Browns RB Harison questions role

Sep 30, 2010

Jerome Harrison, who returned to practice Wednesday limited with a thigh injury, said he was happy for Peyton Hillis' breakout game last week, but has no idea how it will affect his playing time if he's ready to go Sunday against the Bengals.

Asked if it might be hard for him to get carries after Hillis rushed for 144 yards in Baltimore, Harrison cracked, "What carries? It was a good game by him and it doesn't affect me at all."

Does he see his role changing with Hillis having the hot hand?

"I never knew what my role was, so I can't answer that question," he said. "I support [Hillis]. I'm happy for him He works hard, ran hard and looked good doing it."

But does he expect fewer reps even when fully healthy?

"I don't anticipate anything and I don't expect anything," he said. "We'll just see what happens."

Fantasy Impact:

Peyton Hillis looks like he's earned role of RB1 on Cleveland. So, if Harrison is active this week it's probably not a good idea to put him in your lineup, even in a flex spot, until we see how he's used.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo, Nick Bosa, and Dre Greenlaw active for Week 15

In Week 15, the red and gold have defensive lineman Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw active and ready for the team's second meeting with their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams.

On the other side of the ball, the 49ers will have rookie running back Isaac Guerendo available against the Rams. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday on account of a foot sprain but was given the green light to play ahead of "Thursday Night Football."

Fantasy Impact:

We do expect Guerendo to handle the majority workload for TNF, but you do have to wonder if he gets the same type of workload he would have, had he avoided the injury report all week. Consider him closer to an RB3 than a locked-in RB2 he otherwise would have been.
