Rapoport: Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) 'longshot' to play on MNF

Dec 18, 2023

Ian Rapoport reported Geno Smith has to improve a lot in order to play in Week 15 against the Eagles on Monday night.

Related players: Drew Lock

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said there is a pretty good possibility that Lock makes the start against the Eagles on Monday night. Lock held his own against the 49ers last week, throwing for 269 yards, two TDs and two INTs, and does have a favorable matchup against an Eagles secondary that's been torched in recent weeks. We'll likely know more about Smith as the day goes on but as of now it looks like Lock could get the start.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.
