With backup QB Rex Grossman replacing a benched Donovan...

Dec 19, 2010

With backup QB Rex Grossman replacing a benched Donovan McNabb, you can bet that the Redskins will pound the Cowboys with RB Ryan Torain, who gained 158 yards in the first half last week against Tampa Bay. Torain, who is a powerful runner, reminds many in Dallas of Stephen Davis. Washington would like to get TE Chris Cooley and WR Anthony Armstrong (six catches, 52 yards against the Bucs) more involved to help Grossman, a favorite of Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. The two were both in Houston last season. Of course, WR Santana Moss, who caught the tying touchdown last week, has always hurt the Cowboys. A lot of the success of Washington’s passing game will depend on how well rookie LT Trent Williams fares against Dallas pass rusher DeMarcus Ware.

“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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
