Jun 03, 2012

The Panthers wanted to extend RB Jonathan Stewart's contract earlier this offseason, but were unable to strike a long-term deal.

They've not given up hope of doing so.

"I definitely hope things work out," Stewart said. "I want to be back. I think we have a lot of weapons on offense and we can be a dangerous team."

Fantasy Impact:

Stewart's fate was probably sealed by the contract that DeAngelo Williams signed last year. Fantasy owners who are in keeper leagues may want to target Stewart on the chance that he signs elsewhere next summer. He'll be a 26-year-old free agent in 2013 and has the talent to be a top 10 RB if he were to get a full workload.

“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.

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.
