Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs to play Week 7 will "take the load"

Oct 20, 2023

Lions’ HC Dan Campbell told reporters that rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs will play vs. the Ravens and added this: “Certainly I think he’s going to need to take the load of (the work)….I’d like to say we’re going to be careful with him, but the reality is we need him.”

Related Players: Craig Reynolds, Devine Ozigbo

Fantasy Impact:

Dan Campbell has been pretty straight forward with his coach speak this year, which means we can't leave Gibbs out of lineups this weekend. Craig Reynolds can be considered an RB3 or FLEX play, as he may still garner the David Montgomery goal-line work.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

Related players: Brandon Allen, Joshua Dobbs

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday so owners will want to keep a close look as the week progresses. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries, and he took two sacks and four additional hits in the pocket, the story pointed out. The Niners play in the later window on Sunday at Green Bay.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb active for MNF

The Cowboys will have star receiver CeeDee Lamb, who is active. He popped up on the injury report Saturday with a back injury.

Lamb has 59 receptions for 681 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Owners will have to hope for the best with Cooper Rush at QB tonight. Last week Lamb was targeted 10 times, and that should hopefully continue tonight, but the Eagles held him to a line of 6-21-0.

Source: Former Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton is signing with the Chiefs practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

As Rapoport pointed out, it's a fresh start for the former second-round pick from the 2022 draft class who was waived Saturday. Any time the Chiefs make a move on offense it's worth note in terms of fantasy. That's not to say Thornton is going to step in and be a factor anytime soon, but he may be worth a stash in dynasty leagues if he happens to be on your wire.
