Arian Foster starts camp on PUP

Jul 25, 2013

The Houston Texans have placed running back Arian Foster on the physically unable to perform list a day before their first practice of training camp.

Foster strained his right calf early in organized team activities and didn't practice again, but the team said then that he should be ready for training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

It's too early to panic about Foster's Week 1 availability, but it would obviously be better if he were able to practice right now. He may miss a preseason game or two, but if he's not back for the third game (the game most teams use as a full warm up for the starters), then it will be time to worry. Ben Tate looks like a great handcuff for Foster owners.

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.
