Jay Cutler to miss 'at least' four weeks

Oct 20, 2013

Bears QB Jay Cutler is out at "at least" four weeks with muscle tear.

Fantasy Impact:

It was first called a groin injury, but looked more like a hip. Cutler had to lean on one of Chicago’s trainers as he walked very, very gingerly to the locker room in the second quarter. FOX reported that Cutler needed X-rays on “a lower part of his body.” Cutler was replaced by Josh McCown, who will fill on while Cutler is out. McCown didn't look bad keeping the Bears in a shootout with the Skins, but is a step down from Cutler in the fantasy world going forward. The Bears are at the Packers next week in a Monday Night game.

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.
