Cover Wilson. Keep Hall and McCaffrey decisions open.
Wilson is in concussion protocol, Hall was limited and McCaffrey missed Wednesday. Their next reports matter more than an early-week label.

Find Wilson cover now. Keep Hall and McCaffrey available in your plans until the later practice reports settle more.
Wednesday: Wilson DNP, Hall limited, McCaffrey DNP.
Find a usable alternative for Garrett Wilson now. Keep the Breece Hall and Christian McCaffrey decisions open. None of Wednesday's updates is a reason to make all three lineup decisions the same way.
Wilson is in concussion protocol and didn't practise. Hall was limited with his quad injury. McCaffrey missed San Francisco's Wednesday session with his hamstring issue, while Kyle Shanahan hoped he could return in a limited capacity Thursday.
Wilson needs clearance, not optimism
The Jets called Wilson day to day. That doesn't complete the protocol, so make sure you have a Sunday alternative before the last available options disappear.
If Wilson is out, Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. become names to compare with your available receivers. Don't assume one of them inherits every missing target. A receiver you already trust can remain the better start even when a teammate has a new opening.
The useful move today is preparing the bench. The final starting decision can wait.
Hall's return wouldn't erase Allen's work
Hall's limited practice is progress towards availability. It doesn't tell us the first game's workload.
Braelon Allen has produced more than 100 scrimmage yards in four consecutive games, according to the Jets. That gives managers a reason to keep him available even if Hall returns. It isn't a guarantee of a particular split.
If you have both backs, wait for the later reports and any workload guidance before choosing between them. If you have only Hall, avoid dropping your replacement before Hall's status is settled. The risk is losing your working option while the returning player's role is still unclear.
McCaffrey's Thursday matters
Keep McCaffrey in the plan while preparing cover. A Wednesday absence after the bye is information to follow, not proof he will miss the Raiders game.
San Francisco has Kaelon Black available as a roster option to investigate. Adding him makes more sense for a McCaffrey manager short of alternatives than for someone whose bench is already full of usable backs.
Check the next practice report before escalating the claim or changing a settled lineup. Use the start/sit tool once the available players are clearer, rather than letting an early-week injury label decide a close choice on its own.
Wilson clearing protocol restores his starting case. Hall's workload guidance and McCaffrey's next practice participation are the key running-back checkpoints.
