Texans QB coach Karl Dorrell said about QB Matt Schaub:...

Jul 16, 2013

Texans QB coach Karl Dorrell said about QB Matt Schaub: "If you’re an elite player in this league, you’re able to be a crunch time player. I know Matt’s really right there; he’s on the cusp of being one of those players.

"I think in his mind he knows he can play better, and he would like to put this on his shoulders and get this team to the Super Bowl."

Fantasy Impact:

Dorrell also said there's more Schaub can bring to the table and he's "ready to take it up a notch in 2013." We rank Schaub 20th on our QB list. With such a great running attack, the passing game takes a hit despite having some nice targets to throw to. We think the addition of WR DeAndre Hopkins could help, but right now Schaub is a low-end QB2.

“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.
