Bears place RB Khalil Herbert (hip) on IR

Nov 15, 2022

The Chicago Bears are placing running back Khalil Herbert on injured reserve, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

Fantasy Impact:

Herbert suffered a hip injury in Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions. With Herbert landing on IR, he’ll have to miss the next four games. He’s eligible to return in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, the story said - which is smack in the middle of the fantasy playoffs. Look for Montgomery to get an increased workload with Ebner and Evans battling for carries behind Monty. Of course Fields has been leading the way on the ground over the past several weeks.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday so owners will want to keep a close look as the week progresses. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries, and he took two sacks and four additional hits in the pocket, the story pointed out. The Niners play in the later window on Sunday at Green Bay.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb active for MNF

The Cowboys will have star receiver CeeDee Lamb, who is active. He popped up on the injury report Saturday with a back injury.

Lamb has 59 receptions for 681 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Owners will have to hope for the best with Cooper Rush at QB tonight. Last week Lamb was targeted 10 times, and that should hopefully continue tonight, but the Eagles held him to a line of 6-21-0.

WR Tyquan Thornton signs with Chiefs practice squad

Source: Former Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton is signing with the Chiefs practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

As Rapoport pointed out, it's a fresh start for the former second-round pick from the 2022 draft class who was waived Saturday. Any time the Chiefs make a move on offense it's worth note in terms of fantasy. That's not to say Thornton is going to step in and be a factor anytime soon, but he may be worth a stash in dynasty leagues if he happens to be on your wire.
