Andrew Luck's Week 1 status is "really in question"

Aug 15, 2019

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says that the team doesn't sound as optimistic as they did earlier in training camp in regard to Andrew Luck's Week 1 status, but do believe they have a better grasp of his injury now. Coach Frank Reich also wants to designate a starter after the Week 3 preseason game, which shortens Luck's time to heal before the season starts.

Fantasy Impact:

The timeline puts Jacoby Brissett squarely in the picture to start Week 1 and should knock Andrew Luck down your draft board somewhat. If you've already drafted Luck, Brissett is someone worth grabbing as insurance, but there's also a decent chance you can find a free agent quarterback in most single quarterback leagues.

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

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
