The Chiefs signed free-agent wide receiver Donnie Avery...

Jul 29, 2013

The Chiefs signed free-agent wide receiver Donnie Avery with the hope he would be the speed receiver opposite Dwayne Bowe and for competition with Jon Baldwin. But Avery, who missed much of the offseason program because of an ankle injury, has had an issue with dropped passes and worked with the second unit.

Fantasy Impact:

We keep waiting for Baldwin's breakout season and this could very well be it - if things stay the same - and with a pass-heavy coach in Andy Reid and a new QB in Alex Smith. He's still nothing more than a late-round flier at this point and there's still a good chance Avery gets a shot to win the job.

“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.
