Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will practice on Wednesday, his first practice session with the team since injuring his hamstring in August. (Source: Nick Underhill on X)
Fantasy Impact: This is big news for the Saints offense and affected pass catchers. Devaughn Vele has been a viable option with Tyson out, but will see a target decrease as Tyson gets acclimated and playing time ramps up. Juwan Johnson could also see his target share suffer, but he has already been in a bit of decline. Still, Tyson should be usable for fantasy if not this week, certainly by the next.
The Cardinals placed RB Jeremiyah Love on injured reserve. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Love suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. He is expected to be sidelined for the next 4-5 weeks. Pending the status of Bam Knight, Tyler Allgeier will figure to return to the lead role in the Cardinals backfield.

Fantasy Impact: It’s a brutal loss for the Ravens and fantasy managers depending on Lamar’s return. The Ravens offense struggled to get anything going with Lamar out, and it wasn’t helped when backup Tyler Huntley also went down with injury. Jackson will now miss at least the next four games, and quite possibly more.
Jaylen Waddle (chest) is officially active for Week 8 for the Denver Broncos against the Kansas City Chiefs. (Source: Denver Broncos on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Monangai will miss a fourth consecutive contest while continuing to work towards a return to the Chicago backfield for head coach Ben Johnson, with D’Andre Swift in line for the majority of running back touches against the Seahawks Monday night.
TreVeyon Henderson (illness) has been ruled out for Week 8 for the New England Patriots according to Adam Schefter. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter )

Christian Watson (chest) has been taken to the hospital for a potential chest injury. Watson was able to walk off the field, into the lockers, and into the ambulance under his own power, it sounds like it is a precautionary measure to ensure no internal damage was done. He is questionable to return. (Source: Ari Meirov on X)
Fantasy Impact: It’s a bummer to say the least for Watson, who was having a huge first half, catching six passes for 100 yards on seven targets. Hopefully he will be able to return while only missing minimal time, especially given the mini-bye Green Bay is on thanks to the Thursday game.
Jeffery Simmons has been traded to the Chicago Bears according to Tom Pelissero. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Simmons lands on a Chicago defense needing a disruptive interior option for head coach Ben Johnson, while the Titans build up their future draft capital by receiving two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick.
