Brian Hoyer suffers concussion

Nov 17, 2015

Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer suffered a concussion in Houston's 10-6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hoyer has entered the league's concussion protocol. He will have to pass a series of tests and be cleared by a neurologist in order to return to the field.

Fantasy Impact:

The Texans signed Yates three weeks ago, after releasing Ryan Mallett. Yates completed five of 11 passes for 69 yards and threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins. That touchdown gave the Texans a lead with 14:20 left in the game. Yates would be in line to stat Week 11 if Hoyer can't get back on the field for a home matchup against the Jets.

“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.
