Report: RB Willis McGahee expected to play

Dec 10, 2011

Unofficially, a league source has indicated Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee is expected to play Sunday when the Chicago Bears travel to Denver.

McGahee has been one of the unsung heroes in Denver’s push to 7-5, with six 100-yard games. He should receive serious consideration for the comeback player of the year award.

He’d likely prefer a playoff berth. With a win over the Bears on Sunday, the Broncos will move closer to making that happen.

Fantasy Impact:

The signs have been positive regarding McGahee's availability and this is another step in the right direction. It's not an easy matchup for the veteran, but he's still a worthy starter unless you are really loaded in the backfield.

“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.
