Guess who might be taking a page out of New England's two tight-end playbook?

With so much focus on which wide receiver the New York Jets will pursue in free agency, former Baltimore Raven and two-time Pro Bowl tight end Todd Heap is in town to visit the Jets facility in Florham Park on Sunday.

The 6-5, 247-pound Heap was cut by the Ravens last week as part of several salary cap-saving moves. Heap played on the Ravens for eight seasons while Jets head coach Rex Ryan was on the Baltimore coaching staff.

Ryan rolled out the red carpet for the veteran tight end by picking him up at Newark Liberty International Airport Saturday night. Ryan grabbed Heap in a bear hug before driving off in a SUV.

At this point, the Jets haven’t made an offer to the veteran tight end.

Fantasy Impact:

Although Heap is past his Pro Bowl days, this signing wouldn't be great news for Dustin Keller.

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.
