Gase: 'This is a new day' for RB Jay Ajayi

Sep 13, 2016

According to Dolphins HC Adam Gase, the running back now has a clean slate entering Week 2.

“We’re back to basically [where] he’s back in meetings, he’s back in the building,” Gase said. “We left him back. That was my decision and we’ve cleaned that up. We’ll move past that and basically this is a new day for him today.”

Fantasy Impact:

Ajayi fumbled and dropped a ball in limited time in preseason Week 4, which was part of the reason he entered Gase's doghouse. Ajayi could still end up with a role in the offense but right now it seems pretty clear it belongs to Arian Foster.

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.
