Mon Oct 12 201515:02The Chiefs plan to bring Thomas in for workoutPierre ThomasRBSaintsFree Agent
The Chiefs plan to bring Thomas in for a workout, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
As the Chiefs look for running back help after losing Jamaal Charles to a knee injury, the team is also taking a look at Ben Tate. The Chiefs' current in-house options to fill in for Charles are Charcandrick West, Knile Davis and perhaps even DeAnthony Thomas, but if Thomas looks good in his workout, he could be a nice addition to the Kansas City backfield.

Britt briefly existed Sunday's game against the Packers with a shoulder injury, but later returned to the action, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Britt entered Sunday's game with a knee concern and hurt his shoulder late in the first half. Although he eventually was able to return to the action, Britt still finished with zero catches for the second straight game, as the Rams' passing offense struggled mightily Sunday.
Mon Oct 12 201514:52Pierce carried twice for six yards in Sunday's loss to Tampa BayBernard PierceRBRavensFree Agent
Pierce carried twice for six yards in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.
The news here is that T.J. Yeldon left Sunday's game with a groin injury, and if he ends up missing any time, Pierce could be thrust into action. With Denard Robinson (knee) still banged up, a Yeldon absence would likely result in Pierce and Toby Gerhart handling the bulk of the rushing workload in what has not been a productive ground attack this season.
Mon Oct 12 201514:38Smith signed with Bears on MondayAntone SmithRBFalconsFree Agent
Smith signed with the Bears on Monday.
Smith's signing in Chicago comes in wake of Jacquizz Rodgers suffering a fractured arm during Sunday's game against the Chiefs. After an explosive start to last season, Smith suffered a broken leg of his own and was released with an injury settlement from the Falcons ahead of the current campaign. Now, Smith will have an opportunity to earn touches as a reserve runner in the Bears' backfield for the remainder of this season.
Mon Oct 12 201514:33Rodgers placed on Bears' injured reserve list after suffering fr...Jacquizz RodgersRBFalconsFree Agent
Rodgers has been placed on the Bears' injured reserve list after suffering a fractured arm in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Rodgers' broken right arm will end his season after just five games and likely result in rookie Jeremy Langford seeing even more snaps behind starter Matt Forte at running back. While Ka'Deem is in the mix as well, Chicago also signed free agent Antone Smith on Monday to replace Rodgers going forward.
Mon Oct 12 201514:25Hankerson exited first half of Sunday's game due to rib injury, ...Leonard HankersonWRRedskinsFree Agent
Hankerson exited the first half of Sunday's game due to a rib injury, but returned in the second half and finished with one catch (on four targets) for 13 yards against the Redskins.
Hankerson's lackluster production reflected his missed time during Sunday's game, but fortunately his rib ailment doesn't seem like it'll impact him moving forward. Nonetheless, his practice involvement this week may be worth a peek, as the Falcons' next game is already on Thursday against the Saints.
Mon Oct 12 201514:15Freeney will sign one-year contract with CardinalsDwight FreeneyDEColtsFree Agent
Freeney will sign a one-year contract with the Cardinals, NFL.com reports.
Freeney played 16 games for the Chargers last season, compiling 10 tackles and 3.5 sacks in a reduced role. However, at 35 years old, Freeney's 111.5 career sacks rank among the active leaders in the league, and he's familiar with Cardinals coach Bruce Arians from their days with the Colts. While Freeney will likely occupy a specialist role, his presence could bolster an Arizona defense that has forced 13 turnovers already this season.
Mon Oct 12 201513:56Grimes (hamstring) returned to practice MondayJonathan GrimesRBJaguarsFree Agent
Grimes (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, ESPN.com reports.
Grimes was inactive for Thursday night's game against the Colts, but apparently used the weekend to improve his knee injury. With Alfred Blue (toe) banged-up, Grimes could gain extra practice reps this week in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Mon Oct 12 201513:34Wallace did not practice MondayMike WallaceWRSteelersFree Agent
Wallace did not practice Monday, but it's unclear why that was the case, 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports.
Wallace has now missed two practices open to the media since Minnesota's Week 4 loss to the Broncos. In that game, Wallace played virtually every offensive snap for the Vikings, so it's unclear why he's been sidelined recently. Expect clarification on Wallace's situation to surface as this week unfolds.
Mon Oct 12 201513:18Olawale rushed for 13 yards on six carries in Sunday's loss to D...Jamize OlawaleRBRaidersFree Agent
Olawale rushed for 13 yards on six carries in Sunday's loss to Denver.
Olawale received the second-most carries on the team behind Latavius Murray on Sunday and he seems to be back to 100-percent after an ankle injury plagued him a few weeks ago. Olawale won't hold a ton fantasy value moving forward, unless the Raiders were to experience numerous injuries in the backfield.
Mon Oct 12 201513:07Whitner posted nine tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed in...Donte WhitnerS49ersFree Agent
Whitner posted nine tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's victory over the Ravens.
Whitner remains a highly productive IDP option in leagues that require starting defensive backs, as the 30-year-old has collected five or more tackles in each game this season. He remains in search of his first turnover, however.
Mon Oct 12 201513:04Dansby led Browns with 10 combined tackles (three solo) in Sunda...Karlos DansbyLBDolphinsFree Agent
Dansby led the Browns with 10 combined tackles (three solo) in Sunday's victory over the Ravens.
Dansby's first double-digit tackle total of the season propelled him to the team lead (40 combined tackles), slightly edging out Donte Whitner. That being said, Dansby has yet to collect a sack or turnover this season, leaving many IDP owners with much to be desired.
Mon Oct 12 201512:28Hasselbeck (illness) full participant in Monday's practiceMatt HasselbeckQBTitansFree Agent
Hasselbeck (illness) was a full participant in Monday's practice.
Hasselbeck battled through a bacterial infection to lead the Colts to a Week 5 victory in the absence of starting quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder). Although Hasselbeck's illness has since passed, Luck was also a full participant in Monday's practice, likely indicating he's ready to return to the lineup and thus relegate Hasselbeck to his usual backup position for this Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Mon Oct 12 201512:23Luck (shoulder) full participant in Monday's practiceAndrew LuckQBColtsFree Agent
Luck (shoulder) was a full participant in Monday's practice, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
Luck has missed the Colts' past two games while dealing with a shoulder issue, but appears in line to return to his starting position for Sunday night's game against the Patriots. Although his practice involvement as the week unfolds will still have to be monitored, Luck's full participation Monday bodes well for him being ready for Week 6.
Mon Oct 12 201512:09Crosby made 35-yard field goal and three extra points in Packers...Mason CrosbyKPackersFree Agent
Crosby made a 35-yard field goal and three extra points in the Packers' victory over the Rams on Sunday.
The Packers offense managed just two touchdowns and a field goal Sunday, which resulted in a quiet day for Crosby. He is 11th in the league with 39 points, but he has been limited to just one made field goal in four of the Packers' five games.
Mon Oct 12 201512:09Grimes (knee) not participating in Monday's practiceBrent GrimesCBFalconsFree Agent
Grimes (knee) is not participating in Monday's practice, The Miami Herald reports.
Grimes sprained his MCL during the Dolphins' Week 4 game in London, but fortunately had the team's subsequent bye week to get treatment and rest the injury. Nonetheless, as Miami returns to practice Monday, Grimes remains sidelined, making his status one to monitor as this Sunday's matchup against the Titans approaches.
Mon Oct 12 201512:03Hawkins hauled in seven of nine targets for 49 yards in Sunday's...Andrew HawkinsWRBengalsFree Agent
Hawkins hauled in seven of his nine targets for 49 yards in Sunday's victory over the Ravens.
Hawkins saw a season-best in yards, targets and receptions, but that didn't necessarily mean an above-average fantasy output. Gary Barnidge and Travis Benjamin made most of the noise in the passing game for Cleveland, and even Taylor Gabriel accrued more receiving yards in the outing. Although Hawkins is a viable bench option in deeper PPR formats due to his consistent looks, fantasy owners have learned by now to temper their expectations.
Mon Oct 12 201512:02Peppers recorded two tackles (both solo), sack, and forced fumbl...Julius PeppersDEBearsFree Agent
Peppers recorded two tackles (both solo), a sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's victory over the Rams.
Peppers has just 14 (10 solo) tackles so far this year, but he has recorded at least one sack in four of the Packers' five games and has a total of 4.5 on the season.
Mon Oct 12 201512:01Tate has workout scheduled with Chiefs on TuesdayBen TateRBTexansFree Agent
Tate has a workout scheduled with the Chiefs on Tuesday, The Kansas City Star reports.
Tate's workout comes in wake of Jamaal Charles' torn ACL suffered Sunday, leaving the Chiefs' running back corp in need of help. After spending the first three years of his career with the Texans, Tate played for the Browns, Vikings and Steelers over the course of last season, including the playoffs. While he obviously was unable to stick with any of those organizations, Tate's experience makes him a veteran worth consideration from the Chiefs, explaining Tuesday's workout.
Mon Oct 12 201511:37Succop 2-2 on field goal attempts and made lone extra point Sund...Ryan SuccopKChiefsFree Agent
Succop went 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and made his lone extra point Sunday against the Bills.
The 29-year-old kicker connected from 21 yards out and again later from 41. He's yet to miss in 2015, hitting all four of his field goal attempts and making all 12 extra points through four weeks.
