Bears WR Kevin White expected to undergo surgery

Oct 10, 2016

Already added to injured reserve, the news that Bears WR Kevin White will undergo surgery to help repair a fractured fibula only solidifies the fact that he will be a non-factor for most of this season.

Already ineligible to return until Week 13, the Bears hope that surgery can expedite White's recovery and have him back on the field some time in December.

Fantasy Impact:

With White added to IR, he is droppable in all formats. Even if he does return after Week 13, he is not a player that you would consider starting in the fantasy playoffs. Eddie Royal and Cameron Meredith, who exploded for 130 yards and a score in Week 5, should be added in all formats and will offer WR3/Flex value throughout the season.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
