For Ravens Pro Bowl fullback Le’Ron McClain, visions of grinding out pivotal fourth-quarter drives and touchdowns are a primary motivating factor as he tries to exercise and diet his way down to his ideal playing weight.

McClain said that he reported at 270 pounds with a target goal of getting down to 260 or 255 pounds.

“I’m in pretty good shape right now,” McClain said. “I’ve got about 10 more pounds to lose. I want to be in that 12-play drive kind of shape.

“I can move at any weight, but 260 or 255 is the weight I feel best at. I’m just working hard to get to that point.” /div>

For McClain, it’s a case of pushing himself to be more heavily involved in the offense as he returns to a more traditional fullback role one year removed from rushing for a career-high 902 yards and 10 touchdowns to lead the team.

If McClain is in optimum shape, then he’s hoping that offensive coordinator Cam Cameron is more likely to reciprocate with additional carries.

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.
