Raiders concerned about RB Marshawn Lynch's groin injury

Oct 16, 2018

Gruden says he is concerned about Marshawn Lynch’s groin strain. Could be long term. He is getting checked out this week.

Related players: Jalen Richard, Doug Martin

Fantasy Impact:

Reports say Gruden called the injury a strain. The Raiders do have bye this week so the hope is he can play Oct. 28 against the Colts. Richard and Martin could have a bigger role if Lynch can't go in Week 8.

Panthers elevate QB Bryce Young, don't announce him as Week 1 starter yet

The Carolina Panthers have elevated rookie Bryce Young to the No. 1 quarterback spot, a move coach Frank Reich said Thursday is "the next step" in the top pick of this year's draft, becoming the Week 1 starter.

Fantasy Impact:

These are all semantics at this point. The only thing we were worried about was Young coming in and having a terrible camp, and it doesn't look like he is trending in that direction. He should be drafted as the Panthers' QB1, which puts him on the radar in 2QB and SuperFlex leagues.

Rams sign WR Demarcus Robinson

Another weapon for the Rams: LA has agreed to terms with veteran WR Demarcus Robinson.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Ben Skowronek, Van Jefferson

Fantasy Impact:

Robinson was mostly buried on the Chiefs depth chart before having a mini breakout with the Ravens last year, catching 50 balls for 500 years. Given the Rams current wide receiver room, this is likely the best case scenario for Robinson. He makes for an interesting option as a last round dart throw, particularly if you have already have Matthew Stafford.

The Bears RB1 isn't automatically Khlalil Herbert

Though Khalil Herbert is taking first-team reps during OTAs, the competition for the RB1 with the Bears includes D'Onta Foreman, Travis Homer, and fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson.

Fantasy Impact:

In the article, running backs coach David Walker was quoted as saying, “No one has earned a seat in that room yet, and they’re all going to earn their seats from what we do now until August whatever, whenever that third preseason game is,” Walker said. “So that’s the good thing and they know it. That’s been communicated to them.”

This makes the presumed "backups" more intriguing in fantasy drafts, as they are basically free at the moment. Roschon Johnson is coming off the board as the RB46 in the 13th round, while D'Onta Foreman is the RB51, in the 14th.
