When Texans RB Ben Tate was asked if there’s room for both him and Arian Foster in Houston for the long haul, he replied: “I can’t answer that."

“But this is where I’m at right now, and this where I’m going to focus all my efforts. When I get (the football), I’ve got to make the best of it. I can’t worry about how many times I get the ball. If I get it twice, I’ve got to make something happen twice. I’ve got to keep my head down, my nose to the (grindstone) and keep working. I can’t worry about anything else.”

Fantasy Impact:

Keeper league owners will want to target Tate in next year's draft so that they'll have the option to keep him when he likely changes teams after his contract expires before the 2014 season.

“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.
