Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. There have been no further updates on either guy. We'll see if they get back on the practice field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's game vs. the Jets.
Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on his foot injury. WR Josh Downs (shoulder) is not expected to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, while WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) also missed Wednesday's practice. That leaves Michael Pittman, Adonai Mitchell, and Anthony Gould as the three healthy WRs on Indianapolis' active roster.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Doud Pederson was non-committal on Lawrence's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Texans before practice. We'll continue to track his status over the next few days. Lawrence shouldn't be part of your Week 13 fantasy plans, but his return would be good news for WR Brian Thomas and TE Evan Engram.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to play against the Texans this weekend -- and makes Jacksonville's backfield one to avoid in fantasy lineups. It's unclear how work will be divvied between Bigsby and Travis Etienne. And Houston ranks fifth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He suffered a hamstring injury prior to Atlanta's Week 12 bye, but that isn't listed on this week's injury report. This Achilles was on the Week 11 injury report but didn't keep Mooney from playing. We're expecting him to play against the Chargers this weekend but will track his status over the next few days.
Chargers TE Will Dissly (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on the groin issue after Dissly seemed to make it out of Monday night's loss to the Ravens okay. We'll see if he gets back on the practice field tomorrow.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) is out for Thursday's game vs. the Giants. He had no chance to clear concussion protocol in just four days but should be back for Week 14. His absence again leaves TE duties to Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford. Schoonmaker delivered a 3-55-1 line in last week's win over the Commanders, but he saw only four targets on a 59% route rate. He's in play in Thanksgiving DFS contests but would be a shaky start in season-long leagues.
Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) has been activated from IR. That puts him in line to play vs. the Giants on Thanksgiving. Cooks has been out since Week 4 and averaged just 2.3 catches and 23 yards across the first four games of the season. He should be nowhere near redraft rosters and isn't a recommended play in any Thanksgiving DFS contests.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. He was a full-go in Wednesday's practice, and we've heard nothing to suggest that he's in legitimate danger of missing this one. St. Brown can stay penciled into Week 13 fantasy lineups. Just check back around 11 am ET tomorrow to make sure he's active.
Lions RB David Montgomery (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. He put in a full practice on Wednesday, though, and all indications are that he's on track to play. We'll get Detroit's inactives around 11 am ET tomorrow.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game vs. the Dolphins. He never had a chance to clear protocol in four days but will likely be back for Week 14's game against the Lions. Doubs' absence on Thanksgiving should mean a big boost in playing time for WR Dontayvion Wicks.
Jets RB Breece Hall did not practice on Wednesday. HC Jeff Ulbrich said Hall "got nicked in the knee" back in Week 11 and is still dealing with some soreness. "So we’re just gonna protect him from himself a little bit today," Ulbrich added. "We’ll see how the week goes along. Still hopeful that he’s gonna play for us, we’ll see." RB Braelon Allen would likely step into a workhorse role if Hall is unable to play vs. the Seahawks on Sunday. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Giants QB Tommy DeVito appears to be a longshot to play on Thanksgiving due to his forearm injury. He is formally listed as questionable, but Drew Lock is in line to start, according to reports. DeVito's injury will be evaluated further.
The Lions will place WR Kalif Raymond (foot) on IR, knocking him out for at least the next four games, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Raymond has run a route on just 36% of Detroit's pass plays this season and averaged 1.9 targets per game, so there's minimal fantasy impact here. We'll likely see WR Tim Patrick play more snaps with Raymond out, but he remains off the redraft radar.
Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Cowboys. He went from a limited practice on Tuesday to no practice on Wednesday. And, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, DeVito is not flying with the team to Dallas but will join them later. It seems like there's a good chance QB Drew Lock gets the start for the G-Men on Thanksgiving. It's a situation to avoid outside of large-field Thanksgiving DFS tournaments.
The Vikings have signed QB Daniel Jones to their practice squad, per multiple reports. Jones recently cleared waivers, as expected, and reportedly wanted to sign with a contending team. That’s certainly the case with the 9-2 Vikings. Eventually, Jones should slide into the backup role behind Sam Darnold. But the former Giant remains a shaky bet to start come Week 1 of 2025. The Vikings just invested a Round 1 pick in Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins will miss time with a knee sprain he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Ravens, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He’s out this week against the Falcons and up in the air after that," Rapoport adds. We'll look for more details on Dobbins' injury and timeline for return, but it sounds like there's a chance he misses multiple games. We'd try to keep Dobbins stashed on fantasy benches for now. His absence leaves RB Gus Edwards as the Chargers' lead runner vs. Atlanta this weekend. We're expecting RB Hassan Haskins to mix in on early downs and RB Kimani Vidal to handle most of the passing downs.
Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report. It was just a walkthrough for Vegas but means that Mattison has a chance to return for Friday's game vs. the Chiefs. RB Zamir White (quad) remained out on Tuesday. We'll keep you posted on this backfield over the next few days, but it's a situation to try to avoid with the Raiders 12-point underdogs against Kansas City's top-ranked RB defense.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. It's his first full practice since his Week 2 injury and puts him on track to play vs. the Raiders on Friday. We'll look for clues on how touches will be divvied between Pacheco and RB Kareem Hunt in that one, but there's tons of fantasy upside in the backfield with the Chiefs 12-point favorites against the 26th-ranked RB defense.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs (concussion) did not practice on Tuesday. He won't be cleared in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Dolphins, which will mean a boost in snaps for WR Dontayvion Wicks. He'd be a risky start in season-long leagues but is certainly in play in Thanksgiving DFS contests.
