Chris Ivory dealing with tightness in quad

Oct 26, 2015

Chris Ivory was on and off the field early in the game against the New England Patriots on Sunday as it appeared he was dealing with a hamstring injury that hindered him in weeks prior. He didn't have his best game, rushing 17 times for 41 yards, and it's now clear why.

According to Todd Bowles, Ivory is dealing with "tightness in his quad." That would explain why he was on the training bike between drives, and it also is an indication as to why Ivory struggled throughout the game.

Fantasy Impact:

It's unclear if the injury will sideline Ivory at all, but it's unlikely since he was able to play through it on Sunday. If he does miss time, it won't be good for the Jets, who lost the only game Ivory missed this season. However, if he plays, he could be limited so it's something for owners to monitor.

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.
