Dennis Pitta has a dislocated hip

Jul 27, 2013

TE Dennis Pitta has a dislocated hip. Will miss at least the Denver game.

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens were already short on pass-catchers and this certainly doesn't help. Hopefully for everyone involved, Pitta can return for Week 2 (Cleveland), but that remains to be seen and sounds like a best-case scenario. Pitta's draft stock may tumble, but presuming he's back somewhere around Week 2 or Week 3, he should still hold mid-round (10th/11th) value on draft day. Until there is more clarity about his recovery, it is probably a situation best avoided given some of the other options at tight end. Ed Dickson should see more looks with Pitta sidelined.

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.
