Bucs WR Chris Godwin (foot) missed practice again on Thursday. He's in real danger of missing Sunday's game vs. Washington. We'll see if Godwin practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Bucs WR Chris Godwin missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. HC Bruce Arians didn't provide any other details, only saying that they'll need to "wait and see" on Godwin's Week 10 status. Tampa notably signed WR Breshad Perriman to the practice squad earlier this week after he spent 2019 with the team. We'll get another update on Godwin on Thursday.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (quad) is out for Sunday’s game against the Raiders. WR Kenny Golladay (hamstring) is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Out since Week 5, Golladay would be a risky fantasy play if he ends up active. WR John Ross (quad) is also listed as questionable, while WR Dante Pettis (shoulder) was placed on IR on Friday. Kadarius Toney and Darius Slayton are New York's top 2 healthy WRs.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard is expected to miss "some time" with a quad strain suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports. We'll look for a more concrete timetable for Shepard's return, but we should at least expect him to miss Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. The Giants then get a Week 10 bye.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard left in the 1st half of Monday night's game against the Chiefs with a quad injury. The team ruled him out for the rest of the night by the start of the 2nd half. That doesn't bode well for the Week 9 chances for a player who just returned from a hamstring injury. We'll see about the severity of Shepard's quad issue this week.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are active for tonight's game vs. the Chiefs. Shepard missed Weeks 4, 5 and 7 with hamstring trouble but got in 3 limited practices this week. Toney put in 2 limited practices after hurting his ankle in Week 5, aggravating it early in Week 6 and then missing Week 7. Both guys carry some risk of re-injury tonight. But there's also plenty of upside in the plus matchup.

The Athletic's Dan Duggan reports that Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are expected to play vs. the Chiefs tonight. Shepard got in 3 limited practices this week, while Toney got in 2. Both guys are risk/reward fantasy plays coming off injuries.

Buccaneers LB Lavonte David, EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder, hand) and CB Richard Sherman (hamstring) are active for today's game against the Saints.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's game against the Chiefs. It sounds like the team expects him to play, though. ESPN's Jordan Ranaan tweeted Saturday: "Sterling Shepard is good. He's going to play barring a last minute setback." Plan to have Shepard available for fantasy usage this week.

Buccaneers LB Lavonte David (ankle), EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder, hand) and CB Richard Sherman (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. David finished the week with a full practice and should be ready to return. JPP missed practice all week but did so last week as well and then played through a questionable tag. Sherman was limited all week but shouldn't be in anyone's IDP plans anyway.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) got in his 2nd straight limited practice on Friday. He's seemingly on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) will start this weekend's game vs. the Steelers, HC Kevin Stefanski announced Friday. Mayfield will be playing through what's been reported as a fractured humerus bone and torn labrum in his left shoulder. He's at risk of an in-game aggravation, making him an extremely shaky Week 8 fantasy play.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) put in his 2nd straight limited practice on Thursday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers remains uncertain. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Thursday. That seemingly puts him on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll get another update on Shepard tomorrow.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's trying to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers, despite the fractured humerus bone and torn labrum in his left shoulder. Mayfield would obviously be an extremely shaky fantasy play if he ends up suiting up.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are active. They figure to join Dante Pettis as New York’s top 3 WRs. Slayton has some WR3 appeal as the likely target leader.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Giants WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are expected to play against the Panthers today, barring a setback in pregame warmups. WR Sterling Shepard, meanwhile, is a game-time decision with his hamstring injury. We'll get his status around 11:30 am ET, but Shepard will obviously come with elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he ends up active.

The Bears have ruled DL Akiem Hicks out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. He was initially questionable with his groin injury.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and John Ross are questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers with their hamstring injuries. Slayton seems to be in the best shape after putting in 3 limited practices this week. Ross was limited on Thursday and Friday. Shepard was added to the injury report on Thursday and then limited on Friday. He looks like the shakiest bet to play on Sunday. The Giants' healthy WRs right now are Dante Pettis and Collin Johnson. We'll get the team's inactives around 11:30 am ET.

The Buccaneers have ruled LB Lavonte David (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Bears. That will once again make Kevin Minter a starting-level player alongside Devin White. Tampa also ruled out CB Richard Sherman (hamstring), leaving the defense without a recent free-agent addition who stepped into the starting lineup after injuries forced each of the season-opening top 3 corners to miss time. With Carlton Davis and Sean Murphy-Bunting on IR, Jamel Dean, Ross Cockrell (slot) and Dee Delaney look like the top 3 at CB.
