Dallas RB Felix Jones out 2-4 weeks

Oct 17, 2011

Felix Jones was in a walking boot Monday and is expected to be out anywhere from two to four weeks. Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in the second quarter of the team's loss to New England and didn't return.

Jones has fought through a dislocated shoulder to stay on the field this season. He won't be able to do that with this injury. Jones will miss the St. Louis and Philadelphia games at a minimum meaning he won't return to the field until November.

Fantasy Impact:

Tashard Choice is listed behind Jones on the depth chart. But when Jones went down Sunday, it was rookie DeMarco Murray who assumed his work load. Murray is probably the better of the two to target if you're a Jones owner, or, just want to pick up another back.

“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.
