49ers QB Jimmy Garopplo has high ankle sprain

Sep 20, 2020

Jimmy Garoppolo picked up a high right ankle sprain during Sunday's 31-13 road win against the Jets, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Related players: Nick Mullens

Fantasy Impact:

In the aftermath of the game, coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers won't make a decision on Garoppolo's status for next Sunday's game versus the Giants until the end of the week, the story said. As the story also added, high-ankle sprains typically require missed time, so Mullens may be poised for his first start since the 2018 campaign.

Chiefs rule out Kenneth Walker for Week 10

Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker will miss Sunday’s game against the Falcons with a groin injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker suffered a minor groin injury in practice Thursday and did not practice Friday. The Chiefs will play it safe with their star running back, who should be good to return for Week 11 against the Cardinals. Rookie Emmett Johnson, who was already starting to see more work, now becomes a very viable option against one of the worst run defenses in the league in Atlanta.

Chris Bell got hit in same knee that was surgically repaired. Hafley: "but [it has] nothing to do with his surgery. Nothing long-term. He's doubtful. We will see if he can go Sunday."

Fantasy Impact:

Managers should plan to leave Bell on the bench. His absence would give Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington more opportunities, making both possible PPR FLEX options in deeper leagues. Greg Dulcich remains a TE2 streamer.

Titans rule Carnell Tate out for Week 10

Ruled OUT for Titans on Sunday vs Jaguars:

Carnell Tate
Anthony Hill
Cody Barton
Peter Skoronski
Tommy Townsend

Fantasy Impact:

Wan'Dale Robinson becomes a more appealing PPR FLEX option with additional targets available. Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike have opportunities to take on larger roles, but both remain deep-league plays rather than automatic replacements for Tate. Gunnar Helm is a TE2 option for managers short on alternatives.
