Nagy: Tarik Cohen 'trying to be coachable'

Kevin Fishbain and Adam Jahns - The Athletic

Aug 21, 2020

Bears head coach Matt Nagy said RB Tarik Cohen is "really dedicated right now and trying to be coachable," according to Kevin Fishbain and Adam Jahns of The Athletic. “That’s what I think is really neat with where he’s at with Tarik. There were some things we saw last year that we thought he could do better. He’s hit that full steam ahead and there’s been some changes in whether it’s his angle in the run game or whether it’s a specific route we’re trying to teach him. So I’m really happy for the way he’s handled that.”

Fantasy Impact:

Cohen is entering the final year of his rookie contract, so if you are driving down 'Narrative Street,' take notice. Cohen has elite hands out of the backfield and sees the field like most returners would. 2019 was abysmal for Cohen, so a strong offseason could make 2019 the exception and not the rule.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

Adam Schefter

2 hours ago

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.

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.
