Arian foster game time decision

Ben Tate was a possible flex option with everyone on deck; now he's a RB2 on paper and perhaps a RB1 if Foster is scratched on game day. Foster will be buried in my Week 1 update, though a final decision really can't be made until we hear Sunday's news.

This underscores why it's just about pointless to set a fantasy lineup several days in advance. You need to see the flow of the practice week, and in many cases wait until game day. Foster, of course, says he expects to play. The athletes always say that. With all respect to No. There's also a situation in Carolina we have to monitor; Jonathan Stewart ankle missed the entire practice week and is listed as questionable, though context clues point to him not playing.

It's a fine time to be dialing up DeAngelo Williams , I suppose. Even if Peterson is able to play, there's no guarantee he'd get more touches than teammate Toby Gerhart. I'd sit Peterson on any of my teams if I actually owned him , unless the alternatives were borderline unplayable.

Cleveland's coaching staff seems optimistic on Richardson being able to play, and context clues point to him starting. Let's confirm that on Sunday. Wells says he's going to give it a go, as most players are wont to do. Whether it's Wells or Ryan Williams or both toting the rock Sunday, the holes could be hard to find — Seattle has a decent rushing defense and Arizona's offensive line is dreadful.

Journeyman Ronnie Brown is the fallback. Highly-regarded rookie Robert Turbin is the primary fallback. Chris Rainey is another running back on the roster. Johnson also is facing a showdown with Darrelle Revis , though he did well against New York last year 11 catches, yards, one score over two games. Given how many head injuries Collie has been through, I don't see how he can be started on fantasy rosters right now.

Donnie Avery could see more reps if Collie is limited. Golden Tate knee won't dress at Arizona, which means Braylon Edwards will start. Given the league-wide depth at tight end, you don't want to risk anything with Keller. Each player was a limited participant in practice for the balance of the week. The suspended coaches and executives are still out of commission, however. The Colts were once and had won three in a row to put themselves in excellent position. The Houston Texans may move quickly to fill their head coaching vacancy after firing David Culley on Thursday.

But regardless, Diontae Johnson is going into the postseason with plenty of confidence. Kirby Smart and Dan Lanning have a good relationship. Lanning coached the Georgia defense on its way to a national championship, and Smart will be well aware of that. Despite that, Smart is leaving no room for sentimentality as Lanning tak. The Detroit Pistons are hearing it after voiding their recent trade for Bol Bol. The Pistons agreed to a deal with the Denver Nuggets this week to acquire the seven-footer Bol in exchange for guard Rodney McGruder and a second-round pick.

Shohei Ohtani already won AL MVP honors in with arguably the most extraordinary individual season that baseball had seen in over a century. Getting their offensive workhorse back as early as Sunday would be a huge lift in that endeavor.

The Texans fired head coach David Culley on Thursday after one season with the team. The year-old got his first head coaching opportunity in Houston in , but it lasted just one campaign in which the Texans finished Chris Ballard spoke at length with reporters Thursday following Indianapolis' stunning, season-ending drubbing at the hands of the Jaguars.

He was blunt in his assessment of the team and. Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters that J. Watt was "very limited" in his return to practice ahead of Monday's wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Steelers could be receiving some receiving reinforcements for the postseason. John Brown is back in the NFL just in time for a run to a ring.

The WR signed with the Buccaneers this week.
