Jul 25, 2010

In the battle to be Miami's backup quarterback behind Chad Henne, Chad Pennington clearly has an experience edge over Tyler Thigpen and Pat White. But the coaches, and possibly Pennington's surgically repaired throwing shoulder, won't even let him enter this position battle.

According to coach Tony Sparano, this contest is between his two young arms. Thigpen, who started in Kansas City, has an experience edge over White. He also has a tendency to make things happen through improvisation. White, who struggled with his accuracy last season, has shown some improvement during the offseason. But will it carry over into camp and the exhibition season? White's bigger and stronger this season, but still has a ways to go before he proves he's an NFL quarterback.

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.
