The Bucs kicking battle between Matt Bryant and Mike N...

Aug 25, 2009

The Bucs kicking battle between Matt Bryant and Mike Nugent has not been much of a tussle.

Bryant has not been able to practice because of a hamstring injury, which should have given Nugent a chance to slam the door on his opposition.

Instead, Nugent has made two of four field goals (missing a 46- and 51-yarder), and has left the door open for Bryant.

"He missed one the other night I would have liked to see him make," Bucs coach Raheem Morris said. "It hit the upright. I would have liked to see him make that one, but he's been doing fine. He kicked the ball off. The kickoff the other night wasn't great, but he'll be fine. He has a powerful leg and that kind of is his strength.

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.
