[GB - Surgery a possibility for QB Aaron Rodgers](=) Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Tom Silverstein Updating earlier reports, Green Bay Packers QB [Aaron Rodgers](=) (toe) indicated that a 'surgical option' for his fractured toe has not been ruled out, and that the bye week might be the time to have the procedure. He added that would only entertain surgery if it were deemed absolutely necessary. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rodgers is missing time in practice, and he's limited when he does get out there because of this toe problem. The Packers have a bye in Week 13, and that will give the aging superstar quarterback some rest. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [LVR - TE Darren Waller suffers injury]() Source: NFL.com Las Vegas Raiders TE [Darren Waller](=) suffered an injury during the Week 12 game and is considered questionable to return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Waller was on the sideline riding the stationary bike but appeared to be in some pain. Some reported it was a back injury but others indicated it was a knee. He'll have additional testing tomorrow. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [TB - WR Mike Evans sits again](=) Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Mike Evans](=) (back) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 25, for the second straight day. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Evans played through the back issue on Monday night, but this week in practice he's had to miss time. We'll see if he can be limited on Friday...at least. If you have Evans, make sure to have other plans at the ready in case he can't play against the Colts on Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [NYG - WR Kadarius Toney sits again]() Source: Giants.com New York Giants WR [Kadarius Toney](=) (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Things are thin for the Giants at receiver with Toney and Sterling Shepard (quad) banged up. If Toney can play on Sunday against the Eagles, Fantasy GMs can look at him as a 'what the heck' flex with higher in-game injury risk. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [WAS - TE Ricky Seals-Jones not on field]( Source: WashingtonFootball.com Washington Football Team TE [Ricky Seals-Jones](=) (hip) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] WFT should be getting Logan Thomas back out there at tight end. He's back in practice this week and should start in Week 12. Fantasy GMs can plug him in as a TE1 if he's out there against the Seahawks on Monday night. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [DET - D'Andre Swift done for the day](=) Source: FOX Sports - Erin Andrews Updating previous reports, Detroit Lions RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) will not return vs. the Chicago Bears on Thursday, Nov. 25, due to a shoulder injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Swift finishes Thanksgiving with three carries for zero yards and three catches for nine yards. Fantasy GMs who started Swift as an RB1 will have some indigestion with this performance.

Hilton](=) (toe) was upgraded to a full session during practice Thursday, Nov. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's good news for Hilton, but Fantasy GMs are unlikely to be starting him in Week 12 against the Buccaneers. With the risk he could go out at any time, and with the Colts running early and often, we see Hilton as a WR5/deep flex play...and that means he's likely going to be on your bench. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [TB - WR Antonio Brown sits once more](=) Source: Buccaneers.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Antonio Brown](=) (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Nov. 25, for the second straight day this week. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Brown is getting closer to a return but not just yet. He is not expected to play and could return in Week 13, according to head coach Bruce Arians, per a report by ProFootballTalk.com's Curtis Crabtree. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [JAX - RB James Robinson limited again](=) Source: Jaguars.com Jacksonville Jaguars RB [James Robinson](=) (heel, knee) was limited again in practice Thursday, Nov. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Robinson is limited in practice for a couple of days, but we'll see if he can fully participate on Friday. He should be able to give it a go against the Falcons in Week 12, and Robinson is his usual low-end RB1 for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [CHI - QB Justin Fields has cracked ribs](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Chicago Bears QB [Justin Fields](=) (ribs) had an MRI reveal tiny fractures in multiple ribs, which is why he's out for Week 12. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Even with the cracked ribs, the expectation is that Fields will be out there for Week 13. The Bears are at home to face the Cardinals that Sunday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [NYG - Limited practice for RB Saquon Barkley]() Source: Giants.com New York Giants RB [Saquon Barkley](=) (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] No surprise here. We were expecting Barkley to be limited most of the week. He might be a full participant on Friday, but it seems like he's on track to play against the Eagles. Fantasy GMs can now start Barkley as a RB2 or flex option in Week 12. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [ATL - RB Cordarrelle Patterson limited Thursday]() Source: AtlantaFalcons.com - Scott Bair Atlanta Falcons RB [Cordarrelle Patterson](=) (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 25. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Keep an eye on Patterson's status Friday. He should be able to play against the Jaguars in Week 12. Patterson is a RB2 for Fantasy GMs based on his skill set and the matchup. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
