Aug 15, 2011

Despite dealing with a left ankle/ foot injury, Packers kicker Mason Crosby hit a 31-yard field, two extra points and averaged a healthy 71.7 yards per kickoff.

Crosby injured his plant foot in practice about a week ago and had to take a couple days off to let it heal. It still causes him some discomfort, and he has to treat it after practices and games, but he said it did not give way against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact:

Crosby falls a bit in our rankings this year. Once in the top-five in past years, he's currently 11th before this season starts. He could certainly be a decent option if drafted as a number-two on your team.

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.

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.
