Peyton Manning to have key workout Saturday

Dec 26, 2015

Earlier this week, Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said Manning would have a "big workout" on Saturday to evaluate the quarterback's progress in his rehab from a partially torn plantar fascia in his left foot.

Manning has already been ruled out for Week 16. Brock Osweiler will make his sixth start of the season Monday night versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Impact:

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday on NFL Network that the Broncos are trying to gain understanding on two key questions: Will Peyton Manning be able to practice next week and will Peyton Manning ever be physically able to play for the Broncos again, the story said. Manning returned to practice on a limited basis last week, but suffered a setback and had to sit out last Friday. This week, prior to Saturday, the quarterback has only been able to rehab and throw on the side. Saturday marks a pivotal for Manning's future in Denver and possibly his NFL career. If it goes poorly, we could have seen the last of Manning in a Broncos jersey, the story speculates.

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.
