 We’ve still got a month’s worth of bye weeks to navigate James Daniels Jerseys 2019 , but the early excitement of snapping up new and interesting players has slowed to a drip. That’s because NFL teams have mostly all showed who they are and what they want to be at this point. Maybe there will be some young players who get worked in naturally as they become more comfortable with the offense, but for the most part, it will take an injury (or a return from one) to potentially see an impact player.I’ve got 3 guys for you to consider adding before this week’s set of games start. The first guy is Tre’Quan Smith, rookie wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints. Tre’Quan was drafted in the 3rd round of this year’s draft but was buried behind veteran Tedd Ginn Jr. With Ginn put on the IR earlier this week, Smith should see a significant increase in his snaps. I shouldn’t have to tell you that a significant workload in New Orleans can be useful to our fake game. He had a big game before the Saints bye week, catching Drew Brees’ pass that broke the career yardage record. He was only owned in 5% of leagues to start the week but that number is skyrocketing. Go now to pick him up. I’ll wait.Okay, second guy is D’Onta Foreman White Dan Hampton Jerseys , running back for the Texans. I certainly overestimated this Texans offense coming into the year with a heavy investment in Deshaun Watson, and while it hasn’t been as good as expected, there’s some potential value here. Foreman is coming back from an injury that ended his 2017 and while there’s no guarantee he’ll be an explosive back, a chance at a starting running back is worth a shot on the back end of your bench. He’s currently hovering around the 20% ownership and is worth a stash.Finally, Devonta Freeman was also placed on IR this week, opening the door for Ito Smith to enter the timeshare with Tevin Coleman. Ito’s ownership level crossed over 50% but it’s worth checking if he’s still there in your league. He has scored a TD in each of the last 3 games and while that screams regression, the Falcons offense has been productive and the Falcons have shown a willingness to keep Ito in a full timeshare. A running back in a productive offense is worth having on your fake roster and if he catches fire Dan Hampton Jerseys 2019 , it’s not inconceivable for him to lead the timeshare. Look at what’s happening in Denver with Philip Lindsay taking more of the reps than Royce Freeman or Matt Breida taking over in San Francisco. Sometimes, you just need to take a chance. What’s on your minds this week, gamers? Hit up the comments below or tweet me @gridironborn. The Chicago Bears are still extremely healthy for an NFL team at this point in the season. Cornerback Prince Amukamara will play in Miami this week after a full day of practice today, but corner Marcus Cooper has already been ruled out. And that’s it. Officially speaking, Cooper is the only player listed on Chicago’s injury reportWide receiver Anthony Miller, who missed the week 4 contest against the Buccaneers with an ailing shoulder, has been a full practice participant the last couple days. He says that he will wear a harness to protect his shoulder White Richard Dent Jerseys , but since he wore one in 2017 while at Memphis, he has zero concerns. Starting left guard Eric Kush was been limited earlier this week, but he practiced in full today and will go on Sunday. Even with Kush healthy, we may see some of the rookie James Daniels rotating into that spot like we did in their last game. Adam Shaheen, who is on injured reserve, would be eligible to come back and practice with the team on Monday, but head coach Matt Nagy sounded like that wasn’t going to happen yet. “He’s rehabbing and he’s in all of our meetings Richard Dent Jerseys 2019 ,” Nagy said via the teams Twitter feed. “He has the ability to come back to practice down the road but we’re not there yet.”Here’s something that dawned on me in regards to the Bears playing in the hot south Florida sun.The injury report for the Miami Dolphins is a different story. First the good news for them, as starting left tackle Laremy Tunsil is out of concussion protocol and will play on Sunday according to head coach Adam Gase even though he’s listed as questionable.Here are the other questionable Dolphins. Chase Allen OLBAndre Branch DEA.J. Derby TEJakeem Grant WR (thinks he expects to play)Bobby McCain CB (said he expects to play)T.J. McDonald SCharles Harris DEDeVante Parker WR (believes he’ll be able to play)Ryan Tannehill QB (Sore throwing shoulder)The Dolphins list defensive end Cameron Wake as doubtful with an injured knee, but it is expected that he’ll sit out on Sunday.
