Cincinnati Could Sit TE Jermaine Gresham

Dec 11, 2010

Cincinnati Bengals rookie tight end Jermaine Gresham is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Gresham has not practiced all week. He has been in Oklahoma since his grandmother died on Monday.

Asked if Gresham would play, coach Marvin Lewis said, "We'll see."

Usually when Lewis utters that, it isn't encouraging.

Tight end against the Steelers is vital in terms of pass protection. If Gresham is unable to play, Reggie Kelly and Chase Coffman will see extended action.

Fantasy Impact:

Gresham's current ranking is at the level of a number two tight end, so he probably isn't in a lot of lineups at the moment. It might be time to take him out if you still have him in there. Kelly and Coffman aren't fantasy options.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

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.
