David Njoku Not Practicing Wednesday

Wednesday, October 15, 11:47 AM

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. David Njoku left early in Cleveland's Week 6 loss to the Steelers after injuring his knee. Before leaving, the veteran tight end secured three of six targets for 28 yards. His status for Week 7 against the Dolphins is up in the air as he missed practice to begin the week, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice on Thursday and Friday. If Njoku were to miss the upcoming game, rookie Harold Fannin Jr. would see a big boost and upgrade to clear TE1 territory for Week 7 against Miami.

Deebo Samuel Sr. Officially Active on Monday Night

Monday, October 13, 7:28 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is officially active for the Monday night contest in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. Samuel was only able to get in one limited practice going into Monday's game, which is why he was listed as questionable on Saturday's final injury report. However, he'll end up suiting up for Washington, which is good news, considering they will be without both Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee) for yet another game. It's possible that Samuel won't be entirely 100% health-wise on Monday, but he still deserves to be started in all fantasy lineups now that he's active. Samuel has been the Commanders' go-to offensive weapon through the air in the last two weeks with McLaurin and Brown out, and that shouldn't change much on Monday in a plus matchup. The 29-year-old will be looking to find the end zone for the third straight week.
