Commanders place Carson Wentz on injured reserve

Oct 22, 2022

The Commanders placed quarterback Carson Wentz on injured reserve with a broken ringer suffered during the team’s Week 6 Thursday night game against the Bears. Taylor Heinicke will take over as starter.

Fantasy Impact:

Wentz is now out for at least four games, which also means he will not be around for his two return visits to Indianapolis and Philadelphia. He can return to game action November 20 against the Texans. Heinicke and the Commanders had the mini-bye to prepare for the Packers. Heinicke played 16 games last season, throwing for over 3,400 yards, 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He checks in as our No. 22 quarterback this week.

“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.
