The Bears have not yet ruled QB Justin Fields out for Sunday's game against the Jets, but multiple reports say he's not expected to play. That means it'll almost certainly be Trevor Siemian vs. Mike White in this electrifying offensive matchup. Try to look elsewhere for fantasy upside when possible.
Colts TE Kylen Granson was limited in practice all week with an illness and is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Steelers. Indianapolis would be left with TEs Mo Alie-Cox and Jelani Woods if Granson is unable to play. Continue avoiding the situation in season-long leagues.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Colts. The rookie lasted just 3 snaps last week -- and RB Najee Harris ended up racking up 20 carries and 6 targets on a 92% snap rate. He could be in for similar usage on Monday.
Titans K Randy Bullock (calf) has been downgraded to out for Week 12. Caleb Shudak will kick vs. Cincinnati but isn't a recommended fantasy play with Tennessee sporting a 20.75-point implied total.
Ravens WR DeSean Jackson has been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. Jackson lasted just 11 snaps in his 1 and only game with Baltimore back in Week 9 before injuring his hamstring. He was targeted twice on those 11 snaps, though, and could step into a significant role tomorrow with TE Isaiah Likely out and WRs Demarcus Robinson and Devin Duvernay banged up. Jackson isn't a realistic season-long option but could be an interesting DFS tournament flier.
The Cardinals have activated WR Marquise Brown from IR. Brown has been out since breaking a bone in his left foot in Week 6 but should find targets available. Arizona will be without slot man Rondale Moore, and slot backup Greg Dortch is questionable.
The Buccaneers have downgraded RB Leonard Fournette (hip) to out for Sunday's game against the Browns. He had already been deemed doubtful, so we moved Rachaad White up the Week 12 fantasy football rankings Friday in anticipation of Fournette not playing. Tampa Bay has also activated RB Giovani Bernard. We'll see what kind of role he can carve out, but we're not worried about Bernard's impact on White's numbers.
The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) will not play vs. the Titans on Sunday. "I’m told the Bengals’ All-Pro WR had a good week of practice, but isn’t quite ready to return from a hairline hip fracture and torn labrum," Schultz tweets. This conflicts with NFL Network's take that Chase was trending toward returning for this one -- but Schultz's reports tend to be on point. We should get further updates on Chase's status on Sunday morning and will get Cincinnati's inactives at 11:30 am ET.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He suffered an ankle injury in Friday's practice. Likely's absence probably just pushes an extra target or 2 Mark Andrews' way.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is a game-time decision but is "trending in the right direction" to play vs. the Titans on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport adds that Chase was originally expected to miss more time but that his doctor's appointment last week was "exceptionally positive." Insider Mike Garafolo adds that Chase will still be "battling through" the hip issue. He was limited in practice all week -- and it's certainly possible that his snaps and/or effectiveness are limited tomorrow.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. We haven’t heard any concern about his availability for that one, but we’ll look for an update on his status on Sunday morning. Saints-49ers doesn’t kick off until 4:25 pm ET.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final Week 12 injury report. "He feels great, he feels 100%,” HC Kliff Kingsbury said Friday. “If there was anything less than that we would have maybe waited, but he feels full go, so we're going to get him going." Murray will be back under center for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers.
Rams WR Allen Robinson (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. Between the ankle issue and a backup QB under center, Robinson is not a recommended Week 12 fantasy play.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chiefs after getting in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Sean McVay said Friday that he expects Higbee to play. But between the knee issue and a backup QB, he’s a shaky fantasy option.
Browns TE David Njoku (ankle, knee) is not listed on the final Week 12 injury report. He got in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday, though, and HC Kevin Stefanski said Friday that he wasn’t sure if Njoku would be ready for an increased workload vs. the Bucs on Sunday after playing just 37% of the snaps last week. Try not to use Njoku in Week 12 fantasy lineups.
Browns WR David Bell (concussion) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. The rookie will continue operating as Cleveland’s #3 WR vs. the Bucs this weekend.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks after suffering an apparent calf injury in Friday's practice. We haven't seen details on the issue, so we'll need to watch his status throughout the weekend.
Saints EDGE Cameron Jordan (eye) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers. He managed limited practices all week after missing the 1st game of his career with an orbital-bone injury. We'd bet on him returning. EDGE Marcus Davenport (calf) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) are also questionable. Lattimore is the one to watch. If he's ready to go, it would be his 1st appearance since Week 5.
Packers LB De'Vondre Campbell (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Campbell has been out since suffering the injury in Week 8. Krys Barnes delivered big numbers in place of Campbell last week -- 12 tackles, 1 sack -- but played just 67% of snaps. That's a tough level at which to consistently put up fantasy numbers. And Philadelphia has been a negative scoring matchup for fantasy LBs on the year.
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. He managed limited practices all week, so we'd bet on him playing through an issue he's been dealing with for weeks. CB Kristian Fulton (hamstring) is also questionable. DL Denico Autry (knee) has been ruled out.
