DeSean Jackson (ankle) out 6-8 weeks

Oct 24, 2020

Eagles WR DeSean Jackson suffered a non-displaced fracture in his ankle and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

It’s a similar injury to the one suffered by TE Dallas Goedert, who has already missed a few weeks and is not expected back until after the Eagles bye in Week 9. This timeframe puts Jackson on track to return somewhere between Weeks 13 and 15, right at the start of the fantasy playoffs. But at this point, it will certainly be tough to trust DJax during that run, especially with the Eagles having Travis Fulgham playing well and other receivers, including Jalen Raegor, should also be back by then. Jackson will be entering the final year of his contract with the Eagles in 2021 (provided the team decides to keep him).

“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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
