Oct 13, 2008

Kansas City Star: The NFL trade deadline is today, making it the
last day for the Chiefs to honor TE Tony Gonzalez's request for a
deal. The Chiefs also have tried to trade RB Larry Johnson, but
had failed to attract any interest. Not so with Gonzalez. Several
teams, including the Giants, Packers and Bills, expressed an
interest, and the Chiefs have until 3 p.m. to work out a trade.
Gonzalez's wish to end his career playing for a Super Bowl
contender rather than a rebuilding team such as the Chiefs. "He
wants to win," said CB Patrick Surtain, who was sent to the Chiefs
in 2005 after asking Miami for a trade. His request, though, had
more to do with wanting a lucrative new contract than playing for
a more successful team. "We're a very young team, and we knew we
were going through some ups and downs this year. He doesn't feel
he has many more years to play, and he wants an opportunity to
win. Who can blame him? He has every record you could want
individually, but he wants the chance to play for the Super Bowl.
"He feels he has a better chance somewhere else."

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.
