Tony Moeaki stepping up for Bears

Aug 04, 2016

The two reserve tight ends who have stood out in training camp to me are Tony Moeaki and Greg Scruggs.

With Zach Miller sidelined due to a concussion, Moeaki has helped fill the void as a pass catcher, making several receptions, including a couple for touchdowns. The Wheaton native had a great rookie season with the Chiefs in 2010, but his career has been derailed by injuries.

Fantasy Impact:

Scruggs is playing TE as a former defensive end and has taken the most steps according to Jay Cutler, who was quoted in the story. Miller is still sidelined with a concussion which is allowing others to step up in his place. Moeaki obviously has the most experience at the position and would seem to be next in line if Miller remains out.

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.
