WR Rishard Matthews asks for release from Titans

Sep 26, 2018

On Wednesday evening, Rishard Matthews posted to his Instagram page, "When Daddy’s home for good. That is unless someone Calls him to get off the couch." He followed that up with a text to A to Z Sports Nashville saying, "Everything is good! Just wasn't happy with what was going on, barely getting any playing time. It was time to move on."

Fantasy Impact:

This surprise move has little immediate impact on the Titans from a fantasy standpoint as Matthews wasn't seeing much playing time anyway. It may help the potential for a Taywan Taylor breakout, but only minimally so. The bigger story here is where Matthews lands. A wide receiver-needy team like Dallas makes sense and would give Matthews immediate value as a WR3/WR4 with WR2/WR3 upside. Other teams that could use Matthews may include Houston, Indianapolis, Oakland, New Orleans, Carolina, Seattle and Arizona, among others. His value to fantasy owners will vary wildly depending on where he ends up, but if you have bench space, he is a great speculative add.

49ers TE George Kittle "good to go" for Week 12

“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.
