Victor Cruz (groin) sidelined

Aug 09, 2016

The day started with wide receiver Victor Cruz on the field at New York Giants training camp, practicing with his teammates.

It ended with him watching from the sideline.

Cruz had a "tight groin." The issue surfaced in the middle of Tuesday's two-hour-plus practice. Cruz, who has missed almost all of the past two seasons with injuries, watched during most of team drills. It wasn't an unfamiliar sight.

Fantasy Impact:

Cruz, 29, brushed it off. He's not concerned. He has said tightness in the groin is something he experiences every training camp. It might, in fact, be nothing more than a twinge. But with Cruz, any injury is of serious concern. The calf injury that sidelined him all of last season was initially thought to be dehydration. It morphed into a strain before becoming a season-ending problem, the story pointed out.

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.

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.
