Redskins cut ties with RB Larry Johnson

Sep 21, 2010

The Redskins cut RB Larry Johnson and signed Chad Simpson (special teamer).

Fantasy Impact:

The Redskins must have seen the same things we saw in Larry Johnson - nothing. Barring another move, Keiland Williams is now the backup to Clinton Portis. And backups to Clinton Portis are often called upon. Williams is certainly worth considering as a waiver add this week.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith and RB Saquon Barkley are both off the injury report after fully participating in practice and good to go Friday vs. the Bears.

Fantasy Impact:

Both players are in great spots for fantasy production for Week 13. Smith as a high-end WR2 and Barkley as an RB1.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) and WR DK Metcalf (ankle) were full participants in practice today.

Related Players: Mason Rudolph, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like both Steelers are on track to play Week 13, with lukewarm fantasy implications. Rodgers should be considered in the QB2/3 range, with an inconsistent Metcalf best regarded as a WR3.

Lions star WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is headed to the Lions’ locker room after getting rolled up on. A big one to monitor.

Related Players: Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa

Fantasy Impact:

We'll keep an eye on things but he didn't look too happy heading off the field toward the end of the first quarter. Hopefully it's nothing long-term if he doesn't return on Thanksgiving.
