Oct 14, 2011

It looks as if the Giants will catch a break this week that could help their sluggish running game finally get off the ground. Bills nose tackle Kyle Williams hasn't practiced because of a left foot injury and there's a chance he won't play Sunday.

Williams aggravated the problem in the third quarter of last week's victory over the Eagles. As the anchor of the Bills' defensive line, the 301-pounder was selected to his first Pro Bowl last year. Since entering the NFL in 2006, Williams has the fourth most tackles (300) of all defensive linemen.

Fantasy Impact:

If Williams can't play, it could mean big things for Ahmad Bradshaw, who will already see extra touches with Brandon Jacobs sidelined.

“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.
