Colts plan to start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback

Sep 15, 2017

Sources: The Colts are planning on starting QB Jacoby Brissett on Sunday vs. Arizona. Former starter Scott Tolzien goes to the bench.

Related players: T.Y. Hilton, Donte Moncrief, Jack Doyle, Frank Gore

Fantasy Impact:

In two starts as a rookie with the Patriots last year, Brissett completed 28 of 46 passes (60.9% completion) for 308 total yards and a 6.70 YPA. He didn't throw a single touchdown or interception, but he did run the ball 12 times for 71 yards and a touchdown. This is not a huge upgrade for Indy from a fantasy standpoint, but there's a chance Brissett posts a decent passing line against Arizona, and that would benefit T.Y. Hilton, Donte Moncrief and Jack Doyle. Brissett's ability to run may open up a few running lanes for Frank Gore.

“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.

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.
