ESPN: The Cardinals used only one receiver on nine of their final
14 plays in the NFC Championship Game. Anquan Boldin was not that
receiver. Boldin wasn't too happy with being minimized in the 4th
quarter of Arizona's 32-25 victory over the Eagles that clinched
the franchise's first Super Bowl berth. Late in the game, cameras
showed Boldin arguing with OC Todd Haley. "I was not given any
explanation why I was taken out," Boldin said Monday, during an
interview on ESPN's "NFL Live," when asked what led to the
sideline confrontation. "Like any competitor I wanted to know
why." Asked if he had any issues with Haley, Boldin said, "Not a
problem at all. I'm committed to this team ... one goal in mind
... to win the Super Bowl. That's why I came back early from the
facial injury. You don't get this opportunity all the 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.

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.
