Redskins Beat: RB Derrius Guice showing signs

Dec 02, 2019

In three games since returning from IR, Derrius Guice has showed some signs: He scored on a 45-yard screen pass against the Jets two weeks ago; he'd drive through defenders at other times, even if only for gains of six or seven yards.

Fantasy Impact:

Guice rushed 10 times for 129 and two TDs this past week, perhaps a sign of things to come for the Redskins to can add QB Dwayne Haskins and WR Terry McLaurin to the mix of young, talented offensive players. The goal for the team now is to entice a new coach and excite the fan base, the story added.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield's shoulder 'popped in and out'

Pro Football Talk

31 minutes ago

“Obviously, not an ideal situation,” Baker Mayfield said, via Cleveland.com. “Trying to force him back inside. I think he realized it was me standing right there so he put his head down and ran right after me. It kind of popped in and out, but I will be good. Nothing too serious.”

Fantasy Impact:

Mayfield tried to make a tackle after being intercepted by Texans safety Justin Reid and went to the locker room with members of the training staff after the play to have his left shoulder evaluated. Mayfield wasn’t inside for long and returned to the sideline in time to take the field for the next offensive series. Mayfield should be good to go for Week 3, but it's certainly worth monitoring.

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook has 'a little ankle sprain'

Running back Dalvin Cook eventually made an early exit in the Vikings' 34-33 loss to the Cardinals due to a sprained right ankle suffered when Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt tackled him low in the fourth quarter.

"He just got a little ankle sprain," coach Mike Zimmer said.

Related players: Alexander Mattison

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say: Cook, who finished with 148 yards from scrimmage, popped up and walked gingerly toward the sideline before dropping to the turf. Vikings trainers helped him to the sideline, where his right ankle was taped up. Cook returned, taking two more handoffs, but his movements were labored, and he was eventually replaced by Mattison on the final drive. It sounds like Cook has a chance to be OK as we head into Week 3. Mattison is worth picking up as a handcuff, however, if he's still on your wire.

49er RBs dealing with injuries

49ers' RB attrition is wild. Jeff Wilson, Raheem Mostert, Trey Sermon, Elijah Mitchell, JaMycal Hasty all now hurt. TBD on the Week 3 status of the final three.

What does SF do this week? Depends on health developments, but seems there's a good chance they start with a Kerryon Johnson practice squad call-up.

Fantasy Impact:

Sermon, Mitchell and Hasty were all injured in Week 2. Sermon appeared to be dealing with a head injury which could cost him time depending on protocols. Mitchell is dealing with a shoulder injury but the hope is he avoided something major. Meanwhile, Hasty is dealing with an ankle injury. It will be a situation to watch as the week goes on leading to Week 3. One problem for owners is the 9ers play on Sunday night against the Packers, so any game-time decisions will cause a need for backup plans.
