Patriots RB Sony Michel back to practice

Aug 27, 2018

Progress on the injury front for the Patriots: Rookie RB Sony Michel makes his first appearance on the practice field since Aug. 1.

Related players: Rex Burkhead, James White

Fantasy Impact:

Michel looks like he should be on pace to play in Week 1, but of course RB roles in New England are not easy to predict. Michel will likely need to play some catch-up at this point and Burkhead looks like he'll be a safer play with White remaining the option on passing downs.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride was downgraded Saturday to questionable for Sunday’s game against the 49ers with an injury to his ribs.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram is “not tracking” to play Sunday against the Colts.

Fantasy Impact:

Engram continues to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered during pre-game warmup in Week 2. It will be another start for Brenton Strange, who has under 20 years in two of his three games started.

Packers suspend Romeo Doubs one game

The Packers suspended WR Romeo Doubs one game for conduct detrimental to the team.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs missed two practices this week after he was reportedly upset with his role in the offense. Doubs has 12 catches (on 20 targets) for 169 yards. Jaylen Reed has emerged as the WR1 in Green Bay. The Packers will also likely be without Christian Watson, who is doubtful with a high ankle sprain. Reed and Dontayvion Wicks, who are tied for the team lead with 22 targets each, will lead the charge against the Rams.
