Matthew Berry: Zeke could be RB value based on injury

Mar 11, 2022

In his NFL Scouting Combine story, ESPN's Matthew Berry talked about RB Ezekiel Elliott. "...the internal thought in Dallas is that Zeke is still a legit RB1 and that an improved offensive line this season (and Zeke being fully healthy) will help a lot. You'll still see a lot of Tony Pollard, of course, but the expectation is Elliott still gets a ton of work in 2022, including all the goal-line action. At least for this season, the "death of Zeke's value as a fantasy RB1 narrative" has been overblown. If his current ADP holds, he'll be a value in drafts come August."

Fantasy Impact:

Monitor best ball rankings/drafts early and see if the Cowboys add o-line depth once free agency starts.

“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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
