4for4 reports: The Ravens and Titans use the same formula - run
the ball, control the clock, avoid turnovers, play strong defense
and score via a short field. Ironically, both defenses have to
much strength around the box to make that game plan a reality. In
turn, one or both of these teams could be forced to pass +60% of
the time. That should favor the Titans, as their QB owns a
significant edge when it comes to big-game experience. Kerry Collins has played in two Super Bowls and he's still capable of
making plays when called on. And that's taking nothing away from
Joe Flacco, a rookie who's had a special year. However, in a
defensive slugfest, Flacco's lack of experience might be the only
thing that separates these two like-minded teams.

“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

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.
