📝 News & Notes

Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin missed practice, coming along but not ready for contact
My take: This is rather concerning given the Bucs just had their bye and if neither is able to practice after an extra week of rest, they are likely out at least this week, possibly longer. Rather unfortunate for fantasy as the Bucs were initially optimistic neither would need this long given the lack of putting either on the IR.

49ers still are expecting WR Brandon Aiyuk to return from his knee injury later this season [Adam Schefter]
My take: The fact this needed to be said is quite worrying in itself. Fantasy owners may be able to use him in the fantasy playoffs but given what we have seen thus far and then an expected ramp up, not sure we can expect much else.

Cardinals placed QB Kyler Murray on injured reserve with a foot injury
My take: The year of the soft-benching continues as the Cardinals are not looking to rush Kyler back when Jacoby Brissett has outperformed him by just about every metric. Big win for Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride.

My favorite Bet of the Night
Tre Tucker Most Receiving Yards, +500
With Troy Franklin’s emergence as a true complementary piece to Courtland Sutton, the Broncos have been spreading the ball around more when throwing, limiting the upside for any Broncos pass catcher. That combined with the Raiders likely being in a pass-heavy gamescript, Tre Tucker emerging as the #1 WR in Las Vegas and with big play ability, I’m seeing value in this play.
