“I’ll be there. I don’t think I’ll have bells on, but I’ll be there,” Faneca said Wednesday. Faneca, who is unhappy he doesn’t have a contract extension, says he won’t make waves with his complaints when he shows up.

Making his Packers debut, 27-year-old journeyman Strong slid into Chris Brooks’ (ankle, injured reserve) vacated role. Although it’s a potential concern for MarShawn Lloyd and Kaleb Johnson — any new face in this makeshift backfield would be — it appears to be a bigger issue for Johnson, as Strong was playing ahead of him until garbage time. Ominous for Johnson managers, though Strong has little shot at carving out 12-team league value of his own.

Herbert was without his top wideouts, his top offensive lineman, and the fact he was able to put up even this type of statline is somewhat impressive, if you squint very hard. The 28-year-old quarterback was constantly under pressure, and was at his best when he was able to escape the pocket and use his underrated wheels. That being said, he could have had more turnovers than this, and his interception was an inexcusable throw right into the hands of the Broncos’ defender. Even if Herbert gets his weapons back, fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere in Week 6 in standard leagues fora touch matchup against the Chiefs.
