Chargers TE Gerald Everett tallied 5 catches for 36 yards in a Week 9 win over Atlanta. He dropped 1 pass that would have gone for at least 20 yards. His 8 targets were right in line with expectation — but the yardage certainly underwhelmed. On 43 Justin Herbert pass attempts, Everett’s 8 targets actually tied for 3rd on the team with fill-in WR Michael Bandy. The TE should remain busy this week at San Francisco with Mike Williams (and likely Keenan Allen) sidelined.
Lions HC Dan Campbell said Monday that RB D'Andre Swift avoided a setback in Sunday's win over the Packers. Swift played just 16% of the offensive snaps in that one, finishing with 2 carries and 3 catches on 4 targets. "We're hopeful we can give him a little bit more this week," Campbell said. We'll monitor Swift's status this week, but he can't be considered more than a RB3 or flex play until we see his volume grow.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift collected just 2 carries (for 10 yards) and 3 receptions (among 4 targets) in Sunday's win over the Packers. He delivered a solid 40 yards receiving, ranking 2nd on the team. But the low usage fell in line with signals from HC Dan Campbell through the week that Swift's role would be limited. We'll see what the coach has to say leading up to the Week 10 visit to Chicago. RB Jamaal Williams amassed 24 carries for 81 yards against Green Bay.
Chargers WR DeAndre Carter (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was added to the injury report on Friday and listed as questionable, but Carter should be ready to operate as Los Angeles’ #2 WR today with Mike Williams and Keenan Allen out.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Packers. He got in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday this week and is expected to play a limited role today.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is expected to play vs. the Packers today. He'll be "in a limited role like last week," Schefter adds. "Lions are trying to manage Swift’s snaps to get the most out of him." Swift actually played 55% of Detroit's offensive snaps last week but finished with just 5 carries and 5 targets. He carries a wide range of outcomes in Week 9 fantasy lineups. See where Swift sits in the RB Rankings.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. He suffered a setback with that hamstring while training over the bye week and didn't practice at all this week. Allen said he's not returning until he's back to 100%, so consider him iffy for Week 10. WR Mike Williams (ankle) is also out for Sunday's game, while WR DeAndre Carter was added to the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable with an illness. We'll see if he's able to suit up come Sunday. Josh Palmer should lead Chargers WRs in targets against Atlanta's 31st-ranked WR defense. Los Angeles' other healthy WRs are Michael Bandy and Jason Moore. WRs Joe Reed, John Hightower and Keelan Doss are on the practice squad. RB Austin Ekeler and TE Gerald Everett also project for strong volume this weekend.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Packers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Dan Campbell said Friday that the “plan” is for Swift to play but that they’ll need to "see where he's at." After tallying just 5 carries and 5 targets last weekend, Swift is no better than a risk/reward RB2 in Week 9 fantasy lineups.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We're expecting him to suit up for this weekend's game vs. the Packers. But Swift won't be at 100% and figures to be on a touch count.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Falcons this weekend.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. He was a full participant all last week before handling just 5 carries and 5 targets in the loss to Miami. HC Dan Campbell admitted earlier this week that Swift still isn't at 100%. We're still expecting him to play against the Packers on Sunday, but don't expect Swift to get a full workload.
ESPN's Lindsay Thiry reports that Chargers WR Keenan Allen says his bothersome hamstring "got worse" during training over the bye week. Allen added that he won't be playing limited snaps the next time he takes the field but that "it will be all or nothing, with his hamstring absolutely ready to go," according to Thiry. That seems to indicate he's not a great bet to play Sunday against the Falcons. We'll certainly be watching this situation. The Chargers will already be without WR Mike Williams (ankle), so Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter might be the lead duo at Atlanta.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen will not practice on Wednesday as he continues dealing with hamstring trouble. “We are being careful with him," HC Brandon Staley said. "It hasn’t responded the way we have wanted." It's concerning news with the Chargers coming off their bye week. It sounds like Allen isn't even a lock to play vs. the Falcons this weekend -- and will probably be on some type of snap count if he does.
Lions HC Dan Campbell made it clear Tuesday that RB D'Andre Swift still isn't back to 100%. “We probably gave Swift one too many carries,” Campbell said of his Week 8 usage. “We love Swift. Glad he’s out there, but he’s not back." Swift played 54% of Detroit's offensive snaps in the loss to Miami but finished with just 5 carries and 5 targets. That followed a full week of practice. It doesn't sound like we should expect significantly more work in this Sunday's game vs. the Packers.
Panthers WR D.J. Moore trounced the Falcons for 6-152-1 in Week 8. He saw 11 targets — a 30.5% team share — continuing a post- Christian McCaffrey/Robbie Anderson trend. Moore’s highlight came on a 62-yard deep ball that sent the game to OT — and showed off some awful defensive back play. Still, credit Moore for delivering on the type of performance we expected over the summer, especially in a plus matchup. With Walker remaining the starter for the foreseeable future, Moore will stick around as a weekly WR2. Next up is a Bengals squad that was smoked by Amari Cooper (5-131-1) on Monday night.
Lions RB D’Andre Swift returned in Week 8 to post only 10 total touches. He was out-carried 10-5 by Jamaal Williams but salvaged his fantasy day with 5 catches and a TD while isolated on a LB. Detroit jumped out to a big lead in this one before trailing over the final 15 minutes. While perhaps the team simply eased Swift back into action, it’s worth nothing that he participated fully in practice last Wednesday-Friday. We’ll see if his workload grows this week against Green Bay.
Texans EDGE Rasheem Green (knee) is active for today's game against the Titans.
Seahawks RB Travis Homer (ribs) has been activated from IR, putting him on track to play vs. the Giants on Sunday. Homer was getting some passing-down work before going down in Week 3. We'll see how much of that he steals from RB Ken Walker going forward.
Texans DL Rasheem Green (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. He popped up on the injury report Friday after a limited practice. We'll check his status Sunday.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He’ll return for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins and should be ready for a full workload.
