Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) won't play vs. the Broncos this weekend, HC John Harbaugh said Friday. Dobbins returned to practice this week after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in late October and has a chance to make it back for Week 14. He's a fine stash in fantasy but is unlikely to be anything close to a league-winner. Gus Edwards will operate as Baltimore's lead back vs. Denver on Sunday.
Bucs RB Leonard Fournette (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. That should put him in line to return for Monday night's game vs. the Saints. The question now becomes how snaps and touches will be divvied between Fournette and rookie Rachaad White. In Fournette's last game, White got the start, but Fournette tallied 14 carries and 1 target to White’s 11 carries and 0 targets before exiting with that hip injury.
Bucs WR Russell Gage (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see if he can make it back for Monday night's game vs. the Saints, which would be his first action since Week 7. Gage won't be a bankable fantasy play if he does suit up against New Orleans.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson missed Thursday's practice with an ankle injury. Perhaps that explains why he played a season-low 47% of the offensive snaps last week. We'll see if Johnson is able to get back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Monday night's game vs. the Bucs.
Colts TE Jelani Woods (shoulder, quad) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. The rookie broke out for a 8-98 line in Monday night's loss to the Steelers but is now in danger of missing Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We'll see how Woods is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. TE Kylen Granson (illness) has been a full-go in practice this week and should be back for the Dallas game.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We're expecting him to play through this injury vs. the Chargers on Sunday, like he did last weekend when he dismantled the Seahawks.
Chargers WR Mike Williams (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's a long shot to play vs. the Raiders this weekend.
Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) was limited again in Thursday's practice. It means that he still hasn't fully cleared the protocol. We're still tentatively expecting Mixon to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend, but we'll continue to keep you updated on his progress.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He's fully expected to return for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. “I feel great,” he said afterward. There's still a chance that the 'Niners need to scale back McCaffrey's snaps and/or touches due to that knee tendinitis vs. Miami this weekend, but he remains a must-start in fantasy lineups.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (quad) did not practice on Thursday, after being limited on Wednesday. It's unclear if this was a planned day off or if Samuel suffered a new injury on Wednesday. We'll hopefully have a better idea of Samuel's status for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins by Friday night.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We're tentatively expecting him to return for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers, but we'll get another update on Mostert's status tomorrow.
Giants WR Richie James (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. Washington, but check back tomorrow for another update.
Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Vikings this weekend, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Browns TE David Njoku (knee) missed practice again on Thursday. He's now looking unlikely to play vs. the Texans this weekend, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (foot) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Lions this weekend, but we'll see what Etienne does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (rib, thumb) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's expected to play vs. the Bears this weekend, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (ankle) was a full-go in Thursday's practice, putting him in line to return for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. Likely isn't a viable fantasy play, but his presence takes TE Josh Oliver out of consideration in even the deepest of fantasy leagues.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (quad) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. So it doesn't look like that quad will be an issue vs. the Broncos this weekend. Jackson is safe to keep in Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Steelers RB Najee Harris (oblique) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Falcons this weekend. RB Benny Snell was added to Thursday's injury report and limited in practice with a knee. We'll check back on his status tomorrow.
