Marquez Valdez-Scantling expected to play vs. Buccaneers

Oct 01, 2022

Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is planning to play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact:

It sounds like MVS is going to push and try to play through the injury and return for the first time since Week 1, but he only practiced on Wednesday, so even if he does play, he may very well be quite limited Sunday night. And that's another issue for fantasy purposes, he's playing Sunday night and isn't a reliable option due to the injury, so either way, he's probably best suited for the bench this week in your lineups. MVS is currently our WR68 this week.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.
