Jaguars QB Blake Bortles has 'trust' in 'Mr. Reliable' Allen Hurns

Aug 07, 2015

The time Jaguars receiver Allen Hurns and quarterback Blake Bortles put in during the offseason is showing up in camp. Hurns made two difficult catches on passes thrown into tight coverage from Bortles.

"He's awesome, he was our Mr. Reliable last year," Bortles said. "Obviously, the time we got to spend together in the offseason out in California and then here all of July, it's been really good. That's something that's continuing to grow and he's only getting better."

Hurns said he knows Bortles will throw him the ball even if he's covered.

"You can see the chemistry," Hurns said. "If we have a tight window, he's having that trust in me that I'm going to make the play. I have trust in him that he'll throw me a good ball."

Fantasy Impact:

Hurns reportedly has a lead on Marqise Lee to be the team's WR2 heading into camp. He led the team in receiving yards (677) and touchdowns (6) as an undrafted rookie. If he plays starter's snaps he's likely to be fantasy relevant this season. He's particularly useful in best ball formats where owners can be sure that his big games will be counted.

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.
