ESPN: Rookie Peyton Hillis has a torn right hamstring and is done
for the season, becoming the fifth Denver Broncos tailback to go
on injured reserve. HC Shanahan said Hillis will need eight weeks
to recover and might need surgery. Hillis was hurt Sunday after an
acrobatic catch against the Chiefs when he was bent over with his
right leg planted and his knee locked on the tackle. Hillis joined
tailbacks Andre Hall, Michael Pittman, Anthony Alridge and Ryan Torain on IR. Plus, Selvin Young, the starter when the season
began, has carried just once in the last two months because of a
torn groin.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
