Knowshon needs to get to know the offense: Denver top pick Knowshon Moreno signed Friday after missing a week of training camp. It was paramount the running back, who was the No. 12 overall draft choice in April, sign his deal. He is expected to be a vital part of the Denver offense. If he can catch on quickly, Moreno should become Denver's primary back soon. Denver didn't use the No. 12 pick in the draft for a part-time player -- not with all of those needs on defense. Denver coach Josh McDaniels thinks Moreno can be a three-down back. He will be pushed into serious playing time soon now that he is signed.

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.
