Jets expected to name starting QB next Monday

Aug 21, 2017

On Monday, coach Todd Bowles said he expects to announce the opening-day starter next Monday, and it'll be a major upset if it's not Josh McCown. Neither Christian Hackenberg nor Bryce Petty has challenged for the job, making it a no-brainer, barring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Bowles gave Hackenberg his shot last Saturday night in Detroit, and it was a major disappointment. In five possessions, he completed only two of six passes for 14 yards. His misread the defense on the third play, resulting in a vicious sack/fumble. That he escaped injury was a small miracle. Through two games (13 possessions), he has yet to lead the offense to points.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.
