McNabb expected to restructure contract with Vikings

Jul 26, 2011

Jason La Canfora is reporting that the Vikings and Redskins have the parameters of a deal in place to bring Donovan McNabb to Minnesota. The Vikings still have to work with McNabb to restructure his deal, which could be "tricky."

Update: La Canfora is now reporting that McNabb is expected to work out a deal with the Vikings on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin are floundering in the 5th/6th rounds due to the Vikings' QB situation, but acquiring McNabb (and re-signing Rice) would clear up those grey skies. If all three are in purple and gold in 2011, look for both Harvin and Rice to move solidly into the 5th round, or even a bit earlier. As for McNabb, he will be a mid- to low-end QB2 in most formats. His shaky play in 2010 is tough to forget, but he'll be playing behind a much better offensive line in Minnesota.

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.

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.
