Vernon Davis (concussion) and Maurice Harris (concussion) ruled out for Saturday
Davis didn’t appear on the Washington Redskins’ injury report all week, but he’s officially been ruled out of Saturday’s matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a concussion, while Harris will also be inactive because of a concussion. Harris has been mostly irrelevant in the Washington offense in recent weeks, totaling just four targets in the last three games. However, with both Davis and Jordan Reed unavailable, Jeremy Sprinkle will work as the featured tight end and may be worth a shot in daily fantasy formats on an abbreviated two-game slate.

Leonard Fournette to play Sunday
Fournette sounds like he will be active for Sunday’s game. It is impossible to trust him in cash games after sitting out all but 1 play of the 2nd half in that game. However he would be a shrewd GPP option if one were inclined to risk it.
