Ravens TE Nick Boyle suspended

Dec 07, 2015

Ravens rookie tight end Nick Boyle has been suspended for the final four regular season games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The league announced the suspension Monday. Boyle will be eligible to return to the active roster following the Ravens’ season finale on Jan. 3.

Boyle has 18 receptions for 153 yards this season. He was a fifth-round pick last spring who has seen significant action in part because injuries have become a tight end-dependent offense given their injuries at wide receiver.

Fantasy Impact:

It's big news because Crockett Gillmore was injured this week and Maxx Williams has been out of the lineup. This would leave the team with no TEs. The hope is Williams could return, but the banged up Ravens will certainly have to make a move this week.

“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.
