Redskins RB group gets more crowded

Nov 01, 2016

The Redskins just promoted RB Mack Brown off the practice squad.

HC Jay Gruden said last week that he and Rob Kelley were in a close competition at the end of the summer, but they opted for the latter on the opening day roster.

The Redskins say they can mix and match their backs depending on the situation.

Fantasy Impact:

This isn't great news from a fantasy perspective and we feel the Skins running game takes a fantasy hit if there isn't one clear back. With Brown now possibly in the mix, that makes four. Jones was injured last week and the addition of Brown could mean Jones won't be ready after the team's bye this week, so it's a situation worth monitoring.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantasy Impact:

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

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
