Cincinnati Bengals

Tee Higgins Out for Week 15
Concussion
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 12 2025, 12:22 pm

Tee Higgins won't play this weekend vs. the Ravens, Zac Taylor said. (Kelsey Conway on X)

FFToday's Take: This is the 2nd time in three weeks that Higgins will miss a game due to a concussion. He was limited in practice this week but doesn't have enough time to clear protocol. Without Higgins, we should see more playing time for Mitchell Tinsley and likely a target boost for TE Mike Gesicki.

Las Vegas Raiders

QB Kenny Pickett expected to start for Raiders
Geno Smith out with shoulder and back injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 11 2025, 6:54 pm

For a second straight day, Raiders QB Geno Smith did not practice today due to a right shoulder and back injury, and Kenny Pickett is expected to start Sunday against his former Eagles team, per sources. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Pickett can't be any worse for the offense than Geno has been. The Raiders haven't scored more than 17 points in their last five games and Geno has been held to under 200 yards passing seven times this season. The upcoming schedule for Pickett isn't great, with Eagles in Week 15 and the Texans in Week 16.

Dallas Cowboys

CeeDee Lamb gets in full practice on Thursday
Concussion
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 11 2025, 4:27 pm

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb is still in concussion protocol but he seems to be on track to play Sunday. He was a full participant in today’s practice. Lamb has been wearing a guardian cap over his helmet in practice. He said he wouldn’t wear one in a game. “It’s not comfortable.” (Jon Machota on X)

FFToday's Take: Lamb has had extra time to clear the concussion protocol as the Cowboys played last Thursday so he's more likely to play than most players who suffer a concussion on a typical week. Assuming he suits up against the Vikings, he'll be in the WR1 conversation. Tight end Jake Ferguson missed practice Thursday due a calf injury which doesn't bode well for his status on Sunday. We'll get a better idea of his health after practice on Friday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Bucs activate Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan off IR
Both eligible to play in Week 15
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 10 2025, 3:02 pm

Bucs have made it official, reinstating receivers Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game vs. the Falcons. WR Ryan Miller and DL C.J. Brewer were waived to make room on the 53. (Greg Auman on X)

FFToday's Take: It's unclear how much Evans will play in Week 15 against the Falcons but with the passing game struggling the last few weeks, his return can only help. It wouldn't be surprising to see him on a pitch count so fantasy expectations should be tempered.

Washington Redskins

Marcus Mariota gets the start in Week 15
Jayden Daniels expected to play at some point
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 10 2025, 12:32 pm

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow) won’t be cleared by doctors this week, so Marcus Mariota will start Sunday vs. the Giants, Dan Quinn said. No structural damage and nothing long term. But he did aggravate the injury on his fall last week so they’re proceeding carefully. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Good and bad news for Daniels as he is expected to play at some point but just not in Week 15. Of course, why would Washington risk Daniels when they have no shot at making the playoffs? This week, Mariota gets a positive matchup against the Giants who've given up the 5th most fantasy points to quarterbacks.

Pittburgh Steelers

DK Metcalf dealing with stomach issue
WR expected to play in Week 15
By: Doug Orth | Dec 9 2025, 6:10 pm

Mike Tomlin on DK Metcalf, who was evaluated at a Baltimore hospital after the game with stomach pain: "I don't think it's going to jeopardize his availability at all." It may impact his practice participation early in the week, but he should be okay to play by Monday. (The Athletic - Mike DeFabo)

FFToday's Take: Metcalf lived on good touchdown luck throughout the first half of the season, but he has barely performed at a WR3 level since about Week 8. Pittsburgh seemed to prioritize him in Week 14, however, which should give his managers some hope for the fantasy playoffs. With that said, he is not a must-start in Week 15 by any means, at least not until we see another game of heavy usage.

Indianapolis Colts

Colts bring back 44 year-old QB Philip Rivers
Will he play in Week 15?
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 9 2025, 12:54 pm

ESPN Sources: 44-year-old Philip Rivers, who has not played in the NFL since the 2020 COVID season, is signing to the QB-needy Indianapolis Colts practice squad. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: The Colts are reaching deep into the QB bag as not only did they lose Daniel Jones (Achilles) but backup Riley Leonard is dealing with a knee injury. Rivers will practice this week and see how his body feels afterwards. He's familiar with the Colts offensive scheme so it's not out of the question that he could play in Week 15 against the Seahawks. More on the situation as the week moves on...

Washington Redskins

Zach Ertz done for the year
Diagnosed with torn ACL in Week 14
By: Doug Orth | Dec 8 2025, 6:50 pm

Dan Quinn confirms season-ending ACL for Zach Ertz. (The Athletic - Ben Standig)

FFToday's Take: The injury happened on what appeared to be a dirty hit by Vikings S Jay Ward. Regardless of the intent, Ertz's age (35) and how late in the season that it happened, there is a small chance this is how his career comes to an end. Ben Sinnott should be expected to replace him as a near full-time player, although the hyped second-year pro has found it difficult to carve out much of a role for himself.

Miami Dolphins

De'Von Achane nursing rib injury
Left early in Week 14
By: Doug Orth | Dec 8 2025, 6:40 pm

McDaniel said just now that only treatment is needed for Achane. He's highly motivated to play Monday, McDaniel said. Achane told McDaniel he was uncomfortable Sunday but feeling better today. Achane told McDaniel he could have gone back in game vs Jets if needed. He had MRI. (Miami Herald - Barry Jackson)

FFToday's Take: Of course, the Dolphins play on Monday night to wrap up Week 15, so fantasy managers need to have a backup plan. Jaylen Wright took over the backfield following Achane's exit in Week 14, rushing for 107 yards and a score against the Jets. It sounds like Achane will be able to give it a go, but it would not be the worst idea for any running back-needy fantasy team to pick up Wright just in case.

Cincinnati Bengals

Tee Higgins back in concussion protocol
WR suffered last concussion in Week 12
By: Doug Orth | Dec 8 2025, 6:30 pm

Bengals WR Tee Higgins experienced conccussion-like symptoms last night and this morning and is back in protocol, coach Zac Taylor said. (ESPN.com - Ben Baby)

FFToday's Take: Higgins missed Week 13 due to the brain injury, so it is a good bet he will be sidelined AT LEAST one week this time around as well. Considering the Bengals are already guaranteed to have a losing season and three games out of first place in the AFC North with four games left, there is a small chance we don't see Higgins again this season. Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley should be expected to replace him in the interim and are worth rostering in deeper leagues.

Indianapolis Colts

Daniel Jones tears Achilles in Week 14
Riley Leonard the current starter for Indianapolis
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 7 2025, 8:18 pm

A look at the Colts’ current QB landscape: Daniel Jones will undergo surgery for his torn Achilles. Riley Leonard is now the only healthy QB on their 53-man roster, Brett Rypien is on their practice squad, and they could add to their QB room this week. Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve due to fractured orbital bone suffered during pregame warmups earlier this season. Colts' last four games: -At Seattle -San Francisco -Jacksonville -At Houston (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: The Colts suffered a big blow in Week 14, losing their quarterback Daniel Jones to a torn Achilles. This will knock him out the remainder of this season at least a good chunk of 2026. The entire offense will need to be downgraded as we head into the fantasy playoffs.

Buffalo Bills

Dalton Kincaid pushing to play in Week 14
Knee, Hamstring injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 6 2025, 10:14 pm

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid, who is listed as questionable for Sunday due to knee and hamstring injuries, plans to try to play vs. the Bengals, per sources. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: This one is tricky as Kincaid was limited in practice all week and is currently listed as Questionable. His status will probably go right up to game time. If active, the matchup for Kincaid could not be better as the Bengals have given the most fantasy points to tight ends by a wide margin.

Los Angeles Chargers

Omarion Hampton expected to play on MNF
Hasn't played since Week 5
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 6 2025, 1:03 pm

Sources: The #Chargers are activating rookie RB Omarion Hampton and he will play Monday night vs the Eagles. Hampton has been sidelined since suffering an ankle fracture Week 5, but was off to a stellar start with 450 total yards and 3 TDs on 4.8 YPC. Big news for the Bolts. (Jordan Schultz on X)

FFToday's Take: Hampton hasn't played since Week 5 but is expected to be activated off Injured Reserve and play in Week 14 against the Eagles. How much he plays will be key for his fantasy value. It wouldn't be surprise to see a 50-50 timeshare with Kimani Vidal. The Eagles have given up the 7th most fantasy points to running backs.

Chicgao Bears

Rome Odunze Out for Week 14
Missed practice all week with a foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 5 2025, 2:27 pm

Bears ruled out WR Rome Odunze for Sunday’s game at Green Bay due to a foot injury. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Oduzne missed practice all week with a foot injury and will now sit in Week 14 against the Packers. D.J. Moore, Luther Burden III and TE Colston Loveland could all see an increase in targets. The Bears have been focused on running the ball the last couple weeks and their passing game has been inefficient, so it's likely that the fantasy community will overvalue this spot for the Chicago pass catchers.

Washington Redskins

Jayden Daniels gets the start for the Commanders
Last played in Week 9
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 5 2025, 12:20 pm

Commanders coach Dan Quinn just announced Jayden Daniels has been cleared for contact and will start on Sunday. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Daniels has been out since Week 9 due to a dislocated elbow but will get the call in Week 14 against the Vikings. Daniels will also have the benefit of Terry McLaurin at receiver who returned last week from a quad injury that he's been battling all season. The Vikings have been rough on fantasy quarterbacks, allowing the third fewest points to the position.

Cincinnati Bengals

Tee Higgins good to go for Week 14
Missed Week 13 with a concussion
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 5 2025, 12:15 pm

Tee Higgins says he has cleared concussion protocol and is full go against the Bills. (Paul Dehner Jr. on X)

FFToday's Take: Higgins missed Week 13 with a concussion but got in full practices on Thursday and Friday and will be ready to go against the Bills in a game with a 53.5 point total. With Joe Burrow at quarterback, Higgins will be in the WR2 conversation this week.

Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. Out for Week 14
Heel injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 5 2025, 12:00 pm

Gannon: WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out Sunday for the game against the Rams. (Darren Urban on X)

FFToday's Take: After missing Weeks 11 & 12 due to an appendectomy, Harrison will now miss Week 14 due to a heel injury suffered in Week 13. That will move Michael Wilson up the pecking order in the Cardinals offense. The Rams have been a neutral matchup for fantasy wideouts this season, rankings 16th in fantasy points allowed to the position.

Chicgao Bears

Rome Odunze misses practice on Thursday
Foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 4 2025, 3:01 pm

#Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot), CB Tyrique Stevenson (hip) remain DNP. LB T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) was limited. Have to think chances Edwards' returns Sunday to face Green Bay are decent. (Brad Biggs on X)

FFToday's Take: Odunze was also sidelined on Wednesday with a foot injury. That makes him a legitimate question mark for Week 14 against the Packers. We should get a better feel for his status after practice on Friday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Bucs open practice window for Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan
Have 21 days to be activated off Injured Reserve
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 3 2025, 10:51 am

Buccaneers opened the 21-day practice window for wide receivers Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan. They are eligible to be activated off of Injured Reserve at any time during the 21-day window. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Evans has been out of action since breaking his collarbone in Week 7 and McMillan has yet to play this season after he fractured three vertebrae in his neck this preseason. Both are expected to be limited in practice today. It's unlikely these two will play this week and the Bucs play on Thursday night in Week 15.

Los Angeles Chargers

Omarion Hampton likely to return in Week 14?
Rookie RB has been sidelined with ankle injury since Week 5
By: Doug Orth | Dec 2 2025, 11:00 pm

An update: It’s currently viewed as likely that #Chargers starting running back Omarion Hampton, who has missed the last seven games with an ankle injury, will be able return to action and play next Monday when the team faces the #Eagles, sources tell @CBSSports (CBS Sports - Matt Zenitz)

FFToday's Take: For the relatively few fantasy managers that have been able to survive (or thrive) without Hampton in their lineups over the last two months, the timing of this news couldn't be much better. Hampton was quickly emerging as a high-end RB1 in fantasy before suffering what appeared to be a relatively innocuous ankle injury. While there is certainly reason to fear he could get eased in after such a long layoff, we saw Bucky Irving reclaim his backfield for the Bucs just last week. His return comes with risk for his fantasy managers as the Chargers don't play until Monday night. However, he will almost certainly return as the primary back in Week 14 against a defense that just gave up a combined 255 rushing yards to Chicago running backs last week.

Atlanta Falcons

Drake London could return in Week 14
Missed last two games with knee injury
By: Doug Orth | Dec 1 2025, 11:55 pm

Raheem Morris says WR Drake London is now day-to-day and "has a chance" to play this weekend. (ESPN. com - Marc Raimondi)

FFToday's Take: Fantasy managers will find out what "has a chance" means later this week when the Falcons get back to practice on Wednesday. While London is undoubtedly a WR1 when he is healthy and has Michael Penix Jr. as his quarterback, he is unlikely to be completely healthy by Week 14 and has Kirk Cousins as his quarterback - which doesn't mean what it did for the first half of last season. Even worse, the lack of health and presence of Cousins probably makes London more of a WR2 consideration this week.

Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert injures left hand, will have procedure Monday
Unclear if he'll miss time
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 30 2025, 7:48 pm

Chargers QB Justin Herbert fractured his left hand today vs. the Raiders and is set to undergo surgery Monday, per HC Jim Harbaugh. The team is uncertain if Herbert will miss any time. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Herbert missed a series but did return in Week 13 against the Raiders to finish the game. It's unclear at this time if he'll miss Week 14 against the Eagles. If he does, Trey Lance would get the start at Quarterback and the Chargers skill players would get a significant downgrade.

Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr., Bam Knight expected to play
Both listed as Questionable
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 29 2025, 11:11 pm

#AZCardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy) and RB Bam Knight (knee) are both expected to go Sunday, despite being listed as questionable. Harrison has missed the last two games. (Ian Rapoport on X)

FFToday's Take: This was the expectation after practice on Friday but there was some question about Harrison who has missed the last two games following an appendectomy. Harrison was limited in practice all week so it wouldn't be surprising if he is somewhat limited in this game against the Buccaneers. The Cardinals running game has been atrocious this season, making Knight a low-end flex option at best.

Miami Dolphins

Dolphins activate TE Darren Waller off injured reserve
Hasn't played since Week 6
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 29 2025, 2:12 pm

The Dolphins are activating TE Darren Waller from injured reserve and he’ll play Sunday against the Saints, per sources. Waller scored four TDs in his first three games before suffering a pectoral injury Oct. 19. Now, Miami’s red-zone weapon returns. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Waller last played in Week 6. His presence will kill any fantasy Greg Dulcich had. The Saints represent a neutral matchup for tight ends making Waller a mid-range TE2 for Week 13.

Los Angeles Chargers

Omarion Hampton ruled Out for Week 13
Hasn't played since Week 5
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 28 2025, 4:28 pm

Chargers ruled out RB Omarion Hampton for Sunday’s game vs the Raiders. Hampton hasn’t played since fracturing his ankle in week 5. “It was a good week,” Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh told reporters today. “Really beneficial, ramping up. Everything’s on track to return, not this week.” (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Hampton has been limited in practice this week and still isn't ready to return action. That means we should get a full dose of Kimani Vidal against the Raiders who represent a neutral matchup against running backs. Vidal will be on the RB1/RB2 borderline in Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker, Bucky listed as Questionable for Week 13
Both practiced in full on Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 28 2025, 3:50 pm

Bucs QB Baker Mayfield participated fully in practice Friday but is listed as questionable along with RB Bucky Irving, Jamel Dean, Ben Bredeson, Anthony Nelson and Haason Reddick. (Rick Stroud on X)

FFToday's Take: Both players practiced in full on Friday and are trending towards playing in Week 13 against the Cardinals. Mayfield is dealing with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder while Irving hasn't played since Week 4 due to shoulder and foot injuries.

Washington Redskins

Terry McLaurin In, Jayden Daniels Out for Week 13
McLaurin last played in Week 8
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 28 2025, 1:08 pm

Dan Quinn said WR Terry McLaurin will play Sunday. QB Jayden Daniels has been ruled out, as expected. WR Noah Brown and DE Drake Jackson also will be out. Quinn said they'll announce any other moves (S Will Harris) Saturday. (John Keim on X)

FFToday's Take: This has been a lost season for McLaurin who has played in just four games prior to Week 13 due to a quad injury. He'll give it a go this week against the Broncos on Monday Night Football. The matchup is brutal as the Broncos have given up the second fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Detroit Lions

Amon-Ra St. Brown not expected to land on IR
Sprained ankle
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 28 2025, 10:17 am

At this point, Amon-Ra St. Brown is not expected to land on IR and likely will be week-to-week as the Lions enter the stretch run. He is believed to have suffered a low ankle sprain Sunday, sources say, and while he continues to be evaluated, it’s good news so far on his chances for returning sooner than later. Detroit plays just one game in the next 16 days: Dec. 4 against Dallas. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: ARSB got rolled up on from behind on Thanksgiving day. He's likley to miss Week 14 against the Cowboys but hopefully can return for Week 15 against the Rams. Wit Kalif Raymond sitting out due to an ankle injury of his own, Isaac TeSlaa played 92.1% of the snaps in Week 13 and will be a high priority for the Week 14 waiver wire.

Philadelphia Eagles

DeVonta Smith misses practice Thursday
Shoulder, Chest, Illness
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 26 2025, 3:26 pm

Another DNP for DeVonta Smith, who now has a shoulder issue, a chest issue, and an illness. (Ian Rapoport on X)

FFToday's Take: Smith is piling up the ailments in Week 13. He missed practice on Wednesday as well. The Eagles play Friday night against the Bears so we should get word soon on his availability for this week.

Atlanta Falcons

Drake London unlikely to play in Week 13
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 26 2025, 11:50 am

#Falcons coach Raheem Morris says he considers WR Drake London doubtful this weekend against the Jets. (Marc Raimondi on X)

FFToday's Take: London injured his knee in Week 11 and missed last week's game against the Saints. His loss is a big blow to the Falcons offense and to fantasy lineups. Darnell Mooney will attempt to function as the team's No.1 wideout in a neutral matchup against the Jets.

Arizona Cardinals

Michael Wilson playing himself into a bigger role
OC discusses keeping WR involved even after No. 1 WR returns
By: Doug Orth | Nov 25 2025, 4:20 pm

Drew Petzing on what the Cardinals can do with Michael Wilson’s role when Marv returns: “Move him around the formation, continue to put him higher in the progression. … When you produce in this league, we’re gonna give you more opportunities to continue to do that.” (AZ Central Sports - Theo Mackie)

FFToday's Take: It almost boggles the mind how a coaching staff needed nearly three years and for Marvin Harrison Jr. to undergo an appendectomy to see what it had in Wilson, but here we are. Wilson is only the ninth player in league history to amass 25 catches and 300-plus receiving yards over a two-game stretch - a list of players that includes Jerry Rice, Antonio Brown, Terrell Owens and CeeDee Lamb. In short, fantasy managers should no longer assume they can or should drop Wilson once Harrison returns to action.

Los Angeles Chargers

Omarion Hampton cleared to practice
Rookie RB has been sidelined since Week 5 with ankle injury
By: Doug Orth | Nov 25 2025, 4:00 pm

The Chargers are opening the practice window for RB Omarion Hampton to return from injured reserve. (ESPN.com - Kris Rhim)

FFToday's Take: While it is great news for his eventual return, Hampton still has to show the coaching staff enough in practice this week to be activated. Even if that happens, the most fantasy managers can probably hope for is around 15 touches - with the rest likely going to Kimani Vidal. If Hampton plays this week, he will catch a break against the Raiders, whose offense has been abysmal of late. It likely guarantees a game script in which the Chargers can pick and choose their spot with Hampton. If he plays in Week 13, he should be considered a strong RB2 option.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield dealing with sprained left shoulder
Status for Week 13 uncertain following early exit on SNF
By: Doug Orth | Nov 24 2025, 11:50 pm

#Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, who went down on Sunday with a sprained left shoulder, has a low-grade sprain, source said following the MRI. Good news with an eye toward next week. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)

FFToday's Take: Considering how much pain Mayfield was in at the end of the first half on Sunday night, this has to be considered great news for the Bucs and his fantasy managers alike. Mayfield has played through a fair amount of pain already this season and is one of the toughest hombres in the league, but it might be for the best if the Bucs give him at least one week to feel better. Teddy Bridgewater came on in relief in Week 12 and should be considered the favorite to start in Week 13 versus the Cardinals.

Arizona Cardinals

Marvin Harrison Jr. in limbo for Week 13?
Has missed last two games following appendectomy
By: Doug Orth | Nov 24 2025, 11:30 pm

No update from Gannon on Marvin Harrison Jr.'s status this week. (AZ Central Sports - Theo Mackie)

FFToday's Take: Even in the best-case scenarios, it would be a lot to ask for a football player to return to action a little over two weeks following an appendectomy. Furthermore, it would be even more to ask for him to be healthy enough to play a full game. As such (and especially with Arizona's season going down the drain), don't be surprised if Harrison sits at least one more week. In just two games without MHJ, Michael Wilson has become a fantasy star, erupting for 25 catches and 303 yards receiving. If Harrison sits again, Wilson would be an obvious must-start in Week 13 versus the Bucs.

Cincinnati Bengals

Tee Higgins suffers concussion in Week 12
Bengals play Thursday in Week 13
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 24 2025, 6:04 am

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is in concussion protocol. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Higgins posted a 5-31-0 line on six targets before leaving Week 12 with a concussion. The Bengals played Thursday night against the Ravens in Week 13 so it's highly likely that Higgins will miss that game. We are expecting Joe Burrow to return at QB and Ja'Marr Chase will back after his one-game suspension.

Pittburgh Steelers

Aaron Rodgers expected to be Inactive for Week 12
Wrist injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 23 2025, 10:47 am

No Aaron Rodgers: Steelers HC Mike Tomlin told @EvanWashburn in a pregame interview that Mason Rudolph will start today vs. Chicago. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: It sounds like Mason Rudolph will get the start for the Steelers today against the Bears. Rudolph will be a mid-range QB2 but might increase the value of DK Metcalf as Rodgers tends to makes more throws in the short and mid-range areas of the field.

Green Bay Packers

Josh Jacobs Out for Week 12
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 23 2025, 12:00 am

Josh Jacobs pushed all week to play despite his bone bruise and thigh contusion. But the Packers decided to play it cautiously with a short week upcoming. There was no pregame workout, just a conversation when Jacobs arrived. There is hope he could play Thanksgiving at Detroit. (Tom Pelissero on X)

FFToday's Take: Jacbos is battling a bruised knee and ultimately will sit out this week as the Packers play on Thursday in Week 13. Emanuel Wilson will a strong running back play this week and should get the bulk of the carries against the Vikings.

Cincinnati Bengals

Bengals will start Joe Flacco in Week 12
Joe Burrow to remain on IR with toe injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 22 2025, 9:40 am

#Bengals QB Joe Burrow, attempting to come back just over two months after surgery to repair Grade 3 turf toe, won’t be moved to the active roster just yet, source said. He’ll remain on IR. Joe Flacco starts, once again. But Burrow’s time is coming. (Ian Rapoport on X)

FFToday's Take: No Burrow this week but it sounds like he's got a better chance to play in Week 13 against the Ravens. Flacco (shoulder) will get the start against the Patriots this week. He posted a dud (199-1-1) in Week 12 against the Steelers and will be without Ja'Marr Chase who will be serving a one-game suspension for spitting on Jalen Ramsey.

Green Bay Packers

Josh Jacobs listed as Questionable, Knee injury
Limited in practice all week
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 21 2025, 3:47 pm

Packers are listing RB Josh Jacobs as questionable for Sunday’s game vs the Vikings. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Jacobs was limited in practice all week after banging his knee against the Giants in Week 11. It sounds like this will be a game time decision and with the Packers playing on Thursday next week against the Lions, it wouldn't be surprising to see Jacobs held out against the Vikings. Emanuel Wilson's fantasy value hangs in the balance until we get official word.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Bucs targeting Week 13 for Bucky Irving return
Will sit in Week 12
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 21 2025, 12:28 pm

Bucs HC Todd Bowles told reporters that RB Bucky Irving is out for Sunday night’s game in L.A., but the team is targeting his return in Week 13 against Arizona. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Bucky didn't handle his injury situation well, according to HC Todd Bowles but appears on track to return in Week 13 against the Cardinals. Bucky has been out since he injured his foot and shoulder in Week 4. For this week against the Rams, we'll see more of Sean Tucker and Rachaad White with Tucker being the better fantasy bet after his monster Week 11 game when he posted a 19-106-2, 2-34-1 line.
