Packers activate Sammy Watkins, place Randall Cobb on injured reserve

Oct 22, 2022

The Packers activated WR Sammy Watkins off injured reserve and placed WR Randall Cobb on the list.

Fantasy Impact:

Watkins returns after missing the last four games with a hamstring injury and it comes right as the team loses Cobb, who was having a solid second run with the Packers of late but injured his ankle last week against the Jets. Watkins could slide right back in among the top receivers for Aaron Rodgers heading into Sunday’s game against the Commanders, though he may still take a backseat to Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs. It will be interesting to see how the Packers bring back Watkins, who has six catches for over 100 yards in the first two games of the season.

“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.
