Redskins RB Derrius Guice back doing drills

Oct 22, 2019

The Athletic's Rhianna Walker is reporting Derrius Guice is back doing drills at the team's facility.

Fantasy Impact:

Washington has recommitted to the run in recent weeks. Their backs only carried the ball 13, 13, 19, 15 and 11 times during the first five weeks of the season, a total of 71 carries out of their backfield. In the past two weeks, that has increased to 27 and 25, respectively, the story said. With Peterson banged up, a Guice return could mean a nice workload over the final weeks of the season. The story added the earliest Guice will be able to play will be the home game against the New York Jets on Nov. 17. That will come after the bye week and theoretically give the LSU product two weeks of practice time before suiting up again.

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.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

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

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.
