Washington TE Jordan Reed (hamstring) OUT for Week 14

Dec 08, 2017

Surprise, surprise... Washington TE Jordan Reed will miss the team's Week 14 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. This will be Reed's sixth straight missed game.

Fantasy Impact:

As usual, Vernon Davis will assume the No. 1 TE role in Washington. In the first three games Reed missed, Davis was targeted a combined 26 times, catching 16 passes for 179 yards. In the last two games, he's totaled only 2 catches for 15 yards, with all that production coming last week versus the Cowboys.

In Week 14, we have Davis ranked as a high-end TE2 option in a tough matchup versus the Chargers, who are ranked eighth in aFPA vs. TEs. You might want to look elsewhere for streaming TE help.

Chargers rooke WR Tre Harris' mini-holdout ends

Holdout over: Tre Harris has now agreed to terms and will sign his rookie contract, sources say.

Related Players: Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, Jalen Reagor, KeAndre Lamber-Smith, Derius Davis

Fantasy Impact:

That lasted all of five days, and comes on the heels of Mike Williams' retirement earlier today. Harris will now use training camp to attempt to climb his way to the top of the depth chart and work as Justin Herbert's main outside option.

Chargers WR Mike Williams set to retire

Sources: Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams’ agent Tory Dandy informed the team last night that, after eight seasons, his client is retiring from the NFL. Williams walks away from the game at age 30.

Fantasy Impact:

This comes as quite a shock, but the veteran was set to hit PUP heading into training camp, and either the injury was more severe than we thought or Williams didn't want to deal with another stint on the sidelines after missing so much of 2023 with a torn ACL. Tre Harris is still unsigned as of this news, which could put Quentin Johnston back in line to operate as the main WR2 once again. It's hard to see McConkey getting any more of a target share after his massive rookie output, but that could very well be the case.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson "believed" to have recovered from shoulder setback

Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. is believed to have recovered from his recent right shoulder setback as the team prepares to report for training camp next week.

Richardson, who underwent season-ending surgery to repair an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder during the 2023 season, missed the final two weeks of the team's offseason practices in June after experiencing soreness in that shoulder.

Related Players: Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like we've got an old-fashioned QB battle on our hands, fantasy enthusiasts. Holder continues to note that Richardson will likely be evaluated next week and could be on a "pitch count" to avoid fatigue. If Richardson gets the nod to start most of the games this season, it will likely come with a shrinking target count for the Colts' pass-catchers, but he has proven to be a valuable fantasy asset due to his rushing. He is still a stay-away until deep in drafts, as we truly have no way of knowing how many games he can/will be allowed to play in.
