Hester iffy at best...

Dec 27, 2009

Devin Hester is questionable for Monday's game with the Minnesota Vikings but it looks like the wide receiver will miss his third consecutive game with a left calf muscle strain.

The Bears (5-9) don't have a pressing need to get Hester on the field. He hasn't been cleared for a complete return to practice, and the forecast is for the game-time temperature to be near 20.

That means Devin Aromashodu will likely get another chance to start. He has been a popular outlet for Jay Cutler the last two weeks, being targeted for 22 passes. Aromashodu delivered vs. Green Bay but caught just two passes for 10 yards at Baltimore and three passes directed to him were intercepted.

If Hester is out, there is a chance the team could make rookie third-round draft pick Juaquin Iglesias active for the first time.

“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.
