Orlando Sentinel: Fantasy football geeks that figured they made a
shrewd move picking up Tampa Bay RB Carnell "Cadillac" Williams
better not plan on a big comeback Sunday. Williams may not even be
active when the Bucs play at Detroit. "It's not just about
Cadillac," HC Gruden said after practice Wednesday. "It's about
our team. "While Williams is back from his devastating knee injury
of '07 and available, Gruden could not say for certain the 2005
NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year would see action against the
Lions and the league's worst rushing defense. The run of injuries
across the board have depleted personnel for the kicking-game
units. Besides Graham, the Bucs also have lost rookie LB Geno
Hayes to IR after the former Florida State star and 6th-round pick
suffered a knee injury suffered against the Vikings. Hayes was a
fixture on special teams, having blocked a punt and returned it
for a TD in a huge victory over rival Carolina last month.
Activating Williams, who does not play special teams, might be a
luxury the Bucs can't afford right now.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
