Colts say they will play starters Week 17

Dec 22, 2014

Colts are going to, generally speaking, play to win vs. Tennessee despite having nothing to gain.

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet added they need to build some 'steam' after a not-so-great performance against the Cowboys. Holder also added in another tweet the team is expecting to get WR T.Y. Hilton back for Week 17. In an article from Dec. 15, Holder quoted Pagano as saying the team is going to play 16 games, and he may rest starters who have been banged up, but indicated everyone else would play. All that said, it doesn't necessarily mean the starters will play the entire game in Week 17, but it could mean Colts offensive players can be considered fantasy options if your league has playoffs into Week 17.

“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.
