Bengals WR John Ross looking to rebound from last year

Jul 30, 2018

Speedy receiver John Ross from Washington expected to show his big-play ability during his first season in Cincinnati. Instead, he missed most of camp while recovering from shoulder surgery and wound up playing in only three games.

He didn’t catch a pass and fumbled on a reverse—the only time he got the ball—before another shoulder injury ended his season.

Fantasy Impact:

Ross has made some big plays in camp on deep balls from QB Andy Dalton, and the Bengals are hoping that continues right into the regular season. The Bengals had one of their worst seasons offensively in franchise history, finishing last in yards, the story said.

Jaguars WR Gabe Davis dealing with torn meniscus

Forgotten moment from yesterday in the aftermath of the worst loss in franchise history: Jaguars WR Gabe Davis left the locker room on crutches with his left leg in a brace. Suffered a knee injury during the game against Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

UPDATE: It's been reported Davis has a torn meniscus. It hasn't yet been determined if Davis will need a trim or a full repair, according to reports. Pro Football Talk reports Davis would be done for the season needing a full repair. However, with the Jags at 2-9 and coming off a horrible loss to the Lions, there is really no need to bring Davis back. It looks like Thomas will remain the team's top target at WR but with Kirk and Davis now potentially done for the year, Washington moves up the depth chart.

Giants bench QB Daniel Jones

Pro Football Talk

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that the team would use its bye week to evaluate all options at quarterback and they’ve reportedly made their decision.

According to multiple reports, the Giants will bench Daniel Jones for their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Tommy DeVito is expected to take over as the team’s starter.

Fantasy Impact:

This news shouldn't come as a surprise as we detailed last week perhaps the biggest reason the Giants would bench Jones after their bye week - his $23 million injury guarantee. The story speculates no one is likely to trade for Jones after the season, and so it's expected he'll be released by the team at some point. The decision to start DeVito does make some sense as he was a popular player during his 15 minutes of fame last season, and he does at least bring some rushing upside in terms of fantasy. His only value for now comes in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues.

Fantasy Impact:

The team will test Kittle in pre-game but signs are pointing towards him not playing. Kittle is currently expected to return in Week 12 against the Packers. if Kittle can't go, Eric Saubert would get the start at tight end.
