Cleveland Plain Dealer: Browns WR Donte' Stallworth rel...

Mar 18, 2009

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Browns WR Donte' Stallworth released a
statement through the team on Wednesday in which he expressed his
grief and prayers for an accident that killed a pedestrian last
Saturday morning. Stallworth was involved in an accident over the
weekend in which a car he was driving allegedly struck and killed
59-year-old Mario Reyes in Miami Beach. A Miami Herald report
stated that Stallworth appeared to drive his Bentley around a
stopped vehicle to beat a red light and struck Reyes, who was
walking to a bus stop from work as an overnight crane operator. A
separate report by Yahoo! Sports said that Stallworth is expected
to be charged in the accident. Driving under the influence,
vehicular manslaughter and reckless driving are among the possible
charges. The 28-year-old wide out has yet to be charged, though.
"My family and I are grief stricken over the tragic accident which
occurred Saturday on Miami Beach where Mario Reyes sadly lost his
life," said Stallworth in the statement. "My thoughts and prayers
are with the Reyes family during this incredibly difficult time.
Unfortunately, since this accident is still under police
investigation, I cannot comment further on the matter at this
time."

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
