49ers Beat: Team surprised with RB Trey Sermon's pass-catching

Aug 09, 2021

The 49ers also have been pleasantly surprised by Trey Sermon’s route-running and pass-catching ability, which he got to display early in his college career at Oklahoma but not as much last season at Ohio State. He’s shown unexpected wiggle to shake free of the 49ers’ linebackers in one-on-one drills.

Fantasy Impact:

The story made an interesting point, saying Sermon has already won over position coach Bobby Turner. And something to keep in mind is it’s Turner, the most veteran member of Kyle Shanahan’s staff, who determines the running back pecking order and the workload for each tailback during a game. The story did say Sermon is currently the team's RB2 behind Mostert.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
