Bears WR Cameron Meredith suffered a thumb injury, should be OK for camp

Jun 01, 2017

‪Bears WR Cameron Meredith suffered thumb ligament injury today, will miss off-season program, but expects to be ready for camp, per sources.‬

Fantasy Impact:

Meredith began to play starter’s snaps in Week 5, and from that point on, he averaged 5.0 catches for 70 yards and 0.33 TD, or 14.0 PPR fantasy points per game. That’s what Demaryius Thomas scored as the #16 receiver in that scoring format. The numbers are especially impressive considering Meredith had a three-week stretch from Week 7 to Week 10 where he only saw two targets per game. Meredith figures to be the top fantasy receiver in Chicago, but it won’t help that he’s missing crucial reps with new QB Mike Glennon.

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.
