Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. thinks BenJarvus Green-Ellis' spot on the roster may be in jeopardy.

Giovani Bernard will lock down the starting position with Jeremy Hill assuming the secondary, power role. Cedric Peerman will be kept because of his invaluable special teams experience and success at back in a pinch. The competition ends up being between Rex Burkhead, 24, and Green-Ellis, 29, with youth winning out, as it often does in the NFL.

Fantasy Impact:

There was a quote in the story by Marv Lewis that read "it's a young man's game," which is why Dehner, and many others, think Law Firm is let go at some point leading up to the season. Look for rookie Hill to be the change of pace back to Bernard and likely steal some short-yardage TDs. We rank Hill 39th and he's getting picked in the 11th round in early drafts.

“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.

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.
