Ravens plan to use more no-huddle in offense

Nov 14, 2016

ter it worked last week, the Ravens plan to go to the no-huddle more frequently.

The team employed a hurry-up offense that exploded for 22 points in the second half of Thursday night’s 28-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns, coach John Harbaugh said going no-huddle should be a staple of the offensive menu for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg made the decision at halftime to loosen the reins on an offense that had recorded 14 first downs and 164 yards in the first half, but trailed 7-6 at intermission. Flacco, who had thrown just one touchdown pass in the three games prior to Thursday's, tossed three in a span of 18 minutes, 20 seconds during the second half. He completed 13-of-17 passes for 163 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the half.

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.
