Detroit Lions WR Marvin Jones (knee) was held out of practice Monday, Nov. 19.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Jones didn't play on Sunday against the Panthers and there was some thought that the extra bit of rest would allow him to play on Thanksgiving. It is no given we see Jones on Thursday against the Bears. We'll see if he can get out there in practice at some point. He's considered week-to-week with a bone bruise on his knee.

New Orleans Saints WR Tre'Quan Smith (foot) was not able to practice Monday, Nov. 19.

Smith had 157 yards receiving and a touchdown on Sunday against the Eagles. We'd hate to see him slowed down with this foot injury going forward. We'll see if he can practice at some point this week. The Saints are at home to play the Falcons on Thanksgiving.

Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (thigh) was limited during the team's walkthrough Monday, Nov. 19.

Even if Nelson does return for the Raiders he doesn't have much fantasy value.

Oakland Raiders WR Brandon LaFell (Achilles') was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Nov. 19.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Bad news for LaFell here. He's a free agent in 2019 and the veteran receiver might have suffered a career-ending injury with this Achilles' injury. He may struggle to be ready for the start of the regular season in 2019 and might find it difficult to find work even if he was fully healthy.

Edwards is a power back and gives the team a banger to soften up an opponent. The Ravens backfield has a jumbled assortment of talent but in deeper leagues we're adding Edwards to see what happens and if he can continue to carve out a fantasy relevant role.

Miami Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant (leg) is scheduled to undergo lower leg surgery Monday, Nov. 19, and will miss the rest of the 2018 season, according to head coach Adam Gase, who added that he hopes Grant will be ready in time for spring workouts but will 'absolutely be back' for the start of next season.
