Vrabel: Tough couple weeks for WR A.J. Brown (hamstring)

Sep 27, 2021

Mike Vrabel acknowledged that it has been a tough couple of weeks for A.J. Brown but said he's confident that Brown will pull through it. "It's a long season and we all go through some ups and downs."

Fantasy Impact:

Vrabel said he's confident Brown can be back to being the player he was. HIs fantasy owners are hoping for that as well. Brown tallied four catches for 43 yards and a score in Week 1, but had just three catches for 43 yards and had several drops in Week 2. To make matters worse, Brown's Week 3 was cut short with a hamstring injury. There was no other information as far as his status for Week 4 goes.

Jones lost some playing time as well, with other reports saying he was having his workload managed. We'll have to see if Jones appears on the injury report this week as the Titans could be short-handed at the position heading into Week 4.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
