Jets lose RB Eli McGuire to broken foot

Jul 29, 2018

The Jets entered training camp with five running backs on their roster. Two days into practice, they're down to four.

That's bad news for Elijah McGuire, the man who went down with a broken foot that will require surgery. He was expected to be the team's third back.

Fantasy Impact:

The story was mainly about how the injury could end up being a blessing for the likes of Cannon. Cannon, the Jets' sixth-round draft pick, was mostly viewed as a potential return man entering this summer. Of course, a team's third RB certainly has potential fantasy value, especially as a handcuff, as he's just one injury away from more significant time.

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

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.

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.
