The second part of the Brandon Lloyd story sounds like ...

The second part of the Brandon Lloyd story sounds like Mike Sims-Walker has been released. Whether or not Sims-Walker has been released is not confirmed yet. Sims-Walker came awfully close with a cryptic tweet this morning.

This was his tweet:

@MikeSimsWalker
MIKE SIMS-WALKER Done been thru a lot and pretty sure I'm gone go thru a lot more but I promise I have no brakes!!!! #imnotstopping

Dropping Sims-Walker makes the most sense for the Rams. They would be unlikely to part ways with the rookies drafted this year, especially with those players starting to show signs of life.

The Rams may have sent a signal yesterday when they left Mike Sims-Walker on the inactive list.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Related Players: Sterling Shepard, Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

49ers TE George Kittle "good to go" for Week 12

“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.
