Sean Payton said Alvin Kamara’s lack of targets was due to his role changing with Tony Jones Jr.’s injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Payton said it was also due to the way the Giants were covering him. Kamara was the primary on a few plays but the progression forced the ball elsewhere, according to the tweet. Kamara was targeted one time in Week 4, he has just 10 catches through four weeks for 66 yards, but does have two TDs. In Week 4, Kamara carried 26 times for 120 yards but it was Hill who added two rushing touchdowns.

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.

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.
