Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson move up depth chart

Nov 16, 2015

In Julian Edelman's absence, No. 3 receiver Danny Amendola saw an immediate increase in playing time in two-receiver packages and finished with 10 receptions for 79 yards.

No. 4 receiver Aaron Dobson also bumped one spot up the depth chart.

Fantasy Impact:

Amendola figures to be a popular pickup this week on waiver wires and for good reason, there's a chance he takes on the Edelman role in the Pats offense going forward. The Pats receivers were difficult to predict outside of Edelman and TE Rob Gronkowski, so we can't assume it's a lock, but odds seem to favor Amendola could benefit the most in terms of fantasy production from the loss of Edelman. Keshawn Martin could also factor in more.

“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.
