Staley: 'It's all about the hot hand' for Eagles RB rotation

Oct 01, 2019

Running backs coach Duce Staley tried to break down the Eagles RB situation:

"It’s predicated on the play but also when you get that feeling,” Staley said. “So as a play-caller, Doug Peterson will get a feeling of the guy that’s doing well, and we all see it. So we may keep that guy in the game — I think you saw that vs. Green Bay. You saw Jordan Howard start to get on a roll. It’s all about the hot hand. Then there’s certain plays that we might want another guy — certain plays are tagged to certain guys."

Related players: Miles Sanders, Corey Clement, Darren Sproles

Fantasy Impact:

Of course this doesn't make life easy for fantasy owners. Staley went on to say the plan changes from week-to-week. Against the Packers was the first team the Birds really featured Howard. Howard's carries have increased every week, though, while Sanders is in the 10-13 range since Week 1.

CeeDee Lamb (back) added to injury report, questionable for Monday

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic Lamb will play Monday. It’s the latest in a string of injuries for the 3-6 Cowboys. Lamb sounds like he’ll be good to go, but grabbing a player like Jalen Tolbert may not be the worst idea as a potential backup plan.

Nico Collins off injury report, good to go for Week 11

Houston Texans

yesterday · 6:38 PM EST

Texans WR Nico Collins is good to go for Week 11 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins got in two days of full practice Friday and Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Monday. He was activated from injured reserve last week but was held out for one more game. He’ll make his return for his first game since injuring his hamstring back in Week 5. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury so expect he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where they left off. Collins should be back in WR1 (top-12) territory.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby officially Out for Week 11

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.
