Falcons RB Jacquizz Rodgers (concussion, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 17. Jason Snelling and Antone Smith will back up Steven Jackson in a bad matchup against the Panthers.
Ravens standout TE Isaiah Likely will have surgery this week to fix a broken bone in his foot, sources say. The belief is he’s out about 6 weeks, though depending on the outcome it could be fewer.
While Likely could be ready for Week 1, the best news is it’s not long-term.
Related Players: Mark Andrews
This clears the way for Andrews to have a bigger impact at the beginning of the season, as six weeks is really pushing up against Opening Weekend. We would expect the timeshare to be close to what it was last year by mid-season.
Bengals released veteran RB Zack Moss, who played in eight games with six starts for Cincinnati last season. Moss had 74 rushing attempts for 242 yards and two TDs last season.
Related Players: Chase Brown, Samaje Perine, Tahj Brooks
This had been hinted at by beat writers throughout summer, as the team is prepared to lock Brown in for another big workload, with Perine serving as a rotational thrid-down back. Brooks can still potentially get work, but it's not likely to be enough for redraft consideration.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh told reporters that TE Isaiah Likely rolled his ankle and is now expected to miss a few weeks.
Related Players: Mark Andrews
This should put him on track to be ready for Week 1, which is a sigh of relief for deep-league managers and Ravens fans alike. He should remain firmly in TE2 territory, with Andrews missing time a requisite for him being a consistent fantasy option.
