Vikings promote Pat Shurmur to offensive coordinator

Nov 02, 2016

Pat Shurmur will be the interim offensive coordinator for the rest of the season, the team announced Wednesday morning. Turner, in his 27th season as an NFL coach, had called plays for the Vikings in 40 games under head coach Mike Zimmer.

Shurmur was hired this offseason as the Vikings tight ends coach and, along with new offensive line coach Tony Sparano, was brought in to invigorate the offense with new ideas.

Fantasy Impact:

Shurmur has seven years of experience as a head coach (Browns) and offensive coordinator (Rams, Eagles). He was the OC in Philadelphia in 2015 when Sam Bradford was the quarterback. That year, the offense was 12th in total yards and 13th in points scored.

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.
