Cincinnati Enquirer: The Bengals have changed the guard this
season at tailback. Chris Perry, their 1st-round pick in 2004,
took over as featured back from Rudi Johnson, who was cut at
preseason's end. Dede Dorsey is out for the season with a
hamstring injury. The Bengals terminated the contract Saturday of
their leading rusher from 2007, Kenny Watson, though Watson is
expected to be re-signed soon. But the biggest move was the
addition Tuesday of the 2005 draft's #4 overall pick Cedric Benson, who had three star-crossed seasons in Chicago before being
cut loose in June. Benson made his Bengals debut Sunday at Dallas,
running 10 times for 30 yards, including an impressive streak of
six consecutive carries in the 2nd quarter for 25 yards. "I want
to get more in-depth in the playbook and play better and get a
bigger role," Benson said after the game. "I was pretty pumped up
after getting the first couple of touches." Lewis liked what he
saw. "Cedric did some good things running the football," Lewis
said.

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.
