Antonio Brown may now possibly play Week 1

Sep 06, 2019

After a Thursday report saying Raiders WR Antonio Brown possibly wouldn’t play Monday against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport reports there is now chance Brown will not be suspended and actually play against Denver.

Fantasy Impact:

Reports surfaced, including one from ESPN’s Josina Anderson, that Brown issued an “emotional” apology Thursday after his actions Wednesday. Raiders captains were with Brown as he issued his apology. This has been one strange story so we’ll continue to keep an eye out. After suggesting looking for a backup option, now it’s looking like you may be able to use Brown. But monitor closely because it’s a Monday game and keep your flex options open. But for now, it sounds like Brown may be a go for Monday.

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.

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.
