Ravens getting thin at TE, WR

Aug 08, 2016

By the end of Monday's practice, the Ravens were left with just one tight end (Benjamin Watson) who wasn't injured or facing suspension, and nearly half of their wide receivers are sidelined.

The Ravens' tight end group was hit hard again Monday, when Maxx Williams and Daniel Brown both left practice early. Williams suffered a noncontact injury, and Brown took a vicious shot to the chin from cornerback Sam Brown.

Coach John Harbaugh initially indicated Williams' injury wasn't serious.

Crockett Gillmore injured his hamstring on July 29 and hasn't returned. Dennis Pitta has been out since spraining his finger on Monday. With Williams and Brown hurt, the Ravens were down to Watson, Darren Waller and Nick Boyle in Monday's practice.

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens aren't faring much better at the wide receiver position. Of the team's 12 receivers, there are five dealing with injuries: Steve Smith Sr. (Achilles), Breshad Perriman (knee), Michael Campanaro (undisclosed), Chris Moore (lower left leg) and Chris Matthews (undisclosed).

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
