Pack's WR Jared Abbrederis stands out Saturday

Jul 30, 2016

There was no way Jared Abbrederis heard Mike McCarthy essentially discount the idea that the Green Bay Packers could keep seven receivers on the 53-man roster.

But he sure played like he did.

Abbrederis, likely one of the receivers on the proverbial roster bubble, made an early case for why he should warrant one of the five or six spots.

Fantasy Impact:

Jordy Nelson and Ty Montgomery haven't been cleared to practice and Abbrederis is getting to take advantage. The story was about the Packers possibly keeping seven WRs, but the Pack receivers do a nice job of being able to play everywhere, even Randall Cobb out of the backfield. But, McCarthy says the players dictate everything in the end.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.
