Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) headed to IR

Oct 22, 2019

Mired in a three-game losing streak, the Lions are dealing with another setback made official on Tuesday.

Running back Kerryon Johnson has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, the team announced.

Related players: Ty Johnson, J.D. McKissic

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson will miss at least the next eight games. The earliest he can return is Week 16, which pretty much puts him back for fantasy finals in most leagues. Unless you have an IR spot, he would be risky to keep on your bench in redraft leagues. Ty Johnson will be a popular pickup this week as will McKissic. Ty Johnson should get the early down work with McKissic a change of pace option.

“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

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.
