Titan running game remains split

Dec 08, 2015

The Tennessee Titans pledged to give David Cobb about half the load in the running game Sunday against Jacksonville.

And the rookie running back's workload did come out dead even in the Titans’ third win of the season.

Starter Antonio Andrews had 13 carries and turned them into 58 yards and Cobb had 13 for 40 yards.

It was quarterback Marcus Mariota, however, who starred in the rushing offense, with nine carries for 112 yards including a fantastic 87-yard touchdown run that put the Titans ahead for good with 8:30 on the game clock.

Fantasy Impact:

HC Mike Mularkey said said the Titan running backs can do a better job. The fear when Cobb arrived on the scene was Andrews' workload would continue to be limited, and it has. Titan backs are risky plays outside of very deep leagues and it looks like they are going to continue to not feature one back.

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%.
