K Nick Folk not expected to play Thursday

Nov 09, 2015

The Jets have a short week to prepare for Thursday night’s game against the Bills and it looks like they’ll have to spend some of their limited time finding a kicker to fill in for Nick Folk.

Folk was active for Sunday’s victory over the Jaguars, but was limited to holding for punter Ryan Quigley due to a quad injury suffered in pregame warmups. Folk said after the game that he felt a “little pop” while getting ready for the game and Adam Caplan of ESPN reports that the diagnosis is a Grade 1 quad strain.

Fantasy Impact:

As a result of the injury, Folk isn’t expected to play in this week’s game. That likely means that the Jets will be hosting a meeting of the unemployed kicker caravan that was in high demand earlier this season thanks to a slew of misses around the league, the story said.

“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.
