Belief is Jets QB Geno Smith has torn ACL

Oct 24, 2016

Jets quarterback Geno Smith apparently has a torn ACL — an injury that almost certainly would sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Based on an initial MRI examination Smith received Monday, the "belief" is that Smith sustained a torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Ravens, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact:

Ryan Fitzpatrick — whom Smith just replaced last week as the Jets' starting quarterback — relieved Smith and played the remainder of the game. Sunday marked Smith's first start since the 2014 finale. And he didn't even make it to halftime. Smith is in the final year of his rookie contract, and likely his final season with the Jets organization, the story said.

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.
