The Bears got almost all of their run-game production from tailback Matt Forte, who eclipsed 1,000 yards for the second time in his career. But the other half of their intended backfield duo had one of the least productive seasons for a running back in NFL history. That's right. Chester Taylor finished the season with 267 yards on 112 carries, an average of 2.38 yards per attempt. According to Pro Football Reference's database, Taylor is the first post-merger running back to average less than 2.4 yards per carry with a minimum of 100 carries. I'm not sure I can offer an explanation, but 100 carries is a pretty decent sample size. The Bears didn't get much bang for the $7 million they paid Taylor this season.

“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.
