Chargers believe RBs Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler and WR Keenan Allen play Week 16

Dec 17, 2018

Chargers believe there’s a legitimate chance that three key injured players - WR Keenan Allen (hip), RBs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (neck) - all will be ready for Saturday night’s game.

Related players: Justin Jackson

Fantasy Impact:

The bad news would be for Jackson owners, who saw the rookie play well against the Chiefs last week. Jackson could be back to an RB3 role with Gordon likely assuming most of the workload again. It's a tough matchup against the Ravens in Week 16, however.

Ben Roethlisberger will indeed be back as the #Steelers starting QB this fall. Just connected w/ the two-time Super Bowl winner’s agent, Ryan Tollner, who said this:

"They want Ben back and will contact me soon to address his cap situation"

Fantasy Impact:

It appears Ben Roethlisberger will remain a Pittsburgh Steeler for an 18th season. The 38-year old is currently ranked QB27 in 4for4's never-too-early rankings.

Chris Godwin wants to remain in Tampa, but also get paid

#Bucs WR Chris Godwin on @PatMcAfeeShow just now: "I want to be in Tampa. But at the end of the day, I want to get paid too.”

Godwin said he wants a long term deal, but if he’s tagged he’s fine with it and will work for a long term deal next year.

Fantasy Impact:

It appears free agent wideout Chris Godwin won't be playing for a hometown discount in 2021. Head coach Bruce Arians has been vocal about wanting to keep Godwin in a Bucs uniform, so it will be interesting to see if they franchise him or let the 24-year old explore other offers.

From NFL Now: It's looking more likely that #Raiders starting QB Derek Carr is back for 2021, while backup QB Marcus Mariota is not. He's been the subject of trade calls.

Fantasy Impact:

Derek Carr is currently 4for4's QB17 in John Paulsen's 'never too early rankings'. Six-year veteran Marcus Mariota has garnered some interest from various teams across the league and could find himself a third NFL home in the coming weeks.
