PROBABLE G Jonathan Cooper (toe), WR Larry Fitzgerald (knee), LB Kevin Minter (chest), DT Frostee Rucker (back)

Fantasy Impact:

The two big notes are Cardinals RB Andre Ellington and Chargers TE Antonio Gates. Gates doesn't officially appear on the NFL media injury report but was listed as limited in practice on Saturday with a hamstring injury. On the San Diego Chargers injury report, he is listed as questionable. If he doesn't go, Lardarius Green would be a significant upgrade in terms of workload potential.

Ellington is a game-time call on Monday night. Reports have been all over the place about the extent of his foot injury, but he's officially listed as questionable.

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Related Players: Sterling Shepard, Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer

Fantasy Impact:

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

49ers TE George Kittle "good to go" for Week 12

KNBR

yesterday · 5:34 PM EST

“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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
