Vernon Davis strains hamstring

Sep 16, 2013

49ers tight end Vernon Davis departed early after suffering a hamstring injury. He was the intended target on Colin Kaepernick’s second interception of the game early in the fourth quarter.

On the 49ers’ next drive, NBC’s Michelle Tafoya reported that Davis had ice on his leg and had been ruled out.

Fantasy Impact:

CSN Bay Area is reporting the injury is a "strain." His Week 3 status is in doubt so this needs to be monitored as the week goes on. Vance McDonald, who the 9ers drafted in the third round this year, would step in next if Davis can't play.

Lions exercise fifth-year option on WR Jameson Williams

The Lions have exercised the 2026 fifth-year team options on DE Aidan Hutchison and WR Jameson Williams.

Related Players: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Tim Patrick, Kalif Raymond, Tom Kennedy

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for fantasy, as there aren't many better places for Williams to be than alongside ARSB and Sam LaPorta clogging up the middle of defenses. Williams should continue to operate as a nice boom-bust WR3 option, even if the Lions tack on some WR talent through the NFL Draft.

WR Tyler Lockett signs with Titans on one-year deal

Former Seahawks legend Tyler Lockett is signing with the Titans on a 1-year, $4M deal with a chance to get to $6M.

Related Player: Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, Treylon Burks

Fantasy Impact:

Solid signing to add some more stability to the WR room ahead of the (presumptive) selection of QB Cam Ward at No. 1. This doesn't at all preclude the team from grabbing some more pieces through the Draft, and Lockett is more of a role player than one who the offense runs through at this point of his career, so he should be considered a deep WR5 flier in fantasy land.

RB James Cook does not report to Bills voluntary offseason program

Buffalo Pro-Bowl running back James Cook did not report to the start of the Bills’ voluntary offseason program. Cook is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and would like a new deal.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, Darrynton Evans, Frank Gore Jr.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bills are equipped to head into the season sans Cook, but no one behind him on the depth chart has the same do-it-all functionality as the RB1. We'll keep an eye on this, but it's still too early in the process to panic about Cook's availability.
