James Cook III News
Sunday, September 13, 2:29 PM
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III rushed for 57 yards on 13 carries during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Houston Texans. He also caught three of his four targets for an additional 12 receiving yards. The Bills eked out a win, but it mostly came on the shoulders of the passing attack, as Josh Allen threw for 334 yards and two touchdowns. Allen also vultured two rushing touchdowns from Cook. The 26-year-old ball-carrier was the overall RB6 with 17.8 fantasy points per game last season, so fantasy managers would have liked to see him replicate that level of production in Week 1. With that being said, the Texans have one of the best defensive fronts in football, so we understand why Cook had trouble getting going on the ground. He'll have another tough test next week against the Detroit Lions, who just held the Saints' running backs to a total of 80 rushing yards.

Ladd McConkey News
Tuesday, September 15, 9:39 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey will be evaluated this week after leaving Sunday's loss to the Cardinals with a rib injury, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. McConkey was originally listed with a chest injury, but further reporting has indicated an acute rib issue, and Rapoport notes it is not believed to be significant, adding that the third-year wideout is considered "day-to-day" and noting that it's an injury that can be played through. McConkey caught five of seven targets for 82 yards and a touchdown before exiting in the third quarter, and he appears to be a focal point of Mike McDaniel's offense. Los Angeles hosts the Raiders in Week 2, and fantasy managers will need to monitor McConkey's status throughout the week, as he boasts low-end WR1 upside if he's able to suit up.
