Commanders RB Brian Robinson likely GTD again, Austin Ekeler looks good to go

Oct 11, 2024

From "Good Morning Football" Rapoport reports, indications are that Austin Ekeler is going to play on Sunday after logging a full practice on Thursday, while Brian Robinson has not practiced yet and looks to be a game-time call, as he was in Week 5.

Related Players: Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

Robinson casually had two touchdowns last week, but that would be hard to bank on again, considering they came on seven rush attempts (18 yards). If Robinson is out, or even limited, Ekeler is in a fantastic spot in what could end up being a massive shootout.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed to undergo surgery, possibly missing the rest of the '24 season

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Saints HC Dennis Allen ruled out WR Chris Olave for Thursday night’s game vs. Denver due to a concussion.

Related Players: Juwan Johnson, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Mason Tipton

Fantasy Impact:

Things are trending in the wrong direction for the Saints this week, with a number of impactful injuries looking to sap their offense. Mean is fine as a desperation Flex, but don't expect too much.

Jets WR Davante Adams is expected to play Week 7

Jets HC Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that WR Davante Adams — who has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury — is expected to play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

It shouldn't take much time for Adams to get heavily involved in the offensive gameplan, with literally hundreds of targets from Aaron Rodgers on his resume. Though this is a tough matchup against the Steelers' defense, targets should be funneled to Adams and Wilson from the get-go. Put both of them in WR2 consideration this week.
