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.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
