Could Bills WR Evans see more work?

Sep 23, 2010

Lee Evans has been the one constant on the Bills’ offense since 2004, playing in every game of his seven-year career, starting all but seven of them.

It would be difficult to blame Evans for any frustration he might have with the ever-changing landscape of the Bills’ offense, having caught touchdowns from seven different passers in his career, but Evans said he has confidence in the team’s most recent quarterback change, with Ryan Fitzpatrick taking over for Trent Edwards Sunday at New England.

“With Fitz or Trent, you know both of those quarterbacks are going to compete hard and do all they can to win,” Evans said. “Fitz just has that different demeanor about him than Trent does. I think we have a very good rapport. We know who each other are and it’s just about making plays and having the opportunity to make plays.”

Evans – who caught four of his seven touchdowns and 341 of his 612 yards from Fitzpatrick last year – said Fitzpatrick is not afraid to take risks; fitting throws in to tight coverage and changing plays at the line, which he did last year on a franchise-record 98-yard touchdown pass to Terrell Owens in Jacksonville.

Fantasy Impact:

It could be good news for Evans owners, but we'll have to see some production first before throwing him in your lineup. There's always a need for WR and if he's on your waiver wire, keep him in mind.

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.
