Vikings rookie RB DeWayne McBride may be headed to Practice Squad

Aug 24, 2023

DeWayne McBride was always going to need time to learn the offense — protection responsibilities, the lengthy play calls, and even how to read certain runs. For that reason, he fell to the seventh round. The Vikings like his downhill running style, and it’s possible that the bevy of running backs on the market makes it easier for the Vikings to give him time to develop on the practice squad.

Related Players: Kene Nwangwu, Ty Chandler

Fantasy Impact:

It seems as though Kene Nwangwu has locked up the RB3 slot in Minnesota, with his ability to return kicks adding some flexibility to the roster spot. After Ty Chandler's fantastic showing through the preseason, Alexander Mattison is the only body in the way of extended playing time for Chandler.

“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.
