Taylor Heinicke to undergo MRI but should play Week 15

Dec 12, 2021

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke will undergo an MRI on his knee Monday but is expected to be ready to play next week against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Ron Rivera said after the game the injury doesn’t look to be serious. Heinicke left Sunday’s loss against Dallas with the injury and was replaced by Kyle Allen. Heinicke finished 11/25 for 122 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Despite the loss, Washington still holds the final playoff spot in the NFC at 6-7 going into what is now a very important game in the playoff picture against the Eagles, who are also 6-7 and coming off a bye.

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.
