Sep 19, 2011

Now down two important elements of their offense, the Chiefs are leaning on players such as Matt Cassel, Dexter McCluster and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. On Sunday, none was up to the task.

Cassel threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. McCluster led the Chiefs with 51 rushing yards, but for the second straight week he lost a fumble. He also had a net of minus-2 yards on his four pass receptions.

Bowe delivered the Chiefs’ biggest play with a 45-yard pass reception. But in the second quarter, he failed to haul in a pass that was then intercepted by the Lions, ending the Chiefs’ last possession in Detroit’s side of the field.

Fantasy Impact:

McCluster could be an interesting pickup if he can overcome fumbles. He wasn't supposed to be much of a factor in the offense outside of kick returns. But, the fact the team didn't give the ball exclusively to Thomas Jones should make you realize the team probably won't count on him as a full time back.

The way the Chiefs have performed this year, it could be a situation to stay away from anyway. But, keep an eye on McCluster because he clearly has the most potential.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Adam Schefter on X

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
