Running back Ben Tate painted a more realistic picture ...

Dec 10, 2013

Running back Ben Tate painted a more realistic picture of the uncertainty surrounding the Texans when he was asked Monday if he believed he'd be back next season. Tate is a free agent-to-be.

"That's something I can't really answer right now," Tate said, via the Houston Chronicle. "Just the fact so many things are going to change once the season's over -- different head coaches, different people fired everywhere else.

"That's something I haven't really thought about yet," Tate added. "That's something I'll probably think about after the next three weeks."

Fantasy Impact:

Tate will be a free agent and will opt to sign for big money for a starting job - if he can find it. Staying healthy is a big issue for Tate, but if he can find a job getting the bulk of the work, he could have RB2 value next season.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
