Lions TE Eric Ebron anxious to get back to field

Aug 29, 2016

For the past three weeks, Eric Ebron has watched from the sidelines. The Detroit Lions tight end hasn't practiced. He hasn't played in games. He has been doing some mentoring of younger tight ends, and that's about it.

All the while, he has had one thing in his head as he has watched the Lions play without him.

"I need to get my ass out there on that field," Ebron said Monday in his first comments since suffering an ankle injury Aug. 6. "'Cause I'm not a huge person that's [into] watching. I like action. I like to be in action. It just sucks being on the sideline, man. It's not my lifestyle. I wasn't born for this. I wasn't bred to do this but I got to right now."

Fantasy Impact:

Ebron said he and the Lions are taking things slowly as he recovers. That includes likely not playing in the preseason finale Thursday against the Buffalo Bills. He also deflected questions about whether he'll be a go Week 1. Brandon Pettigrew is still on the physically unable to perform list recovering from an ACL injury. Timothy Wright is on injured reserve with an ACL injury.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

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.
