NFL Communications

Oct 14, 2015

Atlanta Falcons

OUT
LB Justin Durant (elbow), C Mike Person (ankle)

PROBABLE
RB Devonta Freeman (toe), WR Leonard Hankerson (ribs), WR Julio Jones (toe, hamstring)

New Orleans Saints

OUT
G Tim Lelito (shoulder), P Thomas Morstead (right quadricep), CB Damian Swann (concussion)

DOUBTFUL
T Terron Armstead (knee), WR Marques Colston (shoulder)

QUESTIONABLE
DE Bobby Richardson (hip)

PROBABLE
S Jairus Byrd (knee), G Jahri Evans (knee), DT John Jenkins (elbow), CB Keenan Lewis (hip)

Fantasy Impact:

For Julio Jones, the probable tag means he's virtually certain to play, so we would expect him to play his usual (or near-usual) amount of snaps. There is concern that he's going to be used as a decoy, but it appears he emerged from Week 5 without a setback, so we would assume that he would play his typical role. With Marques Colston unlikely to play, Willie Snead and Brandon Coleman should see more playing time.

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

Related Players: Sterling Shepard, Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer

Fantasy Impact:

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

49ers TE George Kittle "good to go" for Week 12

KNBR

“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.
