Sep 15, 2011

Saints WR Lance Moore, whose groin was injured during the team's California training camp, appeared to be running fluidly, and his routes looked crisp, but even he acknowledged questions remain.

In particular, Moore said he is anxious to see how he will feel today on the heels of some strenuous work. Moore practiced three days before the Packers game last week, but then was unable to play on Sept. 8.

"I feel pretty good," Moore said. "It's just a matter of getting back in there, getting reps and seeing how my body reacts. My mentality is I want to be out there, but Coach Payton has done a pretty good job of communicating with me that we don't want this one-week injury turning into a four-, five- or even six-week injury. So we're going to kind of see how my body reacts to being back out there at practice."

Having missed six weeks with a high-ankle sprain in 2009, Moore said this hasn't been the most frustrating stretch of his career.

"So this is something that I'm definitely positive about," he said. "I'm just going to work as hard as I can to hopefully be out there on Sunday."

Fantasy Impact:

With Marques Colston sidelined, there is a lot of opportunity in the Saints WR corps right now. If Moore is a "full go" then he'll be a solid start in most formats. His presence would put a dent in the value of Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson. We're still reasonably high on Meachem, even if Moore returns.

Broncos waive TE Greg Dulcich

Pro Football Talk

yesterday · 6:46 PM EST

The NFL’s transaction report for Monday shows that the Broncos have waived Greg Dulcich off the 53-man roster.

Fantasy Impact:

Dulcich was a 2022 third-round pick and he caught 33 passes for 411 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games during his rookie season, the story pointed out. Those numbers made him a hot prospect for a while, however, hamstring injuries have caused him to fall off the fantasy radar. He's been inactive for the team's last eight games, the story added.

49ers QB Brock Purdy does light throwing with no issues

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy did some light throwing without issue Monday, coach Kyle Shanahan said.

Purdy, who missed Sunday’s game with right shoulder soreness, will rest Tuesday.

“We’ll see how it feels on Wednesday,” Shanahan said, via KNBR. “Hopefully, it responds better this week than it did last week with the rest.”

Fantasy Impact:

Purdy appeared to injure the shoulder when his hand hit the arm of Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon as he released a pass early in the fourth quarter in Week 11, the story said. The story added the 49ers, though, don’t know specifically when Purdy injured it as he not miss time in that game with the injury.
An MRI showed no damage but after experiencing soreness Purdy got a second MRI last week. The Niners will need Purdy in Week 13 when they travel to the Bills in a Sunday night game. Those counting on Purdy may need to have a backup plan in place this week.

Quarterback Daniel Jones cleared waivers as expected Monday, making him a free agent.

Jones now is free to sign with any team.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said a team claiming him off waivers would have had to pay Jones $11.83 million for the rest of the year and assume $23 million in injury guarantees. The Giants now are responsible for the $11.83 million. The story also added, 10 teams reportedly already have reached out to Jones. The story suggested Jones' best move would be to sign to a contender’s practice squad because it would allow Jones to sign to the active roster of a different team if a starter gets injured. The Ravens, Vikings and Raiders have been rumored to be interested in Jones.
