Bengals TE Tyler Eifert a game-time call for TNF

Sep 27, 2016

In such a short week prepping for the Dolphins Thursday night, the Bengals are limited to a couple of walk-throughs instead of all-out practices, so it’s tough to get a gauge on where they stand with injuries.

What we do know is that head coach Marvin Lewis said after Tuesday’s walk-through that Pro Bowl tight end Tyler Eifert (ankle) is a game-time decision.

Fantasy Impact:

Eifert would be a risky fantasy play, because we do know HC Marvin Lewis said he will limit Eifert's snaps if he does play. That should at least mean he would see time in the red zone. Perhaps a wait-and-see approach is the best one, knowing Eifert is getting closer.

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.

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.
