Jets will evaluate TE Chris Herndon before activating him

Oct 07, 2019

Chris Herndon and Brandon Copeland may not be ready to return from their suspensions just yet.

Adam Gase said Monday that he needs to see how both Herndon and Copeland perform at practice before deciding whether to activate them or not. The Jets have roster exemptions on both players because they are coming off of suspension, meaning the Jets don’t necessarily have to activate them right away if they don’t want to.

Fantasy Impact:

If he's not already, Herndon will be a popular waiver wire pickup. With the return of Sam Darnold at QB, hopefully in Week 6, Herndon is expected produce fantasy numbers after flashing at times last year as a rookie with a 39-502-4 line.

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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

yesterday · 11:39 AM EST

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.
