Chargers to rest several players

Jan 02, 2010

Billy Volek is expected to get his most extensive playing time in two years when the red-hot San Diego Chargers host the Washington Redskins in a meaningless regular-season finale Sunday.

The AFC West champion Chargers (12-3), who have won 10 straight games, have nothing to gain except to avoid any more injuries. They've already clinched the AFC's No. 2 playoff seed and a first-round bye.

Coach Norv Turner said Rivers will start and then make way for Volek at some point.

"I want to see Billy get some good opportunities," Turner said.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said TE David Njoku's knee injury is different than the one he missed practice time with last week.

Related players: Harrison Bryant

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet went on to say Njoku will work through it this week, and the team was not ruling him out for Sunday vs. Texans. Even if he plays, owners should keep in mind he's dealing with two knee injuries and an ankle injury, so it may not be fair to expect a lot of fantasy production. Owners were likely excited about the prospects of working with QB Deshaun Watson, but those hoping to play him in lineups may want to have a backup plan.

Zac Taylor said Joe Mixon (concussion protocol) will be at practice today. Good sign for Mixon.

Related players: Samaje Perine, Trayveon Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon looks to be back on track to play in Week 13. The Bengals play a later Sunday game at home against the Chiefs, so continue to monitor Mixon's practice status. Given how Perine performed with Mixon out, you may want to keep him around if you can afford the roster spot.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) cleared to play Week 13

Steelers’ RB Jaylen Warren told reporters that doctors have cleared him to return from his hamstring injury and he expects to be able to play Sunday vs. the Falcons.

Related players: Najee Harris, Benny Snell Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

We're another step closer to figuring out the Steelers RB situation for Week 13 against the Falcons. One would expect Warren to get a decent chunk of the workload if Harris doesn't play due to an abdomen issue. Snell would likely factor in as well. If Harris plays, he and Warren should eat up a majority of the work. Continue to monitor the situation.
