Jets to work out kickers

Oct 29, 2024

After Greg Zuerlein missed two kicks in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots, Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that he had no regrets about sticking with Zuerlein despite several other missed kicks that have played major roles in several of the team’s losses this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Ulbrich’s lack of regret isn’t keeping the team from looking at other options as they head into Thursday night’s game against the Texans, the story said. Ulbrich said at a Monday press conference that the team is “going to bring the kickers in for a workout” on Tuesday and then decide who will handle the duties. Zuerlein owners may want to take notice. At the very least, this is just a possible wake-up call for Zuerlein, but it's also possible the team makes a switch before Thursday's game.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill officially Questionable for Week 16

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) was limited in practice today and is now questionable for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful.

Related Players: Jonnu Smith, Malik Washington, River Cracraft

Fantasy Impact:

We're assuming Hill will be fine by kickoff, but it's definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on. He's currently projected as a WR2, with Jonnu Smith possibly absorbing even more work with Waddle unlikely to see the field.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee set to make his season debut in Week 16

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee/illness) is off the injury report and set to make his season debut Sunday vs. the Jets.

Related Players: Colby Parkinson, Hunter Long, Davis Allen

Fantasy Impact:

This is awesome news for Higbee, who had a brutal injury last January but should see the field here in Week 16. This is a complete stay-away in typical fantasy leagues, but he's an interesting target in playoff-only formats, depending on whether or not you believe the Rams will be contenders.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo officially Out for Week 16

49ers injury report vs. Dolphins:
Out
RB Isaac Guerendo (foot, hamstring)
OT Trent Williams (ankle)
Questionable
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles, knee)
DE Robert Beal (ankle)
(Approximately, 70% of the players the 49ers listed as questionable have played.)

Related Players: Patrick Taylor, Kyle Juszczyk, Israel Abanikanda

Fantasy Impact:

We're assuming Taylor will now be the next, next man up, but they also have Abanikanda, as well as Ke'Shawn Vaughn on the practice squad. Taylor should be considered somewhere in the RB3 range if Guerendo is out, but the others should just be on WW watch for now.
