Jaguars promote practice squad RB, bad sign for Fournette

Sep 15, 2018

The Jaguars basically gave away that RB Leonoard Fournette is not going to play against New England as they made a move Saturday to promote RB Brandon Wilds to the 53-man active roster from the practice squad.

Jags coach Doug Marrone had been pointing all week to the Friday practice, as the key as to whether Fournette could demonstrate that he could do something with his strained hamstring for this week’s game. Fournette has not practiced all week.

Yeldon is in line for a large workload in Sunday's game against the Patriots. He's well positioned for RB2 numbers in Week 2.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
