Colts beat writer expects QB Jacoby Brissett (concussion) to play in Week 12

Nov 23, 2017

In a 'Behind Enemy Lines' Q+A exchange between Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt and Colts beat writer Mike Chappell, Chappell said he expects Brissett will play this week versus the Titans.

Chappell: "Jacoby is playing better and better. He is in the concussion protocol – he had what’s been called a mild concussion. But he has been practicing, and I would expect him to play."

Fantasy Impact:

Brissett was put in the concussion protocol following the team's Week 10 contest versus the Steelers. They had a bye last week and it appears the week of rest helped the Colts QB get healthy.

If Brissett does suit up, it will be his second time playing against the Titans this season. In the first meeting against them, he scored 13.98 fantasy points and finished as the fantasy QB14 for the week. The matchup is fantastic for Brissett and we have him ranked as our No. 17 QB for the week.

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.
