Devonta Freeman added to Ravens practice squad

Sep 09, 2021

The Baltimore Ravens have signed free agent running back Devonta Freeman to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

The Baltimore Ravens needed some emergency depth after losing Gus Edwards to injury earlier today. We are still waiting for confirmation on the severity of Edwards' injury, but the team fears that he suffered a torn ACL. The Ravens also lost J.K. Dobbins and the recently waived Justice Hill to season-ending injuries. They were down to Ty'Son Williams, Trenton Cannon -- a career special teams player, and the recently signed Le'Veon Bell at running back. Bell is expected to get the promotion for Monday Night Football, but if he is not in football shape or cleared, Freeman, who was recently in camp with the New Orleans Saints, may get the tap and receive touches. This is a situation to monitor for deep league managers, but for now, at least, Ty'Son Williams is the running back to roster in Baltimore. Williams is our 20th ranked running back for Week 1.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Calvin Watkins on X

yesterday · 5:55 PM EST

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

The Athletic

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
