The Bengals signed first round pick TE Tyler Eifert, who helped lead the Fighting Irish to the National Title game as he registered 50 receptions for 685 yards and 4 touchdowns.

In his junior season, he had 63 receptions for 803 yards and five touchdowns, and broke the school’s TE single-season receptions and receiving yards record.

Fantasy Impact:

Eifert, the top TE prospect, to the Bengals in this year's draft was a surprise considering they already had Jermaine Gresham. As a result, Gresham's value takes a hit as a low-end TE1 to now a low-end TE2, as he's currently ranked 18th at the position. Eifert likely cuts into Gresham's production, especially in the red zone.

“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

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.

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.
