Buffalo Bills General Manager Buddy Nix said he's looking for a "franchise impact" player -- regardless of the position -- with the third overall pick in the NFL draft.

While acknowledging the obvious fact the Bills still have "a ways to go" in their building effort, Nix says he's encouraged by the competitiveness the team showed last season.

He thinks the Bills probably have to add a quarterback to the roster at some point in the draft. He says the team is committed to sticking with the 3-4 defensive scheme. He likes Demetrius Bell as the starting left tackle, and he thinks Eric Wood is probably going to shift from guard to center. He also is confident linebacker Shawne Merriman will revive his career.

“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.
