Colts RB Trent Richardson will be given the first shot ...

Jun 23, 2014

Colts RB Trent Richardson will be given the first shot at starting partially based off his talent and because not starting would be another sign of a failed trade by GM Ryan Grigson. But don’t be shocked if Ahmad Bradshaw ends up starting if Richardson struggles early. The Colts aren’t in the position to be waiting for Richardson to find his rhythm.

Fantasy Impact:

The team is happy with Richardson's offseason and are even talking about him being a three-down back in 2014. He was hesitant last season and lacked burst, but could potentially turn it around if he's fully comfortable in the offense. Bradshaw is the better runner but hasn't been able to stay healthy.

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.
