Cardinals WR John Brown (quad) out for Week 2.

Related players: J.J. Nelson, Jaron Brown, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Ellington

Fantasy Impact:

Jaron Brown could surprise, Nelson is the most obvious beneficiary. Since 2015, in the three games in which Nelson has played and Brown has missed, Nelson has averaged 2.3 receptions for 54 yards and 0.33 touchdowns, while adding 20 yards and 0.33 touchdowns as a runner. This adds up to 13.7 fantasy points in PPR formats. Given the great matchup with a very shaky Colts secondary, Nelson is a nice WR4 dart throw. We may also see more Andre Ellington in the passing game.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.
