Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (MCL) feels he'll be ready for Week 10

Nov 08, 2016

Jets coach Todd Bowles expressed confidence that Bryce Petty will be ready to start at quarterback against the Rams this weekend if the team decides that Ryan Fitzpatrick is not sufficiently healed from the sprained MCL in his left knee by the time Sunday rolls around.

Fitzpatrick reportedly doesn’t think the team will need to give Petty his first professional start. Ed Werder of ESPN reports that the veteran believes he will be healthy enough to start on Sunday, which doesn’t come as much of a surprise since we’re already aware of how hard it is to shake Fitzpatrick’s belief in himself.

Fantasy Impact:

Fitzpatrick also believes he’ll be healthy enough to practice on Wednesday, Thursday and/or Friday as Bowles said that seeing how he moves in those sessions will be a prerequisite to getting another start.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
