Earnest Graham to see the "majority of the carries"

Oct 12, 2011

Starting tailback LeGarrette Blount did not practice Wednesday and is nursing a left knee injury he suffered at San Francisco. It's unlikely he will play Sunday against the Saints.

That means Earnest Graham, who rushed for 898 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2007, will have a chance to make plays from the tailback position.

"You guys know Earnest has done everything for us,'' quarterback Josh Freeman said. "Whether it's playing fullback, being the third down back and now this week he's going to get the majority of the reps, the majority of the carries. I mean, he's done it before...he's a guy we know can get it done.''

Fantasy Impact:

4for4 has Graham ranked #14 amongst RBs in Week 6.

“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

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.
