[CIN - Ja'Marr Chase limited again](=) Source: Bengals.com Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Chase is going to be limited in practice, but the plan is that he will play against the Chiefs on Sunday. If Chase is out there, Fantasy GMs have to consider him at his usual WR1 level of production. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [BAL - QB Lamar Jackson practices Thursday](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jamison Hensley Baltimore Ravens QB [Lamar Jackson](=) (quad) missed the first 15 minutes of individual drills but was able to practice Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for the Ravens here after a bit of a scare on Wednesday. Jackson was unable to finish practice one day earlier due to a quad injury. Against the Broncos on Sunday, it could be a robust day for Jackson and the Ravens offense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [NYJ - RB Michael Carter misses another practice]( Source: ESPN.com - Rich Cimini New York Jets RB [Michael Carter](=) (ankle) did not participate in practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] As the week goes on, we're learning more about the availability of the players in the Jets' backfield. Carter has back-to-back DNPs so far, and it may not look good for him on Friday either. Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson are set to do more like they did last week. James Robinson was a healthy scratch in Week 12, but he should be out there in a limited role in Week 13 if Carter can't play. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [CHI - QB Justin Fields logs full practice Thursday]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Chicago Bears QB [Justin Fields](=) (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Bears have a bye in Week 14, but that doesn't mean Fields is out of action in Week 13. Matt Eberflus will provide more of an update on Friday. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [GB - QB Aaron Rodgers practicing Thursday]( Source: USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin - Ryan Wood Green Bay Packers QB [Aaron Rodgers](=) (thumb) will practice in a limited fashion Thursday, Dec. 1, according to head coach Matt LeFleur. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rodgers has multiple injuries that he's dealing with. This game against the Bears will be a big test to see if he still "owns" them, or if Rodgers is so banged up that he doesn't look the same against a team he normally dominates. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [DEN - Another setback for KJ Hamler]() Source: The Denver Post - Kyle Newman Denver Broncos WR KJ Hamler (hamstring) suffered a setback with his hamstring injury recently, according to head coach Nathaniel Hackett. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hamler is quite fast and talented, but he just can't stay healthy. Per Hackett, the team is still assessing if the injury will ultimately end Hamler's season. Next year will be the final year of Hamler's rookie contract, so we'll see if he can stay healthy and impress enough to be an attractive option in free agency of 2024. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [PIT - Jaylen Warren fully practices]() Source: Steelers.com - Teresa Varley Pittsburgh Steelers RB [Jaylen Warren](=) (hamstring) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It looks like Warren is trending toward returning to the field for the Steelers this week. With Najee Harris (oblique) injured and missing practice time, Warren could be in for a larger role in Week 13. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [DAL - Dallas' Thursday injury report]( Source: Dallas Morning News - Michael Gehlken Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (illness), WR [Michael Gallup](=) (illness) and OT Terence Steele (personal) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 1. Also, S Jayron Kearse (shoulder), DE DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) and LB Anthony Barr (hamstring) were limited. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Watch Gallup's injury as the Cowboys prepare for a Sunday night game against the Colts. Some of you out there might be considering Gallup a flex play, so make sure other options can be ready if he doesn't get over his illness. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [KC - WR Kadarius Toney absent Thursday]( Source: ChiefsWire - Charles Goldman Kansas City Chiefs WR [Kadarius Toney](=) (hamstring) was absent from practice Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Toney is day-to-day with this hamstring injury, but he might as well be week-to-week. When he plays, and nobody knows when that will be, Toney is a deep flex option for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- FOOTBALLGUYS PICKS DOMINATE YOUR FRIENDS WITH A FOOTBALLGUYS PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION - Consistently winning at Fantasy Football is hard.

[DEN - Denver adds two to practice squad](=) Source: 9News.com - Mike Klis The Denver Broncos re-signed free-agent RB [Devine Ozigbo](=) and LB Harvey Langi to their practice squad on Wednesday, Nov. 30. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ozigbo was called up for the game against the Panthers last week. With RB Mike Boone returning in the near future, Ozigbo might stay on the practice squad as veteran depth behind Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [CLE - TE David Njoku misses practice again]() Source: ClevelandBrowns.com Cleveland Browns TE [David Njoku](=) (knee) did not practice once again on Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] That's back-to-back DNPs for Njoku. We'll see what this passing game looks like with QB Deshaun Watson under center against the Texans on Sunday. Watson may not have Njoku available in Week 13. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [TB - WR Russell Gage back to work Thursday]() Source: Tampa Bay Times - Rick Stroud Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Russell Gage](=) Jr. (hamstring) returned to practice for the first time since Week 7 on Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for Gage and the Bucs here. We'll see what he can do during the week of practice as the team prepares for a Monday night game against the Saints. He'll be no.4 in the wide receiver pecking order so long as guys like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Julio Jones stay healthy. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [WAS - Thursday's practice report for Washington]( Source: The Washington Post - Nicki Jhabvala Washington Commanders RB [Antonio Gibson](=) (foot), WR [Dax Milne](=) (foot), CB Benjamin St-Juste (ankle) and OG Trai Turner (knee, ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 1. C Tyler Larsen (shoulder), TE [Logan Thomas](=) (rib) and DE Chase Young (knee) were limited. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Let's keep an eye on Gibson's status. Brian Robinson is the Commanders' lead back, but Gibson can play a valuable role as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [NYG - NY Giants' practice report for Thursday]() Source: Giants.com - Dan Salomone New York Giants OL Joshua Ezeudu (neck), CB Adoree' Jackson (knee), OL Shane Lemieux (toe) and WR [Darius Slayton](=) (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 1. TE [Daniel Bellinger](=) (eye), DB Dane Belton (shoulder), RB [Gary Brightwell](=) (illness), LB Carter Coughlin (thigh), OL Jon Feliciano (neck), DB Darnay Holmes (shoulder), WR [Richie James](=) (knee), DB Fabian Moreau (oblique) and DL Leonard Williams (neck) were limited. DB Cor'Dale Flott (concussion), OL Evan Neal (knee) and OL Tyre Phillips (neck) practiced in full. The Giants did not practice Thursday, so the report is an estimation. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Slayton needs to get over his illness before the big game on Sunday against the Commanders. If Slayton can get over his illness and get on the right side of questionable, we like him as a deep flex play in Week 13. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [TB - RB Leonard Fournette practicing Thursday]() Source: PewterReport.com Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB [Leonard Fournette](=) (hip) practiced Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fournette should be out there on Monday night against the Saints in Week 13. Fantasy GMs know he's going to split time with rookie RB Rachaad White, so expect Fournette to perform more like a flex play with this workload. Let's see what Fournette can do on Saturday to determine whether or not he's going to play and just how involved he will be. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [KC - RB Jerick McKinnon not practicing Thursday]( Source: ChiefsWire - Charles Goldman Kansas City Chiefs RB [Jerick McKinnon](=) (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Let's see if McKinnon can practice on Friday, but things aren't trending in the right direction. If McKinnon can't play against the Bengals on Sunday, the Chiefs could use Isiah Pacheco more as a receiving option in addition to what he does as their starting running back. Ronald Jones could be ready for more work, and the Chiefs did add Melvin Gordon to their practice squad as well. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [DAL - WR Michael Gallup missing second straight practice]( Source: Dallas Morning News - Michael Gehlken Dallas Cowboys WR [Michael Gallup](=) (illness) won't practice Thursday, Dec. 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's a Sunday night game against the Colts this week, so Fantasy GMs need to have other flex options at the ready. There's a chance Gallup gets to feeling better and is out there for the Cowboys in Week 13. Monitor his status on Friday.
