Fantasy Impact:

There hasn't been much of an update on Jones. Jones was tended to quickly by medical staff before a cart was called to take him back to the locker room. Early in the second half, Jones was considered questionable to return with an ankle injury, according to the story. Jones is the handcuff to Kamara so owners of both backs will want to monitor this going forward. It could mean a bigger role for Kamara with Washington serving as the team's RB2.

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.
