Everybody knows one of the keys to being a good running...

Jul 06, 2014

Everybody knows one of the keys to being a good running back is vision.

The Titans Antonio Andrews can relate. He’s coming into the NFL with eyes wide open.

“When you don’t get drafted, people don’t expect you to make it in the NFL,” he said. “I understand that. But I feel like I’m going to make it. I really do.”

In less than three weeks, Andrews will enter the Titans’ training camp as an endangered species — an undrafted rookie free agent. The odds are stacked against him. And he knows it.

Andrews raised a few eyebrows during mini-camp sessions. Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt has made it clear he likes players with versatility. Andrews fits the mold. He did a little bit of everything at Western Kentucky — and he did everything well.

Fantasy Impact:

Even if Andrews makes the team, he'll have some hurdles to clear before being fantasy relevant. Of course there is rookie Bishop Sankey who looks to be the starter and vet Shonn Greene could be the backup, although the story said he's not guaranteed a roster spot. Jackie Battle has been working as a fullback which should help his chances of staying on the roster and Dexter McCluster will see time all over the field.

Chargers set to open window for RB J.K. Dobbins (knee)

Chargers will be opening J.K. Dobbins' 21-day window today, Jim Harbaugh tells reporters.

Related players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has been on IR for the past four games with a knee injury. He's not a lock to play this week and he's not a lock for a safe workload even if he does play. The Chargers travel to New England in Week 17, so the matchup isn't a bad one. It's an early window game on Sunday, so owners should have plenty of notice. We'll also keep an eye on the practice reports this week.

Dolphins unsure of WR Jaylen Waddle's (knee) status for Week 17

McDaniel non-committal on whether Jaylen Waddle (knee) will practice this week: "I'm expecting to get everything from Waddle that he can do... I've [talked to] the trainer to make sure we protect him from himself. We will see how the week progresses. I don't know exactly what it will look like."

Fantasy Impact:

Waddle owners should probably not count on Waddle for Week 17, or at the very least have a backup plan. Waddle and the Dolphins play the Browns in the later window on Sunday so it could further complicate things for owners who were hoping to play him.

Texans WR Tank Dell tore ACL, dislocated knee

DeMeco Ryans says WR Tank Dell tore his ACL along with dislocating his knee.

Fantasy Impact:

No surprises here as it was a terrible injury to watch during the game. While he's obviously out for the season, the bigger question is what will his status be for 2025. It's a huge question mark at this point given the seriousness of the injury. Even if Dell is able to play next season, he may take a while to get back to 100%.
