Jun 01, 2014

The Ravens actually have their most depth at running back since John Harbaugh took over as coach in 2008. There are four legitimate runners on this roster with Ray Rice, Bernard Pierce, Lorenzo Taliaferro and Justin Forsett. Pierce should be motivated to show he's more like the back in 2012 than last year. He just needs to stay healthy. Taliaferro is a rookie fourth-round pick who is the big back that the Ravens have been seeking for the past few years. He made headlines this past two week after being arrested for a couple of misdemeanors, which hasn't significantly changed their high expectations of him. And Forsett is a fast, elusive third-down type of a back. If Rice is suspended, the Ravens will go with Pierce. If Pierce isn't healthy, the Ravens will decide between Taliaferro and Forsett.

Fantasy Impact:

Pierce is nursing a shoulder injury but should be ready for camp. He will play a key role if Rice is suspended.

“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.
