Greg Jennings not opposed to shutting it down

Oct 02, 2012

If nothing else, the Packers and wide receiver Greg Jennings appear to be on the same page in regards to the nagging groin injury that’s hampered the Pro Bowl wide receiver early this season.

On Monday, both McCarthy and Jennings admitted they’ve given consideration to shutting down the wide receiver until his injury fully heals after initially becoming an issue during the regular-season opener against San Francisco on Sept. 9.

Jennings, who has yet to visit a doctor this week, said he always expects to play, but added he’d consider sitting out after suffering two setbacks with the ailment, including after his 9-yard touchdown catch during Sunday’s 28-27 win over New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact:

The move makes sense for the long haul after again injuring his groin. James Jones could get the start with Jordy Nelson, and, Randall Cobb would likely get more looks as well. Jones will make for a potentially great pickup this week as the Packers take on the Colts.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

Adam Schefter

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
