49ers RB Raheem Mostert sprains MCL, RB Tevin Coleman injures knee

Sep 20, 2020

Raheem Mostert sustained a mild MCL sprain during Sunday's 31-13 road victory against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Backfield mate Tevin Coleman, who also hurt his knee Sunday.

Related players: Jerick McKinnon, Jeff Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Mostert departed the game in the second quarter, but not before accumulating 107 yards from scrimmage on 10 touche. Coleman had 12 yards on 14 carries. Because of those injuries, McKinnon (three rushes for 77 yards and a score) and Wilson (two runs for three yards) rounded out the 49ers' healthy running backs, the story said. Remember, the team signed McKinnon to be the go-to back a couple of years ago before getting hurt, so he could be finally getting his chance if Mostert and Coleman miss time.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears Out, Tony Pollard Questionable for Week 9

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is listed out for Sunday’s game on Tennessee’s injury report.

RB Tony Pollard is listed as questionable.

WR Calvin Ridley is off the injury report.

Related Players: Julius Chestnut

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like this could be the Chestnut show, but we won't know until Sunday. If that is the case, this is a situation we should save for DFS contests, not necessarily in redraft lineups.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson officially Questionable for Week 9

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is officially questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Giants.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

This is a separate injury than Robinson (knee) was dealing with a couple of weeks ago, so this is unlikely just a flare-up. If BRob misses Week 9, consider Austin Ekeler a fringe RB2/3 with McNichols operating as a desperation flyer.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf officially Out Week 9

Ian Rapoport

yesterday · 4:24 PM EDT

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (MCL sprain) has been ruled out for Sunday.

Related Players: Jake Bobo, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett

Fantasy Impact:

Metcalf was sorely missed in Week 8, when no other receivers were able to step up outside of JSN going 6-69-0. Lockett, in particular, was a regrettable fantasy start, while Geno Smith had only 212 yards and zero touchdowns for the first time all season. Smith-Njigba is the only reliable part of the passing attack (along with Kenneth Walker) this week.
