Bears place WR Kevin White on IR with a fractured fibula

Oct 05, 2016

The Bears are placing WR Kevin White on Injured Reserve with a high-ankle sprain and fracture. Eligible to return in 8 weeks.

Related players: Alshon Jeffery, Eddie Royal, Zach Miller

Fantasy Impact:

An eight-week timeline means that White can be cut in most formats. Eddie Royal looks to be the best bet to step up in White's absence. Royal played 52% of the snaps in Week 4 (with White playing 59%, prior to the injury), catching seven passes for 111 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. He'll be a Sneaky Start this week against the Colts. Consider him an untrustworthy low-end WR3/WR4, depending on the matchup. White's absence also frees up extra targets for Alshon Jeffery and Zach Miller.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
