When asked what he likes about Jaguars 7th round pick, WR Tiquan Underwood, Jaguars Senior Editor Vic Ketchman responded:

Vic: I like his size and speed. Quite frankly, I’m astonished that a guy with his size and speed lasted into the seventh round. I know Kenny Britt became the go-to guy at Rutgers last year, but all you have to do is put on the tape from the previous season, when Underwood had a big year, to see what the guy can do. I like all three of the Jaguars’ rookie wide receivers, but I’m looking for a home run kind of guy and I think Underwood has the potential to be that guy. I like his upside. If I’m wrong about him, I’ll admit it, but I see no reason not to express my excitement for what I saw of Underwood in OTAs. Can he do it with the pads on? That’s the question that has to be answered now. Pads on is a whole different ballgame.

“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.
