A tweet late Sunday night from colleague and NFL Insider extraordinaire Adam Schefter encapsulated one of the themes from Week 2 of the NFL season. There were seemingly innumerable running back injuries that will continue to bear monitoring as Week 3 of the NFL season progresses.Among the trickle-down impacts of these injuries is what they mean for fantasy football. Well dive into shuffling backfields and more in this weeks waiver-wire column.As usual, only players owned in less than 50 percent of leagues on ESPN.com are eligible for this column.Running back fill-insCameron Artis-Payne, RB, Carolina Panthers (1.9 percent). Yes, Artis-Payne was inactive in Week 2 and Fozzy Whittaker dashed for 100 yards on 16 carries. Artis-Payne was inactive because he offers a close skill set to Jonathan Stewart but doesnt add as much special-teams and change-of-pace value as Whittaker. He had 33 carries in three games to close out 2015, and Id expect Artis-Payne to get first dibs on carries until Stewart returns from a hamstring injury (the early indication from head coach Ron Rivera is Stewart will miss a week or two).Fozzy Whittaker, RB, Carolina Panthers (.8 percent). But Im not entirely ignoring Whittaker. Hes going to have value in this offense, and hes a worthy consideration in deeper leagues with PPR scoring. Its rarely crystal clear how a team will plan to make up for an injury to a key player, so if I had to choose one Panthers back it would be Artis-Payne, but Whittaker is certainly a name to note, too.Matt Asiata, RB, Minnesota Vikings (.2 percent). While we await more information on the timetable of Adrian Petersons return from what head coach Mike Zimmer announced as a torn right meniscus, the attention also turns to the next man up in Minnesota. In 2014, when Peterson was suspended for 15 games, Asiata compiled a respectable line of 882 combined rushing and receiving yards to go along with 10 total touchdowns. Hes not as talented or explosive as Jerick McKinnon, but he seems like a better bet for goal-line duties and should see double-digit touches on a per-game basis.Jerick McKinnon, RB, Minnesota Vikings (24.1 percent). I think McKinnon will be among the most added players this week, as hes a terrific athlete whose role should increase. And while I unquestionably believe his ceiling is higher than Asiatas if he gets the chance to see a consistent and expanded workload, a lack of touchdowns is a bit of a concern. In the aforementioned 2014 season, McKinnon had 140 touches (to Asiatas 208) but failed to find the end zone. Still, hes absolutely worth the add in any league.Jay Ajayi, RB, Miami Dolphins (44.1 percent). Identifying Ajayis value is something of a riddle right now, as he was at one point on track to be the starter in Miami. He was left home from the teams Week 1 game in Seattle and then put the ball on the ground in Week 2. He had an OK stretch in 2015, but its unclear how reliant Miami will be on him until Arian Foster (groin) returns to the field. He should be added in 12-team leagues or larger, but to begin the week Im not confident he should be in my starting lineup.Kenyan Drake, RB, Miami Dolphins (1.5 percent). Drake needs to be mentioned amid questions about Ajayis potential usage. Hes an excellent pass-catcher who probably best fits as a third-down, up-tempo back. But with Fosters injury and Ajayis ball-security issue in Week 2, perhaps Drake gets a shot at steadier work. Hes an add in PPR leagues 12 teams or larger.Dwayne Washington, RB, Detroit Lions (.3 percent). Washington, a rookie out of Washington, had a notable preseason and then plunged into the end zone as a short-yardage back in Week 1. With Ameer Abdullah (foot) banged up, Washington should see a role to help Theo Riddick in the Detroit backfield. In deep leagues, Washington is an intriguing add.Other addsQuincy Enunwa, WR, New York Jets (5.5 percent). He made this list last week and will continue to do so until he pushes past the 50 percent threshold. He has 13 catches through two games (on 14 total targets). The tight end is a virtually invisible part of the Jets passing offense. Theres room for three receivers to make a major impact, and hes great insurance if the knee injury suffered by Brandon Marshall in Week 2 limits his availability at all in Week 3.Tyrell Williams, WR, San Diego Chargers (43.4 percent). A popular pickup last week as owners of Keenan Allen worked to replace him in their lineups, Williams showed well in Week 2, hauling in three passes, including a long score. Hes fast and physical and should sustain an integral role in a passing offense that proved it can continue to click in Allens absence.Phillip Dorsett, WR, Indianapolis Colts (40.3 percent). Another guy who is a repeat on this list from last week, Dorsett could have a large role in the near future, as Donte Moncrief deals with a shoulder issue. If Moncrief misses any games, Dorsett would become a borderline top-35 play against the Chargers this Sunday.Victor Cruz, WR, New York Giants (42.3 percent). Its great to see Cruz back on the field and making plays for the G-Men, as he had a critical late-game catch to propel New York to a game-winning field goal. In a deeper league, Cruz merits consideration given the Giants heavy reliance on three-receiver sets.Shane Vereen, RB, New York Giants (35.6 percent). When the Giants look to pick up the tempo (or are playing from behind), the back that likely will see plenty of runs is Vereen. Hes an excellent pass-catcher but also led the team in rushes in Week 2 (14 in total). If you play in a points-per-reception league, Vereen could come into play as a flex running back. Moreover, Rashad Jennings has a left-wrist issue to keep an eye on.Anquan Boldin, WR, Detroit Lions (16.1 percent). Among the nine quarterbacks who have thrown the ball 79 times or more through two weeks, Id wager that Matthew Stafford is one of the three safer bets to sustain that pace of usage. That means good things for a lot of Detroit pass-catchers, including the ever-steady Boldin. A PPR add.Tyler Boyd, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (23.8 percent). Game flow helped Boyd a bit in Week 2, as Andy Dalton set a career high with 54 passing attempts in a catch-up effort vs. Pittsburgh. But Boyd -- who had eight targets and caught six passes -- has enough talent and opportunity ahead of him to stash him on your bench. The upside is there.Jamison Crowder, WR, Washington Redskins (3.2 percent). We saw quite a bit of Crowder as a rookie in 2015, and the early returns in 2016 are also promising: He has six catches in each of Washingtons first two games. Hes not going to be a big-play threat, and hes not going to snag a bunch of touchdowns. But the volume of his workload makes him a PPR asset to add.Kenneth Dixon, RB, Baltimore Ravens (12.1 percent). A hat tip to Matthew Berry for this one: We dont know when Dixon will be healthy enough to make his NFL debut, but hes an intriguing stash on your bench. The Ravens have the fifth-worst rushing offense on a per-carry basis early on this season. Dixon is a compelling talent who could earn a role sooner rather than later.Tight end fill-insNote: If you have Rob Gronkowski, Zach Ertz or Coby Fleener, who has struggled massively for New Orleans so far, here are some tight end options to consider.Jacob Tamme, TE, Atlanta Falcons (10.8 percent). Tamme has either tied or led the Falcons in targets in each of the teams first two games this season. He hauled in a Week 2 touchdown pass and is a nice Week 3 option facing a Saints defense that -- despite a solid showing this past Sunday -- is a favorable matchup.Dennis Pitta, TE, Baltimore Ravens (10.5 percent). Its great to see Pitta back on the field after an extended absence due to hip issues. He led the Ravens with 12 targets in Week 2, reminding us that he can be a terrific middle-of-the-field weapon.Jesse James, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers (20.1 percent). James is a tough cover because of his size (hes all of 6-foot-7) and has seen a steady role through two weeks (12 targets already). Playing in one of the best passing offenses in football is a boost for any pass-catcher.Trey Burton, TE, Philadelphia Eagles (.3 percent). The former college quarterback (turned utility player at Florida) has always had terrific athleticism. He hasnt always had a consistent offensive role, however, as he had just three career catches entering Week 2. With Ertz out, Burton managed five catches for 49 yards and a touchdown. Hes a deeper-league fill-in until Ertz returns.Vapormax Plus Moins Cher .

Sundays loss was the Jaguars ninth in a row, which is the most in franchise history in a single season.GM Dave Caldwell will have a news conference on Monday afternoon to announce an interim coach for the seasons final two games. Its likely to be offensive line coach Doug Marrone or defensive backs coach DeWayne Walker.I thanked Gus Bradley today for his commitment to the Jacksonville Jaguars over the past four seasons, owner Shad Khan said in a statement. As anyone close to our team knows, Gus gave his staff and players literally everything he had. Our players competed for Gus and I know they have great respect for him, as do I.Gus also represented the Jaguars, the Jacksonville community and the NFL in nothing less than a first-class manner as our head coach. That counts for a lot. It is unfortunately evident that we must make a change. I thought it would be best to do it immediately after todays result so Gus can step away, relax and regroup with his family during the Christmas and holiday season.Bradley was 14-48 (.226) in three-plus seasons with the Jaguars. The only coach with a worse winning percentage is Bert Bell (.190), who also was the Philadelphia Eagles owner.This was supposed to be the season that the Jaguars had a legitimate chance to win the AFC South, which is the worst division in the NFL. Khan said after the 2015 season that a winning record in 2016 was everybodys reasonable expectation.That didnt happen, and Sundays loss to the?Texans?was apparently Khans breaking point. The Jaguars intercepted Houston quarterback Brock Osweiler twice, and Jags return man?Marqise Lee returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, but the Jaguars managed just 150 yards of offense and blew a 20-8 third-quarter lead. They lost their sixth in a row to the Texans.I dont know, really, for anybody in this locker room how much more frustrated you can be, quarterback Blake Bortles said. Once again we had all the opportunities in the world, chances in the fourth quarter to score, and we just dont do it.The Jaguars havent won a game since Oct. 16, when they rallied to beat Chicago 17-16. Since then, the Jaguars have lost to Oakland, Tennessee, Kansas City, Houston, Detroit and Buffalo for the third six-game losing streak in Bradleys tenure. The Jaguars 33-16 loss to Oakland at EverBank Field on Oct. 23 prompted Khan to attend a team meeting the following day to ask the players why the Jaguars werent winning more games. Three days later, the Jaguars were embarrassed again on national television in a 36-22 loss at the Tennessee Titans.The Titans rolled up 354 yardss and 20 first downs and led 27-0 at halftime.dddddddddddd The Jaguars scored two garbage touchdowns to make the score seem less outrageous.Two days later, Bradley fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson and promoted quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett. The Jaguars offense has been marginally better in the four games since but still hasnt scored more than 21 points in any of those games.Before the season, everything appeared to be in place for the Jaguars to be competitive in the AFC South, especially after GM Dave Caldwell rebuilt the defense in the offseason. The unit ranked 26th or worse in scoring defense and 24th or worse in total defense from 2013-15 under Bradley. They gave up a franchise-record 449 points in 2013 and 448 points in 2015. From 2013-15 the Jaguars defense recorded the fewest interceptions in the NFL (26) and ranked 31st in scoring defense (27.3 points per game), 31st in third-down defense (43.8 percent) and 29th in total defense (375.0 yards per game).Thanks to several key offseason additions -- defensive tackle Malik Jackson, cornerback Prince Amukamara?and free safety Tashaun Gipson in free agency, and cornerback Jalen Ramsey and linebacker?Myles Jack in the first two rounds of the draft -- the defense has been better under first-time coordinator Todd Wash, whom Bradley promoted from defensive line coach after he fired longtime friend and defensive coordinator Bob Babich after last season.However, the offense, which carried the team a year ago, has been the problem. Quarterback Blake Bortles has not played well in 2016. After setting franchise records in passing yards (4,428) and passing TDs (35) in 2015, Bortles has struggled with turnovers (20) and hasnt made big plays in the passing game. He has regressed mechanically, and in October he brought in a personal throwing coach for two days to help him try to fix issues with his footwork and delivery.Bradley was Seattles defensive coordinator when Caldwell hired him to be the Jaguars fifth head coach in January 2013. Together they set out to rebuild a franchise that was coming off a 2-14 season and had one of the worst rosters in the NFL.Bradley went 4-12 in his first season and 3-13 in his second, with 19 of those 25 losses coming by double digits. After the 2014 season, Bradley fired offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch over what he said were philosophical differences relating to how much Fisch was asking Bortles to do within the offense. Bradley replaced Fisch with Olson, and Bortles and the offense flourished in 2015.The Jaguars were 5-11 last season and Khan announced in late December that Bradley would return in 2016, and after the season the owner gave Bradley a one-year extension through 2017.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
