Green suffered an ankle injury in last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He did not practice at all this week and was listed as doubtful on the injury report, wearing a protective boot for most of the week.
The 25-year-old is having one of his best seasons, though most of his production came while filling for Antonio Gates’ four-game suspension. Through seven games, Green has 27 catches for 314 yards and four touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: Green is dealing with a knee injury of his own, but he’s going to play through it. With Keenan Allen done for the year, Green could get even more targets than usual. Fantasy owners can comfortably fire him up as a TE1 against the Bears defense.
Now that Gates is back in the fold, Green should slide back into a reserve role even when healthy. He’s no longer a must-hold in 12-team leagues.
