Lions: Stafford 'no more than day-to-day'

Oct 24, 2011

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Lions QB Matt Stafford is in a walking boot with a sprained ankle. We’re told that, as of now, the thinking is that it’s slightly better than the dreaded high ankle sprain.

Stafford will be getting a second opinion later in the week, which suggests that there’s something about the first opinion that Stafford may not have liked. At this point, it’s unknown whether he’ll miss any time.

Officially, coach Jim Schwartz told the media on Monday that Stafford is “no more than day-to-day” with that ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for Stafford owners. He appears to be on target to play this week, with a bye the following week. We'll be sure to keep an eye on Stafford's progress as the week goes on.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

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.
