Extremely doubtful Luck plays, which is obvious by Steelers now being -9. Playing on Thursday probably does not give enough time to clear protocol.

Wednesday Update

IND - QB Andrew Luck not spotted at practice

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (concussion) did not practice Tuesday, Nov. 22 - the team's final practice prior to hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12.

The Colts play on Thursday in a Thanksgiving matchup against the Steelers. It will be next to impossible to see Luck suit up for that game.

CIN - RB Rex Burkhead to pick up slack

Source: Bengals.com - Geoff Hobson

Cincinnati Bengals WR/RB Rex Burkhead will take RB Giovani Bernard's (knee) place on third downs and serve as a receiver, runner and blocker. He only has 38 regular-season touches from scrimmage with 19 carries for 70 yards and 19 catches for 167 yards in four seasons. However, the team has expressed confidence in him stepping up into Bernard's role.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Burkhead is more than capable as a receiver, and he makes for a nice stash play in deep PPR leagues. He can catch passes out of the backfield, or Burkhead can be lined up outside (or in the slot) like a receiver. His versatility and willingness to run hard between the tackles make him an interesting weapon who will get more time with Bernard out.

Updating previous reports, Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler (shoulder) is believed to have a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He's receiving a second opinion.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The second opinion may reveal the same thing, and this means Cutler is likely to be shut down for the year. Outside of RB Jordan Howard, we can't trust any Bears player with Cutler out, Alshon Jeffery suspended and Zach Miller down for the year.

Houston Texans WR Will Fuller (knee) avoided setbacks in his return Monday, Nov. 21, in Week 11.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

He didn't do much against the Raiders on Monday night, but at least he's trending in the right direction. As he gets healthier, Fuller's fantasy stock slightly improves. We're not wild about the Texans passing game (thanks Brock!), but Fuller is at least 'what the heck' flex option as he gets back up to full speed.

MIN - RB Adrian Peterson back in Week 15?

Source: ESPN.com - Ben Goessling

Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (knee) is making progress in his recovery from surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee and he could be back on the field my mid-to-late December, league sources said Monday, Nov. 21. He had an exam late last week and might start running this week.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Fantasy owners getting ready for the fantasy playoffs need to keep this in mind, and add Peterson if he's out there on the waiver wire. The Vikings haven't been able to run the ball with much success, but getting Peterson back would certainly help that. He might return for the Week 15 game against the Indianapolis Colts or the Week 16 road game against the Green Bay Packers.

SD - RB Ronnie Hillman joins the Chargers

Free-agent RB Ronnie Hillman (Vikings) was claimed off waivers by the San Diego Chargers Tuesday, Nov. 22. WR Griff Whalen was waived in a corresponding move.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The Chargers needed more depth behind starter Melvin Gordon. We don't see Hillman having much fantasy value with his new team. If he makes the active roster, Hillman may only mix in a tiny bit as a third-down back.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert was double covered more often than usual in the Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Bills could afford to send more help against Eifert with WR A.J. Green (hamstring) exiting the game early.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
It's tough for Eifert to get open against bracket coverage. Eifert can expect to see more of the same in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens with Green sidelined.

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said he would love to be a head coach again someday; he just doesn't plan on succeeding head coach Bill Belichick when the time comes.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

We'll see if McDaniels has matured as a coach and a leader if/when he gets another shot at a head coaching gig. His time in Denver was cut short, and he eventually found his way back to the Patriots. Most felt he would just take over in New England when Belichick is done. That may not be the case if another team gets him an offer he can't refuse.

New England Patriots WR Malcolm Mitchell appears unlikely to join the long list of the team's misses in the draft at the position. Tom Brady heaped several compliments on his rookie receiver recently, praising his intelligence and professionalism among other things.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

A fourth-round pick out of Georgia this year, Mitchell plays larger than his size and has the ability to create explosive plays downfield. It's a part of the Patriots offense that could be further explored as the postseason nears. Fantasy owners need to add Mitchell off the waiver wire in case that happens. Throw out a 5-10 percent bid to see if you can land the rookie.

Baltimore Ravens QB David Fales was signed off the practice squad to the Chicago Bears' active roster Tuesday, Nov. 22.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

The Bears drafted Fales in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL draft out of San Jose State. He was with the team for two seasons before following former head coach Marc Trestman to the Ravens. Fales has incredible anticipation which helps him overcome a severe lack of arm strength. With Jay Cutler likely out for the year, the Bears just need depth behind Matt Barkley.

SF - RB Carlos Hyde the main focus

Source: ESPN.com - Nick Wagoner

San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde is the main focal point of the offense, according to head coach Chip Kelly. 'It's just overall the way our team is built,' Kelly said. 'We're built to run the football. Carlos is the main focus of what we're doing offensively.'

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Hyde is the centerpiece of the offense, largely because he's the best player on that side of the ball. He is running hard, but the rest of the team doesn't always put Hyde in the position to keep getting fed the rock. Hyde can produce as a receiver out of the backfield, so getting 100 or more all-purpose yards (like he did in Week 11) isn't out of the question on a weekly basis. That puts him firmly in RB2 territory regardless of the matchup.

BUF - Hopeful WR Sammy Watkins can play

Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot) might be able to return in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Rex Ryan said Monday, Nov. 21, he is hopeful Watkins will be ready. 'I'm speaking on behalf of every Buffalo Bills fan. I hope he can play some,' Ryan said. He added, however, that Watkins will not play unless he is ready.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

This is a big week for Watkins, and the team needs him in a bad way. With Robert Woods (knee) banged up, they would get a boost by Watkins' return. If Watkins can't play, then the passing game will consist of guys like Percy Harvin, Justin Hunter and Marquise Goodwin.

CHI - WR Kevin White won't return in 2016

Chicago Bears WR Kevin White (leg) will not come back from the Reserve/Injured list this season, according to beat writer Brad Biggs. He will go into his third NFL season in 2017 with 191 total snaps under his belt, or the equivalent of about three games through two pro seasons.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Injuries have held back White's pro career, and dynasty owners don't really know what they have in him. There is great potential there -- if he's ever healthy and if these injuries haven't robbed him of some of his natural ability.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Thomas's contribution had been dwindling as the year had gone on, with only short garbage time touchdowns saving him in some weeks. Ben Koyack will get all of the work at tight end with Marcedes Lewis also out.

Sunday Update

NE - TE Rob Gronkowski cleared to fly

Source: Boston Herald - Jeff Howe

Updating a previous story, New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (chest) made the trip to New York on Saturday, Nov. 26. Gronkowski was not cleared to fly last week on the team's cross-country trip to visit the San Francisco 49ers.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

He's a game-time decision for the game against the Jets. Fantasy owners need to have another option at the ready in case Gronk can't play.

BUF - Two Bills RBs to serve as backup

Source: The Buffalo News - Nick Veronica

Buffalo Bills RBs Jonathan Williams and Reggie Bush will see playing time behind RB LeSean McCoy in Week 12 since RB Mike Gillislee (hamstring) is ruled out.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

McCoy (thumb) is dealing with his own injury but should be able to carry his normal workload. We appreciate Williams and have a lot of interest in the rookie RB, but only in dynasty formats. If McCoy's thumb is even the slightest issue, then perhaps Bush would get worked in as a change-of-pace back. McCoy should post RB1 numbers against the Jags on Sunday.

JAX - Coach expects RB T.J. Yeldon to play

Source: ESPN.com - Mike DiRocco

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said he expects RB T.J. Yeldon (ankle) to play in Week 12 even though Yeldon is listed as questionable for the game.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Yeldon could play, but his workload may be small due to this lingering ankle problem. That makes Chris Ivory the primary back for the Jaguars on Sunday. We think Ivory performs like a RB2 for fantasy owners against the Bills in Week 12.

SD - WR Keenan Allen may be ready for workouts

Source: The San Diego Union-Tribune - Tom Krasovic

San Diego Chargers WR Keenan Allen (knee) recently started to work out on a treadmill and expects to be ready for organized team activities during the offseason.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

We still appreciate Allen's immense natural talent. He's a star when healthy, but problems staying durable have knocked off his pro career. In four years with the Chargers, Allen has never played a full 16-game regular season.

PIT - TE Ladarius Green on the upswing?

Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - Joe Rutter
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Ladarius Green played only 14-of-54 snaps in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts after getting 20 total snaps in his first two weeks back from injury, but head coach Mike Tomlin sounded as if he's ready to see his level of participation increase.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Green is in an amazing offense, and his physical talent has always been elite. However, he's never really played up to that potential in the pros. We'll stash him in deeper leagues hoping for a breakout, but we're not banking on it to happen.

Nice to see brilliant coaching move by John Harbaugh on last play of the game to seal the win.

Monday Update

TEN - WR Rishard Matthews scores another one

Source: The Associated Press

Tennessee Titans WR Rishard Matthews finished with three receptions for a team-high 64 yards and a touchdown in the Week 12 game against the Chicago Bears. He was targeted seven times, also a team high.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Matthews has eight touchdowns in the last eight games. He's a solid WR2 despite playing in one of the lowest volume passing games in the league.

CHI - WR Marquess Wilson totals 125 yards, TD

Source: The Associated Press

Chicago Bears WR Marquess Wilson hauled in eight receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown in the Week 12 game against Tennessee Titans. He was targeted 11 times.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Wilson was also one of many Bears receivers who let down his quarterback with drops or an even bigger day was there. Wilson is only 24 and Alshon Jeffery may not be back with the team next year. He is giving teams including the Bears something to think about as he enters free agency.

Back to Top

CHI - RB Jordan Howard totals 127 yards

Source: The Associated Press

Chicago Bears rookie RB Jordan Howard rushed 18 times for 84 yards in the Week 12 game against the Tennessee Titans and he added three catches for 43 yards on five targets.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Howard's value has been as durable as any back in the league once he got installed as the starter. The Bears have dabbled in RBBC this year, but any time they have relied on Howard, he has delivered. He'll be a borderline RB1 against San Francisco next week.

OAK - QB Derek Carr injures ring finger

Source: CBS Sports - Television

Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr (finger) suffered a dislocation to either his right pinkie in the third quarter of the Week 12 game against the Carolina Panthers, announcer Phil Simms speculated. Carr ran off to the locker room for treatment.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Carr returned with a glove on his right hand and continued to play. He described it as "Probably some of the worst pain I've felt in my life".

LA - QB Jared Goff shows improvement

Source: The Associated Press

Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff threw 20-of-32 for 214 yards and three touchdowns in a 49-21 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Goff was effective early against the Saints defense, but didn't do much as the Saints opened up a huge second half lead. He showed good touch on the touchdown to Tavon Austin and Goff is displaying some things to work with for the future, but that future is still at least a year away for the Rams, who are going to remain around or below .500 yet again under Jeff Fisher.

MIA - WR Jarvis Landry's struggles continue

Source: NFL.com

Miami Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry caught four passes for 47 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Even in a week that Ryan Tannehill was high successful against the 49ers weak pass defense, Landry was quiet for fantasy leagues. He's more bench depth than WR3/Flex heading into a matchup with the Ravens.

Back to Top

NO - WR Willie Snead engages in razzle-dazzle

Source: The Associated Press

New Orleans Saints WR Willie Snead threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to RB Tim Hightower in a 49-21 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Snead didn't have a big game as a receiver, but his touchdown pass made up for it on a day that most everything the Saints offense did worked. He'll be an upside WR3/Flex against Detroit next week.

Back to Top

NO - RB Mark Ingram finds end zone twice

Source: The Associated Press

New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram ran 14 times for 146 yards, including two touchdown runs of 61 and 10 yards, in a 49-21 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Ingram ran hot and appears to be a new man since Tim Hightower threatened his job. He's a solid RB2 with a high ceiling heading into a matchup with Detroit.

ATL - WR Julio Jones held in check

Source: NFL.com

Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones caught four passes for 35 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Jones was responsible for an interception, but he also drew two pass interference penalties. Patrick Peterson was effective on him and the Falcons have good enough secondary options that Matt Ryan didn't have to force the ball to him. Jones remains a must start against Kansas City next week.

Back to Top

MIA - RB Jay Ajayi salvages with a TD

Source: NFL.com

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi rushed 18 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers. He added one catch for 11 yards.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Ajayi was clearly hampered by an offensive line missing three out of five starters. He's got a tough matchup against the Ravens next week, so if the line isn't healthier, Ajayi might not be an automatic start if your running back corps is deep.

Back to Top

ATL - WR Taylor Gabriel scores twice

Source: NFL.com

Atlanta Falcons WR Taylor Gabriel caught four passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12. He also rushed for 27 yards on one carry during the game.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Gabriel is maybe the #3A option in this offense, but he is so explosive and set up so well for success with playcalls and timing that he has been a solid WR2 for the last month. It will be hard to overlook him in deep leagues against Kansas City next week.

SF - TE Vance McDonald leads team in yards

San Francisco 49ers TE Vance McDonald caught a team-high 60 receiving yards on four receptions in Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

McDonald almost had a touchdown, but his hands are not the most reliable. He's still a streaming option heading into a matchup with New England.

NE - TE Rob Gronkowski injures back

New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (back, chest) left the team's Week 12 game early because of a back injury.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Gronkowski got a couple of deep targets, including one that drew obvious pass interference that wasn't called, but promptly left the game. Next week brings the 49ers in a matchup that would be a shame for Gronk to miss.

Back to Top

SF - RB Carlos Hyde productive

Source: NFL.com

San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde rushed 13 times for 65 yards and caught five passes for 30 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Hyde ran strong and was able to put up an RB1 week despite the fact that the 49ers played from behind for the whole game. Next week against New England brings a similar game script, but Hyde is looking too good to bench as your RB2.

Back to Top

CIN - TE Tyler Eifert targeted 11 times

Source: The Associated Press

Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert was targeted 11 times by QB Andy Dalton and caught five passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in a 19-12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Eifert was quiet in the first half, but he came on to put up one of the better tight end lines in Week 12. He is going to get more attention and more targets with AJ Green out. Next week brings an Eagles defense that has been tough on tight ends this year.

Back to Top

SF - QB Colin Kaepernick explosive in loss

Source: NFL.com

San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick completed 29-for-46 passing for 296 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He rushed a game-high 113 yards on 10 carries.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Kaepernick will be one of the huge hits of Week 12. He has top 10 finishes in three of the last four weeks and has been a high floor option in the rest of his starts. He's a bonafide QB1 against Chicago next week.

Back to Top

ARI - RB David Johnson big part of passing game

Source: NFL.com

Arizona Cardinals RB David Johnson caught eight passes for 103 yards and one touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12. He also rushed for 58 yards on 13 carries.

[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

Johnson almost had a second touchdown as a receiver early in the game. He took advantage of a young Falcons linebacker corps to have a massive receiving day. He's right there with LeVeon Bell and Ezekiel Elliott as the most valuable running back in the league.
