Jarvis Landry clears concussion protocol, expected to play Monday

Oct 04, 2019

Browns WR Jarvis Landry cleared the concussion protocol Friday and returned to practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Landry looks like he is good to for Monday's big tilt with the 49ers in a battle of division leaders. With the team playing Monday, Cleveland will not have their final injury report until Saturday but the expectation now is that Landry will be back on the field. Watch for Saturday's injury report just to be sure but you can feel good about playing Landry again.

Bears trade Anthony Miller to Houston

The #Bears are trading WR Anthony Miller to the #Texans, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Long rumored to be dealt, the former second-round pick gets a fresh start.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a fresh start for Anthony Miller, but this trade also shows the that Bears are confident in Darnell Mooney. Miller will have to get by Randall Cobb for slot work though, so expectations shouldn't be too high for Miller's fantasy season in 2021.

I'm told free agent WR Dede Westbrook is planning to sign a 1-year deal with the #Vikings on Sunday, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Dede Westbrook suffered a torn ACL in Week 7 last season, ending his four-year stint in Jacksonville with a 160-1,720-9 line. He'll probably compete with Olabisi Johnson in training camp for their WR3 spot.

Michael Thomas to miss start of the season due to ankle surgery

Sources: #Saints star WR Michael Thomas is expected to miss the start of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery to repair the ligaments in his ankle in June. Based on the timing of the surgery – and recommended 4 months of recovery – Thomas could be on the sideline for weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s a brutal blow for Thomas and his owners. Projections currently assume eight missed games for Thomas, but we’ll update as more information comes in. Alvin Kamara has seen a big boost in usage when Thomas has missed in recent years. He has averaged 27.3 PPG (half-PPR) in the eight games that Thomas has missed compared to 15.5 PPG in the 21 games Thomas played. The loss of Drew Brees is a concern, but Kamara should be the focal point of the offense with Thomas sidelined. For now, Tre’Quan Smith, Adam Trautman and the other New Orleans receivers get a bump, but the Saints are a candidate to sign or trade for another receiver.
