Stallworth suspended for 2009 season

Aug 13, 2009

The NFL has suspended Cleveland Browns receiver Donte' Stallworth without pay for the 2009 season because of violations of the league's substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies, the NFL announced this morning.

Stallworth will be reinstated after the Super Bowl in February 2010. He may not participate in any team activity during the 2009 season. He reacted to today's news on his account on Twitter.com, a social networking site:

"I'M A LITTLE WOUNDED, BUT I'M NOT SLAIN; I WILL LAY ME DOWN 4A WHILE 2 BLEED, THEN I'LL RISE & FIGHT WITH YOU AGAIN" -John Dryden," Stallworth wrote, invoking a quote by the 17th-Century British writer and poet.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
