Dec 12, 2012

The Dolphins have a proven playmaker in RB Reggie Bush they haven't used properly until Sunday's 27-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Against one of the NFL's stingiest defenses Miami finally decided to line Bush up as a receiver regularly. Not a gimmick play, but his job.

Bush, who averages 2.2 catches a game on an anemic offense, was finally put into motion, finally leaking out of the backfield on third downs. Tannehill threw Bush as many passes (seven) as he's caught in the past six games.

The Dolphins linebackers will be the first to testify Bush is a nightmare to cover out the backfield when he's running drag routes, screens, flares and speed outs. But the Dolphins rarely use him in that fashion until Sunday.

"It's something that is always available to us. On offense it is something we always have in our package," said Bush, who has contributed 1,018 all-purpose yards and leads the team with five touchdowns. "It's just a matter of coaches calling it."

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.
