Seahawks trade WR Jermaine Kearse for Sheldon Richardson

Sep 01, 2017

The Seahawks have reportedly found their replacement for injured second-round pick Malik McDowell on the defensive line — and it was apparently a long time coming.

Leading up to Saturday’s 53-man roster deadline, Seattle dealt receiver Jermaine Kearse, a second-round pick and a seventh-round pick to the Jets for 26-year-old defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson and their seventh-rounder, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first on the trade happening. Rapoport added the clubs had been discussing the deal since mid-August.

Fantasy Impact:

This move confirms what we already knew: Kearse had fallen behind Tyler Lockett and Paul Richardson on the depth chart. He may end up starting for the receiver-depleted Jets, but doesn't have much fantasy value at this point.

“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.

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.
