Warner, Hightower expected to play

Dec 05, 2009

Kurt Warner and Matt Leinart continued to share snaps with the starting unit on Friday, but Whisenhunt remains optimistic that Warner will start Sunday against the Vikings.

Whisenhunt, however, isn't counting on it as much as last week, when Warner ended up sitting out against the Titans. Leinart didn't take many snaps with the first unit last week, yet played the whole game.

Warner is listed as questionable.

Running back Tim Hightower (thumb), cornerback Bryant McFadden (knee), defensive end Kenny Iwebema (thumb), kicker Neil Rackers (groin) and linebacker Karlos Dansby (shoulders) are questionable. All are expected to play, however.

“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

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.
