Giants RB Saquon Barkley had random back spasm

Oct 09, 2018

RB Saquon Barkley didn’t need any special treatment this week. Was just a random back spasm on second TD. Nothing more.

Fantasy Impact:

Barkley landed awkwardly after leaping toward the end zone for a TD. He was slow to get up, but despite all that is good for Thursday night's Week 6 matchup. Barkey didn't need an MRI.

Saints Beat: Team won't make QB change

The Athletic

Sean Payton won’t switch course from Taysom Hill after two wins in two starts. He still wants to see how Hill handles the job. And as stated earlier, the game plan shifted to ball control once Denver needed a practice squad wide receiver to play quarterback.

Related players: Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara

Fantasy Impact:

Payton said Hill played exactly how he wanted him too. Hill was only 9-for-16 for 78 yards through the air, but did have 10 carries, 44 yards and two touchdowns. And, Hill is 2-0 as the Saints starting quarterback. While Latavius Murray had a big day, the usual suspects like Thomas and Kamara had their fantasy production hurt by Hill, so those owning Saints may need to use some caution when figuring out lineups. But it also sounds like the Saints changed up their game plan knowing the struggles the Broncos would have at QB.

Bills Beat: WR Gabriel Davis flashes WR2 potential

In a game where the Bills struggled to move the ball through the air, rookie Gabriel Davis was one of the lone bright spots. His highlight-reel 44-yard reception showed that he can make difficult catches in contested situations and can be a dependable, field-stretching target for Josh Allen.

Fantasy Impact:

With Brown now on the IR, Davis has a chance to step up. The story also went on to say the Bills could save over $8 million by releasing Brown (who turns 31 in April) in the offseason, one that’s expected to be cap-strapped. The only reason they would do that is if they knew they had a solid X-receiver player to replace Brown, which is where Davis comes into play.

Bills RB Devin Singletary loses snaps to Zach Moss

First, Devin Singletary lost a fumble in the fourth quarter that nearly cost the Bills their hold on the game. And for the fourth straight game, Singletary received fewer snaps than Zach Moss did, but by the biggest margin yet. Moss out-snapped Singletary by 13 (38 to 25); of the 199 snaps in the three previous games, Moss had just 15 more snaps than Singletary’s total (108 to 93).

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, Moss entered the game for the last four snaps of the Bills’ final touchdown drive, stayed on the field for the ensuing drive and, once Singletary fumbled, took the majority of the reps the rest of the way. Moss was on the field for 18 of the Bills’ final 22 offensive snaps. Singletary lacks the true explosiveness to turn a running crease into a big gain, while Moss can power through contact and gain additional yards, the author went on to say.
