James Washington (shoulder) officially practiced fully today.

Washington is set to return following Pittsburgh’s bye week, and he says his shoulder feels “great” and that the Steelers have the best training staff in the league. The bye came at the perfect time, as Washington missed just one game with his shoulder issue. He’ll be one of the Steelers’ top three receivers against the Dolphins on Monday night, and his big-play ability makes him an intriguing FLEX option if you’re struggling with injuries or players on a bye.

Kerryon Johnson (knee) is considered week-to-week.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter says that Johnson will miss “some time” with his knee issue suffered in yesterday’s loss to the Vikings, and that the second-year running back will be considered week-to-week for now. Consider him out this Sunday against the Giants, but we’ll update you if he’s able to hit the practice field at all. This is a big blow to Detroit’s offense and fantasy owners, and rookie Ty Johnson is set to be the next man up for the Lions. Ty Johnson will likely mostly split the backfield with J.D. McKissic, but it would be a surprise if the Lions don’t bring in another running back with starting experience (perhaps Jay Ajayi or C.J. Anderson, who was with Detroit earlier this season).

Jaylen Samuels (knee) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

Samuels says he’s taking things day-to-day, but it looks like he should be set to return after getting his knee scoped just a few weeks ago. We’ll update you if anything changes, but expect Samuels to mix in behind James Conner against the Dolphins on Monday night. If active, Samuels will have FLEX appeal in deeper leagues in particular.

Chris Herndon (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 7.

Herndon was listed as doubtful for tonight’s matchup against the Patriots, so this was expected. The second-year tight end is getting closer to his 2019 debut, but he remains week-to-week for now.

Delanie Walker (ankle) remains out of practice for the Titans.

We’ll see what happens tomorrow, but Walker appears to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 8. That said, Walker is a veteran player that can probably get in a limited practice session tomorrow before playing on Sunday. The final injury report for the week will be released tomorrow.

Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) is officially active for the Patriots.

Dorsett was said to be dealing with a minor hamstring injury, and he missed just one game with the ailment (basically two games if you count when he left at the start of the game against the Redskins). Especially with Josh Gordon out, Dorsett is a solid FLEX option in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

A.J. Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8.

It was reported last week that Green would be held out until after the trade deadline, so that’s turned out to be true, and with Cincinnati having a bye following their London trip, the earliest we will see him is on November 10 against the Ravens. There is also a chance Green gets moved and suits up for someone else in Week 9, but both he and the team have seemed to indicate a trade won’t happen. Fantasy owners need to hold onto Green as a hopeful WR1 down the stretch.
