Chargers WR Mike Williams (shoulder) could miss start of season

Aug 25, 2020

Anthony Lynn said Mike Williams will be "out for a while" with his shoulder injury. Doesn't know if he will be ready for the start of the season.

Related players: Darius Jennings, K.J. Hill, Joe Reed

Fantasy Impact:

It's a big blow to the Chargers offense, potentially losing their W2. Reported timelines are saying 2-4 weeks. The good news is the Chargers had some guys stepping up at WR recently that we highlighted in the news this week - mainly Jennings, Hill and Reed. Although not a speedster, Hill seemed to have the edge for the WR3 spot before Williams injury.

Eagles RB D'Andre Swift and TE Dallas Goedert on track for a fully healthy Week 14

Eagles’ RB D’Andre Swift was not listed on today’s injury report, and TE Dallas Goedert was a full participant at today’s practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Swift coming off the injury report so early in the week should point towards his typical role within the explosive offense.

Goedert looks to see in-game action for the first time since Week 9, and it comes against a huge divisional game against the Dallas Cowboys. His target share will always be somewhat capped with DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown on the field, but he has notched two huge games for a struggling fantasy position: 8-117-1 in Week 5 and 5-77-1 in Week 7.

Steelers RB Najee Harris misses second consecutive practice, questionable for TNF

Steelers RB Najee Harris (knee) didn't practice for a second consecutive day and is officially listed as questionable for Thursday night vs. the Patriots, who ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson.

Related Players: Jaylen Warren, Godwin Igwebuike, Anthony McFarland

Fantasy Impact:

Jaylen Warren would be in for a full bellcow workload if Harris were to miss, though the Patriots' run defense has been stout, even with teams sticking to the ground against them. New England ranks third in rushing yards allowed and first in yards per carry (3.2). Regardless, Warren should maintain plenty of passing work to make him a solid RB2 without Najee Harris.

Patriots will be without RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WRs Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte for TNF

Patriots ruled out for Thursday night's game vs. the Steelers: RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Demario Douglas, WR Kayshon Boutte and OL Riley Reiff.

Fantasy Impact:

Phew. An offense that needs all the help/luck they can get is dug even deeper with the absence of some key pieces. Ezekiel Elliott should get a huge percentage of the running back work, but even that is likely to keep him in the low RB2 considerations.

Starting any Patriots wide receivers should be a stay-away at this point, though Hunter Henry can be considered a de facto TE streamer with the team rolling out an extreme lack of consistent options.
