Chester Rogers Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

CLE WR Chester Rogers has been elevated from the practice squad.

The Titans WR room looks to be coming in shape as they prepare for a divisional clash against the Indianapolis Colts. Brown practiced in full and looks to be back. Rogers was upgraded to limited and should be in line to play. Reynolds popped up as DNP due to an illness, but has been in the doghouse anyways and won't be relevant. The big name is Julio Jones, who had his second straight DNP due to a hamstring issue. Jones was able to play last week despite not practicing, so he may still play, but it's clear that the hamstring is a lingering issue and may bother him throughout the year. In a game with one of the highest totals on the week, Jones's absence would pay more dividends for A.J. Brown than anyone else.

Julio Jones (hamstring), Chester Rogers (groin), and Khari Blasingame (knee) all logged DNPs Wednesday ahead of their matchup Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. The biggest concern here is Jones who has been limited so far this season, if he is unable to go A.J. Brown (coming off a big game) could see heavy usage along with Marcus Johnson and Josh Reynolds playing an increased role. Rogers would also be in the mix if he is available to play a larger role. It is early in the week, but this is a situation to keep an eye on as some value at receiver could open up if Jones is forced to miss this weekend's contest.

Julio Jones and Jeremy McNichols have been listed as questionable for Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs while Chester Rogers has been ruled out. If Julio Jones were to miss it is likely that Marcus Johnson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would see expanded roles (even more so than they are already expected to see with Rogers ruled out) and could become viable value options. If McNichols were to miss it is likely that Darrynton Evans would be activated to fill his role as Derrick Henry's backup. A.J. Brown was not listed on the injury report after battling a bout of food poisoning and should be good to go on Sunday in his normal role as the Titans top receiver.

The Titans had three WRs listed on their injury report, with some mixed news as they prepare to play the high-octane Kansas City Chiefs. The good news is that Julio was able to get in a limited session; he was able to play the last game, but left midway due to his hamstring bothering him. He's been able to play in previous years without practice, so this may mean he gives it a go. Brown has been dealing with some severe food poisoning (shout out to Chipotle), but despite his second straight DNP, it still feels as if he will play and he's just taking it easy. Rogers has been dealing with a groin issue, and his may cause him to sit out. The Titans lost Cameron Batson for the year last week, so their depth at WR would be short behind Julio and Brown. Marcus Johnson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would be the next men up, although they'd be impossible to trust if Julio and Brown are both cleared.

A.J. Brown, Julio Jones, Chester Rogers, Jeremy McNichols, and Randy Bullock all logged DNPs Wednesday after a hard fought victory on Monday against the Buffalo Bills. The Titans receiving corps remains banged up with Brown, Jones, and Rogers unable to practice due to injuries, depending on if any are ruled out Marcus Johnson and Josh Reynolds could become better plays. If Jeremy McNichols is unable to play this weekend Darrynton Evans could be activated from IR (currently designated for return) to backup Derrick Henry. This is an important situation to monitor as some receiver value could open up on the Titans if Brown and/or Jones were to be ruled out for Sunday when they are set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in what could be a high scoring affair.

Chester Rogers, Jeremy McNichols, and Khari Blasingame are all listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Chester Rogers looks to slot in as the WR3 with both Julio Jones and A.J.. Brown healthy, so if he were to miss Marcus Johnson or Josh Reynolds would likely step into this role. McNichols should serve as Derrick Henry's backup but if he were to miss Darrynton Evans could be activated off IR and used in this role (Evans is said to be close to returning and has been designated for return since October 6th). The big news for the Titans is that Julio Jones was able to log full practices this week and will be able to return this Monday after dealing with a hamstring injury. He should slot in opposite A.J. Brown in a passing attack that has underwhelmed so far this season. Jones and Brown should be considered on the showdown slate as the Titans will likely be playing from behind and will need to rely on the passing game to keep pace with the Bills.

Rogers' season is over after he fracture his knee Sunday, as the Colts have placed him on injured reserve. It has been a disappointing season for Rogers, as he will set career lows in nearly all categories.

The Colts are without WRs Campbell and Hilton Sunday, meaning Zach Pascal and Chester Rogers will have increased opportunities once again. The Colts' offense struggled last week but will be boosted by the return of Jacoby Brissett.
