Victor Cruz concussed, also has sprained knee

Dec 15, 2013

New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz left the third quarter of Sunday's Seahawks showdown with a concussion and knee sprain.

After the game, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said he was unsure if Cruz will be shelved for the remainder of the season.

"I haven't had a chance to visit in there (the medical room)," Coughlin said. "I know he came down on the side of his head, so we'll see."

Fantasy Impact:

There's little point in rushing Cruz back for the final two games, but we'll have to see what the Giants decide. Either way, his status for Week 16 doesn't look very good right now. Rueben Randle, Jerrel Jernigan and Louis Murphy could see a lot of time over the final two weeks.

“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.
