Titans QB Marcus Mariota (shoulder/elbow) lost some feeling in fingers after injury

Sep 10, 2018

Marcus Mariota was not very good Sunday, and he was really bad after a shoulder/elbow injury robbed him of some feeling in his fingers. He floated two passes that turned into interceptions and sat the rest of the way. He finished 9 for 16 for 103 yards, no touchdowns and the two picks, for a tidy quarterback rating of 37.4.

He said afterward he probably should have thought better of returning after the injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The story seemed concerned about Mariota and his injuries, and said he needs to get back from injury fast and figure things out in this offense because a lot is still new. A lack of precision as a key to his struggles. The story added this is a big season for Mariota and his future with the team. But owners will have to keep an eye on his status for next week against the Texans now.

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.
