The Minnesota Vikings updated their injury report Saturday to confirm that cornerback Chris Cook will not play against the Packers Sunday.

Cook isn’t hurt; he’s currently behind bars following a domestic assault charge.

It’s not the Vikings really had an option here. Cook is currently being held in jail without bail, and it’s expected that he will remain there until Monday morning.

Cook risks eventual punishment from the league on the issue, especially since he has a prior arrest for a gun charge. He was eventually acquitted for that charge.

Fantasy Impact:

As if Aaron Rodgers needed another boost in value. If you are playing against Rodgers in your league, you are going to need to score a lot of points to win.

“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.
