Ever since Pat White skipped the first day of training ...

Aug 13, 2010

Ever since Pat White skipped the first day of training camp with “personal issues,” much of the talk around camp has revolved around, “how quickly will the Dolphins get rid of him?”

But let’s be honest — the quarterback on Miami’s roster with any real trade value is Tyler Thigpen, not White, who has not shown at all that he can play quarterback at this level.

The Dolphins have no real attachment to Thigpen — they picked him up in a panic last year when Chad Pennington went down. Chad Henne is the present and the future at quarterback, and Pennington is healthy again, so keeping Thigpen, a talented but raw fourth-year quarterback, around is more of a luxury than a necessity.

Fantasy Impact:

Chad Henne is the ONLY QB on Miami's roster with fantasy value. God help them if he gets hurt.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.
