Arian Foster impresses in first practice

Jul 31, 2016

The uniform is different. But there were flashes from new Miami Dolphins running back Arian Foster Sunday where he looked like his same old self.

Foster made a "wow play" in drills right off the bat when he caught a one-handed pass in the corner of the end zone. He also had a nice, cutback run in team drills for a solid gain.

Fantasy Impact:

The Foster updates will likely come fast and furious, much to the dismay of Jay Ajayi owners, but Foster is looking more and more like he's going to have fantasy value in the Miami offense so his progress is worth monitoring. We continue to have Foster slightly ahead of Ajayi in our PPR rankings. Looks like at this point he just needs to stay healthy.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

Fantasy Impact:

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
