Patriots WR Chris Hogan (shoulder) ruled OUT for Week 13

Dec 01, 2017

Hogan has been ruled out for the Patriots' Week 13 contest versus the Buffalo Bills. It will be the fourth straight game he misses.

Fantasy Impact:

The last time Hogan saw the field was in Week 8. The Pats had a bye in Week 9, and without Hogan on the field the last three games, here's how the targets have been distributed in New England:

Brandin Cooks - 27
Rob Gronkowski - 18
Danny Amendola - 17
Rex Burkhead - 11
James White - 6
Dion Lewis - 6
Phillip Dorsett - 3
Martellus Bennett - 3

Cooks is our No. 3 ranked WR this week, Gronk is our No. 1 TE, and Lewis and Burkhead are both top-23 RB options. Those are the Patriots skill position players you want to insert into your starting lineups in Week 13.

“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.
