Wednesday Update

BAL - RB Kenneth Dixon cuts into backfield workload
Source: USA TODAY Fantasy Sports

Baltimore Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon was in for 29 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps in Week 9. He only managed 13 yards on nine carries in addition to two catches for zero yards.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Ravens have been talking about getting Dixon more involved for some time now. It would help his cause if Dixon would actually produce at a high level with the touches he's getting. Most re-draft owners can leave Dixon on the waiver wire speed dial, but dynasty owners should continue to watch his development with great interest.

CLE - QB Cody Kessler to throw deeper?
Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot

Cleveland Browns QB Cody Kessler is expected to throw more deep balls in the eyes of head coach Hue Jackson.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Kessler has the fourth-lowest air-yards-per-attempt average (6.93 yards) in the NFL so far this year. His off-target percentage (10.1 percent) is the best in the league. It makes sense that his passes are on target because he's not really stretching the field. We'll see this numbers altered (likely negatively) when/if he starts launching passes deep.

CLE - WR Corey Coleman should play better
Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot
Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman (hand) is expected to play much better in his second game back from a broken hand, in the opinion of head coach Hue Jackson.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

In Week 9 against the Cowboys, Coleman played 40 snaps for the Browns. He was targeted seven times, but he only hauled in three passes for 41 yards. Coleman is a boom/bust 'what the heck' flex play as he gets back up to speed.

Back to Top

NO - New Orleans to stick with RBBC for now
Source: ESPN.com - Mike Triplett

New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram totaled 171 yards on 17 touches and earned the game ball in a Week 9 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, but head coach Sean Payton is apparently content riding the hot hand for the time being.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
It's important to note as Ingram is back in the good graces of head coach Sean Payton (and fantasy owners). Also, the Saints are at home against a Broncos defense that can be run on early and often. Both Ingram and Hightower could have success on the ground in Week 10. Ingram could post RB1 numbers, and Hightower makes for a RB2/flex option.

Back to Top

SEA - RB Thomas Rawls ruled out for Week 10
Source: The Seattle Times - Bob Condotta

Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (leg) will not play in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, but head coach Pete Carroll suggested Rawls is in line to return in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

They're calling him out early again this week. Rawls could return in Week 11, and his role may be larger than some thought just a few weeks ago. The Seahawks are using less of Christine Michael and more of rookie C.J. Prosise. Pick up Rawls on the waiver wire and stash him if you can.

Back to Top

PIT - TE Ladarius Green could play in Week 10
Source: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Ladarius Green (ankle) has a chance to play in Week 10 versus the Dallas Cowboys, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Keep this in mind if you're in a deep league and need TE help. Green has always been physically gifted, but he's never played up to his potential. Perhaps in a high-powered Steelers passing attack, Green could finally produce at a high level.

Back to Top

KC - 'Good chance' RB Spencer Ware plays Week 10
Source: The Kansas City Star - Blair Kerkhoff

Kansas City Chiefs RB Spencer Ware (concussion) has a 'good chance' of playing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 10, according to head coach Andy Reid, who quickly admitted Ware still has to pass the league's concussion protocol.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Getting Ware back will greatly help the Chiefs offense. Regardless of how the gamescript unfolds, Ware can be a fantasy factor as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. If he's cleared, we'll have him as a RB1 for fantasy owners in Week 10.

TB - RB Jacquizz Rodgers unlikely to go Week 10
Source: ESPN.com - Jenna Laine

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Jacquizz Rodgers (foot) is still in a walking boot and appears to be a 'longshot' to suit up against the Chicago Bears in Week 10, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

No surprise here. With Doug Martin (hamstring) also banged up, the Bucs may turn to rookie Peyton Barber as the lead back.

NYJ - QB Ryan Fitzpatrick likely to get Week 10 nod
Source: ESPN - Ed Werder

New York Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams despite spraining his left MCL in a Week 9 loss to the Miami Dolphins, according to a source.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
What are the Jets waiting for? They need to evaluate their young QBs, and Fitzpatrick is not 100 percent. Bryce Petty will draw the start if Fitzpatrick cannot go.

DAL - QB Dak Prescott to remain starter for now
Source: Fort Worth Star-Telegram - Charean Williams

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will continue to start as long as he has the hot hand, but owner Jerry Jones promises to play the situation 'by ear', according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Charean Williams.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Cowboys don't need to mess with the chemistry here. We're hopeful that Prescott continues to play well as the starter, and that means Tony Romo could return as a backup. Lord only knows if the Cowboys will follow that line of thinking.

Back to Top

LA - QB Jared Goff will continue to watch
Source: NFL.com - Chris Wesseling

Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff will continue to look on as the backup to QB Case Keenum. 'We're taking out time,' head coach Jeff Fisher said Monday, Nov. 7. 'We're being patient. When we feel it's the right time, he'll be under center.' The team is unlikely to change their quarterback as long as the postseason remains a possibility.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The rookie isn't ready, but there will be a tipping point where the Rams put him in to see what he can do. That's not just yet as Case Keenum will remain the starter in Week 10.

Back to Top

KC - QB Nick Foles likely back to bench
Source: NFL.com - Nick Shook

Kansas City Chiefs QB Nick Foles is likely headed back to the bench for Week 10, as QB Alex Smith (head, ear) is expected to be ready to face the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Smith is over whatever injury he had, and he'll be back in the starting lineup for the Chiefs. As we've seen with Andy Reid, no matter who is the QB the gameplan is always going to be conservative in nature.

NYG - WR Victor Cruz shouldn't be out long
Source: NFL Network - Kimberly Jones
New York Giants WR Victor Cruz (ankle) said he might miss just one game after suffering a low-grade right ankle sprain in Week 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

A low-grade ankle sprain is not a big deal. In the meantime, rookie WR Sterling Shepard could see a bump in snaps, targets and receptions.

Back to Top

SF - Still no contact for RB Carlos Hyde
Source: NFL.com - Mark E. Ortega

San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde (shoulder) is still wearing a non-contact jersey in practice. He has not played since Week 6 while nursing a shoulder injury.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

A shoulder injury can be tricky for a power back like Hyde to come back from. Watch his practice status during the week to see if we get an update. Go out and get DuJuan Harris on the waiver wire if you can. Harris would continue to be the lead back for the 49ers if Hyde misses more time.

Back to Top

CLE - RB Isaiah Crowell won't find much room
Source: USA TODAY Fantasy Sports

Cleveland Browns RB Isaiah Crowell will battle the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10 Thursday, Nov. 10. The Ravens rank second in the NFL, and first in the AFC, giving up just 76.1 yards per game with four touchdowns.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Crowell may find things cramped on the ground, but as he proved in Week 9 against the Cowboys he can be utilized effectively as a receiver out of the backfield. We'll have him in a lot of lineups this week, but expectations will be adjusted back accordingly.

LA - Another tough day for RB Todd Gurley?
Source: USA TODAY Fantasy Sports

Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley will face the New York Jets in Week 10, and it might be another tough day for Gurley. The Jets rank fourth in the NFL yielding just 81.0 yards per game with six touchdowns.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Jets do have a tough run defense, but Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi was able to go over 100 yards against them in Week 9. The Dolphins are committed to the ground game where it seems like the Rams are not. We're not losing hope on Gurley, but we've all adjusted our expectations downward. Gurley is a RB2/flex play in Week 10.

Back to Top

MIA - RB Jay Ajayi to face tough defense
Source: USA TODAY Fantasy Sports

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi will meet the San Diego Chargers in Week 10. The Chargers rank fifth in the NFL against the rush, allowing just 85.3 yards per game. However, San Diego has yielded 13 rushing scores.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Ajayi faced a tough run defense in Week 9 against the Jets and he still rushed for over 100 yards. He's the type of RB that can grind down an opponent, and the Dolphins are more than willing to feed him the rock. Even in a tough matchup, Ajayi could post RB1 numbers.

Back to Top

TEN - RB DeMarco Murray set for challenge
Source: USA TODAY Fantasy Sports

Tennessee Titans RB DeMarco Murray will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 10. The Packers rank No. 1 in the NFL in rushing defense, giving up just 75.8 yards per game with four touchdowns.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Titans want to run the ball all day every day, so Murray should still be able to post RB1 numbers. The Colts were not successful running the ball against the Packers in Week 9, but they're not built to run the ball...and oh yeah -- Frank Gore had two rushing TDs in that contest. Start Murray with confidence in Week 10.

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Cowboys have made no announcements about Romo's availability, but clearly he's super close to returning. When he's ready to play, the Cowboys will have to decide whether to go back to Romo or stick with rookie QB Dak Prescott.

Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley (thigh) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Gurley is not being used enough by the Rams. At this time, fantasy owners should be considering him a RB2 or even a flex play. We believe in his amazing natural talent, but the team just has to show more commitment to the run before we trust him.

Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 9.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Booker should still be the lead back for the Broncos. Yes, Kapri Bibbs should be picked up off the waiver wire if he's out there but he is only a 'what the heck' flex for fantasy owners. Booker is more of a RB2.

Benjamin is trying to play with this knee injury, and he's struggling to produce. Last week against Tennessee, Benjamin was only able to play seven snaps.

We saw the same scenario unfold with Williams last week in practice, then he went out and had 65 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Titans in Week 9.

Williams did play sparingly against the Ravens in Week 9, and perhaps his workload will continue to increase as the backup behind Le'Veon Bell.

The Jets have used Forte well three out of the last four games, and he's been successful. If the Jets are wise, they should attack on the ground and keep the ball out of their quarterback's hands. We think they do that and he gets a full load of carries, and should be a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The backfield stays messy. And there is some talk that Matt Jones could be a healthy scratch for this week's game. The other issue is Jay Gruden's inconsistent use of the running backs and the run game itself. Thompson is a RB3 this weekend, and not as good a RB3 as Rob Kelley either. Both are fringe starters.

Los Angeles has a decent defense, and Ryan Fitzpatrick is killing his stats as well. The two were openly feuding during the last game when Marshall had to bounce up and down at the line to get Fitzpatrick's attention about a favorable matchup. Marshall lobbied to bring Fitzpatrick back but the bloom is off the rose. This week, Marshall is a decent WR2, as even when he is bad, Fitzpatrick at least tries to get Marshall the ball.

Fitzpatrick is still the Jets starting quarterback, a baffling concept since the Jets are literally just playing because it's scheduled. Why Bryce Petty isn't under center brings up questions as to what is motivating this coaching staff. Don't put Fitzpatrick in your lineup this week, unless you get points for your quarterback throwing picks.

Frankly, Stills is just too volatile to trust when healthy. It's not always on him, of course, since he only gets so many targets, but it doesn't make him any more helpful to his fantasy GMs. He's a WR6 unless a solid San Diego defense this week.

So him and the doctors and will get together at the end of the week and make a determination on where he feels." That's a lot of words to say that Hyde's status is up in the air. The best case if you own Hyde and DuJuan Harris is that Hyde is ruled out and Harris is the clear low-end RB2/Flex play. If both are active, then they will likely split the work and neither will be a good play in a bad matchup.

NE - RB Dion Lewis activated

New England Patriots RB Dion Lewis (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, Nov. 12.

It looks like Lewis should play against the Seahwaks. If he does, fantasy owners should see him as a flex play for this week. But with definite value going forward.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Doug Martin (hamstring) will be active for the game Sunday, Nov. 13, against the Chicago Bears.

Martin is back for the first time since Week 2. We want to see what he looks like before trusting him as anything more than a flex play. The Bucs could still give Peyton Barber a sizable workload as Martin could be eased back in.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Ladarius Green was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, Nov. 12.

Green has the ability to be a TE1 for fantasy owners...but not this week. The Steelers should have him on a snap count in his first week of action. Green's physical ability is obvious but injury and inconsistency have plagued his entire pro career.

SEA - RB C.J. Prosise could start Week 10

Source: The Tacoma News Tribune - Gregg Bell

Seattle Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise could serve as the starting running back for Week 10's game against the New England Patriots.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Christine Michael is a game-time decision (most likely) for the Seahawks. Prosise, a converted WR from Notre Dame, has been doing more in recent weeks -- especially as a receiver out of the backfield. His snaps (16, 23, 26) have increased each of the last three weeks, and if Prosise is the starter then he could set a season high in Week 10. We see Prosise as an interesting DFS play if he starts, and a flex option for season-long fantasy players.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Christine Michael (hamstring, questionable) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Patriots.

The Seahawks are playing on Sunday night but it doesn't look like Michael owners will have to sweat it out. C-Mike's shrinking workload is of much greater concern than his hamstring issue. With Michael struggling and rookie C.J. Prosise hogging most of the passing-down work, C-Mike is no better than an RB3 against New England. Essentially, you're praying for him to score a goal-line touchdown.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Carlos Hyde (shoulder, questionable) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 10 game against the Cardinals.

Hyde's shoulder injury sidelined him a bit longer than expected but after putting in another limited week of practice, it looks like he's finally ready to go. Hyde is usually a weekly RB2 in fantasy but we're always hesitant to trust players coming off lengthy injuries, especially in a matchup where game script could become an issue. He belongs on the RB2/3 borderline.

Monday Update

MIN - Jake Long done for the season

Source: ESPN.com - Ben Goessling
Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings OT Jake Long (Achilles') suffered an Achilles' injury in the Week 10 game against the Washington Redskins, head coach Mike Zimmer said Sunday, Nov. 13. Long was on crutches after the game, and wasn't putting weight on his left foot.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Vikings offensive line is beyond thin, so this won't help. Next week brings Chandler Jones and the Arizona Cardinals.

CHI - RB Jordan Howard battled tightness

Source: Chicago Sun-Times - Adam L. Jahns

Chicago Bears RB Jordan Howard (ankle, Achilles') suffered what he said was 'tightness' in his ankle or Achilles' area late in the Week 10 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He said Sunday, Nov. 13, that he was OK.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

We'll watch the practice reports this week heading into a matchup with the Giants. The poor state of the Bears passing game will limit his upside, so if Howard is a game-time decision next week, we might leave him on our benches.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Ivory ran nine times for 31 yards and caught two passes for 10 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Ivory was set up for a big game with a good matchup and a hot Week 9, but he split equally with TJ Yeldon and Blake Bortles' early pick six made it hard for the Jaguars to get in a groove with the run. Ivory is back to being end of the bench fodder after a glimmer of hope last week.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Snead did his work in the red zone and had the rare good wide receiver fantasy game against Denver. This coming Thursday against the Panthers corners is a must-play matchup in leagues where you start at least three wide receivers.

Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins caught five passes for 48 yards and did not score in a Week 10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This is what Hopkins will be this year. Brock Osweiler isn't cutting it and the Texans are trying to minimize his impact on games. He could have an up game next week if the Texans are forced to play catchup at Oakland, but Hopkins is just a WR3/Flex right now.

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles threw a pick six in the first quarter and lost a fumble against the Houston Texans in Week 10. He settled down to throw two touchdowns and 265 yards on 32-for-49 passing.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Bortles was able to make a good fantasy line with a lot of catchup football in the second half, which is par for the course. Next week he gets another matchup that could equal a second half deficit against the suddenly tied for first place Lions.

The good news is that Martin didn't get hurt. He was able to get a garbage time score to reward anyone who started him. Next week against Kansas City is not an easy matchup, but Martin should get RB2 consideration as long as he has a good practice week.

Winston pulled a Houdini on one extended play and then followed with a long score to put a cherry on his fantasy day. He didn't do it on the shoulders of Mike Evans, as Cameron Brate was the leading receiver, but Winston is still a low ceiling streaming selection this week with a trip to Arrowhead on tap.

Cam Newton's goal line role resumed and he looked good doing it, so Stewart has plummeted back down our RB2 ranks. He still should get some consideration as an RB2 or flex in a good matchup with New Orleans on Thursday.

Ware didn't do much, but he still looked strong, and he can't be blamed for the game script that forced the Chiefs to abandon the run. He should still be considered a solid RB2 at worst heading into a matchup with the Bucs.

Now that the Vikings running game has dried up, Diggs should be a target and catch leader week in, week out. He'll have a tough matchup against the Cardinals next week, but Diggs has re-earned every week starter status in PPR leagues, and maybe even in nonPPR.

Gurley had a game script to give him 20+ carries and that's about the only good news today. The Jets run defense was as stiff as ever, and the Rams didn't even give Gurley a touch in a goal-to-go sequence inside the five. He was also less involved in the passing game.

Bradford had another highly efficient and solid fantasy game that did not lead to a win for his Vikings team. He had one terrible pick in the fourth quarter and wasn't given any help by the running game. Next week, the tough Cardinals defense comes to town, which means that Bradford won't be a top streaming option.
