Ravens QB Joe Flacco wants to see the Ravens use more no-huddle, more “quick game.” He said he loves the hurry-up offense.

“I really think that in order to win the whole thing in this league, you’ve got to have a high-powered offense,” Flacco said. “I think we do. It’s just a matter of making our mind up that we are.”

Baltimore has long been known for its ground-and-pound, grinding attack. But Flacco doesn’t see this offense in that light, and believes that formula is a thing of the past.

“Maurice Jones-Drew led the league in rushing last year,” Flacco said. “Who cares? [Jacksonville] didn’t win any games.”

Fantasy Impact:

Flacco isn't getting a lot of attention in drafts. He's ranked as a borderline QB2 in ten-team leagues. But, keep an eye on how he progresses through the season. Right now, you can probably get a better QB2 for your team, but he could be someone you pick up if you get in QB trouble.

“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.
