Browns OC Norv Turner said during the week that "it all starts with [RB Trent Richardson],'' and that first handoff was symbolic. Richardson darted through the defense -- albeit with no pads or contact until Saturday -- as if homefield advantage were on the line.

"I completely trust it,'' Richardson said of the shin. "I did a lot of rehab on it and I did a lot of stuff in the off-season to build my muscle back up. Right now I’m feeling pretty good. When it comes down to it, you’re going to see my game elevate. ... I’m just going up this hill we’re climbing on. I’m going to keep striving to win every time.”

As the practice wore on, Richardson caught the ball out of the backfield well and turned upfield with speed and agility.

Fantasy Impact:

The main question mark with T-Rich is his durability. Can he hold up to the workload he's likely to see in Turner's offense.

“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

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.
