After speaking to league sources over the weekend, there’s a growing buzz that Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill will soon be named the starting quarterback for Friday’s game vs. Atlanta and, subsequently, for the Week 1 regular season game at Houston: The coaches are impressed with Tannehill’s decision-making and quick development. Through two preseason games, Tannehill has yet to throw an interception or turn the ball over.

Fantasy Impact:

Tannehill has the most potential of the Miami QBs, but not a ton to work with at WR. He's likely only a QB3 to start the season on your fantasy team, and in most leagues probably won't get drafted.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Related Players: Sterling Shepard, Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer

Fantasy Impact:

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.

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.
