49ers to sign speedy WR Marquise Goodwin

Mar 08, 2017

WR Marquise Goodwin is headed to the 49ers. Kyle Shanahan loves speed.

Fantasy Impact:

Goodwin is a burner (4.27 40-yard dash). He's built in the same mold as Taylor Gabriel, who thrived under new 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan last year in Atlanta.

Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith, K Wil Lutz designated to return

The Saints designated linebacker Kwon Alexander, defensive end Marcus Davenport, and wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith for return from injured reserve on Tuesday. They designated kicker Wil Lutz for return on Monday and all four players could be activated in time to play against the Seahawks on Monday.

Related players: Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harris

Fantasy Impact:

Smith could help a receiving group that really lacks a top target. Callaway and Harris have led the way and have improved since the start of the season, but Smith could give the group a boost until Michael Thomas returns in a couple of weeks. Lutz had been a great kicking option in New Orleans, however this year's offense hasn't nearly been as high-powered as in previous years. Still, Lutz could be at least a solid kicker option if you're in the market.

Ravens sign RB Le'Veon Bell to 53-man roster

The Ravens want to see more of Le’Veon Bell.

After Baltimore used his second of two available standard elevations for Sunday’s win over the Chargers, the team has signed Bell to the 53-man roster.

Related players: Devonta Freeman, Latavius Murray, Ty'Son Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Murray has been Baltimore’s lead back, but he was sidelined by an ankle injury in Sunday’s game. That could give Bell a larger role in the offense, especially if Murray can't go in Week 7. His injury isn't considered serious according to reports on Monday. Freeman also scored a touchdown in Week 6 as, strangely, the rookies Williams remains the odd man out of this veteran backfield.

Buccaneers Beat: TE Rob Gronkowski not at walkthrough

Pro Football Talk

The Buccaneers got the weekend off after beating the Eagles and returned to the facility on Tuesday for a walkthrough practice session.

Reporters at the session noted that tight end Rob Gronkowski was not in attendance.

Related players: O.J. Howard, Cameron Brate

Fantasy Impact:

Gronkowski has missed the last three games with injured ribs and has not taken part in any practices since being injured in the team’s Week 3 loss to the Rams. Howard has a huge game against the Eagles and if Gronk can't go in Week 7, he would certainly have to be considered a streaming option as it appears he's passed Brate in the team's TE pecking order.
