Kolb trade to Cardinals finalized

Jul 28, 2011

The deal is done. Kevin Kolb will sign a five-year extension with the Cardinals for more than $63 million with over $20 million guaranteed. The Eagles get Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2nd round pick.

Fantasy Impact:

This is not unexpected, but with the QB market drying up, Larry Fitzgerald and his owners have to be breathing a sigh of relief. If Kolb is even mediocre, Fitzy should be a threat to break back into the top 5. The Cardinals invested a lot of money in their new, relatively unproven QB. As such, Kolb is a mid-range QB2 in fantasy drafts. With Steve Breaston's departure, Andre Roberts is a real threat to start at WR2 and is a sleeper in PPR formats.

“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.
