Week 12 Outlook
Availability
Patriots fullback Dan Vitale has opted out of the 2020 season due to coronavirus concerns, according to a report from Jarrett Bell of USA Today.
Fantasy Impact
Vitale played in 15 games for the Packers last season and signed with the Patriots this offseason, who may have seen him as a replacement for James Devein, who retired from the NFL in the Spring. Now, New England will have to look elsewhere for a lead blocker for the likes of Sony Michel, James White, Damien Harris, and Rex Burkhead.
Vitale caught one of two targets for four yards in the Packers' 28-26 win over the Texans in Thursday's preseason opener.
Fantasy Impact
The fullback didn't get a carry but did finish with four yards receiving. He started a total of nine games from 2016-2017 with the Browns and appeared in five contests for the Packers in 2018.
