Fantasy Impact:

It’s a tough break for Goff and the Lions, with the quarterback playing the best football of his season while leading the team to two wins in three weeks. Goff was the NFC offensive player of the week two games ago and threw for three touchdowns and no interceptions in the team’s win over the Cardinals on Sunday. Boyle started last time Goff had to miss time but Goff still has a chance to test positive leading up to Week 16.

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.
