[DEN - WR Emmanuel Sanders returns to practice](#44) 45. [ATL - RB Devonta Freeman to be limited](#45) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [LAC - QB Philip Rivers has terrific game]( Source: NFL.com Los Angeles Chargers QB [Philip Rivers]( went 27-for-33 for 434 yards and three touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Things finally look to be going the Chargers' way and Rivers rolled on Thanksgiving. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [MIN - Two sacks for DE Everson Griffen]( Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings DE Everson Griffen recorded two sacks in the team's Week 12 game against the Detroit Lions. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] He also had a baby - or rather his wife did - and flashed a t-shirt after a sack looking for ideas on what to name the kid. We'd go with something Nordic like Einar (which according to BabyNames.net means 'one who fights alone') in part because we're pretty sure the kid's mom won't allow "Sackmaster 3000." Congrats both for the great game and the new addition to the family. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [MIN - WR Adam Thielen continues strong play]( Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings WR [Adam Thielen]( caught eight passes for 89 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 12. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thielen continues to put up solid numbers week to week, though this was the first game he didn't score in after posting touchdowns in each of the last three games. Case Keenum clearly likes Thielen and looks for him often. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [MIN - RB Jerick McKinnon bottled up]( Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings RB [Jerick McKinnon]( rushed for 23 yards on 13 carries against the Detroit Lions in Week 12. He also caught one pass for 31 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Latavious Murray hit the long run Thursday, while McKinnon struggled to gain much traction. They split carries pretty evenly, but Murray had the better day. It can go either way week to week, though generally Murray gets better yards and McKinnon gets more catches. Murray also has found the end zone each of the last two games. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [SEA - TE Jimmy Graham does not practice](=) Source: The Seattle Times - Bob Condotta Seattle Seahawks TE [Jimmy Graham]( (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We expect him to be active this weekend and a fantastic tight end play against San Francisco. He should put up TE1 numbers but keep an eye on his ankle. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [LAR - WR Robert Woods sits again](=) Source: TheRams.com Los Angeles Rams WR [Robert Woods]( (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The expectation is that he will not play for a few weeks, so this is no shock. Woods has had a solid season, so hopefully when he comes back he can jump right back in and help with your fantasy playoffs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [LAC - WR Mike Williams left game]( Source: Chargers.com Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers WR [Mike Williams]( (knee) did not return to the team's Week 12 game because of the knee injury he suffered during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It was seeming like Williams was finally getting in sync with Philip Rivers, so this is disappointing. Hopefully it's not too bad, but as he was battling a knee issue coming into the game, we're concerned. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. TEN - WR Rishard Matthews limited Source: NFL Tennessee Titans WR [Rishard Matthews]( (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We expect Matthews and Marcus Mariota to hook up often this weekend against Indianapolis, and he should be a nice WR3 start with WR2 upside. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. ATL - WR Julio Jones limited again Source: NFL Atlanta Falcons WR [Julio Jones]( (ankle, knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones has just one touchdown this year, which is insane to contemplate. As he heads into this weekend and a matchup against Tampa Bay, we think he's in for a big day, touchdown or not and will start him as a WR1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [CAR - Limited practice for QB Cam Newton]() Source: Panthers.com Carolina Panthers QB [Cam Newton]( (thumb) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Newton has a chance to really blow up the Jets defense this week, and we expect very good production from him. We haven't been able to say it often this year, but hes a solid QB1 start. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [KC - WR Tyreek Hill practices Thursday]( Source: Chiefs.com Kansas City Chiefs WR [Tyreek Hill]( (glute) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We are expecting Hill to not only play but dominate against a Bills team which really looked awful last week. He's a solid WR1 start this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [NYJ - WR Robby Anderson takes part in practice](=) Source: NewYorkJets.com New York Jets WR [Robby Anderson]( (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Anderson has had touchdowns in four straight games, so if you play him, you're mostly betting on that. He did have 85 yards last week and 104 in Week 8, so he's capable of nice yardage production. That said, this is a hard matchup and his quarterback has been solid but rarely impressive, so we are seeing him as a WR4 this week and no more. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [BUF - TE Charles Clay listed as limited]( Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills TE [Charles Clay]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Clay could be playing, but we won't start him unless we are in trouble. If you need help and cannot avoid putting him in a lineup, expect low-end TE2 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [BUF - WR Jordan Matthews limited]( Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills WR [Jordan Matthews]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Matthews isn't likely to play this week and even if he does, we aren't having him in a lineup, given how badly he has played since arriving in Buffalo. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [DET - Minnesota mashed by WR Marvin Jones]( Source: NFL.com Detroit Lions WR [Marvin Jones]( caught six passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jones had a heck of a game, and found the end zone for a second week in a row. In his last five games, Jones has topped 100 yards three times, scored touchdowns in three games and multiple touchdowns twice. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [BUF - No practice for WR Kelvin Benjamin]( Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills WR [Kelvin Benjamin]( (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We don't see him playing this week, and even if he does we aren't sure we trust him this week. We need to see him perform before trusting him which means he will probably be on our bench when he does the first time. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [DET - QB Matthew Stafford throws 2 TDs and 250 yards]() Source: NFL.com Detroit Lions QB [Matthew Stafford]( gutted out a 250-yard, two-touchdown performance in a loss to the Detroit Lions Thursday, Nov. 23. Unfortunately, he also committed two turnovers (one fumble and one interception). [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Stafford just looked off at times. We'll see if he rights the ship next week, but he made some odd decisions and bad throws on Thursday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [NE - TE Rob Gronkowski listed Thursday](=) Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots TE [Rob Gronkowski]( (illness) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We still see Gronkowski as one of the top tight ends in fantasy this weekend. He should be fine for Sunday, but keep an eye for any after-effects of the illness. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [MIN - TE Kyle Rudolph gobbles up two scores]() Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings TE [Kyle Rudolph]( scored both of the Vikings' receiving touchdowns Thursday, Nov. 23, catching four passes for 63 yards in total. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rudolph has had an incredibly quiet season, and we aren't expecting a repeat of a day like this. This is the highest yardage total he's had all season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [NE - WR Danny Amendola listed as limited](=) Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots WR [Danny Amendola]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Along with Brandin Cooks, Danny Amendola seems to be the last man standing. That said, he's no more than a WR5 with some upside against the Miami Dolphins this weekend. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [NE - QB Tom Brady limited](=) Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots QB [Tom Brady]( (Achilles') was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Brady will start against Miami, and Brady will shred Miami. We expect QB1 numbers from him this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [MIN - QB Case Keenum carves up Detroit]() Source: NFL.com Minnesota Vikings QB [Case Keenum]( totaled 302 yards and three touchdowns in a Thanksgiving win versus the Detroit Lions Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Keenum has made a super-strong argument that the quarterback job is his, at least this season. He's really found a groove in the offense and has become a pretty reliable QB2 at this point. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [NE - TE Martellus Bennett misses practice](=) Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots TE [Martellus Bennett]( (hamstring, shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Bennett may not play and even if he does, his role is unclear. Avoid him this week even if he plays. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [NE - WR Chris Hogan remains sidelined](=) Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots WR [Chris Hogan]( (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hogan continues to be sidelined and by the time he returns, it may be hard to get re-inserted into the offense. Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola are the two receivers to play right now, though only Cooks is a surefire producer and WR1 this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [NYJ - RB Matt Forte doesn't practice](=) Source: The Associated Press - Dennis Waszak Jr. New York Jets RB [Matt Forte]( (knee) was not able to practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We aren't expecting him to play this week, and the backfield carries will be split between Bilal Powell and Eliah McGuire. Neither is a good option this week against Carolina and should produce no more than RB4 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [IND - QB Jacoby Brissett fully practices]() Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts QB [Jacoby Brissett]( (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Colts offense is so sad to watch and while Brissett has had moments this year, he's not in a good situation and not playing well overall. Against a tough Tennessee defense, Brissett is no more than a low-end QB2 or a high-end QB3. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [MIA - QB Jay Cutler logs limited practice]( Source: CBSSports.com - Jason La Canfora Miami Dolphins QB [Jay Cutler]( (concussion) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] There's no reason to go back to Cutler anyway, as he has been terrible this year. Matt Moore will be a decent quarterback who will limit his mistakes against the Patriots, making him a better choice for Adam Gase and a decent QB2 for your fantasy team. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [IND - RB Frank Gore off Thursday]() Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts RB [Frank Gore]( (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] More than likely, Gore was off prepping a turkey. He should be available Sunday, but a tough Tennessee defense and a terrible Colts offense makes him limited in value. Gore is not better than a 'hope and pray' RB4 start. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [JAX - QB Blake Bortles practices in full](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Jacksonville Jaguars QB [Blake Bortles]( (wrist) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Bortles isn't asked to do much right now beyond 'don't screw up' which limits his production and fantasy value. This is Fournette's world and Bortles is just handing off in it. He's no more than a QB3. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [JAX - WR Marqise Lee listed as limited](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Jacksonville Jaguars WR [Marqise Lee]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Jaguars are going to continue running the ball with Leonard Fournette, so between that and the inconsistent nature of Blake Bortles, Lee isn't expected to do much. Add in his injury and we are expecting not much beyond WR5 numbers against Arizona. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [CHI - WR Dontrelle Inman remains limited](=) Source: ChicagoBears.com Chicago Bears WR [Dontrelle Inman]( (groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mitch Trubisky is coming along, but the Eagles are an excellent team and we don't think it will be easy for him to do much. As that's the case, Inman isn't likely to do much and we're not putting him in lineups. If you're in a bad spot, expect no more than WR6 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32. [JAX - Limited practice for RB Leonard Fournette](=) Source: AZCardinals.com Jacksonville Jaguars RB [Leonard Fournette]( (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We're not terribly concerned about this, and feel like Fournette will get his full load of carries this weekend, and put up RB1 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 33. [JAX - WR Allen Hurns sits again](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Jacksonville Jaguars WR [Allen Hurns]( (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hurns isn't ready yet, and we don't expect him to play against Arizona. Marquise Lee is the last man standing and Blake Bortles' top option this week again, and should be a nice WR3 option. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 34. [ARI - WR Larry Fitzgerald back at practice](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Arizona Cardinals WR [Larry Fitzgerald]( (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fitzgerald continues to show he can overcome all sorts of negatives - age, poor quarterbacking, no ground game - and still perform. But with a tough defensive matchup and Blaine Gabbert at the helm, we're very concerned this week. Consider him no more than a WR4 this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 35. [ARI - JJ Nelson listed as limited](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Arizona Cardinals WR JJ Nelson (chest) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Nelson can stretch the field but Blaine Gabbert isn't very good. If you need a flier, Nelson will serve as a high upside, big downside guy this weekend against a tough Jacksonville defense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 36. [ARI - WR John Brown does not practice](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Arizona Cardinals WR [John Brown]( (toe) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thanksgiving Day practices are hard to get wigged out about, so we'll wait until Friday's practice before we get concerned. Blaine Gabbert, the Jacksonville defense - those are things we're concerned about. We'd avoid him. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 37. [CIN - WR Brandon LaFell practices fully](=) Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot Cincinnati Bengals WR [Brandon LaFell]( (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] LaFell has been wildly inconsistent this year. The Browns pass defense has actually improved the last few weeks. That combines to WR4 value this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 38. [CIN - Full practice for TE Tyler Kroft](=) Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot Cincinnati Bengals TE [Tyler Kroft]( (hand) participated fully in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kroft has been unreliable in terms of production. Even if he plays, we would avoid him. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 39. [CLE - RB Isaiah Crowell limited Thursday](=) Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot Cleveland Browns RB [Isaiah Crowell]( (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Crowell will get a solid amount of carries against the Bengals, though we don't expect big production from him in this offense. That puts him as a good RB4, with a little bit of upside. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 40. [PIT - No practice for WR JuJu Smith-Schuster]( Source: Steelers.com Pittsburgh Steelers WR [JuJu Smith-Schuster]( (hamstring) missed practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] While Smith-Schuster was overshadowed due to a huge game by Antonio Brown, the matchup here is tremendous and if healthy we could see him as a great WR3, with WR2 upside. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 41. [GB - RB Ty Montgomery, RB Aaron Jones still out]() Source: Packers.com Green Bay Packers RBs [Ty Montgomery]( (ribs) and [Aaron Jones]( (knee) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This is no suprise, and we aren't expecting them to play this weekend. Jamaal Williams will get the start and we think he'll be a decent RB3. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 42. [BAL - RB Terrance West has full practice]( Source: HoustonTexans.com Baltimore Ravens RB [Terrance West]( (calf) participated fully in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Even if he plays, West is so deeply buried on the depth chart it's unlikely he has any real impact even when healthy. He's only worth a roster spot as a an emergency backup these days if you can spare the roster spot. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 43. [HOU - WR DeAndre Hopkins limited Thursday]( Source: HoustonTexans.com Houston Texans WR [DeAndre Hopkins]( (foot) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Even with Tom Savage in charge, Hopkins is one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL. Add in a shaky Baltimore defense and Hopkins has a WR2 floor with WR1 upside. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 44. [DEN - WR Emmanuel Sanders returns to practice]( Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis Denver Broncos WR [Emmanuel Sanders]( (ankle) returned to practice Thursday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Paxton Lynch is under center now and while we have seen a little of him, the reality is we have precious little idea what he is capable of. This offense has been bad most of the season, though, and that coupled with the uncertainty around Lynch shoves both Sanders and Demaryius Thomas into the WR4/WR5 area. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 45. [ATL - RB Devonta Freeman to be limited]() Source: AtlantaFalcons.com - Kelsey Conway Atlanta Falcons RB [Devonta Freeman]( (concussion) will be a limited participant in practice Thursday, Nov. 23, but he remains in the concussion protocol. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We'll watch this carefully heading into the weekend because if Freeman is out, Tevin Coleman could be a top ten fantasy running back. If Freeman plays, Coleman's value takes a massive hit and Freeman becomes the play. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
