Titans QBs: Young could be done, Collins can't help

Nov 22, 2010

Kerry Collins would love to be able to step in and bail the Titans out of their quarterback crisis.

Right now, however, he’s still in no position to do so.

Collins is still recovering from a calf injury he suffered against Miami on November 14. He’s expected to miss a few more weeks at a time when the team is handing the job over to rookie Rusty Smith.

Vince Young is out not only because of a thumb injury that may require surgery, but because he had a confrontation with Coach Jeff Fisher after Sunday’s loss to the Redskins. His season – and career – could be over in Tennessee.

“I’ll do everything I can,’’ Collins said of his availability. “We’ll see. I’ve mad a lot of progress up to this point and hopefully I’ll continue to make progress. I’m doing everything I can to get back out there.’’

Collins worked on the sideline with Smith on Sunday when he relieved Young in the third quarter, relaying information from the press box in conversations with quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains.

Smith is expected to start on Sunday at Houston.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith at least gets to face one of the more porous secondaries in the league in the Texans, but it's still not a great idea to rush out, pick him up and throw him in your lineup.

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.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo, Nick Bosa, and Dre Greenlaw active for Week 15

In Week 15, the red and gold have defensive lineman Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw active and ready for the team's second meeting with their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams.

On the other side of the ball, the 49ers will have rookie running back Isaac Guerendo available against the Rams. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday on account of a foot sprain but was given the green light to play ahead of "Thursday Night Football."

Fantasy Impact:

We do expect Guerendo to handle the majority workload for TNF, but you do have to wonder if he gets the same type of workload he would have, had he avoided the injury report all week. Consider him closer to an RB3 than a locked-in RB2 he otherwise would have been.
