Update: Travis Kelce (concussion) was a full participant in practice today.

He was said to have cleared a step in protocol and would be limited, but it looks like he might be fully cleared with his full participation. Expect him out there on Sunday against the Steelers as an elite TE1 option.

Derek Carr (back) was limited in practice today.

Carr is expected to play after missing last week due to the transverse fracture in his back, but we need to watch his practice status during the week.

Tavon Austin gets two carries in Week 6.

The Jaguars did a good job of limiting Austin, as he had a six-yard carry and a -6-yard carry, totaling zero yards on his two attempts. Austin isn’t a recommended fantasy option given his usual weekly amount of touches.

Jerick McKinnon handles 21 touches, scores twice in Week 6 win.

McKinnon rushed 16 times for 69 yards and a touchdown, adding five catches for 30 yards and another score through the air. The versatile back out-touched Latavius Murray 21 to 16 and out-gained him 99 to 37, despite Murray getting the start again. It seems like Minnesota has blocked a little better for McKinnon, but he’s doing a great job of finding the hole and accelerating through it. There are concerns about whether or not he can handle this workload for an extended period of time, but fantasy owners should play him every week as an RB2 option. He gets the Ravens in Week 7.

Ezekiel Elliott’s preliminary injunction has been overturned by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Currently, Zeke’s six-game suspension is back into effect and will kick start in Week 7, as Dallas has a bye this week. There’s a chance this is the end of the suspension saga for Elliott once and for all, but the Elliott can still refile in New York and attempt to get another preliminary injunction while the suspension is fought over. But for now, consider Elliott out for the Cowboys’ next six games, which are against San Francisco, Washington, Kansas City, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles (Chargers). It’s a huge blow to the Cowboys, but Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden are both capable of filling in for Elliott. Morris has been working as the clear number two while McFadden hasn’t even been active on game days, but there’s certainly a chance McFadden gets some carries too. We might not know how the workload in the backfield will be until the Cowboys face the 49ers in Week 7.

DeVante Parker (ankle) did not practice today.

It’s only Wednesday and the injury reportedly isn’t too serious, but it’s still a concern that Parker wasn’t able to come back against the Titans on Sunday after injuring the ankle early in the game. We’ll see if he’s able to practice tomorrow.

Travaris Cadet sees four touches in Week 6 loss.

Cadet rushed once for three yards and caught three passes for 26 yards. The former Saint was clearly behind Matt Forte and Elijah McGuire for touches. He’s not a fantasy option.
