Cowboys hopeful WR Amari Cooper (ribs) plays on MNF

Sep 21, 2021

No update from Jerry Jones this morning on Cowboys WR Amari Cooper’s bruised ribs. “I don’t know today. I’m hopeful those ribs can get comfortable enough to play (Monday night).”

Related players: CeeDee Lamb

Fantasy Impact:

As we said Monday, owners will have to monitor the status of Cooper this week. We also reported Monday Cooper could end up being limited even if he plays in Week 3, which, to make matters worse is a Monday night game. Lamb could be in store for a big workload if Cooper has to miss any time as Michael Gallup is on IR. Cooper could end up being a gametime call.

“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.
