Cowboys Beat: Jason Witten not near retiring

Jul 11, 2016

I’ll believe Jason Witten’s done when he says so. He’s got three years left on his contract with the Cowboys, and I expect him to play all three of them.

Once he gets to that point, maybe it’ll be time to have a conversation about his future. And I’m sure the front office will continue to try to address the position in the draft. But in the short-term, I don’t think it’s something anyone in the building is worried about.

Fantasy Impact:

Witten has finished in the top-10 in PPR formats the last 12 years and has averaged .44 TD per game with Tony Romo. As long as Witten's age doesn't get the best of him, he should continue to be a productive target for a healthy Romo. This season, Witten comes in ranked 15th among our TEs and could present nice value later in drafts if you want to draft more than one at the position.

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.
