May 23, 2012

New Buccaneers TE Dallas Clark said that his litany of recent injuries — "the wrist, the pinched nerve, the broken leg" — is behind him. He doesn't think he's that far removed from the kind of success he had in 2009, when he had a career year with 100 receptions.

"Injuries are part of the game and I've had a couple down years with injury, but it is what it is," Clark said. "I'm not hampered by it. It's not slowing me down. I still feel I can come out and perform every day."

Fantasy Impact:

Clark's positivity is great, but 2009 was three seasons ago and he'll have Josh Freeman -- not Peyton Manning -- throwing him the ball in 2012.

“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

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
