Report: 49ers, RB Raheem Mostert finalize new deal

Jul 27, 2020

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert has finalized a new contract with the team, his agent announced Monday.

Earlier this month, agent Brett Tessler announced he had requested that the 49ers trade his client because of unproductive contract talks. However, the situation changed on Monday as Tessler tweeted:

"Just finalized a new deal for Raheem Mostert with the San Francisco 49ers. Happy we got things worked out and looking forward to him having another great season there. Thanks to the organization for taking care of him."

Fantasy Impact:

Details of the contract were not immediately known, but before the deal, Mostert was scheduled to be paid a base salary of $2.575 million this season and was due $2.875 million in 2021 as part of a three-year contract he signed last year. Mostert will be a high-upside back in any given week, but given the nature of the 49ers’ hot-hand approach at the position, this may be a frustrating situation for fantasy owners.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears Out, Tony Pollard Questionable for Week 9

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:31 PM EDT

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is listed out for Sunday’s game on Tennessee’s injury report.

RB Tony Pollard is listed as questionable.

WR Calvin Ridley is off the injury report.

Related Players: Julius Chestnut

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like this could be the Chestnut show, but we won't know until Sunday. If that is the case, this is a situation we should save for DFS contests, not necessarily in redraft lineups.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson officially Questionable for Week 9

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is officially questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Giants.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

This is a separate injury than Robinson (knee) was dealing with a couple of weeks ago, so this is unlikely just a flare-up. If BRob misses Week 9, consider Austin Ekeler a fringe RB2/3 with McNichols operating as a desperation flyer.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf officially Out Week 9

Ian Rapoport

yesterday · 4:24 PM EDT

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (MCL sprain) has been ruled out for Sunday.

Related Players: Jake Bobo, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett

Fantasy Impact:

Metcalf was sorely missed in Week 8, when no other receivers were able to step up outside of JSN going 6-69-0. Lockett, in particular, was a regrettable fantasy start, while Geno Smith had only 212 yards and zero touchdowns for the first time all season. Smith-Njigba is the only reliable part of the passing attack (along with Kenneth Walker) this week.
