49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) expected to practice Tuesday

Fantasy Impact:

As the story said, the team won’t release an injury report detailing his level of participation until Thursday, but his return to the field is a good sign for his availability for the opener. The Niners were probably playing it very safe with who was most likely the number-one pick in your fantasy drafts. And, it's no surprise to see him back to work leading up to the first game of the season. CMC owners should still consider backing him up with Mason if at all possible.

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.
