Cardinals sign TE Richard Rodgers to practice squad

Oct 12, 2021

The Cardinals signed TE Richard Rodgers to their practice squad.

Rodgers spent the bulk of his career with the Green Bay Packers, who drafted him in the third round in 2014.

Now with the Cardinals, Rodgers could be moved to the active roster but would have to leap-frog current tight ends Demetrius Harris and Darrell Daniels to earn playing time.

Fantasy Impact:

No update was given on Williams the story said, but reports say he will likely miss time with a serious knee injury, perhaps the rest of the season. Williams was starting to emerge at the position, but Rodgers doesn't bring a lot of fantasy excitement as a potential replacement. However Rodgers did catch 85 passes with the Packers in 2015, a career high. The team could still look outside the organization for another option, as we reported in an earlier news item.

“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.
