Saints | Chris Olave cleared for Week 12 Fri Nov 21, 03:37 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 21, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Olave practiced in full all week, so there was never any doubt he'd be ready for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Falcons. Only Ja'Marr Chase and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have more targets than Olave this year. Get him in your lineup as a WR1. |
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 21, and is listed as questionable for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: Zac Taylor said he'll take as much time as he can to evaluate this situation before making a decision. He has until 4:00 p.m. EST tomorrow to activate Burrow off IR if he intends to play him on Sunday. Burrow logged back-to-back full practices early in the week but was downgraded to limited on Friday. Joe Flacco took Friday's reps with the starters, thickening the plot. It seems the pendulum is swinging back in favor of Flacco. The Bengals have a quick turnaround, with their Week 13 game on Thanksgiving night on Thursday Night Football. Burrow will likely return then, barring any setbacks. |

New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks (personal) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints. OT Taliese Fuaga (ankle) and RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) were limited in practice on Friday, Nov. 21, and are listed as questionable. OT Barry Wesley (hip) practiced in full on Friday and is listed as questionable. WR Chris Olave (ankle), TE Jack Stoll (ankle), and DL Davon Godchaux (rest) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 21, and is listed as questionable for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: After being limited all week, we'd feel much better about Kamara if he had logged a full practice on Friday. It hasn't been a great season for the veteran running back, but he handled 25 touches last week. That volume puts him in RB2 consideration. If Kamara can't play through this ankle injury, expect Devin Neal and Taysom Hill to see increased work. |

Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 21, but has been ruled out for Week 12. OG Kingsley Suamataia (concussion) and WR Xavier Worthy (ankle) fully participated in practice but are listed as questionable. LB Jeffrey Bassa (shoulder), S Jaden Hicks (shoulder), DE George Karlaftis (thumb), DE Charles Omenihu (ankle), OG Trey Smith (back) and OT Jawaan Taylor (ankle, knee) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 21, but is listed as questionable for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: Worthy upgraded his practice participation every day this week, so we're expecting him to play. He's a speedster who can always make his week with one big play, but it hasn't happened consistently this year. He's averaging 35.1 receiving yards per game and has scored just one touchdown all season. He ranks as the per-game WR57 in half-PPR. We're ranking him as a WR4 this week, making him borderline benchable in most leagues. |
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton (hamstring) was limited in practice on Friday, Nov. 21, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Slayton missed last week's game with a hamstring injury but could end up being the biggest beneficiary of playing with Jameis Winston. Slayton's role as a deep threat pairs well with Winston's gunslinger tendencies. In what is projected to be a trailing game script against the Lions, Slayton has some sneaky flex appeal in deep leagues. |

Cincinnati Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt (foot) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Nov. 21.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (pectoral) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Nov. 21.
| Footballguys view: Noah Fant was hardly fantasy-relevant without Gesicki around for the last couple of months. With Gesicki back, they'll likely split tight end duties, making them both useless in fantasy. |

New York Giants CB Paulson Adebo (knee), TE Thomas Fidone II (foot), and LB Kayvon Thibodeaux (shoulder) did not practice on Nov. 21 and have been ruled out for Week 12 against the Detroit Lions. QB Jaxson Dart (concussion) was limited in practice on Friday and has been ruled out. CB Deonte Dabnk (hip) did not practice on Friday and has been listed as questionable. S Tyler Nubin (neck) was limited in practice on Friday and has been listed as questionable. RB Eric Gray (knee) practiced in full on Friday and is listed as questionable.

CB Nic Jones (hamstring), LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (illness), CB Cor'Dale Flott (personal), and CB Rico Payton (illness) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

OL Theo Benedet (quad) was limited in practice on Friday and has been listed as questionable.

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 21, and has been ruled out for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: There was never an expectation that London would play this week, and he might miss additional time. Michael Penix Jr. is out for the year, and Kirk Cousins should close out the season as the Falcons' starter. When London does return, quarterback play will likely suppress his weekly projections. London and Penix's injuries came at a very inopportune time for fantasy managers hoping to rely on him during a championship run. |
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 21, and is not on the injury report for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: Swift is no stranger to the injury report this year, spending nearly every week nursing some ailment. He's got a clean bill of health after an early-week limitation. Fire him up as a high-end RB2 this week against the Steelers. |

Chicago Bears RB Roschon Johnson (thumb) has been ruled out for Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Roschon Johnson returned last week but was relegated purely to a special teams role. He's way off the fantasy radar and droppable in all but deep dynasty leagues. |

Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 12 game even though he has practiced this week, according to head coach Andy Reid. Reid said Pacheco has not suffered a setback.
| Footballguys view: We'll get another game with Kareem Hunt as the starter while Pacheco hopes to return next week. Although Hunt has technically dominated backfield touches over the last couple of weeks, it's led to lackluster production. Despite scoring in each of his last two starts, he's averaged just 12.4 half-PPR points, 18th among running backs. The Chiefs use Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Brashard Smith, and other pass catchers on short targets as an extension of their run game, which limits Hunt's upside. That puts him in the touchdown-or-bust RB3 range against a stout Colts defense. |
Miami Dolphins S Jordan Colbert (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Nov. 21.
Link to storyTennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) has been ruled out of the Week 12 game.
| Footballguys view: Ayomanor hasn't practiced all week after suffering a hamstring injury late last week against the Texans. With Calvin Ridley out for the year and Tyler Lockett released, Van Jefferson and Chimere Dike are the last men standing. Given the state of the Titans' offense, though, neither warrants fantasy consideration outside of desperate managers in deep leagues. |
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (thumb) is questionable for Week 12 against the Chicago Bears, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: Knowing Rodgers' history against the Bears, there's probably a bit of extra motivation for him to play in this game. His injury is to his non-throwing hand, and he's expressed some optimism about suiting up. If Rodgers is active, he's worth consideration in two-quarterback and superflex leagues, but you can likely do better in single-quarterback lineups this week. If Rodgers can't go, Mason Rudolph should get the start. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has been cleared and will play in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: This hamstring injury has kept Boutte out for the last two weeks. In his absence, Mack Hollins has seized the role of the team's primary downfield receiver. There's hope that Boutte will step back in and immediately regain that role, but in his first game back from injury, fantasy managers may want to exercise some patience and see how he looks. |
Kayshon Boutte player page
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (collarbone) had his 21-day practice window opened Friday, Nov. 21.
| Footballguys view: This does not mean Reed will play in Week 12. He'll likely miss this week and reassess in practice next week. However, he's worth a pickup and stash, especially for fantasy managers hurting at wide receiver. |
Jayden Reed player page
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) has been cleared and will play in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: How touches will be split between Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson is still unknown. Henderson has looked phenomenal lately, scoring five touchdowns over his last two games. Given Stevenson's absence, his role might be limited in his first game back. However, this matchup against the Bengals is one worth targeting. Start Henderson as an RB1 and Stevenson as an RB2. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is practicing again Friday, Nov. 21, but will not play.
| Footballguys view: Reporting around Irving has been strange over the last couple of days. National insiders insinuated that his extended absence has been due to mental health struggles, causing panic among fantasy managers. Buccaneers beat reporters have quickly squashed those rumors, offering more context and grace. Fox Sports' Greg Auman said Irving is "in a good place and close to a return to playing." Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud added, "Mentally, Irving struggled with being injured and away from his team for the first time in his career. His personal support system has also been fractured by the loss of family members." Unfortunately, he will not play this week, but hopes to get his mind and body right and return soon. Irving is likely to play again in Week 13. Sean Tucker and Rachaad White should shoulder the load in Week 12, making them both viable flex plays. |

Arizona Cardinals OT Jonah Williams (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season.
Link to storyNew York Giants QB Jaxson Dart (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 12. QB Jameis Winston will start against the Detroit Lions.
| Footballguys view: After exiting Week 10's game with a concussion, Dart will miss his second straight outing. There are concerns about what his usage will look like when he returns. Dart leads all quarterbacks in designed runs, which many are blaming for both his concussion and Brian Daboll's firing. While Mike Kafka will surely prioritize Dart's health, it's in the young quarterback's DNA to run. We'll have to wait at least one more week to see how Dart looks under his new head coach. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (leg) is practicing Friday, Nov. 21.
| Footballguys view: After logging a full practice on Thursday, it's good to see Godwin back on the field Friday. All signs point to a potential Week 12 return. It's reasonable to expect some limitations in his first game back. He's a risky WR4 this week against the Rams, but could provide solid value down the stretch for fantasy managers in need of wide receiver reinforcements. |
