Giants still unsure if RB Rashad Jennings will play Week 4

Sep 26, 2016

Rashad Jennings was a late scratch with a thumb injury in Week 3.

Giants HC Ben McAdoo doesn't know yet if Jennings will be ready for the Vikings game.

"It's one day following the game," McAdoo said. "He has a long week to make some progress. We'll take a look at that at the end of the week."

Related players: Orleans Darkwa, Bobby Rainey, Paul Perkins

Fantasy Impact:

The team lost Shane Vereen (tricep) who was played on IR. He may or may not return this season, according to reports, so there's a bigger need for Jennings to come back this week. If he can't go, Orleans Darkwa, Bobby Rainey and Paul Perkins would make up the running back unit.

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.

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.
