Miami RB Daniel Thomas became the team’s first running ...

Sep 19, 2011

Miami RB Daniel Thomas became the team’s first running back to eclipse 100 yards since December 2009.

Thomas’ first game is particularly impressive, considering he did little during the preseason to heighten expectations for him.

Earlier in the week, coach Tony Sparano said he would like Bush to get 75 percent of the plays on offense — but once Thomas got hot, he started getting the majority of the touches. Whether that becomes a standard strategy will be worth monitoring.

Reggie Bush finished the game with 18 yards on six carries.

Fantasy Impact:

We all know by now that Reggie Bush may not be a 75%-of-the-work kind of back on a team that likes to run the ball. Thomas emerged from this game with some nice fantasy value, at least in certain matchups until we see him get these type of carries on a more consistent basis.

While Bush will still get his share of touches, especially in the passing game, Thomas is a guy to keep an eye on as someone who could get first and second down work.

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

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.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

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.
