Gruden: WR Josh Doctson 'very, very close' to return

Aug 30, 2016

Redskins rookie wide receiver Josh Doctson raised expectations for a return to practice by tweeting, “It’s finally go time!” on Monday evening. He even apologized to the team’s fans, writing “Sorry for the wait … ”

But there was no increase in the first-round wide receiver’s workload during the portion of Tuesday’s practice that was open to reporters at Redskins Park. Asked afterward what Doctson had meant by “Go time,” Coach Jay Gruden answered with a quip.

“Let’s ‘go’ back to the training room, for him,” Gruden said with a chuckle, adding that the rookie was “very, very close” to returning.

Fantasy Impact:

The Redskins placed Doctson on the Physically Unable to Perform List on July 28, after he’d been sidelined by an Achilles’ tendon strain suffered during spring practice. Gruden added he doesn't think Doctson has "full full-speed burst" yet but he's very, very close.

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.

— The Rams ruled out TE Tyler Higbee (knee) and Cobie Durant (chest).

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.
