WFT could be without four offensive players Week 5

Oct 08, 2021

The Washington Football Team will be without WRs Dyami Brown (knee) and Cam Sims (hamstring) according to Nicki Jhabvali of The Washington Post. RB Antonio Gibson (stress fracture in shin) and WR Curtis Samuel (groin) are questionable.

Fantasy Impact:

That is a lot of wide receiver depth in question behind Terry McLaurin. Samuel did not play well in his first action of the season Week 4 and may have lingering issues with the groin injury that landed him on IR.

If Gibson would to miss the game, Jaret Patterson would see a boost and J.D. McKissic would carry the ball more than normal.

“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.

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.
