Tyrell Williams ruled out for Week 2 (concussion) against Packers

Sep 18, 2021

There was always an outside chance that Williams was going to play Monday night, but with an extra day to be cleared some had their hopes up.

Fantasy Impact:

The biggest beneficiary of Williams absence will be T.J. Hockenson, who vaults himself into one of Week 2's top tight end plays. Expect the Lions to deploy Quintez Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond three-wide sets.

Packers activate Jayden Reed from injured reserve

The Packers activated WR Jayden Reed from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

Reed has been out since Week 2 with foot and collarbone injuries. His foot had been bothering him since the preseason and then he injured his collarbone in Week 2, which allowed him time to get his foot healthy. Reed was limited in practice all week and, while the Packers still had one more week left in Reed’s 21-day window, they are choosing to activate him now. Expect Reed to be limited against the Bears. With the other available options, the Packers can take their time with Reed. He’s WR65 on our board.

Omarion Hampton (ankle) expected to return Week 14

Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (questionable, ankle) is expected to play Monday against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

Hampton has not played since Week 5. He practiced in full on Friday and Saturday. He’ll face an Eagles defense that will be without star defensive tackle Jalen Carter. However, it remains to be seen how quickly he gets back into game shape. The Chargers could very well use some sort of committee between Hampton and Kimani Vidal. We have Hampton as RB27 this week.

Chargers list Justin Herbert as questionable for Monday night, team optimistic

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (left hand) is listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

The team is optimistic about his chances of playing Monday. He was limited in practice all week, wearing a brace throughout. However, a combination of the injury and a typically strong Eagles defense means you should show caution about using Herbert this week. He’s a fine 2-QB league option. He ranks No. 17 on our board.
