Report: Mark Sanchez expected to start Week 11

Nov 16, 2015

For the second year in a row, it looks like it's up to Mark Sanchez to save the Eagles season, which probably isn't an ideal situation for Eagles fans.

According to NFL.com, Sanchez is expected to be the Eagles (4-5) starting quarterback for this Sunday's Week 11 game against the Buccaneers.

During a press conference on Monday, Eagles coach Chip Kelly wouldn't confirm whether or not Sanchez would be starting his team's next two games. However, Kelly did say he has confidence in Sanchez.

"I feel very confident in Mark Sanchez," Kelly said, via the Philadelphia Daily News.

Fantasy Impact:

Sanchez will also likely be the starter in Week 12 against the Lions since the Eagles are playing on Thanksgiving and will only have four days of rest. The Eagles haven't confirmed this yet but Bradford is apparently dealing with a concussion and a sprained AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder. Sanchez has potential in this offense which should actually run at a higher tempo with him under center. Sanchez should also continue his connection with Jordan Matthews after helping him bust out a bit last season. But without a lot of other help, esp. at WR, Sanchez's fantasy value is capped a bit.

“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.
