Jets WR Jermaine Kearse may miss opener

Aug 31, 2018

The Jets fear wide receiver Jermaine Kearse will miss the season opener against the Lions after undergoing a medical procedure on his injured abdomen.

Fantasy Impact:

Kearse is not expected to have a major role this season with Robby Anderson expected to be the No. 1 receiver, and the team adding Terrelle Pryor in the off-season. Anderson may see a few more looks in his absence.

49ers designate RB Tevin Coleman (knee) to return from IR

The 49ers designated running back Tevin Coleman to return from injured reserve Wednesday and believe he has a chance to play this week.

Fantasy Impact:

The team will see how Coleman does in practice before deciding whether he will play or not, but it sounds like there is a real chance he returns for a great matchup against Seattle in Week 8. Coleman's return would take some of the appeal out of JaMycal Hasty as a waiver wire flier, although Jeff Wilson Jr. suffered his own injury this past week and Raheem Mostert remains sidelined so Hasty should have a role against the Seahawks regardless of Coleman's status.

Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson entered the NFL's concussion protocol on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Robinson's entry into concussion protocol throws his Week 8 status into doubt as he will be in a race against time to get cleared for Sunday's game against the Saints. If Robinson misses Week 8, teammates Anthony Miller and Darnell Mooney would see a boost in usage at receiver. His absence would likely open up additional opportunities for tight ends Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet as well.

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (groin) back at practice

Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will return to practice Wednesday as he works his way back from the groin injury he suffered in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact:

Cook missed one game and then had a bye week to nurse his groin injury. Early reports indicate that Cook should be able to return for Week 8's matchup with the Packers so long as he doesn't have any setbacks during practice this week. Alexander Mattison flopped in Cook's absence in Week 6 but would retain a large role if Cook is forced to sit again.
