Tai Felton to Have Larger Role with Jefferson Out

Saturday, October 3, 8:34 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton is expected to see a larger role in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Star wideout Justin Jefferson suffered an ankle sprain that has ruled him out, leaving Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, and Felton as the receivers with significant roles. The second-year receiver had two targets but no receptions in the 23-16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, yet he played 55% of the snaps and 65% of the routes after Jefferson left the game early. He faces a Dolphins defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, but also the seventh-most passing yards. With a limited role behind Addison and Jennings still expected, Felton is not fantasy-relevant despite the increased role with Jefferson inactive.

Keandre Lambert-Smith News

Chargers Place Ke'Andre Lambert-Smith on Injured Reserve

Tuesday, September 15, 3:34 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Tuesday that they placed wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) on Injured Reserve and signed receiver Gary Jennings in a corresponding move. Lambert-Smith injured his hamstring in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and will now be forced to miss at least the next four games. The earliest he will be eligible to return to the Chargers' active 53-man roster will be for the Week 6 divisional clash against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 18. With top wideout Ladd McConkey (rib) also banged up coming out of the season opener, the Bolts could be down to Quentin Johnston and Tre' Smith as their top receivers this weekend for a Week 2 tilt against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Lambert-Smith did not play a single snap on offense on Sunday before getting injured.
