If the Jets are going to get back to their ground-and-pound attack, Shonn Greene will have to play at his best. Rex Ryan said he’s pleased with how the fourth-year running back has looked lately. Green had 11 carries for 36 yards last week against the Giants.

“I thought Shonn ran the ball really well (against the Giants),” said Ryan. “I love the way he saw that vision... you saw him squaring those pads up and he was running through. He was feeling it, there was no question.”

“If it was up to Shonn, he would have carried it 30 times," Ryan added. "I saw him kind of in that groove, so I feel really good about where Shonn is now.”

Fantasy Impact:

Like Michael Turner, there are those who would like to write Greene off because he's not a very dynamic runner. However he is slated for 250+ carries and will provide good value in the 5th/6th round with that 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

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.

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.
