Johnny Knox a 'perfect fit' in Martz's offense

Aug 16, 2010

Suspicions are confirmed. Johnny Knox is the perfect fit in Mike Martz's offense. He easily was the best route runner on the field.

Dan LeFevour: Let's face it, LeFevour was awful. He almost got his receivers killed on several of his passes. He had some bad overthrows. He didn't respond well to blitzes.

But LeFevour should be blamed for none of it. What should we have expected given the fact that the rookie, who needs more practice reps than anyone, has been given hardly any reps going back to minicamp?

What's more, his receivers were dropping passes and his protection was shaky. And the Chargers were blitzing him as if it were the Super Bowl.

Fantasy Impact:

Knox is building momentum heading towards drafts. In a lot of mocks and PC Drafter, he was a nice late-round addition. But it appears at this point if you want to target him, you may need to go a round or two early as we continue to hear nothing but positives about him.

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 49ers ruled out LT Trent Williams (ankle) and S Malik Mustapha (chest), but RB Isaac Guerendo (foot) is questionable. So is Dre Greenlaw, who was full today.
— 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.
