Lamar Jackson is questionable for Sunday against the Bengals after three limited practices. On Friday he called the injury a high-ankle sprain. Jeremy Fowler's source calls him 50/50, and a decision may not come until Sunday morning. Friends, my rule was built for full or nothing, and this week brought neither.

A.J. Brown caught 3 passes for 48 yards in Thursday's 30-24 loss at Chicago, and Yahoo Fantasy has him at 75 yards in two games since returning from IR. He still led New England's receivers with 49 snaps. Folks, my start call went badly, and I am buying more.
John Harbaugh confirmed J.J. McCarthy will make his first start as a Giant Sunday against the Texans, with Jameis Winston as the backup. The case for him rests on one fourth quarter against the Saints: 243 yards after entering down 24. Friends, Sunday starts at 0-0, and that is a different job.
Baker Mayfield, out three games with a dislocated thumb, is set to practice Wednesday for the first time since the injury. The Bucs are game planning as if undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels starts again Sunday at Carolina. Folks, Tampa's third downs were worse with the veteran, so one practice settles less than you think.
Terry McLaurin was carted off during the 49ers' 23-17 win Monday night, and the Commanders fear a significant knee injury. His MRI is today. Mike Evans left with what Kyle Shanahan called Achilles soreness, with no rupture. Friends, Washington's bye makes one wait cheap, and the other comes with a bill.
The Colts relieved general manager Chris Ballard of his duties Monday morning, with the team at 2-4 and five straight seasons without a playoff appearance behind it. Coach Shane Steichen remains on the job. Folks, ownership printed its urgency on letterhead, and I am keeping every Colt I roster.
The Giants are expected to change their backfield rotation against the Saints today. Per Jordan Raanan, Najee Harris is likely to have a larger role, with Cam Skattebo downgraded but still in the mix after his fumbles. Nothing is official. Friends, in July I told you to take him a round early.
