Ravens Beat: Expectation is WR Dez Bryant's snaps increase

Nov 10, 2020

The expectation is Dez Bryant’s snaps will increase at some point. The Ravens don’t sign someone with the pedigree of Bryant to put him out on the field for a handful of plays.

It's a good sign Bryant suited up after six practices, which indicates the team is pleased with how he's getting in football shape and learning the offense. Last week, Lamar Jackson praised Bryant's route-running and strong hands.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say Baltimore isn’t getting much from its wide receivers, who rank last in the NFL in receiving yards (991) and have totaled the third-fewest touchdown catches (four). Miles Boykin, who provides the most size at wide receiver outside of Bryant, has watched his snaps decrease from 40 per game to a season-low 22 on Sunday. If the Ravens continue to decrease Boykin's role, it wouldn't come as a shock to see Bryant's presence in the offense increase.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

Adam Schefter

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
