Four quarterbacks stayed on the roster, but the Lions ...

Sep 06, 2009

Four quarterbacks stayed on the roster, but the Lions could make a move before the first regular season game next Sunday (against the Saints in New Orleans). Kevin O'connell, who was recently acquired on waivers, remains on the roster (while Brooks Bollinger was released).

Drew Stanton isn't expected to be sidelined long as he recovers from arthroscopic knee surgery, but the Lions might elect to place him on the injured reserve list anyway. By doing so, the Lions could have both Stanton and O'Connell battling for the No. 2 quarterback position next season (Daunte Culpepper is on a one-year contract and isn't expected to return).

“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.
