Team news: Seattle Seahawks | Page 9

No sign of RBs Joe Mixon or Dameon Pierce today. They haven’t practiced this week. Looking more and more like a Cam Akers week.

Related Players: Dare Ogunbowale

Akers took much of the role following Mixon's injury in Week 2, producing 39 total yards on eight opportunities. Ogunbowale will rotate in —particularly on third downs— but Akers should be fired up as a fringe RB2/3 for Week 3.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III missed practice for a second straight day. Looking like another Zach Charbonnet start could be on the way.

Related Players: Kenny McIntosh

McIntosh technically saw the field in Week 2 but came away with zero counting stats on only two snaps. This backfield is all Charbonnet's if Walker is out, and profiles as a fringe RB1 against Miami.

49ers TE George Kittle was not spotted at practice today and is experiencing tightness in his hamstring, per source. With no practice today, his status for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams is in question.

Related Players: Eric Saubert, Jake Tonges

This would be yet another blow to a 49ers offense that is reeling. Saubert doesn't need to be started in typical fantasy leagues, and Brock Purdy's fantasy outlook would also take another huge hit.

Rams star WR Cooper Kupp suffered a high-ankle sprain in LA’s loss on Sunday, and he’ll spend the next week or so in a cast helping the swelling calm down, sources said.

The team did not place him on Injured Reserve, as there is still a chance he’s ready within four weeks.

Related Players: Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington

A little bit of good news bad news here, as Kupp may not miss more than four games, but it still seems like it will be significant time. As it stands, Robinson is the most experienced option and will be the most likely option to lead the team in routes, with Johnson closely behind.

If you missed out on them through waiver runs and still want a piece of this offense, Whittington is the wild card, and should be targeted in deeper leagues.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Cooper Kupp and left guard Jonah Jackson are both set to miss extended time after suffering injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. Kupp hurt his ankle and Jackson aggravated a shoulder injury.

McVay also confirmed that safety John Johnson will miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury. He called all three players candidates for injured reserve.

With Nacua already on IR, the Rams offense is taking another hit with the loss of Kupp. Robinson and Johnson could take over as the team's top two, but those of you in the dynasty community may be high on Whittington, who has drawn comparisons to Nacua. Any of the three are worth picking up, and could get significant time over the next month at least.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Joe Mixon is getting an MRI on his ankle.

Related players: Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale, Cam Akers

Mixon was able to return to Sunday night’s game after hurting his ankle, but there’s enough concern about the injury for Mixon to go for tests on Monday, the story went on to say. While it was good news he was able to return, Mixon owners may want to backup their RB if they haven't already. Pierce was the team's RB1 before Mixon was signed and should be up next if Mixon would have to miss time. Ogunbowale is more of the pass-catching back. Akers had a nice preseason and looks to be healthy again and could factor in as well.

The Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III (oblique) as doubtful for Sunday vs. New England.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

If Walker doesn't end up suiting up, Charbonnet needs to be started everywhere. If he is somehow still on your waiver wire, drop what you're doing and go pick him up right now.

#Bears WRs Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze are questionable for the #Texans game.

Allen hasn't practiced all week. Odunze was limited today.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Tyler Scott, DeAndre Carter, Velus Jones

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. D.J. Moore is a must-start, even with Caleb Williams' poor Week 1 performance.

For the second straight day, Bears WRs Keenan Allen (heel) and Rome Odunze (knee) did not practice.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Tyler Scott, DeAndre Carter, Velus Jones

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. We'll keep an eye on this tomorrow for updates leading to Sunday.

Rams WR Puka Nacua aggravated his summer knee injury Sunday night vs. the Lions.

Related players: Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Whittington, Tyler Johnson, Colby Parkinson

Nacua is still going through additional testing, according to Schefter. He is expected to be considered week to week, per sources. That likely means his Week 2 status is in doubt. The Rams are at Arizona in Week 2 in a later afternoon game, so owners will need a backup plan. Kupp took advantage with 14 catches and 110 yards and could do so again in Week 2 if Nacua is out of action. The Rams could look to Johnson (5-79-0), Robinson and Parkinson at TE to make up for the loss of Nacua, much like they did in Week 1. Whittington, who is a rookie, is another name to watch.
