Lions RB Ameer Abdullah on the roster bubble

Jul 15, 2018

As characterized by an article appearing on the Lions’ official website (and of course that means nothing at all . . . other than it appears on the sliver of the Internet owned and operated by the Detroit Lions), RB Ameer Abdullah is on the roster bubble as training camp approaches.

Related players: LeGarrette Blount, Kerryon Johnson, Theo Riddick

Fantasy Impact:

As the story went on to say, the top of the depth chart will consist of veteran Blount, rookie second-rounder Johnson, and third-down-specialist-plus Riddick. Abdullah will need to win the fourth roster spot (or leapfrog one of the other three) in order to remain. That makes special teams a key for Abdullah, since any running back buried that deep will need to be able to do other things. And, as noted in the article, Abdullah spent time as the kick returner during offseason workouts.

“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.
