Bills QB Tyrod Taylor 'may need surgery' on groin

Dec 29, 2016

Tyrod Taylor may need surgery to repair a groin/sports hernia injury. Shouldn't impact free agency at all once Bills decline his option.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bills have seemingly chilled on Taylor, benching him in Week 17 in favor of E.J. Manuel to protect themselves from a Taylor injury that would cost the franchise millions. Taylor is reportedly (and wisely) preparing his exit strategy out of Buffalo. In 19 games over the last two years with a semi-healthy Sammy Watkins, Taylor has averaged 8.8 YPA (which is elite), 1.47 pass TD and just 0.42 interceptions. It will be interesting to see where he lands in 2017.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

49ers TE George Kittle "good to go" for Week 12

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
