Fantasy Impact:

Fitz could be cleared by Week 7, according to the report. But as the story said, he is far from assured of regaining his starting position as Washington's quarterback. Heinicke, a late-season revelation in 2020, continues to impress coaches and teammates and has a legitimate shot to keep the job if he continues to perform. There seems to be strong support from the coaches to keep Heinicke on the field when Fitz comes back, too. The team is eager to get him back, but it's more about depth, the story went on to say.

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.
