Limas Sweed is trying to hold off rookie Mike Wallace for the No. 3 job at wide receiver. Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians hinted earlier this week that the competition will continue during the season. He added that both will play no matter who are the No. 3 and No. 4 wide receivers behind starters Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes. "It might be 3A and 3B depending on our package, what we're asking out of those guys," Arians said. "I'm not saying either one's beat the other one out. They'll both play a lot." Sweed leads the Steelers in the preseason with an average of 15.3 yards a catch and has caught seven passes for 107 yards. Wallace has caught four passes for 58 yards and averaged 29.5 yards on a pair of kickoff returns.

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.
