Nov 19, 2018

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson sprained his knee Sunday but doesn't need surgery and will be week-to-week, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Related players: Theo Riddick, LeGarrette Blount, Zach Zenner

Fantasy Impact:

Reports this afternoon now list Johnson as out for Week 12, which isn't a surprise considering it's a short week. Johnson has 103 carries for 554 yards and two touchdowns along with 30 catches for 203 yards and a touchdown. Prior to the injury, Johnson had 15 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown along with two catches for 10 yards against the Panthers. Riddick and Blount will most likely handle a majority of the RB duties in Week 12. He may have a chance to play in Week 13.

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.
