Cleveland Browns running back Montario Hardesty knows what you're thinking.

He knows you think his latest injury, the torn calf muscle, means he really is injury prone and that he'll never be able to stay healthy.

But he's out to prove you wrong, beginning with Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Hardesty is listed as questionable for the game but fully expects to play.

"Yeah, I'm ready," he said. "I'm confident and excited to get back out there. I've got five games left, and I plan on going out there and having my best five games."

Hardesty said he thinks he can handle a full load if called upon.

Fantasy Impact:

It's good to see Hardesty thinks he can handle a full load, but Hardesty is not a fantasy option in a reserve role behind Peyton Hillis against one of the best defenses in the league.

“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.
