Jul 28, 2013

Rookie wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson has the inside track to be the Vikings' primary kick returner, a role that should not limit his availability on offense, according to coach Leslie Frazier.

Two days into his first NFL training camp, Patterson has impressed the staff with his ability to retain information and execute pro plays despite his only having one year of Division I college experience.

Fantasy Impact:

Patterson is also seeing time on the first team at WR on the opposite side of Greg Jennings. The Vikes desperately need someone to step into the WR2 role with the loss of Percy Harvin and Patterson has been impressive through the early stages of camp thus far.

“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

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.
