Aug 24, 2009

Cardinals First round pick RB "Beanie" Chris Wells took more snaps in practice Monday than he has since suffering a sprained ankle on Aug. 1. Wells looked smooth at top speed and didn't seem to have a problem cutting. Barring a setback, he should play Friday against Green Bay.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol.

Related players: Davis Mills

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Stroud's chances of being cleared in time to play this week are hampered by the fact that Houston will be hosting the Bills on Thursday night. Mills has quarterbacked the Texans to two straight wins, the story pointed out, and it looks like he'll get another start in Week 12.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs knee said to be structurally sound

Packers standout RB Josh Jacobs’ knee is structurally sound.

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for the Packers and Jacobs' fantasy owners. Rapoport went on to say Jacobs is considered day to day, and that tag gives him a shot to suit up in Week 12. But, Rapoport added in his post Jacobs could end up missing Week 12's game against the Vikings. The good news is no surgery is needed. We'll keep an eye on the injury report this week, but the Vikings-Packers game is an early Sunday game which should give owners time to adjust lineups if he's a game-time call. Wilson should get a bulk of the workload if Jacobs can't play. Brooks has seen limited time this season while Lloyd has been questionable to play that past three weeks with a hamstring injury, but has yet to play and see a snap this season.

Jets going with Tyrod Taylor at QB

The Jets are making a quarterback change, benching Justin Fields in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

New York faces Baltimore in Week 12 and ranks last in the league in passing yards per game, after Fields again struggled in Week 11. The Jets have seemed tempted to make this change since before their bye week, and finally pull the trigger. Taylor should at least give some passing consistency to the offense vs. Fields, but he won't have his top target in Wilson to work with. Fantasy owners should at least keep an eye on guys like Metchie, Williams and Mitchell, who are all younger WRs who could emerge with fantasy value with Taylor under center. Rookie TE Mason Taylor could also see more quality targets.
