Jun 10, 2014

The Eagles used two- or three-tight end sets 27.3 percent of the time last season. That percent likely will increase this year as Chip Kelly and Pat Shurmur try to maximize Zach Ertz' pass-catching skills, and still take advantage of Brent Celek's blocking prowess in the run game and production in the red zone.

Fantasy Impact:

They also want to play Jordan Matthews in the slot, so snaps may be at a premium for both Ertz and Matthews if all the other receivers and tight ends stay healthy.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears Out, Tony Pollard Questionable for Week 9

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:31 PM EDT

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is listed out for Sunday’s game on Tennessee’s injury report.

RB Tony Pollard is listed as questionable.

WR Calvin Ridley is off the injury report.

Related Players: Julius Chestnut

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like this could be the Chestnut show, but we won't know until Sunday. If that is the case, this is a situation we should save for DFS contests, not necessarily in redraft lineups.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson officially Questionable for Week 9

Tom Pelissero

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is officially questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Giants.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

This is a separate injury than Robinson (knee) was dealing with a couple of weeks ago, so this is unlikely just a flare-up. If BRob misses Week 9, consider Austin Ekeler a fringe RB2/3 with McNichols operating as a desperation flyer.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf officially Out Week 9

Ian Rapoport

yesterday · 4:24 PM EDT

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (MCL sprain) has been ruled out for Sunday.

Related Players: Jake Bobo, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett

Fantasy Impact:

Metcalf was sorely missed in Week 8, when no other receivers were able to step up outside of JSN going 6-69-0. Lockett, in particular, was a regrettable fantasy start, while Geno Smith had only 212 yards and zero touchdowns for the first time all season. Smith-Njigba is the only reliable part of the passing attack (along with Kenneth Walker) this week.
