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.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that RB Darrell Henderson will start and lead the team in carries. Sony Michel may see more snaps but McVay wants to "get him (Henderson) into the flow of the game after he had few opportunities in the first half of the season opener."

Fantasy Impact:

No surprise that Henderson will lead the team in carries as they decide how to proceed with him and Michel going forward. A strong performance Week 2 will keep Henderson in the driver's seat for at least one more week.

Lions RBs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (chest) were limited Friday according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Neither is considered an issue ahead of Monday's game against Green Bay.

Fantasy Impact:

The only way to feel good about either popping up on the injury report is if they're set to play Monday without an injury designation.

Jets WRs Keelan Cole (knee) and Jamison Crowder (COVID) are questionable for Week 2 according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

If one or both miss, look for Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims to start opposite Corey Davis like Week 1.
