Vikes QB Sam Bradford expected to start Week 2

Sep 17, 2016

ESPN’s Ben Goessling is reporting that Sam Bradford is expected to start for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Goessling reports that Bradford took all the first-team reps for the Vikings at practice, indicating he will get the nod on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact:

Bradford told the media earlier this week he felt much more comfortable with the playbook, the story said. Shaun Hill was average last week in the team's win and it's expected Bradford will be an upgrade at the position as well as an upgrade for the Viking receivers. But, expect Bradford to improve as the weeks go by. Green Bay is 11th in allowing fantasy points to QBs so it's not a great matchup for Bradford.

“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.
