Washington QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) to miss 6-8 weeks

Sep 13, 2021

Timeline update: WFT QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is being placed on injured reserve today, is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with the hip injury he suffered Sunday, per source.

Taylor Heinicke time.

Fantasy Impact:

The WFT said today they are going to stay in-house for their quarterback so they are expected to stick with Heinicke. It remains to be seen if Fitz is able to get his job back in that timeframe. If Heinicke is playing well, it's easy to see they continue to roll with Heinicke. Heinicke is worth a pickup in multi-QB and superflex leagues.

“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.
