Knowshon Moreno dealing with a health issue

Jun 19, 2014

Miami Dolphins tailback Knowshon Moreno has a logical explanation for sparingly working during the team's minicamp sessions this week, and not participating in Thursday's controlled scrimmage.

Moreno, who accounted for 1,586 total yards and 13 touchdowns as the Denver Broncos starter last season, has been battling a medical issue according to a source.

The source wouldn't go into specifics about the injury, but said Moreno has been hindered by it for a couple of weeks and needs time off to recovery.

Fantasy Impact:

This explains why Moreno hasn't been given many reps in practice. He has been running with the second or third string or not practicing at all in team drills. Lamar Miller currently sits atop the depth chart.

“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.
