Texans worried about RB situation for Week 9

Oct 28, 2013

Texans coach Gary Kubiak is very worried about RB situation.

Fantasy Impact:

Arian Foster and Ben Tate did not practice Monday. Foster has a hamstring injury while Tate has four broken ribs. Even though it's only Monday coming off a bye week, both players announced after Week 7 they would be ready for Week 9, so this is a little discouraging to Kubiak. Newly signed Deji Karim and Dennis Johnson practiced today along with Ray Graham. Tate, at least, still feels he will play in Week 9 while Foster added that he plans to be back at practice late in the week. Keep in mind the game is on a Sunday night against Indy, so owners of Foster and Tate may need a pretty good backup plan...

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.

— The 49ers ruled out LT Trent Williams (ankle) and S Malik Mustapha (chest), but RB Isaac Guerendo (foot) is questionable. So is Dre Greenlaw, who was full today.
— The Rams ruled out TE Tyler Higbee (knee) and Cobie Durant (chest).

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson

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.
