Lions RB Tion Green shines in debut

Dec 04, 2017

Tion Green said it hurt his heart to see the Detroit Lions' struggles at the goal line, knowing how productive he was in those situations back in college.

He wasted no time showing what he meant.

On a day when the Detroit Lions had little else to smile about in a 44-20 loss against Baltimore, the rookie running back shined bright. He ran for 33 yards on his first touch, then turned his first red zone touch into a six-yard touchdown.

He finished with a team-high 55 yards on 11 carries, and had the one score.

Fantasy Impact:

We had a story on Green here at 4for4 just last week, with the coaching staff saying he was getting better in practices. Green prides himself on being a successful goal line back, something the Lions struggled at this season. Green hadn't seen the field after being an undrafted rookie out of Cincinnati. Both Abdullah and Washington were unavailable this week so it remains to be seen what Green's role will be if those guys are able to get back on the field.

CeeDee Lamb (back) added to injury report, questionable for Monday

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic Lamb will play Monday. It’s the latest in a string of injuries for the 3-6 Cowboys. Lamb sounds like he’ll be good to go, but grabbing a player like Jalen Tolbert may not be the worst idea as a potential backup plan.

Nico Collins off injury report, good to go for Week 11

Houston Texans

yesterday · 6:38 PM EST

Texans WR Nico Collins is good to go for Week 11 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins got in two days of full practice Friday and Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Monday. He was activated from injured reserve last week but was held out for one more game. He’ll make his return for his first game since injuring his hamstring back in Week 5. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury so expect he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where they left off. Collins should be back in WR1 (top-12) territory.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby officially Out for Week 11

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.
