Raiders put K Janikowski on IR, promote Tavecchio

Sep 09, 2017

The #Raiders have promoted Giorgio Tavecchio to the active roster and placed Sebastian Janikowski (disc) on Injured Reserve. #Raiders have been fearful of Janikowski’s herniated disc for some time. He wasn’t right this week. Giorgio Tavecchio takes over for now.

Fantasy Impact:

Janikowski was among our top-12 kickers for Week 1. Make sure to get him out of your lineups if you were going to start him.

Baker Mayfield has labrum surgery, out 4-6 months

Browns QB Baker Mayfield underwent successful surgery on his torn labrum and will be out 4-6 months.

Fantasy Impact:

That timeline lines up with training camps starting, which could/could not be an issue for Mayfield if he takes the full expected amount of time to recover. Case Keenum should be kept as the Browns' backup QB.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) did not practice Wednesday, while RB Aaron Jones (knee) was a full participant.

Related Players: Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard

Fantasy Impact:

Valdes-Scantling has been in-and-out of the lineup and the extra time has not helped his back issues. His health is important because it is unlikely that Randall Cobb plays a large chunk of this weekend's divisional game after having core muscle surgery.

Tyreek Hill full participant Wednesday

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel) was a full participant Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Hill was not himself for parts of K.C.'s Super Wild Card win, so it is good to see him already a full participant.
