Steelers TE Vance McDonald in a sling

Sep 24, 2019

Vance McDonald’s (shoulder) arm in a sling today at Steelers facility.

Fantasy Impact:

This comes from our very own Dale Lolley who covers the Steelers. McDonald owners will need to have a backup plan because Pittsburgh plays on Monday night against the Bengals. It may be better to go another direction at TE for Week 4.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving, WR Mike Evans miss second straight practice

Today’s Bucs-Raiders injury report…Mike Evans and Bucky Irving still not practicing. Talked to Evans today though and he said, “I’m feeling good. Played close to 70 plays the last game. Felt…really good shape. I’m getting very close.”

Fantasy Impact:

We don't need to panic quite yet, but we're coming up against it if Evans and Irving don't practice on Friday. While the WR2s aren't particularly interesting, Rachaad White would be an easy click in Week 14 if Irving misses the game.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs off injury report ahead of TNF

These Packers are off the injury report and expected to play Thursday night: RB Josh Jacobs (calf), DL Kenny Clark (rest), TE John FitzPatrick (back), OL Elgton Jenkins (knee), C Josh Myers(pectoral), tackle Rasheed Walker (knee) and DL Colby Wooden(shoulder).

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson, Chris Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

The Packers are content to run the peak-years Josh Jacobs into the ground, and we should do the same in our Fake Football lineups. With 20-25 opportunities in the mix on any given week, there's no reason to consider Jacobs anything but an RB1.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith listed as full practice participant

The Eagles listed WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) as a full participant on today's estimated injury report.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Britain Covey

Fantasy Impact:

Fantastic news for the Eagles, who decided to simply lean on Saquon Barkley with their WR2 void in Week 13. This should hopefully add lump humph to Jalen Hurts' menial passing totals, with Smith considered a fringe WR2/3 in Week 14.
