Cardinals WR Michael Floyd is veering on to being a given as a break out candidate this year.

Last year’s No. 1 draft pick looked better at the end of last season but more importantly clearly had a better handle on himself and his role this offseason – even with a brand-new offense. Floyd has been an important target during OTAs and minicamp and there is little question the coaches are prepping him to take on a large load.

WR Larry Fitzgerald isn’t going anywhere, but with Carson Palmer behind center and Fitz drawing the defense, Floyd has the potential to have a pretty big season under HC Bruce Arians’ offensive scheme.

Fantasy Impact:

Palmer and Arians should give a boost in value to the Cards' weapons, Floyd included. He currently sits at 43rd on our WR list with an ADP of the 11th round. We do see some sleeper potential there for Floyd this season.

“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

Related Players: Eric Saubert

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.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

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.
