Chargers Beat: Joshua Kelley in lead for RB2 spot

Aug 17, 2022

Joshua Kelley started Saturday’s preseason game against the Rams and had a really efficient game, totaling 44 yards from scrimmage on six touches. In Tuesday’s practice, Kelley continued to get the most first-team work of the three running backs vying for the second running back spot behind Austin Ekeler — Larry Rountree III, rookie Isaiah Spiller and Kelley.

Fantasy Impact:

Seems like a bit of an upset fi Kelley comes away with the job, especially with the rookie Spiller garnering a lot of post-NFL Draft hype. Ekeler is ranked fourth on our RB list so he'll get a bulk of the work out of the backfield, especially in the passing game. But the team will have a need for a between-the-tackles-type runner. For Ekeler owners, this is a battle to keep an eye on throughout camp. For the record, the story said the team is happy with Spiller's development to this point.

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.
