Chargers WR Mike Williams injures shoulder

Aug 23, 2020

Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams didn’t make it through Sunday’s practice and he’ll be spending time with doctors as a result.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Williams is headed for tests on his shoulder.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams went down on his right arm while trying to make a catch in Sunday’s practice and left the field after going down. Rapoport adds that Williams’ collarbone was not injured and that the team is optimistic that he avoided a serious injury. Any absence will increase the opportunities for Jennings, Reed and Hill to see time with Keenan Allen at wideout. We just had a story earlier Sunday about the rest of the Charger WRs who are looking to earn the WR3 job this season. With Williams out, it could be an opportunity for multiple WRs to step up.

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.
