Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) misses practice

Oct 14, 2021

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

There is still no definitive word on if the missed practice was due to a simple maintenance day or if CMC suffered a setback. We should get more clarity on this situation tomorrow afternoon when the Panthers take the field for practice. There was optimism that he would make his return this week, but the missed practice has set off the alarm bells. After Wednesday's session, CMC was tabbed as 50-50 by head coach Matt Rhule (he does not talk to the media on Thursdays). Chuba Hubbard has looked like a steal since taking over the lead back duties and is currently our 14th ranked running back for Week 6.

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

“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.

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.
