Theo Riddick (hamstring) says he'll play Week 7

Oct 12, 2014

Lions RB Theo Riddick says his injury is minor and expects to be available next week when the New Orleans Saints visit Ford Field.

Riddick did most of his damage through the air, catching five passes for 75 yards and one touchdown. He led the Lions in receiving yardage, despite leaving the game in the second half after sustaining a hamstring injury. It's the second time he's dealt with the injury, and it sidelined him last week against Buffalo.

Fantasy Impact:

Riddick says he does not expect this injury to linger. He expects to play against the Saints in Week 7. Reggie Bush said he also expects to return in Week 7. If that holds true, it would hurt Riddick's value in Week 7 as both serve as pass-catching backs complimenting Joique Bell.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
