RB James Conner (quad) was knocked out in the first half.

Related players: Benny Snell, Devlin Hodges, Jaylen Samuels

Fantasy Impact:

HC Mike Tomlin didn't offer any other specifics about the injuries. But the reporter added Rudolph was in clear pain, wincing with every step as he walked and moved gingerly in the locker room. Heading into Week 17 it looks like Hodges could be back at QB with Snell and Samuels getting the work at RB.

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.
