Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker kicked an extra point...

Nov 08, 2010

Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker kicked an extra point in New England's game against Cleveland.

Welker, forced into kicking duty because Stephen Gostkowski suffered a thigh injury in the first half, drilled his kick to bring the Patriots within 27-14 with 6:37 left. He then kicked a pop-up to Browns return man Josh Cribbs on the ensuing kickoff.

It's the first time Welker has kicked since 2004, when he made a field goal and extra point as a rookie for Miami.

"You just have to be ready for any sort of situation," he said. "Unfortunately that came up and you just have to make due with what you got."

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.
