Packers RB Jamaal Williams out, team pessimistic about Aaron Jones

Nov 03, 2020

Adding to the difficulty for the Packers: There is pessimism that RB Aaron Jones (calf) will be back for Thursday, I’m told. GB is cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

With Williams now out and on the COVID list, according to reports by Tom Pelissero, the current plan seems to be going with Ervin and Williams vs. the 49ers, Rapoport said. Ervin has 10 career carries and Williams has 5. Ervin mostly returned kicks for the Packers while Williams has been on the practice squad. Neither are really great plays against the 49ers, but there could at least be some volume between the two for those owners in need.

“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.
