Rams RB Malcolm Brown (clavicle) to at least miss rest of regular season

Dec 04, 2018

The Los Angeles Rams will be without their backup running back for at least the remainder of the regular season. According to Mike Garafolo, Malcolm Brown is out for the rest of the season, though his status for the postseason is up in the air.

Related players: John Kelly, Justin Davis, Todd Gurley

Fantasy Impact:

Brown suffered a clavicle injury against the Lions and underwent a procedure on Monday to repair it. With Brown out, Kelly and Davis will need to step up. Only Davis has been active this season (eight games) but has yet to receive a single carry, the story said. It's possible if the Rams wrap things up sooner than later, Kelly and/or Davis could see some time during the fantasy playoffs, so this is a key bit of news for Gurley owners.

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.
