Apr 20, 2013

It’s likely that RB Andre Brown will share backfield duties with explosive second-year man David Wilson. But Brown believes he can handle the bulk of the action.

“Third-down back, pass protection, goal line, short yardage – all that,” Brown said. “I can’t wait to do it. Because I want to show, other than (scoring) the one-yard touchdown, I want to show more than what I have.

“I feel like I’m a home run hitter, too. As long as I go out there and produce and show the world my versatility, the sky’s the limit.”

Fantasy Impact:

Brown is the reason we're not crazy about David Wilson in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. He's going to be the Giants' goal line back and could have an even bigger role given how well he played in 2012.

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.
