Oct 12, 2012

Cardinals RB William Powell (head, probable) took full practice reps all week and is probable for Week 6. Powell will likely get the first shot at the starting gig, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter went on to say there is a “buzz” about Powell within the organization. Starting RBs are hard to come by, but expectations should be tempered. The Cardinals have struggled to run the ball all year and that is unlikely to change with Powell toting the rock, though the Bills present a great matchup. LaRod Stephens-Howling (hip, probable) took full practice reps again Friday and is probable for Week 6. He will be in the mix as well, especially on third down.

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.
