Jun 30, 2014

Eagles OT Lane Johnson has been suspended the first four games of the upcoming season after testing positive for PEDs.

There has been no confirmation of the report yet from the team.

If true, the loss of Johnson is a massive blow to an Eagles' offensive line that is loaded with starters but thin on backups.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles line bounced back after an ugly 2012 season and helped pave the way for LeSean McCoy to lead the league in rushing. Fourth-overall-pick in 2013 Johnson was a big part of that. If true, Johnson would return Week 5. While it certainly doesn't help, McCoy shouldn't lose his top-three value heading into drafts.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

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.
