Four players are competing for two spots - that's the likely scenario at receiver - with the Jaguars set to finish the preseason.

Fifth-round pick Jarett Dillard figures to be a prominent player in the discussion, despite experiencing a case of the drops early in training camp. In fact, Dillard expects to make the final 53-man roster, saying the game has finally slowed down for him.

"I do [think I'll be on the roster]," Dillard said. "I'm very confident in what I've done and think I've shown some things in practice and games that I can play at this level."

It should be a tough decision for the Jaguars, considering the club typically keeps five receivers on the active roster. Torry Holt, TRoy Williamson and Mike Sims-Walker appear to be locks, meaning that Dillard will be competing with fellow rookies Tiquan Underwood and Mike Thomas, in addition to Nate Hughes, for two roster spots.

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.
