Bucs coach Raheem Morris could benefit from a voting backlash against Chiefs coach Todd Haley’s ego when AP voters pick their Coach of the Year. The Bucs were pegged as a three or four-win team this season, but with Morris leading the way and Freeman performing, they are 9-6. A year ago, there was talk that Morris might be a one-and-done coach. He has since made a remarkable recovery, and now ownership is looking at picking up his option, as well as that of GM Mark Dominik. The team also has its two most valuable assistants signed through the 2011 in offensive coordinator Greg Olson and offensive line coach Pete Mangurian.

“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.
