Marshawn Lynch Injury Update: Probable And Should Be Starting In All Fantasy Leagues
SEATTLE, WA - SEPTEMBER 16: Running back Marshawn Lynch #24 of the Seattle Seahawks rushes against the Dallas Cowboys at CenturyLink Field on September 16, 2012 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images) Getty ImagesFantasy Impact: Lynch has a history of back spasms that date all the way back to his college days, so there’s a non-zero chance they could flare up the next couple days, but he should be fine. Lynch is Seattle’s best fantasy player and should have another fine game against GB’s weak run defense.

Read Article >Ryan Mathews Injury Update: Fantasy Value Uncertain In Season Debut
Getty ImagesFantasy Impact: Just how effective Mathews will be, and what kind of workload he will see is still unknown at this point. He has elite potential as a fantasy option when healthy, however owners may be wise not to rush the running back into their starting lineups. He should probably be weighed among several Flex options in standard leagues, at this point. Long-term, he will be eventually be an every-week option assuming he doesn’t suffer any setbacks.

Sep 9, 2012; Cleveland, OH, USA; Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson (33) during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Cleveland Browns Stadium. Philadelphia won 17-16. Mandatory Credit: David Richard-US PRESSWIRE Fantasy Impact: Trent Richardson has settled in as a top tier fantasy option, as he burst onto the scene in Week 2, flashing the power and agility that made him a top five pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Buffalo Bills provide Richardson with another favorable matchup, which he should be able to take advantage of.

Read Article >Greg Little Injury Update: Fantasy Status Probable Against Bills
Getty ImagesFantasy Impact: Little came into the regular season with some fantasy hype as a potential sleeper. Outside of a fourth quarter touchdown last week he has been somewhat of a dud, however. He was shut out of a reception in the season opener. He isn’t a bad player to stash on the bench in standard leagues, and may even be a starting option in leagues that start at least three wide receivers. He is hardly among the fantasy elite, however.

Read Article >Josh Cribbs Injury Update: Fantasy Value Dwindles With ‘Questionable’ Status
Getty ImagesFantasy Impact: The only fantasy impact this could have is if you planned on starting the Cleveland Browns’ defense/special teams this week. While they have a decent matchup against the Bills, starting the Browns defense is rarely advised. With Cribbs hobbled, they are an even less attractive option in fantasy football.

Read Article >Fred Jackson Injury Update: C.J. Spiller A Must-Start In Fantasy Leagues
Getty ImagesFantasy Impact: Spiller is a must-own, must-start in most fantasy football formats at the moment, especially against a Browns run defense that is giving up 4.2 yards per carry. Spiller has three touchdowns and nearly 300 yards rushing through two games. His workload may diminish when Jackson is able to return, but for now he is worth riding as an RB1.
