Russell Wilson has chance to return in four weeks

Oct 10, 2021

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (finger) has a chance to return in four weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Four weeks would be earlier than the original thought from doctors that he could miss six weeks. "That's now the hope and, depending on some other factors, that's possible," according to Schefter's article. Four weeks is the best-case scenario for Wilson and the Seahawks. If that's the case, then he would only miss three games. Seattle has their bye in Week 9, so a return off the bye in Week 10 against the Packers is now possible. For now, it'll be Geno Smith against the Steelers, Saints and Jaguars. Smith went 10/17 for 131 yards with one touchdown and one interception on Thursday against the Rams. Week 6 against the Steelers will be the first game Wilson has ever missed since coming into the NFL in 2012, snapping a streak of 149 consecutive games played.

“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.

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.
