Pagano: Dwayne Allen 'trending in right direction'

Dec 01, 2014

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen, who has missed the past two games with a high ankle sprain, could return to practice Wednesday, coach Chuck Pagano said Monday.

“Trending in the right direction,” Pagano said about Allen. “Looks like we could have him available for practice on Wednesday, which would be great. They’re going to take him out and test him and run him and move him around. He’s doing well.”

Fantasy Impact:

Allen could end up being eased back in Week 14, but that remains to be seen. He could also go back to splitting up targets with Colby Fleener. Fleener, of course, busted out for a monster game against Washington in Week 13. Either way, it appears Allen is on track to play Week 14, but we'll continue to update his status this week.

“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.
