Darrelle Revis expected to shadow Antonio Brown

Sep 14, 2012

Steelers WR Mike Wallace expects Darrelle Revis to cover Antonio Brown and for Antonio Cromartie to stay with him, as he did in their two 2010 games. Wallace caught seven passes for 102 yards against the Jets Dec. 19, 2010, and Cromartie intercepted one pass in that Jets victory. Wallace caught one pass for 6 yards a few weeks later against the Jets in the AFC title game, which the Steelers won.

"Most of the time, I got Cromartie because of the matchup of our skill sets," Wallace said of those games. "AB is a shorter, quicker guy and Revis is a shorter, quicker guy. I think our first year [Sanders] might have had Revis. Mostly, by me being long-strided, as Cromartie, I think he matches up better with me."

Fantasy Impact:

This is not particularly good news for Brown, who played very limited snaps in the two games against the Jets in 2010. The Steelers' WR2 that year was Hines Ward. He caught two passes for 34 yards in Week 15 and followed that up with two catches for 14 yards in the playoffs. If Cromartie is on Wallace and Revis is on Brown, then Emmanuel Sanders might surprise as the Steelers' WR3. He caught 7 passes for 78 yards in Week 15 of 2010, but just caught one pass for 20 yards in the second matchup.

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.

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.
