Denver coach John Fox did not make it official during his postgame news conference that Tim Tebow would be the Broncos' starting quarterback from this point on. But he likely will make it official Tuesday.

This wasn't bowing to public pressure. This was Fox sticking with Kyle Orton until Orton lost the job. Orton was splendid during the preseason, but he seemed to progressively lose confidence. A sure touchdown pass slipped out of his hands in a 23-20 season-opening loss at home to rival Oakland. A late interception cost the Broncos a chance to win in a 17-14 defeat at Tennessee.

Fantasy Impact:

This is just a beat writer's opinion but things certainly look like the team could turn to Tebow after his second half performance last week. Tebow may not end up a great NFL QB, but he has potential to be a pretty good fantasy QB. Because of his running ability and QB draws like the one called in the red zone this past week, he has a chance to be a factor in most of the team's scoring. If you're in QB trouble this year, Tebow may be a guy to got get.

“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.
