Eric Ebron (hamstring) pops up on injury report

Sep 16, 2021

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron was added to the injury report with a hamstring issue.

Fantasy Impact:

Ebron was not on the injury report on Wednesday, so this seems like a new ailment. Ebron and rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth are expected to cannibalize each other's fantasy values this season, but if one of them were to miss game action, the other would have TE1 upside. Pat Freiermuth had outplayed Ebron as both a receiver and a blocker in camp, so this may be just the opening he needs to grab the reins in Pittsburgh. The Steelers will need to pass the ball more for the young tight end to realize his upside, but his talent and potential situation are palpable. He is worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.

“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.

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.
