Dec 10, 2009

Jaguars rookie tight end Zachary Miller's statistics (10 catches, 125 yards) don't jump out at people. But it might be only a matter of time before they do.

A sixth-round pick and former college quarterback at Nebraska-Omaha, Miller caught three passes for 76 yards against Houston last week, including a 62-yarder, the longest reception by a tight end in franchise history. Because of Miller's athleticism, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said the club installed plays earlier this season designed to put the ball in Miller's hands.

Miller thinks the team is finally calling upon those plays because of increased comfort in his familiarity with the offense.

"I'm excited about the opportunity," Miller said. "Hopefully, they're seeing that I'm getting better. It's been difficult, but fun. Coming from being a Division II quarterback to NFL tight has been way more intense and way more physical than I had been used to. But I think I'm getting better day by day."

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
