Report: Titans RB DeMarco Murray has MCL tear

Dec 26, 2017

MRI revealed that Titans’ RB DeMarco Murray has a 3rd degree MCL tear, per source. Murray believes he can play through it Sunday.

Related players: Derrick Henry

Fantasy Impact:

We had an earlier story today that said the Titans feel Murray could have limited action in Week 17, a must-win to make the playoffs. But, at this point, it seems the Titans would be better off giving Henry the workload. Keep an eye on this situation as we get closer to Sunday.

Bears RB David Montgomery returns to practice

Bears’ RB David Montgomery was upgraded today to limited practice after not practicing Wednesday due to his ankle injury.

Related Players: Khalil Herbert

Fantasy Impact:

It's certainly not time to cut ties with Khalil Herbert quite yet, as Montgomery isn't a full-go for Sunday. Herbert has been incredibly efficient when given opportunities, averaging 6.1 yards per carry and 7.4 yards per reception when on the field. It's not farfetched to assume that Herbert has earned a role in the offense even if/when Montgomery returns to the lineup.

Colts elevate RB Phillip Lindsay from the practice squad

Former Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay will be active for tonight's game in Denver, presumably operating in a backup role.

Related Players: Nyheim Hines, Deon Jackson

Fantasy Impact:

There's no reason to assume that Hines wouldn't be the first person in the rotation, but Lindsay will be sure to get a fair share of touches. This doesn't make him viable in typical redraft leagues, but could be a play for TNF Showdown slates.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts misses second straight practice

Per Michael, there was no Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) at the open-to-the-media portion of practice for the second straight day.

Related Players: Parker Heese, Anthony Firkser

Fantasy Impact:

Though Kye Pitts is a unique brand of athlete on the field, at least some of his usage would presumably fall to the tight ends behind him. None of which will operate out of the slot or out wide, but could be usable as a TE punt in DFS, namely, former Titans TE Anthony Firkser. For the sake of the Atlanta Falcons puttering pass game, let's just hope this is a minor setback.
