Jaguars receiver Ace Sanders has hit the rookie wall … and gone over it.

Sanders put together his third consecutive solid performance in Sunday’s 32-28 win over the Cleveland Browns. The fourth-round pick caught eight passes for a season-high 67 yards.

Sanders had contributed 61 receiving yards in each of the last two games prior to Sunday. His emergence came after a four-game stretch in which he caught two passes for 20 yards combined.

“As fast as we can, we have to learn our players and their strengths,” Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. “Sometimes that takes a lot of time. We’re incorporating more things to utilize Ace’s strengths.”

Fantasy Impact:

The Jags consider him a mismatch and are trying to find ways to get him the ball in man coverage. They lined Sanders up in the backfield several times, putting a strain on Cleveland's defense. He caught multiple passes out of the backfield as well. As the story points out, Sanders accounted for six of the team’s 22 first downs. He was at his best on third down, helping the Jaguars convert three times. The Jaguars were 7-of-16 on third down. He has some limited value here, but could be a help in deeper leagues as the team is looking to get him the ball. Mike Brown's value takes a bit of a hit as a result.

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

Adam Schefter on X

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.
