Dec 12, 2010

Chiefs QB Matt Cassel didn’t even make the trip to San Diego and might even miss next week’s game against the Rams because of an emergency appendectomy early Wednesday. QB Brodie Croyle, who hasn’t played this season, will start for the Chiefs in an AFC West game that the Chargers must win. Croyle did start the 2009 season opener against Baltimore when Cassel was out with a knee injury. RB Jamaal Charles, who had a 56-yard TD run in the season-opening win over San Diego, has only 222 yards against the Chargers in his three-year career. WR Vincent Jackson is expected to see his first action of the year for San Diego.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

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.
