Gruden: 'Rob Kelley is our first string running back.'

Nov 10, 2016

"Rob Kelley is our first string running back." - Jay Gruden

Fantasy Impact:

This confirms Gruden's comments earlier in the week. Kelley will handle the “bulk” of the team’s early down carries, which means we can probably assume that he’ll get most of Matt Jones’s workload (an average of 16.1 touches through the first six games).

Rams RB Cam Akers is out Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

It is best for Akers to be fully healthy before coming back, especially if he wants to compete for touches with Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson. It is a disappointing start to Akers' rookie season to say the least.

Saints WR Michael Thomas is out Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprise with Thomas being out. Emmanuel Sanders, Tre'Quan Smith, and Jared Cook will lead the Saints passing attack.

Braxton Berrios (hamstring) questionable for Sunday

Jets WR Braxton Berrios is questionable to play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.

Fantasy Impact:

Wayne Chrebet is going to have to suit up for the Jets at this point. Berrios managed double-digit targets starting last week. Even if he plays, he is not a starting-caliber player in fantasy.
