Sidney Rice to sign with Seahawks

Jul 27, 2011

Jay Glazer is reporting that the Seahawks have agreed to a five-year deal (worth $41 million) with WR Sidney Rice.

Fantasy Impact:

This is major news on the heels of the McNabb trade to Minnesota. The Seahawks get a very good young WR with a worrisome injury history, and his stock will take a hit as he changes offenses and QBs (to Tarvaris Jackson/Charlie Whitehurst...not good). This also hurts the value of Mike X Williams, who was shaping up to be a nice middle round sleeper this season.

Meanwhile, Percy Harvin will be the Vikings' WR1 barring something unforeseen. This means more targets, but not necessarily better targets. Rice's departure hurts Adrian Peterson a little, but McNabb's arrival surely offsets that.

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.
