Eagles plan to "spy" on Seahawks QB Russell Wilson

Dec 04, 2014

Against Cam Newton, it was Eagles outside linebacker Connor Barwin who was tasked with tracking the quarterback's every move. He said Wednesday it's likely he could be tasked to do it again Sunday against Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.

When asked about dealing with a mobile quarterback, Barwin said, "I'm sure that the spying will be part of the game plan."

Fantasy Impact:

Spying seemed to work against Newton, who rushed for six yards on three carries, but Colin Kaepernick managed 58 yards on seven carries against the Eagles. If Philadelphia devotes a player to containing Wilson's feet, then that's one fewer defender they have defending the pass.

“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.
