Saints work out K Garrett Hartley

Dec 10, 2014

Kicker Garrett Hartley worked out for the Saints this week, according to ESPN.

Shayne Graham, who was signed to replace Hartley last year, has been mostly solid. He's made 18-of-20 field goals this season and was the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month in October.

Graham, who just turned 37, missed a 42-yarder in a 41-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, which drew the ire of Sean Payton on the sideline.

Hartley tweeted that he was in New Orleans on Tuesday night, but also cautioned fans not to read into it. How much interest the Saints have in Hartley, or whether his tryout is intended to be a message to Graham, is unknown.

Fantasy Impact:

This serves as a heads up for Shayne Graham owners. He may not be on solid footing heading into the stretch run.

“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.
