Nelson Agholor (ankle) misses another practice

Sep 09, 2021

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor missed Thursday's practice session with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Agholor has now logged two straight DNP's and is in danger of missing Week 1's contest against the Miami Dolphins. Mac Jones was already going to have a daunting task squaring off against Xavien Howard and Byron Jones but now may be without one of his top three receivers. With N'Keal Harry on injured reserve, the Patriots may be down to Gunner Olszewski as the number three wide receiver. The Patriots are built to use two tight end formations frequently and may spend even more time in that package if Agholor is ruled out. Kendrick Bourne gets a slight upside bump with this news. Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry will both be in line to see a higher target volume and snaps out wide.

“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.
