Schefter: No Andrew Luck tonight, Matt Hasselbeck gets another start

Oct 08, 2015

Colts QB Matt Hasselbeck is starting tonight, per source. No Andrew Luck again.

Fantasy Impact:

Our projections have been updated. It's a big step back from a scoring standpoint, though T.Y. Hilton (13 targets last week) and Donte Moncrief (9) should still get their opportunities in the passing game, and Indianapolis may have to throw more since it's no longer the favorite to win the game. It's a slight downgrade for Frank Gore, though his value in PPR leagues gets a boost since Hasselbeck targeted him seven times last week, a season high. The Texans defense gets a big bump with Hasselbeck under center. Not only is he starting on a short week, but he's been in the hospital as recently as Monday morning, fighting a virus.

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.

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.
