Jared Goff running second team

Aug 01, 2016

First steps. They can be shaky, can be thrilling. They can be true adventure.

Jared Goff is the Los Angeles Rams' new prize, their franchise quarterback. The first overall draft pick, the Golden Boy from the Cal Golden Bears.

For now he is running with the second team. At some point, whether it’s to start the season opener or somewhere later, Goff is going to start. Players taken No. 1 overall are going to start.

Fantasy Impact:

Right now, he's playing behind starter Case Keenum. His progress figures to be filled with ups and downs, and certainly his first two practices went that way over the weekend. Sunday he delivered several sharp short passes, but also had a poor pass picked off by cornerback Marcus Roberson. He also threw an interception Saturday. He's ranked 29th on our list and will likely get a lot of late-round attention and as the story said, it's only a matter of time before Goff is the starter.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
