Buccaneers RB Giovani Bernard day to day with MCL injury

Sep 28, 2021

Bucs RB Giovani Bernard suffered a slight MCL sprain on his goal-line collision and flip against the Rams, per source.

Related players: Ronald Jones, Leonard Fournette

Fantasy Impact:

Bernard is considered day to day for Week 4 vs. Patriots and his status is to be determined, Pelissero said. Pelissero opines it's good news based on how painful that play looked. If Gio can't go, Jones and Fournette should see more time and snaps in the passing game. The Bucs haven't exactly been a run-heavy team, but the extra snaps in the passing game could bump both backs up the rankings a bit heading into Week 4.

“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.
