Colts QB Andrew Luck will miss Week 1

Sep 04, 2017

Jason La Canfora: To the surprise of no one, Colts make it official no Andrew Luck in Week 1. Scott Tolzien gets the start. I'd expect Luck to miss a few more weeks.

From ESPN Stats & Info: Scott Tolzien is 0-2-1 w/a 27.8 Total QBR in his career as a starting quarterback. Since 2013, it's the third-worst QBR in a player’s first three career starts.

Fantasy Impact:

Interesting note there at the end from La Canfora, who suggests that Luck will "miss a few more weeks." While he's out, T.Y. Hilton, Donte Moncrief and Jack Doyle will all suffer, and Frank Gore is less dependable in the running game.

“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.
