Jul 24, 2013

"I don't do projections," Packers HC Mike McCarthy said of the chances that WR Randall Cobb catches 100 passes. "But I think those things are great. It's important for our players to approach the game with statistical goals and Randall is an excellent team player.

"He'll be given opportunities, there's no question about that. But yes, I think he definitely has a lot more growth in front of him. And it's exciting, for how productive he's been as a young player."

Fantasy Impact:

Cobb is our #12 PPR WR, but he has considerable upside and could be taken at any time after the top 7 WRs are off the board in PPR formats. 100 catches will be tough considering the talent that the Packers have at receiver.

“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.
