Expect Chicago Bears safety Chris Harris to return Monday night when the Bears visit the Lions.

Harris, who missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, continues to improve daily. He practiced for the second straight day Friday although his workload was limited.

"I think I'll be ready, I think I'll be just fine,'' he said. "Felt good with it, limited practice, but with the reps I did get I felt good. I'm confident I'll be able to go Monday.''

The Bears have missed Harris' presence in the lineup, with the safety combinations of Major Wright and Brandon Meriweather and Meriweather and Craig Steltz having their share of struggles.

Fantasy Impact:

Harris helps the Bears defense, but you don't want to start Chicago's defense this week even with him back in the lineup.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.
