Bears Beat: QB decision may take all week

Dec 01, 2020

When it comes to the Bears’ quarterback situation and who plays next against the Lions at Soldier Field on Sunday, don’t be surprised if coach Matt Nagy plays it out all week as he tried to do last week.

This week should include some legitimate intrigue. Nick Foles has a chance to practice in some capacity as his hip improves, while Mitch Trubisky seemingly did enough for the Bears to seriously consider giving him another start.

Fantasy Impact:

The story makes points on why both QBs could end up the starter. The author said Foles might not start against the Lions but we probably haven't seen the last of him this season. The Bears are desperate for wins and that might mean another quarterback switch is needed. So there could be a short leash for Trubisky.

Titans RB Tyjae Spears Out, Tony Pollard Questionable for Week 9

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 4:31 PM EDT

Titans RB Tyjae Spears is listed out for Sunday’s game on Tennessee’s injury report.

RB Tony Pollard is listed as questionable.

WR Calvin Ridley is off the injury report.

Related Players: Julius Chestnut

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like this could be the Chestnut show, but we won't know until Sunday. If that is the case, this is a situation we should save for DFS contests, not necessarily in redraft lineups.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson officially Questionable for Week 9

Tom Pelissero

yesterday · 4:28 PM EDT

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is officially questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Giants.

Related Players: Austin Ekeler, Jeremy McNichols

Fantasy Impact:

This is a separate injury than Robinson (knee) was dealing with a couple of weeks ago, so this is unlikely just a flare-up. If BRob misses Week 9, consider Austin Ekeler a fringe RB2/3 with McNichols operating as a desperation flyer.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf officially Out Week 9

Ian Rapoport

yesterday · 4:24 PM EDT

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (MCL sprain) has been ruled out for Sunday.

Related Players: Jake Bobo, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett

Fantasy Impact:

Metcalf was sorely missed in Week 8, when no other receivers were able to step up outside of JSN going 6-69-0. Lockett, in particular, was a regrettable fantasy start, while Geno Smith had only 212 yards and zero touchdowns for the first time all season. Smith-Njigba is the only reliable part of the passing attack (along with Kenneth Walker) this week.
