K.J. Hamler (hamstring) will be sidelined a couple of weeks

Aug 20, 2020

According to Jeff Legwold on Twitter, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver KJ Hamler suffered a hamstring injury In Thursday’s practice that will keep him on the shelf for a couple of weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Explosive rookie K.J. Hamler will miss valuable time that he could have used to help convince the coaching staff to shift towards more of a three wide, pass oriented attack. Firmly behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, Hamler should find his way to meaningful snaps at some point of this season. He will of course be the true definition of a boom-or-bust option, as he will likely spend half of his snaps functioning as a low volume, low efficiency home run threat. Our number 85 overall wide receiver for the 2020 season, K.J. Hamler remains an interesting late round flier.

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.
