Steelers | Diontae Johnson healed up Tue Oct 20, 12:39 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (back) will practice Wednesday, Oct. 21.
| Footballguys view: Johnson should be back in action for the Steelers in the near future. Check his status on Friday to see if he's going to play in Week 7. Also, make sure to drop projections for James Washington if Johnson is cleared to play. It's a battle of the undefeated as the Steelers travel to take on the Titans this Sunday. |

Dolphins | Ryan Fitzpatrick relegated to bench Tue Oct 20, 11:37 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will be replaced as starter after the Week 7 bye by QB Tua Tagovailoa.
| Footballguys view: Fitzpatrick has done his job and the team is ready to move on. This was the team's plan all along, it just comes as a bit of a surprise as Fitzpatrick has mostly played well this season and the Dolphins are 3-3 heading into their Week 7 bye. |

Dolphins | Tua Tagovailoa taking the reins Tue Oct 20, 11:36 AM
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa was named starting quarterback in Week 8 after the team's bye this week.
| Footballguys view: We all knew this day would come...the timing is just interesting. Tagovailoa has the upside to be a franchise quarterback -- something the Dolphins have not had since the days of Dan Marino. They have a bye in Week 7 to give the rookie first-round pick more time to get ready to go. Fantasy GMs in 2-QB leagues or superflex formats should be adding Tagovailoa on the waiver wire this week. |
Bengals | John Ross asked for trade Tue Oct 20, 09:51 AM
Cincinnati Bengals WR John Ross approached the team about a trade. Ross is in the last year of his rookie deal and seeking a fresh start.
| Footballguys view: Things just haven't gone well for Ross in Cincinnati. He's been hurt most of his pro career having played just 26 games in four years. Ross has been sick (illness in Week 5) or a healthy scratch for all but three games in 2020. He did play in Week 6 but only got on the field for one snap. We'll see if Ross gets traded away but the Bengals likely won't get much in return. |

Chiefs | More on Le'Veon Bell's deal Tue Oct 20, 09:03 AM
Updating previous reports, Kansas City Chiefs RB Le'Veon Bell will receive $500,000 for 25 percent playing time in an AFC title win and $500,000 for 25 percent playing time in a Super Bowl win.
| Footballguys view: Bell gets to debut with his new team in Week 7 on the road against the Broncos. We'll see how much they use him in his first game and how much Bell contributes as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Bell should split time in the backfield going forward. |
