Aug 23, 2012

While saying the starting QB job is now John Skelton's to lose, Adam Schefter adds the Cardinals may not be done looking for a signal caller.

"It doesn't stop Arizona from continuing to look around the league to see if any other quarterbacks are available before the final roster cuts either through trade or on waivers," he said of Skelton presumably getting the nod. "But for the time being it looks like Skelton has that job in his sights."

Fantasy Impact:

The situation is important for Larry Fitzgerald, who caught 42 passes for 753 yards and six touchdowns in the eight games with John Skelton under center. He caught 38 passes for 658 yards and two touchdowns in the eight games where Kevin Kolb threw the most passes. Skelton targeted Fitzgerald 11.0 times per game. Kolb targeted Fitzgerald 8.1 times per game. Over the course of the season, Fitzgerald scored 43% more fantasy points with Skelton under center.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
