ESPN: I was uncertain if Pro Bowl receiver Anquan Boldin, who sat
out against the Panthers with a strained left hamstring, would
play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles. Boldin
tested the injury just before kickoff at Carolina and decided he
wasn't ready to go. He said afterward that if the injury continued
to improve, he liked his chances of playing in the NFC title game.
"We're a week further along in the process of that hamstring
getting better, so hopefully he'll be able to do something this
week," coach Ken Whisenhunt said, "but we'll see as the work
progresses."

“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.
