New Houston Texans wide receiver Derrick Mason, acquire...

Oct 15, 2011

New Houston Texans wide receiver Derrick Mason, acquired Tuesday in a trade with the Jets, said his comfort level - physically and mentally - has risen dramatically after two days of practice with his new teammates and coaches.

He expects to make a significant contribution against the Ravens, for whom he played from 2005 through 2010.

"From what they've given me game plan-wise, I'm 100 percent," Mason said. "The things they're asking me to do Sunday I'm sure about. I'm confident I can go play full speed."

Fantasy Impact:

It's nice to see that Mason thinks he's ready to go, but fantasy owners should have no confidence in him.

“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.
