Chargers may look to upgrade at kicker

Sep 18, 2017

One of the best stories of the NFL preseason might not last long into the regular season.

Via Eric Williams of ESPN.com, Chargers coach Anthony Lynn did not dismiss the possibility of bringing in competition for struggling kicker Younghoe Koo.

“Well, we’re always looking to improve in that area. Always,” Lynn said after their 19-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Koo missed a 44-yarder which would have won the game, one of two misses on the day. He also had a potential game-tying field goal blocked last week against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact:

Koo is just 1-for-4 this season. Koo replaced incumbent Josh Lambo in training camp.

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.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

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.
