Marcus Mariota could miss final two weeks

Dec 21, 2015

Early in the Tennessee Titans' loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota went to the ground with a knee injury. He did not return for the rest of the game and, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he may not return for the rest of the season.

Per NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Titans rookie standout Marcus Mariota suffered a minor knee sprain in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact:

Having already missed time with a knee issue this year, the Titans might decide to sit him for the rest of the season, the story said. If Mariota does sit the final two games of the regular season, backup quarterback Zach Mettenberger would likely fill in but likely won't be a great fantasy option in Week 16.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
