Rapoport: QB Deshaun Watson trade talks intensifying

Oct 25, 2021

Deshaun Watson is still a Texan. There is a belief, a good chance, that's not the case by the time the Nov. 2 trade deadline rolls around, Ian Rapoport reported.

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said there are multiple teams interested, including the usual suspect: the Dolphins, Eagles and Panthers. The Panthers benched Sam Darnold during a loss against the Giants Sunday while the Eagles are still unsure about Jalen Hurts after falling to 2-5. The Dolphins have been linked to Watson pretty much from the start. Rapoport added a few other interesting notes about Watson: He's apparently in great shape and the thought is he could step right in and play. And, indications from the NFL are, if he's traded, he wouldn't be placed on the the commissioner's exemption list, meaning he could play immediately after the trade. While that status could change depending on how investigations play out, it's been one of the bigger questions involving Watson and a trade this year.

“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

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.
