The Bengals have ruled CB Cam Taylor-Britt out for Sunday's game against the Steelers. The quad injury that knocked him out late in last Thursday's loss to the Ravens was originally reported to be no big deal. But Taylor-Britt missed this full week of practice. We'll see about his status heading into Week 13 at Jacksonville.
The Steelers have ruled S Minkah Fitzpatrick (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Bengals. It'll be his fourth straight game missed, and Fitzpatrick still has yet to return to practice since suffering the injury. With Keanu Neal on IR, Damontae Kazee looks like the only full-time Pittsburgh safety. Trenton Thompson (77%), Miles Killebrew (21%), and Elijah Riley (9%) all saw playing time at safety in the last game.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland left in the second half of Friday's game against the Jets with a knee injury. The team deemed him questionable to return but was playing with a big lead. So it wouldn't make much sense for Miami to bring him back in. We'll watch for updates ahead of the Week 13 visit to Washington.
Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips left in the second half of Friday's game against the Jets. He left the field on a cart after what looked pretty clearly like a rupture of his right Achilles' tendon. Miami quickly reported it as an Achilles' injury. This looks likely to end Phillips' season and could challenge his start to 2024. We'll watch for more on the 24-year-old, who has one more year on his rookie contract and then the fifth-year option available for 2025. Andrew Van Ginkel filled in for Phillips when he missed time earlier this season and would likely step into a starting role for the rest of this year. He'll be worth a pickup in plenty of IDP leagues ahead of Week 13.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. He returned from the knee injury to play last week and should be available this weekend. But it’s clear that Jones still isn’t at 100%. He’d be a shaky Week 12 fantasy play.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) remained limited in Friday's practice. He told reporters afterward that he's not sure if he'll play vs. the Bears on Monday night. "I'm not sure. We'll see," Jefferson said. "We're going to weigh the options correctly, making sure that I'm feeling well and prepared to play a game, and if I'm feeling good, I will play." We continue to expect Jefferson to sit out through Minnesota's Week 13 bye. But we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
The Buccaneers have officially ruled LB Lavonte David (groin) and CB Jamel Dean (ankle, foot) out for Sunday's game against the Colts. David is the more impactful absence, both for the Tampa defense and IDP lineups. This was the expectation reported earlier this week, though. Rookie Sirvocea Dennis looks like the replacement. LB Devin White (foot) is also questionable for the game. he's expected to be a game-time decision, according to multiple reports. White played through the issue for 100% snap share last week despite following the same practice schedule he did this week: out, out, limited. We'll see about his status Sunday. CB Carlton Davis (hip) is also questionable. He missed Week 10 and then saw his playing time limited a bit (75%) last week but finished this week with a full Friday practice.
Saints QB Derek Carr (concussion) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 12 injury report. He’ll start Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons but is only in play in 2-QB and Superflex fantasy leagues.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. Falcons. The rookie didn’t practice all week. Jamaal Williams will continue to operate as New Orleans’ No. 2 RB but isn’t a viable fantasy play.
Chargers WR Jalen Guyton (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Ravens after a limited week of practice. Between the injury and late kickoff, Guyton shouldn’t be in your Week 12 fantasy plans.
Chargers TE Gerald Everett (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Ravens. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, which likely puts him on track to play. In that case, neither Everett nor Donald Parham will be a recommended fantasy starter against Baltimore’s ninth-ranked TE defense.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is not listed on the final Week 12 injury report. He tweaked his foot on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Bateman will play vs. the Chargers on Sunday night. But, assuming WRs Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham suit up, Bateman isn’t a viable fantasy option.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Chargers. He returned to a full practice on Friday after being sidelined on Thursday and told reporters that he’ll play. We’ll look for further updates on Flowers’ status, but he can stay penciled into Week 12 fantasy lineups for now. The matchup is awesome against the Chargers’ 29th-ranked WR defense.
Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. He said Friday that he'll be a game-time decision and will be playing through pain if he does suit up. But Beckham was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice, so we're expecting him to play. He'd be a risk/reward fantasy start against the league’s 29th-ranked WR defense.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 12 injury report. He went from no practice on Wednesday to a limited practice on Thursday to full participation on Friday. That progression suggests that Kupp will at least be reasonably close to 100% for this one. He’d be tough to leave out of Week 12 fantasy lineups against a Cardinals defense that ranks 20th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs and coughed up a 7-148-1 receiving line to Kupp back in Week 6.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (heel) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice and then sidelined on Thursday and Friday. Brown is seemingly in real danger of missing this one – and probably won’t be close to 100% if he does play. We’ll look for further updates on Brown’s status but won’t get Arizona’s inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday. With WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) already ruled out, the Cardinals could be down to Greg Dortch and Rondale Moore as their top two WRs.
Patriots WR DeVante Parker (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He remained limited in practice all week, so he still has some work to do to clear the concussion protocol. Parker isn’t on the fantasy radar, but his return would add a bit more target competition for WR Demario Douglas.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was a full-go in practice all week, so we’re fully expecting him to play. OC Bobby Slowik confirmed earlier this week that Pierce and RB Devin Singletary will go back to sharing the workload. Singletary deserves to lead the backfield after his strong play the past two weeks, but he’s just a RB3 in fantasy lineups assuming Pierce plays on Sunday.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. Robert Woods will again operate as Houston’s No. 3 WR behind Tank Dell and Nico Collins this weekend.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (neck) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He leads Giants WRs in pass routes and targets this season. Slayton’s absence figures to mean more playing time for WRs Jalin Hyatt and Isaiah Hodgins outside the numbers, but neither is a recommended Week 12 fantasy play.
