Raiders QB Derek Carr suffers broken fibula

Dec 25, 2016

Just when it seemed the Oakland Raiders were gaining momentum for a Super Bowl run, they lost their MVP candidate and team leader to a season-ending injury.

Derek Carr suffered a broken fibula in the fourth quarter of Oakland's win over the Colts on Saturday. Coach Jack Del Rio said Carr will likely undergo surgery on Sunday and is out indefinitely.

Carr later tweeted Saturday night, "I will bounce back and be on my feet in no time! Thank you for all of the love that you Raider Nation showed me in that stadium today. I will be back. This is a team sport! So everything WE want is still out there for us!" It's still a crushing blow for fantasy owners playing in Week 17, and obviously for the Raiders who were poised to make a Super Bowl run. Matt McGloin will take over with a week to prepare before the playoffs begin. Connor Cook is the team's QB3.

“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

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.

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.
