Bills possibly lose another back: Cierre Wood

Oct 11, 2015

The Buffalo Bills entered Sunday's Week 5 game with just three active running backs. Unfortunately, they're now down to only two.

Cierre Wood was carted off the field in the second quarter against the Tennessee Titans with a knee injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and Karlos Williams (concussion) are both dealing with injuries of their own and were forced to miss Sunday's game, leaving just Boobie Dixon and the recently-acquired Boom Herron as the only healthy backs.

Fantasy Impact:

It's unknown how severe Wood's injury is, but any time a player is carted off, it's possibly serious, the story pointed out. Although it's not always the case. While McCoy will likely be out through the team's Week 8 bye, Williams should return sooner rather than later. Herron carried 9 times for 28 yards and Dixon just seven times for 19 yards.

Cowboys "moving away" from RBBC, declaring Rico Dowdle No. 1 RB

Mike McCarthy moving away from running back by committee concept, declaring Rico Dowdle the No. 1 RB. “Rico needs to touch the ball,” he said.

Related Players: Ezekiel Elliott, Deuce Vaughn, Dalvin Cook, Hunter Luepke

Fantasy Impact:

This is great and all, but the Cooper Rush-led offense looked beyond miserable last week, and it's hard to see how it's going to get much better moving forward. Consider Dowdle a high-floor/low-ceiling RB3 in Week 11.

WR Jonathan Mingo set to make Cowboys debut in Week 11

Jonathan Mingo is expected to make his debut for the Cowboys this week, per MM.

Mingo was inactive last week following the trade to allow time for ramping up.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

We wouldn't expect a ton of action from Mingo fantasy-wise, but it's not as if he has a murderer's row of talent standing between himself and a WR2 role. He can be left on waiver wires in most every format, but might be worth checking to see if he ended up on waiver wires in Dynasty leagues.
