Donald Driver not only feels great after he had double ...

Jun 11, 2010

Donald Driver not only feels great after he had double arthroscopic knee surgeries back in January -- he wishes he had the procedure years ago.

Driver was at the New Berlin Ale House Thursday night to support Packers teammate Greg Jennings for a pre-golf party. The two men, along with numerous Packers, will spend all day Friday golfing for Jennings' major fundraiser for Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity and the Greg Jennings Foundation; the goal is to raise $150,000 to pay for two Habitat homes, one in Milwaukee and one in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Driver said he hadn’t told anyone other than the Packers staff that he was playing with limited range and flexibility as well as pain last year. It wasn’t until last Wednesday, when Packers coach Mike McCarthy admitted, when pressed, that Driver and Nick Barnett had both had knee scopes. Both players had been out of offseason practices and working with a group of rehabilitating players.

Fantasy Impact:

Donald Driver must have a "fountain of youth" secretly hidden at his home. With the exception of last season (2nd half), his production has been consistent. However, at some point a drop-off should be expected. For now, he is a safe #3 WR in most fantasy formats.

Cowboys Beat: TE Jake Ferguson not expected to play Thursday

Nick Harris on X

1 hour ago

Long list here, but this is what I’ve gathered:

Guys I expect to play: Brandin Cooks, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Cooper Rush

Guys I don’t expect to play: Jake Ferguson, Caelen Carson (possible IR), Zack Martin, Asim Richards

Gonna be close: Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Marshawn Kneeland

Related players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Ferguson didn't practice Tuesday and remains in protocol, while Rush and Lamb both logged limited sessions. Cooks was also limited. Harris expects Rush, Lamb and Cooks to all play on Thanksgiving against the Giants. If Ferguson is out, Schoonmaker makes for a nice option as a replacement TE in fantasy lineups.

QB Daniel Jones has 'leading' choice, decision could come Wednesday

A high-ranking league official told me they have the impression QB Daniel Jones has zeroed on a "leading" choice. While another high-ranking league source told me their understanding is Jones "is telling teams tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones seems headed for a backup job and the Ravens, Vikings and Bucs seem like teams that could be in the market. There is a report that says Jones has eliminated the Raiders from contention. As the report said, a decision could come Wednesday from Jones.

Saints say WR Chris Olave (concussion) in a good place

Darren Rizzi said that Chris Olave is in a good place.

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say Olave was at the Saints practice on Tuesday and that Olave has seen several specialists and has another appointment coming up soon. On IR, the earliest Olave could be back is Week 15, but there seems to be a ways to go before we get to that point. Other reports say Olave may not return this season.
