Mike Williams questionable for Sunday's game at Bengals

Sep 11, 2020

Chargers WR Mike Williams is questionable (shoulder) for Sunday's season opener at the Cincinnati Bengals, according to the team's Friday injury report.

Fantasy Impact:

The injury report also listed tackle Bryan Bulaga and guard Trai Turner as questionable. Williams was expected to miss time into the regular season and that is still a possibility. Even if Williams plays, his effectiveness will be in question.

Bucs WR Antonio Brown "ready to go" for Week 9

Buccaneers Head Coach Bruce Arians told reporters on Wednesday that newly-signed wide receiver Antonio Brown is already in meetings and "ready to go" for Week 9.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown's addition to the Tampa Bay receiver room is one of the bigger storylines of the fantasy season thus far. Brown's role, and his effect on Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and Rob Gronkowski, will have to be evaluated once we see Brown in a game, but it is safe to say the current Buccaneers pass-catchers are all at risk of losing some volume to the talented but troubled wideout. Brown has one more week left on his suspension but should be in the lineup catching passes from Tom Brady in less than two weeks when the Bucs take on the Saints.

Seahawks RB Carlos Hyde (hamstring) not dealing with major injury

Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Wednesday that running back Carlos Hyde's hamstring injury is "not major."

Fantasy Impact:

The update from Carroll is newsworthy because starter Chris Carson is poised to be a game-time decision this Sunday when the Seahawks host the 49ers. If Carson ends up sitting, Hyde is next in line to assume the early-down workload against San Francisco. The 49ers are a tough matchup for running backs, but Hyde would be a volume-based flex play if he gets the starting nod in Week 8.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (knee) sits out of practice Wednesday

Eagles starting running back Miles Sanders sat out of practice Wednesday due to his knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders missed last Thursday's game and reports at the time suggested he should only miss 1 or 2 games total. The missed practice on Wednesday and the fact that the Eagles have a bye in Week 9 suggest that the team could hold him out one more game to give him a full three weeks to get healthy. Boston Scott took over the majority of the backfield work with Sanders out and would be a RB2 against the putrid Dallas defense if Sanders has to sit again.
