Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host, Justin Boone.

0:18.7

Appreciate you spending some time with us today. The Friday injury show, it's always an important one, right? We're just trying to get you caught up on all the players who might be limited, who might be ruled out this week. And we've got a bunch of players to go over, including a few surprising ones as the week went along here. I tried to push this back to as long as I could today, just to try to get as much information as I could as the day went along. But let's get into it now.

0:40.0

Let's start with quarterbacks. back to as long as I could today just to try to get as much information as I could as the day went along.

0:38.4

But let's get into it now. Let's start with quarterbacks.

0:41.3

Jaden Daniels is the first name and he's dealing with that rib injury, missed the first two practices of the week.

0:47.6

And then reporters were saying that he wasn't even spotted at the opening portion of practice on Friday.

0:52.7

But Dan Quinn came out after. He said Daniels did

0:55.6

practice that they pushed him as far as they could. They're trying to see where he's at and

1:00.1

whether he's going to be able to advance enough to play. Daniels also spoke to the media.

1:04.7

Didn't seem super upbeat. He said the final decision is going to be made by the trainers and the

1:09.0

coaching staff, just trying to put himself in the best position to potentially play. We don't know for sure which way this is going to go either. I don't have a strong feeling on it. I'm still leaning towards Daniels sitting out this game because there's a couple quotes that came out as the week went along where they were talking about the team thinking long term with this, not wanting to risk him aggravating it because of the way he plays. They know he's going to go out there. He's going to throw his body around. They don't want him to go out there and get hurt and miss even more time. They want him to be able to do everything once he is back on the field. So I'm expecting that he is going to sit this game out. And that would mean that Marcus Marriota would get the start. And in that instance, we would have to bump down the pass catchers. Really, the projections for the whole offense are going to come down a decent amount. The bears are going to be rested. They're coming off their by. Their defense is strong to begin with. And I know Marietota looked decent last week, but that was against the Panthers.

2:02.6

This is a much different test for him going up against the Bears.

2:05.6

So he would just be a low end QB2 streamer, got a little bit of rushing ability.

2:09.6

That can help him.

2:11.6

Now McLaren, Terry McLaren falls into the wide receiver 3 range.

2:14.6

I don't love the matchup for him.

2:16.6

I'm not really using any of the other commander's receivers unless Daniels plays. And if Daniels is out there, the matchup's still tough, but it would be business as usual, right? We'd be approaching this offense like we have all season long here. I'm just not sure that's going to happen this week. We do know that Tua has cleared concussion protocol. He's going to start in this game. That is huge news for the dolphin skill position guys. They should all bump right back up into the normal range where they were before two got hurt. So Tyree kill, a wide receiver one. I'll put a little asterisk on that one for now. Jalen Waddle, a strong wide receiver two and Devon A. Chan, a fringe RB1. And I put the little asterisk on that one for now a Jalen Waddle a strong wide receiver 2 and

2:51.3

Devon A Chan a fringe RB1 and I put the little asterisk because we do have

2:55.9

some injury news about Tyreek something that popped up during the practice week

2:59.9

and we're gonna get to that when we reach the receiver section in a bit some other

3:03.3

quarterback injuries we gotta update you on first though Aaron Rogers he's got

3:06.9

knee and hamstring issues it caused them to be limited in a couple practices got back to
