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.

Joe Mixon went full today, which means he's out of concussion protocol.

Related players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

Beat reporter Paul Dehner Jr. tweeted that while HC Zac Taylor said many great things about what Perine has done, especially when Mixon was out, he also added "Mixon is our starting running back, he had five touchdowns the last time he played.” Owners should be able to conclude that Mixon will have his normal workload for Week 14, but it's easy to imagine Perine getting a few more touches, perhaps especially in the passing game. Overall, it looks like Mixon is going to be the better fantasy play here.

RB Michael Carter, who sat out last week with a sprained ankle, doesn’t even appear on the injury report.

Related players: Zonovan Knight

Fantasy Impact:

We reported Tuesday day the thinking is rookie Knight will still have a big role in the offense even with Carter back on the field. Obviously Carter looks like he's good to go in Week 14, but it will remain to be seen what kind of workload split there will be. Given Knight's production over the last two weeks, he looks to be trending in the right direction for fantasy owners.

'Not looking good' for Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (hamstring) in Week 14

On WR Courtland Sutton’s hamstring injury Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said today “it’s not looking good right now” for Sutton to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

Related players: Jerry Jeudy, Greg Dulcich

Fantasy Impact:

Jeudy should serve as the team's top WR target, but obviously he's not an attractive play given the struggles of the Broncos offense this season. Dulcich could also get a bump in targets and, as we reported Tuesday, he's been working more as a WR as of late.
