ESPN: Mike Holmgren's hopes of avoiding the second 1-5 start of
his 17-year coaching career rest upon a backup quarterback who has
a sore leg and will make his first start in two years. Seattle's
coach confirmed Friday that Seneca Wallace will start Sunday night
at Tampa Bay (4-2). This week's practices proved Wallace's 5-week-
old calf injury has healed enough for him to replace Charlie Frye,
the third-stringer who was skittish and ineffective in last week's
loss to Green Bay."He looked OK," coach Mike Holmgren told The
Seattle Times Friday. "But more importantly, probably, is that he
feels OK. It's going to be his ball game I believe unless
something happens in the next two days. And I've got confidence in
him."

“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.
