Although everyone expects QB Joe Webb to start, the Vikings continue to not rule out Brett Favre in what could potentially be his final NFL game. The Vikings are also saying that Favre did pass a preliminary concussion test. Whoever quarterbacks the Vikings will be minus WR Sidney Rice (concussion) and possibly Bernard Berrian, who pulled a quad muscle on Saturday. Berrian will be a game-time decision. Detroit must deal with RB Adrian Peterson, who ran for 160 yards and two TDs in Week 3. Peterson has averaged 131 yards in seven career games against Detroit, which has won three straight games. Defensively, Detroit has prepared for Favre, just in case. Lions MLB DeAndre Levy, who scored a touchdown last week, has made 59 tackles in his last nine games. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh should have an easier time going against Vikings RG Ryan Cook. Suh is looking to get two sacks in order to break Dana Stubblefield’s rookie record of 10.5.

“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.
