Eagles sign RB LeGarrette Blount

May 17, 2017

Eagles and RB LeGarrette Blount agree to terms on a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact:

It looked like Blount might return to New England, but he'll join Darren Sproles, Wendell Smallwood and Donnel Pumphrey in Philadelphia. Ryan Mathews is still on the roster, though the working assumption is that he'll eventually be a cap casualty. Blount is a good fit personnel-wise for the Eagles, and his arrival is bad news for Smallwood and Pumphrey, who are vying for touches alongside Sproles. In New England, the signing is very good news for Mike Gillislee and Rex Burkhead, who figure to replace Blount's production in the lineup. Gillislee looks like a terrific value since he's likely the goal line back.

“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.
