Cooper Rush dealing with back spasms

Atlanta Falcons QB Cooper Rush (back) experienced back spasms Saturday, Sept. 12, but is still expected to start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1.

Why it Matters: Not that Rush had any fantasy appeal to begin with, but the fact that he will be playing through a back issue only makes life tougher on Atlanta's quarterback. The situation is far from ideal, and fantasy owners may want to temper expectations for the entire Falcons' offense.
