Shaun Draughn (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, then he was upgraded for full participation on Friday. He is questionable to face the Buccaneers.
Shaun Draughn Injury Update: Ankle Injury Shouldn’t Limit Fantasy Value
Shaun Draughn (ankle) is expected to play. We break down the fantasy implications.
John Rieger-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire
Draughn has a 4.7 YPC this season on his 34 carries for 159 yards. He has not scored yet and also added 11 catches in the passing game.
Fantasy Impact: Draughn is going to play and his ankle injury isn't as bad as Peyton Hillis' ankle. Draughn was even getting carries before the Hillis injury and saw 12 carries in Week 5's contest against the Ravens.
He might be busy against the Bucs with Brady Quinn at the helm. It wouldn't be a stretch at all to think that he will see 15 carries, so at a near 5.0-YPC clip, that puts him at 75 yards. He might be able to score with Tampa giving up their fair share of points. He's still nothing more than a flex at this point, though.
