Washington at N.Y. Giants, 4:15 ET

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: This could be a slugfest unless the Redskins decide to open it up; Bombs over Baghdad, as Clinton Portis would say. The Redskins didn't score 30 points once last season and averaged just 14 over their final eight games. The key is how productive new starting WR Malcolm Kelly, all 6-foot-4 of him, is against a beat-up New York secondary. Aaron Ross is out and Kevin Dockery (hamstring) may be too gimpy to play. Rookie Bruce Johnson will play a lot and Redskins QB Jason Campbell must take advantage of him. Campbell passed for 365 yards in the two New York games, but the offense scored just 14 points.

Portis ran for 84 yards in the season-opening loss to the Giants last year, but Washington was 6-1 in games in which he rushed for at least 85 yards. No secret what the Giants are going to do. They will come out and test big Albert Haynesworth with Brandon Jacobs and new sidekick, Ahmad Bradshaw. The Giants plan to use some no-huddle offense to keep Big Albert puffing, and Corey Webster figures to isolate on Redskins WR Santana Moss. Chase Blackburn starts at weak-side linebacker for suspended Michael Boley.

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.
