Christian Watson out, Aaron Jones questionable for Week 14

Dec 09, 2023

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was ruled out for Monday night against the Giants while RB Aaron Jones (knee) is questionable.

Fantasy Impact:

Watson's hamstring issues rear their ugly head again this season after Watson missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury. Watson was on quite a roll with four touchdowns in the last three weeks, helping the Packers to three straight win -- including last week's upset of the Chiefs -- to get the Packers to 6-6 and inside the playoff picture with five weeks left. His absence will certainly open up more opportunities for Jayden Reed (40-513-5) and Romeo Doubs (45-505-7).

Jones was able to practice all week. Even in a limited fashion, it was a good step for Jones after missing the last two games with a knee injury. We'll see how the Packers want to work him with AJ Dillon not as effective and the Packers now very much in the playoff picture.

“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.
