Vikings Beat: Team may use 'hot hand' approach at running back

Sep 18, 2014

Vikings OC Norv Turner said will use both Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon and might use one more if he gets the hot hand.

Fantasy Impact:

McKinnon's stock is rising. He's not startable yet, but he's definitely worthy of an add and stash.

Cardinals "preparing" for Kyler Murray to start Week 9

The Arizona Cardinals are preparing quarterback Kyler Murray to start Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday. Murray missed Arizona's past two games with a foot injury and was able to rest it longer during the Cardinals' bye last week.

Related Players: Jacoby Brissett

Fantasy Impact:

Murray's in a great spot to come into fantasy relevance against a Cowboys defense that ranks dead last in QB aFPA. Even if Murray doesn't scramble around a ton with a rehabbing foot, he should still be in easy consideration as a QB1.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson misses Wednesday practice

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson didn’t practice today due to a toe injury.

Related Players: TreVeyon Henderson

Fantasy Impact:

Still early in the week, but Henderson would be an incredible RB2 candidate in what should be a very good matchup. We'll keep an eye on things, but the rookie might jump from potential FLEX candidate to must-start territory with quickness.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is officially off the injury report and good to go Thursday night vs. Miami, along with every other player on the 53-man roster. At last, Baltimore getting healthy.

Related Players: Tyler Huntley

Fantasy Impact:

If Jackson is suiting up, he's in our lineups. Mark Andrews is still a touchdown-dependent top-15 option, but Zay Flowers moves back into fringe WR1 consideration.
