Yes, Osi Umenyiora had a gigantic ice pack wrapped around his right knee after Friday's practice. No, his knee is no longer an issue. The New York Giants defensive end said it was "all right" this week, although last week's two-sack season debut against the Cardinals did take a toll.

"The next day, I felt like I was in hell," he said. "It was the worst I've ever felt in my life. I wanted to...I can't even tell you. That was my first real physical contact in 10 months. It was football soreness, not my knee."

Fantasy Impact:

Osi remains a good source of sacks in IDP leagues and is a big reason why the Giants are our number one defense this week.

“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.
