Patriots to sign RB Kenjon Barner

Sep 11, 2018

The New England Patriots may have found their new punt returner.

According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, the Patriots are expected to sign veteran running back Kenjon Barner, who previously worked out for the team. Barner would fill the team's last remaining roster spot after wide receivers Corey Coleman and Bennie Fowler were reportedly added Monday. The Boston Herald's Karen Guregian later confirmed the news.

Fantasy Impact:

Barner, 28, spent the last four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as a depth running back and punt returner. He signed with the Carolina Panthers earlier in the offseason before getting waived at the roster cut deadline.

Rams WR Van Jefferson (shoulder) was limited Friday after practicing in full Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Not a great sign for Jefferson, but maybe he had time spent with the trainers that limited his practice instead of a setback.

Cardinals RB James Conner (heel) did not practice Friday, while RB Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) and WR Rondale Moore (ankle) were limited.

Fantasy Impact:

A second DNP is bad news for Conner, especially with Edmonds ailing as well.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters Friday that RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) will not play Super Wild Card Sunday against the Steelers. Reid expects RB Darrel Williams (toe) and Tyreek Hill (heel) to play.

Fantasy Impact:

Once CEH could not give it a go Wednesday at practice, his fate appeared sealed. Look for a mixture of the three Chiefs backs Sunday against an okay Steelers rush defense.
