[TB - QB Jameis Winston practices in full]() Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB [Jameis Winston]( (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Winston has to show he's fully healthy, plus that his offense will be better than it was when he left. We think he has QB2 upside, but we would be a little cautious with him this first week back. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [PIT - WR JuJu Smith-Schuster has full practice](=) Source: Steelers.com Pittsburgh Steelers WR [JuJu Smith-Schuster]( (hamstring) participated fully in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Martavis Bryant did well in Smith-Schuster's absence, but there's a good chance he moves into the backseat now with the rookie's return. The uncertainty of the split holds Smith-Schuster's value down a tad, but we like him as a good WR3, with a lot of upside given how in sync he and Ben Roethlisberger were in before. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [NYG - WR Sterling Shepard fully practices](=) Source: Giants.com New York Giants WR [Sterling Shepard]( (illness) put in a full practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Even if he plays, he's got Geno Smith throwing the ball which has us concerned. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CLE - WR Josh Gordon will start in return](=) Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot Cleveland Browns WR [Josh Gordon]( will start, as expected, against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13, according to head coach Hue Jackson. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Yes, Gordon was a tremendous competitor in 2014. We have no idea what he will look like now. Or what his abilities are. Or if he will mesh well with DeShone Kizer, since nobody really has so far. Or - and this is a concern - whether he can stay out of trouble. We're excited to find out, but it is excitement tempered with apprehension. We see him as a WR5, with immense upside. Hopefully, he will show us that upside just in time for the fantasy playoffs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [LAR - WR Robert Woods misses practice again](=) Source: AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban Los Angeles Rams WR [Robert Woods]( (shoulder) sat out another practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cooper Kupp is going to be the lead guy here regardless, and a nice WR1 play. Woods has had some success in Los Angeles, and we think he will return there and do well, just probably not this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [LAC - WR Mike Williams sits again]( Source: Chargers.com Los Angeles Chargers WR [Mike Williams]( (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We think Williams isn't coming back soon. The Chargers will want to be more cautious with this injury and hope he can come back as they near a possible playoff berth or at least be 100 percent next season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. ATL - WR Julio Jones limited in practice again Source: NFLMedia.com Atlanta Falcons WR [Julio Jones]( (ankle) was limited in practice for the second consecutive day Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This isn't an easy matchup for anyone, but we expect Julio Jones to rise above the Vikings secondary and put up WR1 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. OAK - WR Cordarrelle Patterson still limited in practice Source: NFLMedia.com Oakland Raiders WR [Cordarrelle Patterson]( (hip) was limited in practice for the second straight day Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Patterson had a nice game last week, and he could get most of the targets with Michael Crabtree and - potentially - Amari Cooper out. Still, that's a lot to ask of a guy who has struggled to make an impact in the NFL, and we don't see him reaching more than WR6 numbers this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. DEN - WR Emmanuel Sanders takes part in practice Source: NFL Denver Broncos WR [Emmanuel Sanders]( (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] With the return of Trevor Siemian this passing offense...well its been bad anyway, so there's not much room to go down. Sanders' ability allows him to still retain some value, as a WR3, but it's going to be rough going for him and Demaryius Thomas from here on out. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. OAK - WR Amari Cooper sits out another practice Source: NFLMedia.com Oakland Raiders WR [Amari Cooper]( (concussion, ankle) missed practice for the second consecutive day Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's not looking good for Cooper, as this is a good sign he will miss this weekend's game against the Giants. With Michael Crabtree also out, Derek Carr is going to have a rough weekend. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [NYJ - Another full practice for QB Josh McCown](=) Source: NewYorkJets.com New York Jets QB [Josh McCown]( (wrist) was a full participant in practice for the second straight day Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McCown has played about how we expected him to - good at times, badly at others. He's done what he needed to as an NFL bridge quarterback. For fantasy purposes, he's really no more than a low-end QB2/high end QB3 though, and should only be used if you have injury issues. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. CLE - RB Isaiah Crowell limited again Source: NFL Cleveland Browns RB [Isaiah Crowell]( (shoulder) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Chargers defense has been playing well while the Cleveland offense....has not. Crowell has performed really well in three out of the last four games, but he'll struggle against Los Angeles. Start him as a low-end RB3, and if he can overcome the matchup, anything else will be gravy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [NYJ - WR Robby Anderson fully practices again](=) Source: NewYorkJets.com New York Jets WR [Robby Anderson]( (ankle) was a full participant in practice for the second consecutive day Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] A very nice surprise as we head towards fantasy playoffs, Anderson has shown big play ability and some nice aggression. We think he should be a very nice play against Kansas City this as a WR2. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [BAL - RB Alex Collins practices]( Source: BaltimoreRavens.com Baltimore Ravens RB [Alex Collins]( (calf) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Collins has been pretty solid despite the struggles the offense has at times, and should have a chance to put up decent QB3 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [TB - WR DeSean Jackson listed as limited]() Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [DeSean Jackson]( (foot) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Whether it's Ryan Fitzpatrick or Jameis Winston, Jackson doesn't have a ton of value beyond a WR4/flex play. We could see him as a decent WR4 against Green Bay. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [TB - RB Doug Martin remains sidelined]() Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB [Doug Martin]( (concussion) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It looks like Martin will be out, and that means the backfield will be a massive RBBC and we'd shy away from it altogether. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [HOU - Full practice for WR DeAndre Hopkins]( Source: HoustonTexans.com Houston Texans WR [DeAndre Hopkins]( (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Even with Tom Savage flailing about under center, Hopkins is a stud. Start him as a WR1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [HOU - RB Lamar Miller listed as limited]( Source: HoustonTexans.com Houston Texans RB [Lamar Miller]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Miller will see a lot of carries but also a lot of a attention, which will leave him a bit of a mixed bag. We think he is on the cusp of Rb2/RB3 numbers and if Tennessee manages to get ahead on the scoreboard, the Texans might abandon the run game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [HOU - WR Will Fuller sits again]( Source: HoustonTexans.com Houston Texans WR [Will Fuller]( (ribs) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] There's a good chance Fuller is out this week, not that he has a ton of upside with Tom Savage under center. Aside from DeAndre Hopkins, there's not much in the passing offense worth touching. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [MIA - WR Jarvis Landry listed as limited](=) Source: The Miami Herald - Adam H. Beasley Miami Dolphins WR [Jarvis Landry]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Broncos are without the services of the suspended Aqib Talib, which is nothing but good for Jarvis Landry. We think he will have a very nice game and put up WR2 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [MIA - RB Damien Williams misses practice](=) Source: The Miami Herald - Adam H. Beasley Miami Dolphins RB [Damien Williams]( (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We expect Kenyon Drake to get the start, and he should serve as an OK RB2-3 against Denver this weekend. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [JAX - RB Leonard Fournette takes part in practice](=) Source: Jaguars.com Jacksonville Jaguars RB [Leonard Fournette]( (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fournette should have a field day against Indianapolis. Put him in your lineup as a RB1 and you'll be very happy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [JAX - QB Blake Bortles fully practices](=) Source: Jaguars.com Jacksonville Jaguars QB [Blake Bortles]( (wrist) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Bortles has been struggling this whole season, but we expect some success against Indianapolis. Even with Leonard Fournette carrying most of the load, we think Bortles is good for some QB2 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [JAX - WR Marqise Lee limited Thursday](=) Source: Jaguars.com Jacksonville Jaguars WR [Marqise Lee]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] After two straight games where he had found the end zone, Lee has now gone two weeks where he couldn't. He should see a fair amount of targets, enough to warrant a rating as a WR3, but we think the red zone looks will mostly be given to Leonard Fournette. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [OAK - RB Marshawn Lynch receives day off]() Source: Las Vegas Review-Journal - Michael Gehlken Updating a previous report, Oakland Raiders RB [Marshawn Lynch]( (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 30, because he received a rest day, according to offensive coordinator Todd Downing. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Well, we're glad that was cleared up. The Raiders are a mess right now, but not quite dead. They need Lynch the rest of the way, and we can see him tearing up the hapless New York Giants this week. Start him as an RB2. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [NE - WR Danny Amendola limited again]() Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots WR [Danny Amendola]( (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Amendola has been a bit up and down, in part because of the knee. Right now, if he plays, we look at him as a WR5, which is about where his average has been this year. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [NE - WR Chris Hogan remains sidelined]() Source: Patriots.com New England Patriots WR [Chris Hogan]( (shoulder) was absent from practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Whether this is a setback or not is unclear. Hogan hasn't played since Week 8, so even if he does suit up this weekend, how involved he is will be hard to say. we'd avoid him if he plays, at least until we see what his role looks like. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [GB - RB Aaron Jones listed as limited](=) Source: Packers.com Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers RB [Aaron Jones]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We aren't expecting him to play, but if he does, we expect them to dip their toes in with him slowly and lean on Jamaal Williams this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [DET - QB Matthew Stafford practices in full]( Source: DetroitLions.com Detroit Lions QB [Matthew Stafford]( (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Stafford has been a bit inconsistent, but the talent he has around him helps any of his Fantasy GMs navigate through those rough patches. We think even with a slightly gimpy ankle, Stafford is a very nice QB2 play this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [IND - RB Frank Gore rests Thursday]( Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts RB [Frank Gore]( (rest) was held out of practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Gore is doing yoeman's work for the colts, but for fantasy purposes he is limited. We like him and a decent RB3 but his production is limited because of the problems the offense has on a week to week basis. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [IND - WR Donte Moncrief has limited practice]( Source: Colts.com Indianapolis Colts WR [Donte Moncrief]( (groin) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Moncrief is hurt and in an offense which has issues. We're not going anywhere near him even if he has a full practice under his belt by game time. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32. [BUF - RB LeSean McCoy takes part in practice]( Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills RB [LeSean McCoy]( (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McCoy will be leaned on heavily to keep Tom Brady and the Patriots offense off the field, and we think he should be effective both in production and volume. Consider him a nice RB1 start this weekend. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 33. [BUF - Limited practice for TE Charles Clay]( Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills TE [Charles Clay]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Clay should be good to go, and we think he could put up nice TE2 numbers. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 34. [BUF - WR Jordan Matthews listed as limited]( Source: BuffaloBills.com Buffalo Bills WR [Jordan Matthews]( (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Matthews isn't doing anything much in Buffalo, so look elsewhere for a flex play. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 35. [PHI - WR Alshon Jeffery upgraded to full](=) Source: PhiladelphiaEagles.com Philadelphia Eagles WR [Alshon Jeffery]( (foot) participated fully in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Jeffery has made himself comfortable in Philly and has synced up with Carson Wentz. He's playing very well and faces a shorthanded secondary in Seattle. WR2 numbers with WR1 upside is what we expect. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 36. [TEN - RB DeMarco Murray misses practice](=) Source: TitansOnline.com - Jim Wyatt Tennessee Titans RB [DeMarco Murray]( (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 30, because of an illness. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Murray hasn't been good on the ground in a few weeks, but salvaged his days a little with receiving yards and, last week, a touchdown. We think he'll do better against Houston, but the bar has been kind of low. Plus, he may see more and more of a timeshare given his struggles. While he'll be better on the ground, overall we're not expecting more than RB3 numbers this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 37. [TEN - WR Rishard Matthews not practicing](=) Source: ESPN.com - Cameron Wolfe Tennessee Titans WR [Rishard Matthews]( (hamstring) did not practice for a second straight day Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's not looking good for Matthews this week, which could mean good things for Corey Davis. Keep an eye out here and we'll make sure you're on top of the latest information. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 38. [GB - RB Ty Montgomery remains out]( Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky Green Bay Packers RB [Ty Montgomery]( (ribs) was not able to practice again Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It looks very much like Jamaal Williams will get the start, even if Aaron Jones is able to play, which we're not sold on. Montgomery might be back at receiver full time by next season. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 39. [NYJ - WR Jermaine Kearse also limited](=) Source: The Associated Press - Dennis Waszak Jr. New York Jets WR [Jermaine Kearse]( (shoulder) remained limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Kearse had a ginormous game against Carolina, but we expect him to come down to earth against Kansas City. We still expect some decent WR4/WR5 production, we just aren't going into this with the idea he's topping 105 yards. One thing that could enhance his upside though, is attention shifting to Robby Anderson, which might leave Kearse in beneficial 1-on-1 coverage. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 40. [NYJ - RB Matt Forte limited Thursday](=) Source: The Associated Press - Dennis Waszak Jr. New York Jets RB [Matt Forte]( (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] While a few pieces of the Jets offense have begun to emerge as worthy plays, Matt Forte and Bilal Powell aren't more than RB5 options, especially against a good Kansas City defense. If Forte practices fully, or is out totally, it might move the needle a little bit by Sunday. For now, though, our expectations are low. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 41. [NE - QB Tom Brady back at practice](=) Source: Boston Herald - Jeff Howe New England Patriots QB [Tom Brady]( (Achilles', arm) returned to practice Thursday, Nov. 30, after missing the previous day. He was listed with an Achilles' injury, but his upper left arm was also heavily bandaged. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] We aren't worried and you shouldn't be either. Brady should be fine and look like less of a mummy by Sunday. Against the Bills, he should be a solid QB1. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 42. [ATL - RB Devonta Freeman won't be limited]() Source: AtlantaFalcons.com - Kelsey Conway Atlanta Falcons RB [Devonta Freeman]( won't be limited in Week 13 as he returns from a concussion, according to head coach Dan Quinn. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Freeman has a tough row to hoe this week, as the Vikings are a good defense. We still expect him to see significant carries, though Tevin Coleman will still be in the mix. Expect RB2 numbers from Freeman this week and you should be OK. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 43. [BUF - WR Kelvin Benjamin sits Thursday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Mike Rodak Buffalo Bills WR [Kelvin Benjamin]( (knee) is out of practice Thursday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Maybe Carolina knew something we didn't? Zay Jones will be the lead receiver in what we expect will be a low-passing effort for the Bills. Avoid this against the Patriots this week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
