[LAR - WR Brandin Cooks never considered retiring](#10) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [LAR - WR Robert Woods not a lock to suit up]() Source: ESPN.com - Lindsey Thiry Los Angeles Rams WR [Robert Woods]( (personal) is 'looking good' at practice, according to head coach Sean McVay Saturday, Nov. 23. McVay wouldn't commit to Woods playing against the Baltimore Ravens Monday, Nov. 25, and said the team is 'just taking it day by day.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Keep an eye on this for Sunday and hopefully we'll get a bit of clarity. Right now, it's looking uncertain. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [NE - QB Tom Brady likely to play Sunday](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport New England Patriots QB [Tom Brady]( (elbow) is expected to play in Week 12's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Against the Cowboys on Sunday, Brady is more of a mid-tier QB2 for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [LAR - RB Malcolm Brown gets in full practice](=) Source: TheRams.com Los Angeles Rams RB [Malcolm Brown]( (non-injury) returned to a full practice Saturday, Nov. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Brown can get some work behind Todd Gurley. He's an important handcuff for Fantasy GMs as we get closer to the fantasy playoffs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [LAR - WR Brandin Cooks gets in another full practice](=) Source: TheRams.com Los Angeles Rams WR [Brandin Cooks]( (concussion) practiced in full again Saturday, Nov. 23, and has been cleared to play Monday, Nov. 25, against the Baltimore Ravens. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cooks is good to go against the Ravens. This is a huge game for the Rams offense and Cooks should be considered a deep flex in Week 12. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [DEN - QB Drew Lock not guaranteed to play this year]() Source: NFL Network - Mike Garafolo Denver Broncos QB Drew Lock's NFL debut date remains undetermined but the team is confident with his progress and 'wouldn't hesitate to play him if they get an opening,' according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network on Saturday, Nov. 23. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Broncos have Brandon Allen as their current starter but Lock is considered to be a potential quarterback of the future while Allen is seen more as a spot starter. When the Broncos get to eight losses (they have seven losses now), we could see them change their tune about whether or not Lock is going to play as a rookie. We think it's best for them to get him out there ASAP and determine whether or not they need to go back to the well at quarterback in the 2020 NFL draft. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [SF - WR Deebo Samuel likely for Week 12](=) Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Matt Maiocco San Francisco 49ers WR [Deebo Samuel]( (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 12, but is expected to play against the Green Bay Packers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Against the Packers on Sunday, we see Samuel as a WR3 or flex option for Fantasy GMs. His targets and usage may be determined by whether or not Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) is able to make it through the game unscathed. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [SF - WR Emmanuel Sanders should be a go](=) Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Matt Maiocco San Francisco 49ers WR [Emmanuel Sanders]( (ribs) is expected to play in Week 12 on Sunday, Nov. 24. He is listed as questionable with a rib injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rib injuries always come down to pain tolerance. Sanders could start the game then have a flare up of his ribs issue and leave the contest. The shaky nature of that injury could have Sanders on a lot of benches this week. We get it, and Sanders should be more of a deep flex or 'what the heck' flex in Week 12. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [SF - TE George Kittle expected to play](=) Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Matt Maiocco San Francisco 49ers TE [George Kittle]( (knee, ankle) is expected to play Sunday, Nov. 24, in Week 12. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the 49ers here and Fantasy GMs are still likely to start Kittle. If he can't go at the last minute, then Ross Dwelley would take over at the position. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [NE - WR Mohamed Sanu unlikely to play](=) Source: Boston Herald - Karen Guregian New England Patriots WR [Mohamed Sanu]( (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 12's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Outside of one game, Sanu hasn't done much for his new team. Without Sanu, the Patriots will lean on rookie N'Keal Harry a bit more in Week 12 against the Cowboys. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [LAR - WR Brandin Cooks never considered retiring](=) Source: ESPN.com - Lindsey Thiry Los Angeles Rams WR [Brandin Cooks]( said he never considered retirement after sustaining his second concussion in a 25-day span during Week 8's game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] He cleared concussion protocol earlier this week and is expected to return to action for Week 12's game against the Baltimore Ravens.
