  49ers | San Francisco taking a look at veteran RBs    Tue Sep 13, 05:00 PM

Free-agent RBs Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, Nate McCrary, Abram Smith, La'Mical Perine and Godwin Igwebuike worked out for the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Free-agent Marlon Mack also visited with the 49ers.

Footballguys view: The interest in veteran RBs makes sense with Elijah Mitchell on Injured Reserve. Jeff Wilson will serve as the team's starter with rookies Jordan Mason and Tyrion Davis-Price working as reserves in the 49ers' backfield.

  Saints | New Orleans reuniting with Latavius Murray    Tue Sep 13, 04:59 PM

Free-agent RB Latavius Murray (Ravens) was signed to the practice squad of the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Footballguys view: The Saints weren't effective on the ground against the Falcons in Week 1. Mark Ingram did not play well, and Alvin Kamara seemed to have a ribs injury. Perhaps Murray could get elevated to the active roster and get some playing time as a runner and receiver out of the backfield.

  49ers | Elijah Mitchell put on injured reserve    Tue Sep 13, 04:54 PM

San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Footballguys view: The 49ers will keep chugging along on offense with RB Jeff Wilson as their lead back. Without Mitchell as the starter, backup (UDFA rookie) Jordan Mason will get more time behind Wilson as well. The 49ers also have 2022 third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price on the depth chart behind Wilson and Mason. As 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said, these rookies (Mason, Davis-Price) will have to grow up fast.

  Patriots | Ty Montgomery headed to IR    Tue Sep 13, 04:50 PM

New England Patriots RB Ty Montgomery (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Sept. 13. WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey was signed off the practice squad to replace him on the roster.

Footballguys view: Montgomery was supposed to be the team's replacement for James White (retired). Instead, he's going to IR and the Patriots are going to turn to Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson more on passing downs.

  Rams | Kyren Williams lands on IR    Tue Sep 13, 03:08 PM

Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Footballguys view: Williams has talent, but the rookie just can't shake the injury bug. Instead of working into the RB rotation, Williams will be shut down with a 6-8 week timetable for recovery from his high-ankle sprain. Jake Funk will now serve as the Rams' no.3 back behind Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson.

  Texans | Dameon Pierce to be more involved    Tue Sep 13, 02:36 PM

Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce played a meager 20 of 70 offensive snaps in Week 1, but head coach Lovie Smith intends to get him playing time moving forward.'Some of the other things we did in the game, looking on the offensive side of the football, I understand how many plays Dameon Pierce played. The plan of course was for him to get more. You get into the game and situations make you go a little bit different direction. You learn from those mistakes like that, mistakes of those situations that you look at the day after,' Smith said.

Footballguys view: We saw more from Rex Burkhead in Week 1. The team travels to play the Broncos in Week 2, and there will be an opportunity to get the rookie more touches. We'll keep Pierce on the roster, but don't trust him until you see him break out.

  Browns | Cleveland adds Chester Rogers to practice squad    Tue Sep 13, 01:40 PM

Free-agent WR Chester Rogers (Texans) was signed to the practice squad of the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Footballguys view: Rogers is a quicker-than-fast wide receiver who can work on underneath routes. He'll try to impress the Browns on the practice squad to see if he can get called up to the active roster.

  Vikings | Irv Smith's Week 1 role based on game plan    Tue Sep 13, 01:20 PM

Minnesota Vikings TE Irv Smith will play 'a major role for us,' but his Week 1 usage was based on game plan and not health, according to comments made by head coach Kevin O'Connell.'Those guys all know how we operate. We're a game-to-game, week-to-week operation,' O'Connell said.

Footballguys view: If you're thinking about shutting down Smith on your fantasy roster, perhaps this news item will reinforce that notion. Smith is coming back from injury, but the team felt others were the best way to attack the Packers. There will be weeks where Smith is a larger part of the game plan. When that will happen is the guessing game we are in right now.

  Seahawks | Kenneth Walker III should play in Week 2    Tue Sep 13, 01:05 PM

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III (hernia) will play in Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Footballguys view: That's good news for the Seahawks, coming off their big win in Week 1 against the Broncos. On Monday night, Rashaad Penny led the way on the ground with 60 yards on just 12 carries. Overall, the Seahawks only had 19 carries in Week 1. That number will grow with a different plan in Week 2. One plan that includes Walker for the first time this season. Stash him on your bench, and know there could be some flex appeal for the rookie in an RBBC with Penny. If/when Penny is banged up, Walker has RB2 upside for Fantasy GMs.

  Chargers | Keenan Allen likely out Week 2    Tue Sep 13, 12:39 PM

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is likely out for Week 2, but the tests provided optimism he could just miss one game.

Footballguys view: This is expected because of the injury, but also because the Chargers play on Thursday night against the Chiefs. We'll see guys like WR Mike Williams and Josh Palmer do more without Allen on the field. Behind them, WRs DeAndre Carter and Jalen Guyton could get more snaps as well.

  Steelers | Najee Harris says he's playing    Tue Sep 13, 10:57 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (foot) said he'll be playing in Week 2.

Footballguys view: The news about Harris has been positive since he aggravated his Lisfranc injury on Sunday against the Bengals. The Steelers' offense looked out of sync, and it was their defense that lead the way to the big win on the road. In Week 2, the Steelers face the Patriots and Harris should be the primary back. Behind him, Jaylen Warren is there to do more if asked.

  Cowboys | Dak Prescott not going on IR    Tue Sep 13, 09:37 AM

Updating previous reports, Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (thumb) won't be going on the Reserve/Injured list, owner Jerry Jones said.

Footballguys view: A bit of a surprise, but Prescott received a positive report following surgery Monday, Sept. 12, and could return in four to six weeks. The team believes he can play within the next four games. Cooper Rush will get to start while Prescott is out. Fantasy GMs in superflex leagues can add Rush to their roster.

  Falcons | Damien Williams avoids injury    Tue Sep 13, 12:50 AM

Atlanta Falcons RB Damien Williams (ribs) suffered an injury to his ribs in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints, although he said Monday, Sept. 12 that he is sore, but no ribs are broken.

Footballguys view: The Falcons' rushing attack was all about Cordarrelle Patterson in Week 1. Rookie Tyler Allgeier was a healthy scratch on Sunday, and we'll see if the team decides to activate him against the Rams in Week 2. Even if Williams can play, it might be wise to have another RB at the ready to at least give Patterson a breather.
