Jimmy Garoppolo Won't Practice On Wednesday

one year ago

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) will not practice Wednesday after suffering a back injury in the win over the New England Patriots in Week 6. This is not a good sign for his availability against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. If he doesn't suit up on Sunday, veteran Brian Hoyer will presumably be under center for the Silver and Black. Although the Bears have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, Hoyer should not be high on the fantasy radar except in two-QB and superflex leagues. Expect the Raiders to lean on Josh Jacobs in this matchup, especially since Justin Fields (thumb) is not expected to suit up for the Bears. This will likely be a battle of rushing attacks on both sides.
