Knowshon Moreno (knee) to have surgery, out 4-5 weeks

Jun 24, 2014

Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno is going to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.

He'll be out four to five weeks. That means he could miss the start of training camp and possibly the first preseason game or two.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a setback for Moreno who showed up to camp out of shape and will have trouble getting into football shape while he's rehabbing knee surgery. Lamar Miller looks like the RB1, at least to start the season. He's capable of fantasy RB2 numbers if the team shows faith in him. Last year, he didn't get consistent touches, but there is a new offensive coordinator (Bill Lazor, formerly of Philadelphia) and Miller might be a (very) poor man's LeSean McCoy.

“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.
