Elijah Moore (quad) headed for MRI

Aug 12, 2021

According to Connor Hughes on Twitter, New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore is being evaluated for a quad injury and will undergo an MRI.

Fantasy Impact:

Elijah Moore had been making waves in camp, so hopefully, for everyone involved, the injury does not force him to miss any significant time. He is indeed at risk of missing the Jets' first preseason game this Saturday, but as long as he can return by the final preseason contest, he should still open the season as a three-wide starter. The Jets starters are not expected to play more than a series or two this weekend, so Moore will not be missing many live game reps if he can make it back for next week. Following his ascension to the first-team offense, Moore became a trendy sleeper and should prove to be an ADP bargain. Stay tuned for further updates.

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

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

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.
