Saints beat writer Mike Triplett was asked if Tarvaris Cadet could be used to replace the Darren Sproles role in the offense:

"That’s entirely possible. I probably haven’t mentioned Cadet as much as I should while writing about how much depth the Saints still have at running back. Obviously there is no way anyone should expect Cadet to replicate what Sproles has done the past three years. But coach Sean Payton did mention Cadet a handful of times late last season as someone the Saints tried to get on the field for a few snaps here and there. Now they’ve got a little more room to do so (even though he’s still fourth on the depth chart)."

Cooler weather for Bucs practice today -- Wirfs and Evans practicing again. Still no Zyon McCollum, but Troy Hill and Greg Gaines were practicing today.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“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.

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.
