Buccaneers: No decision made on WR Antonio Brown

Dec 13, 2021

“I haven’t made that determination yet, but we’ll see how it goes,” HC Bruce Arians said, via Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times about WR Antonio Brown.

The Bucs play the Saints at home next Sunday and any decision about Brown will have to come early next week.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown is still suspended for Week 15's game but was also dealing with an ankle injury before the suspension was handed down. Brown falsified his vaccine status and Arians said earlier in the season Brown would be gone if he "screws up one time." This seems like a screw-up, but the Bucs are battling for a top seed in the NFC and are among the favorites to return to the Super Bowl.

“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.
