Kolby Smith heading to IR?

Dec 05, 2009

Running back Kolby Smith, who missed part of last season because of a knee injury, could be in danger of cutting another season short. Chiefs coach Todd Haley acknowledged Friday that the ankle injury Smith suffered two weeks ago could land him on injured reserve.

“We’re having further evaluation,” Haley said. “We’ll see.”

Jeudy’s designation allows him to return within the next 21 days with Week 7 or 8 looking like the most likely return date. John Brown will look to fill in the role of K.J. Hamler who was lost for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Neither of these news items hold too much fantasy impact in the near term but owners should prepare for the return of Jeudy who was working as the Bronco’s WR1 before his injury.

Hamstring injuries by nature tend to linger so the Titans are planning to limit Brown’s usage through the middle of the season. This report is directly from the mouth of Brown so take it for what it is. Facing the Bills this week could push for more pass volume out of this Tennessee offense.

Fantasy Impact:

In Week 5 Brown ran a route on 92 percent of Ryan Tannehill's 26 drop backs which suggests this may not limit his fantasy output. Tennessee has worked to establish the run ever since their Week 1 debacle which has lead to Brown

Initially held off IR following his Week 3 injury this is a surprising and devastating hit to the Panthers. Matt Rhule recently argued that CMC hadn't faced any setbacks and was expected back Week 7 but with this move won’t be eligible until Week 9 at the earliest.

Fantasy Impact:

Chubba Hubbard will continue handling workload and may see an expanded role as the rookie had his best performance against Pittsburgh last week seeing 29 touches for 134 all-purpose yards.
