Ravens sign Dallas Clark

Aug 11, 2013

TE Dallas Clark and the Ravens agreed in principle to a deal Sunday, the team announced.

Clark always has been more slot receiver than traditional tight end. Now that he's no longer capable of consistently getting open down the seam, his value is limited.

Fantasy Impact:

Clark is now 34 and is coming off 47-catch season in Tampa Bay where he finished with 435 yards. With TEs Dennis Pitta lost for the season and Ed Dickson battling a hamstring injury, the Ravens are desperate for someone who can play the position and catch the ball. As the story pointed out, he struggles to get open, but the hope is he regains some fire under OC Jim Caldwell. There are going to be better fantasy options than Clark and this move could also mean Dickson's value takes a dip.

“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.
