Coogs in the Pros - Week 14

Thomas Gafford (DEN): Gafford continues to be solid as the Broncos long snapper in the Broncos 13-10 loss to the Titans. The Broncos made their only FG (34), XP, and had 5 punts for a 41.4 average with 2 downed inside the 20. Gafford also made a tackle in the game.
Kenneth Farrow (SD): Farrow saw a huge increase in his workload this week due to Melvin Gordon’s injury in the Chargers 28-16 loss to the Panthers. Farrow ran 16 times for 55 yards and caught 6 passes on 6 targets for 23 yards. Gordon is day-to-day with knee and hip strains and his status is unknown for next week; if he’s out, Farrow will probably share the load with Ronnie Hillman.
Nolan Frese (SEA): Frese did a good job in the Seahawks 38-10 loss to the Packers. Seattle was 1/1 on FG (28), 1/1 on XP, and had 4 punts for a 36.0 avg with 2 downed inside the 20.
Case Keenum (LA): Case didn’t see action in the Rams 42-14 loss to the Falcons. Jared Goff again struggled: 24-41 235 yards 0 TD 2 INT and sacked 3 times while rushing once for a 2 yard TD. Jeff Fisher was fired Monday as the Rams continued their late season slide.
Elandon Roberts (NE): Roberts was questionable this week with a hanstring injury and didn’t record any significant stats (may not have played) in the Patriots 30-23 win over the Ravens Monday night
Charles Sims (TB): Sims returned from IR in the Bucs 16-11 win over the Saints. Sims had 4 carries for 17 yards and 3 catches on 4 targets for 33 yards.
Injured Reserve: William Jackson III (Cin), Sebastian Vollmer (NE), DJ Hayden (Oak)
Practice Squad: Demarcus Ayers (Pit), Adrian McDonald (SD), Joey Mbu (Was), Lee Hightower (Was), Derrick Mathews (GB)

Next Week:

Thurs @ 7:25pm: Case Keenum (LA) at Nolan Frese (SEA) on NBC
Sun @ noon: Demarcus Ayers (PIT) at Cincinnati on CBS
Sun @ 3;25pm: Elandon Roberts (NE) at Thomas Gafford (DEN) on CBS
Sun @ 3:25pm: Kenneth Farrow (SD) vs. Oakland on CBS

  • On Monday, the Steelers announced that DeMarcus Ayers had been signed off the Practice Squad.
  • If Cincy had brought back William Jackson III a couple of weeks ago and DJ Hayden hadn’t gotten hurt last week, all 4 games would have had one Coog facing another Coog this coming week.

Good catch; guess he was their one IR activation. Hadn’t seen it on the transaction logs. I’ve updated the OP.

Lee Hightower was also cut today from the Redskins practice squad.

Kenneth Farrow interview as he prepares to possibly start this week (5:27):

RBs Farrow, Hillman look to lift Chargers

“I’m not too much of a scatback,” he said. “I can move, but I think my strength is my power and getting downhill and making guys miss tackles. So, any time I get a chance to square up a guy, and I don’t have open field, I’m trying to go through him and get those extra yards.”
