Lions release RB Stevan Ridley

Aug 25, 2016

Stevan Ridley was a former 1,000-yard rusher who was expected to compete with Zach Zenner for the power running job in the Detroit Lions' backfield.

Even if he lost that battle, he was expected to make the team. He even got $250,000 of his contract guaranteed.

Instead, he didn't even make it to the first round of cuts.

The Lions informed Ridley on Thursday morning that he has been released.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bump for Zach Zenner, who figures to take over the "big back" role formerly occupied by Joique Bell. There has already been speculation that Ridley could land in New England.

'Not looking good' for Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (hamstring) in Week 14

On WR Courtland Sutton’s hamstring injury Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said today “it’s not looking good right now” for Sutton to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

Related players: Jerry Jeudy, Greg Dulcich

Fantasy Impact:

Jeudy should serve as the team's top WR target, but obviously he's not an attractive play given the struggles of the Broncos offense this season. Dulcich could also get a bump in targets and, as we reported Tuesday, he's been working more as a WR as of late.

Satins RB Mark Ingram (MCL) likely done for season

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Saints RB Mark Ingram suffered a slight tear of his MCL in the loss to the Bucs, sources say, knocking him out indefinitely and likely ending his season.

Related players: Alvin Kamara, David Johnson, Dwayne Washington

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport went on to say he’s out 4-6 weeks, but no surgery is needed. With the regular season only being five more weeks and the Saints likely not making it to the playoffs, Ingram almost certainly won't be rushed back to the lineup. No Ingram could mean more touches for Kamara, but again, with the playoffs pretty much out of reach, Johnson and Washington could also see some work.

There is concern Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence may not be able to play this week against the Titans.

Related players: C.J. Beathard

Fantasy Impact:

Lawrence won’t practice on Wednesday. Head coach Doug Pederson said in his press conference that Lawrence is considered day-to-day. Pederson later noted that Lawrence’s injury is a sprained toe on his left foot. While Pederson also said Lawrence’s is progressing in the right direction, the club has to be prepared to play on Sunday without him, the story went on to say.
