DAL: RB Barber still iffy this week

Sep 30, 2009

Cowboys RB Marion Barber did not play against the Panthers because of a left quadriceps injury, and on Tuesday, coach Wade Phillips was not ready to say that Barber would be able to play against the Broncos.

That leaves the Cowboys with one tailback who's 100 percent healthy in Tashard Choice. It also leaves open the possibility of Chauncey Washington being called up from the practice squad.

"I'm not Carnac," Phillips said. "You want me to say definitely this guy is going to play and this guy isn't.

"There's no way you can tell [the Broncos] that. It's all real subjective in the first place and then it's individual with each player and how quickly they come back and how serious the injury is. I can't predict that."

“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.
