Collins will get the starter's treatment in camp

Jul 31, 2009

Barring injury, Titans Kerry Collins is the Titans' QB of record. He will get the starter's treatment in training camp and will play sparingly in preseason games — "two or three series," Fisher said.

Beyond that, Collins has settled seamlessly back into the preferred role he held for so long in his NFL career — No. 1 quarterback. In the 11 seasons before he joined the Titans, Collins started 145 of the 152 games in which he appeared. He knows his way around the huddle.

"He's been here every day. He's here working with the receivers," Fisher said.

Sure, there are concerns about his age. With the retirements of Brett Favre and Trent Green, Collins is one of the position's elder statesmen. Among quarterbacks that project as NFL starters this season, only Jeff Garcia (39) and Kurt Warner (38) are older.

But Collins benefits from the fact that he played so little in 2006 and '07. He was safely out of harm's way for most of those two seasons. And didn't take the customary beating you expect as an NFL QB.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
