Jaguars release RB Alfred Blue

Sep 01, 2019

The Jaguars were active on the waiver wire Sunday and their moves included the addition of two running backs.

Additional backfield depth was needed as Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team has placed Alfred Blue on injured reserve. Blue is dealing with an ankle injury and can be designated for a return after at least six weeks on the list.

Tyler Ervin and Devine Ozigbo are the new faces behind Leonard Fournette.

Fantasy Impact:

Ervin moved on to the Ravens last year and failed to make the team out of camp this summer. Ozigbo fell short of a Saints roster spot after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent earlier this year.

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.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

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.
