According to Dolphins coach Tony Sparano there are no plans to abandon the team’s ground-and-pound approach, especially once the offensive line gets fixed. Sparano said the Dolphins, which averaged 3.7 yards per carry, will remain a run-first offense.

“We’re going to continue to run the football because that’s my nature. It might not be popular with everybody, but that’s what I like to do. There are some teams in this league that got very far being able to do it,” Sparano said at the NFL’s owners meetings.

Anytime a question about Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams, the team’s two free agent tailbacks, was asked Sparano sidestepped the question. However, he didn’t rule out the possibility that one would return.

Fantasy Impact:

Most mock drafts have the Dolphins selecting Alabama's Mark Ingram with their first round pick. If that happens, he will be a valuable fantasy selection come summer.

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.
