Look for Mendenhall and Big Ben

Dec 06, 2009

Oakland at Pittsburgh: The Steelers figure to stay with Rashard Mendenhall, considering the Raiders are allowing 4.6 yards per carry and over 30 points a game in their past four road games. Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger will return, and look for him to attack the middle of the Oakland secondary.

Bills WR John Brown (groin) limited again

John Brown saw limited participation in practice Thursday due to a groin injury.

Fantasy Impact:

John Brown has been limited for the first two practices of the week coming off a bye. Groin injuries are easy to reinjure, so this is something to keep an eye on. If Brown ultimately can't go, Cole Beasley, Duke Williams, Robert Foster and Dawson Knox would all likely get a bump in a great matchup with the tanking Dolphins.

David Johnson returned to practice on Thursday, giving him a good shot to suit up against the Giants on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

David Johnson's return to practice bodes well for his availability this week. The Giants defense has been above average against the run, but Johnson has been doing most of his damage through the air, where New York is weakest.

Report: Patrick Mahomes is dealing with a "legit" ankle injury

James Palmer on Twitter

NFL Network's James Palmer reports that Patrick Mahomes' ankle injury is probably worse than he's letting on and he considers a legitimate injury that has sapped his ability on the field.

Fantasy Impact:

There is no doubt that Mahomes is playing hurt but we still see amazing throws from him even on one good leg. The trouble this week is Mahomes has a quick turn around to play Thursday night and travels to Denver to play one of the hottest pass defenses in the league. If he's on the field, he's a start, but we likely need to temper expectations for Week 7.
