Bryce Love could be who he once was

Sep 04, 2020

Washington RB Bryce Love continues to improve despite not sticking out during training camp, according to John Keim of ESPN. "There's a feeling that in a couple of months he could perhaps get close to what he once was at Stanford," wrote Keim. "Early on in Washington's season, it's likely he would have a reduced role."

Head coach Ron Rivera was quoted as saying, "Don't fall asleep on Bryce."

Fantasy Impact:

The news is not ideal short-term, but it is good to get confirmation from Washington's coaching staff that Love is showing signs of the runner he was at Stanford. Love's injury history is a major red flag that will only be mitigated by staying off the injury report and aided with strong play when given the opportunity. His value appears to be as a bye-week fill-in as long as he is on the field, but the optimism is welcomed.

“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

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.

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.
