| 11/27/2024 4:54:00 PM | Mattison (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. |
| Mattison at least is ahead of fellow Raiders running back Zamir White, who hasn't practiced since suffering a quad injury Week 11. Mattison injured his ankle later in the same game and then missed Week 12, allowing Ameer Abdullah to play 88 percent of snaps in a loss to Denver this past Sunday. Mattison could be back in the lead role if he's active for Friday's game against the Chiefs at 3:00 p.m. ET. | |
| 11/27/2024 4:35:00 PM | Warner said Wednesday that he fractured a bone in his ankle in the 49ers' Week 4 win over the Patriots and has been playing through the injury ever since, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. |
| Despite Warner's acknowledgement of the fractured ankle, the All-Pro linebacker has been absent from the 49ers' injury report since Week 6. He's appeared in all 11 of San Francisco's games this season, recording 84 total tackles, six passes defensed, two interceptions and four forced fumbles. Warner is expected to continue playing through injury when the 49ers travel to Buffalo in Week 13. | |
| 11/27/2024 4:09:00 PM | Montgomery (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bears. |
| Montgomery missed the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Colts but said afterward he would be ready by Thursday. It's not entirely clear his optimistic assessment was accurate, but the fact that the Lions listed him as a full practice participant Wednesday is a positive sign. However, the Lions held only walk-through practices on a short week, which means Montgomery didn't really get to test his injured shoulder in drills against teammates. Fantasy managers will want to check back for the final call on Montgomery's active status 90 minutes before the 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff Thursday. | |
| 11/27/2024 3:27:00 PM | Doubs (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. |
| Doubs suffered a concussion in the middle of the third quarter of this past Sunday's win against the 49ers when he drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone. He then was listed as a non-participant on all three practice estimates of Week 13 prep and thus won't be available Thursday. Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton and Malik Heath will be the candidates to see extra reps in three-wideout sets alongside Jayden Reed and Christian Watson. Meanwhile, Doubs' next chance for game action will come Dec. 5 at Detroit in another Thursday game. | |
| 11/27/2024 12:43:00 PM | Ekeler (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. |
| Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Ekeler remains in concussion protocol after he suffered a brain injury on a hard tackle during a kickoff return in the final minute of Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Cowboys. While he'll still have two more chances this week to potentially take part in practice, Ekeler doesn't appear to be trending toward playing this Sunday against the Titans. An Ekeler absence this weekend would open more snaps for back running backs Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez, who could see their roles grow even larger if lead back Brian Robinson (ankle) is also sidelined against the Titans. | |
| 11/25/2024 11:52:00 PM | Franklin recorded 13 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. |
| The seventh-year pro leads the league in tackles with 123 (64 solo). Franklin, a seventh-round pick in 2018, has now recorded three consecutive 100-plus tackle seasons. He has also yet to miss a defensive snap in 12 games this season. | |
| 11/25/2024 10:58:00 PM | Barton recorded six tackles (five solo), including 0.5 sacks, and a pass defensed in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders. |
| The inside linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the seventh time this season. With 74 tackles (35 solo) through 12 games, Barton has a chance at his third consecutive 100-plus tackle season. In 2024, he also has three pass breakups, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. | |
| 11/25/2024 7:15:00 PM | Mack (groin) is active for Monday's battle against Baltimore. |
| A groin injury kept Mack out of last Sunday's win over the Bengals and held him to a trio of limited practices this week, but the veteran pass rusher will be able to suit up Monday despite the issue. He'll have a challenging task ahead of him against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens defense that hasn't given up many sacks this season. Mack ranks third on the Chargers with 4.5 sacks on the season. | |
| 11/25/2024 4:23:00 PM | Moody went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Green Bay. |
| Moody only received two kicking opportunities in the lopsided defeat sans starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder). San Francisco's kicker hasn't missed a kick since his horrific Week 10, but his low usage has dampened his fantasy value. Moody and the 49ers will stay on the road to face the Bills in the snow next Sunday. | |
| 11/24/2024 10:43:00 PM | Sweat tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday. |
| Sweat has 4.5 sacks in 2024. However, the defensive end is averaging 2.1 tackles per contest, mostly rendering him a sack-dependent IDP. | |
| 11/24/2024 10:24:00 PM | Santos converted two of three field-goal attempts in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday. |
| For the second week in a row, Santos had a field goal blocked. Otherwise, Santos remains one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. However, the veteran has surpassed seven points just twice, making him a low-ceiling fantasy lineup option. | |
| 11/24/2024 10:02:00 PM | Young completed 21 of 35 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He added three rushes for 20 yards. |
| The Panthers came away with only nine first-half points, but Young kept the offense moving in the first two quarters by completing 10 of 18 passes for 177 yards. He managed to break through for a touchdown on a one-yard pass to David Moore midway through the third quarter, and Young also managed four completions of at least 20 yards -- his highest mark in a game this season. The only shortcoming of his performance was a single touchdown pass, but this was almost certainly his best start of the campaign. His position as Carolina's starter in the short-term is also seemingly no longer in question, as coach Dave Canales said that Young will start in Week 13 against Tampa Bay, per David Newton of ESPN.com. | |
| 11/24/2024 9:42:00 PM | Kraft reeled in both of his targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 rout of the 49ers. |
| Kraft was the beneficiary of one of Jordan Love's two passing touchdowns in a one-sided victory. The sophomore tight end rebounded from last week's zero-catch outing to score his sixth touchdown of the season against San Francisco. Kraft is a reasonable option for fantasy managers to consider on Thanksgiving when the Packers host the Dolphins on Thursday. | |
| 11/24/2024 7:16:00 PM | Williams completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added six rushes for 33 yards. |
| The Bears were playing from behind for the entire second half, which led to Williams' second-highest pass attempt total of his rookie season. While that aided his stat line, there were plenty of positives to take from his performance, including six completions of at least 20 yards. He also recorded his first passing score since Week 6, connecting with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen for 10- and one-yard touchdowns, respectively. Willams is likely to experience more inconsistency to close the season, though he has averaged a respectable 7.3 yards per attempt in two games since the Bears have changed offensive coordinators. | |
| 11/24/2024 5:16:00 PM | Achane rushed 10 times for 32 yards and brought in three of four targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday. |
| Achane surprisingly found running room at a premium against a Patriots team that had struggled against opposing ground attacks all season, but he made up for it with the second multi-TD receiving effort of his career. Achane found the end zone from nine and 11 yards out exactly six minutes apart in the second quarter, his fourth and fifth touchdowns over the last four games. Achane figures to be in for another busy workday when the Dolphins travel to Lambeau Field to face off with the Packers in a Thanksgiving Night showdown Thursday. | |
| 11/24/2024 12:22:00 PM | Clowney (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. |
| Clowney didn't participate in practice Wednesday, but he progressed to a limited session Thursday and a full session Friday, setting him up to play Sunday. The veteran pass rusher has tallied 27 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through eight games on the campaign. Clowney will try to put pressure on Patrick Mahomes on Sunday along with D.J. Wonnum, who is also active after coming into the weekend with a questionable tag. | |
| 11/23/2024 4:31:00 PM | The Panthers placed Sanders (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. |
| Sanders had already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 game against Kansas City after spraining his ankle against the Giants in Week 10 prior to Carolina's Week 11 bye. He wasn't able to practice at all this week, and his move to IR means Sanders won't be eligible to return to game action until Sunday, Dec. 22 versus Arizona. His absence comes as rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) appears set to make his NFL debut Sunday while serving as the Panthers' No. 2 back behind Chuba Hubbard. | |
| 11/22/2024 10:38:00 AM | Fields failed to complete his lone pass attempt while rushing three times for 26 yards during Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Browns. |
| Fields was out with the offense for three snaps during last week's win over the Ravens, and his snap count increased slightly Thursday, with most of his action coming in the second half, when the snow made passing conditions difficult. He's been efficient during his limited action over the last two games, averaging 8.6 yards per carry on five rushing attempts, but he remains firmly in the No. 2 role behind Russell Wilson and is unlikely to have much of a fantasy impact as long as he continues to see minimal snaps. | |
| 11/21/2024 11:36:00 PM | Wilson completed 21 of 28 passes for 270 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed three times for 10 yards in the Steelers' 24-19 loss to the Browns on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble and recovered another. |
| Wilson put up his second-highest passing yardage total of the season in a game that was played in significantly inclement winter weather as it unfolded. Wilson was able to get the Steelers within striking distance of a potential game-winning score on the final drive before throwing an incompletion on a Hail Mary as time expired. Prior to that, the veteran signal-caller connected with Calvin Austin for a 23-yard touchdown pass with 6:15 remaining, but he'd also lost a fumble at the Steelers' 31-yard line late in the first half that led to a Browns' field goal. Wilson's numbers were still encouraging within the context of the weather conditions the game was played in, and he'll now have extra time to prepare for a key divisional Week 13 road clash against the Bengals on Sunday, Dec. 1. | |
| 11/18/2024 12:49:00 AM | Chase reeled in seven of his 13 targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. |
| Chase has his fantasy managers off to a great start for No-Loss November with staggering totals of 25 receptions, 482 yards and five touchdowns in just three games this calendar month. The 24-year-old also clinched his fourth 1,000-yard season in as many years as a pro Sunday. The Bengals welcomed back Tee Higgins (9-148-1) in this contest, and both star wideouts thrived playing off of each other with 13 targets apiece. With Cincinnati on a bye in Week 12, Chase will continue to add to his magnificent 73-1,056-12 season line when the team resumes play against the Steelers on Dec. 1. | |
| 11/17/2024 11:00:00 PM | Shakir had eight receptions on 12 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 30-21 victory over the Chiefs. |
| Shakir finished as the Bills' leading receiver in a decisive victory over another conference contender. The 24-year-old has blossomed into a consistent fantasy asset in his third year. Through 10 games this season, Shakir is just 12 yards shy of matching his entire production during the 2023 regular season in seven fewer games. The receiver's lack of touchdowns (two) has kept him from becoming a certified fantasy breakout as the Bills enter a bye week. | |
| 11/9/2024 4:35:00 PM | Olave (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| After suffering his second concussion in a month, and third concussion in a calendar year, this was expected. The star target will be out at least until mid-December, at which point it's possible the team will decide whether it's worth bringing back Olave altogether given New Orleans likely won't be in the playoff hunt. Expect more information regarding his playing status to come later in November. | |
| 10/30/2024 2:58:00 PM | Dalton (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. |
| After injuring his thumb in a car accident last week, Dalton was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos, which opened the door for second-year quarterback Bryce Young to make his first start since Week 2. Though the veteran now appears to be fully recovered from the thumb injury, Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that Young will continue to start over Dalton in a Week 9 matchup with the Saints, per Joe Person of The Athletic. Dalton will likely be active Sunday, but in the backup role he had filled in Weeks 1 and 2. | |
| 8/2/2024 12:52:00 AM | Bagent started the Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday, completing two of three passes for 16 yards. |
| As his modest final line implies, Bagent, who's thought to have the inside track to the No. 2 job, made only a cameo appearance. The second-year pro played on the Bears' first possession and recorded his two completions to Roschon Johnson and Stephen Carlson. Brett Rypien, Bagent's competition to serve as the primary backup to first overall pick Caleb Williams, saw the bulk of playing time in the weather-shortened game and excelled in a three-touchdown performance, so Bagent will likely have to perform well in any more extensive action he may see the remainder of preseason to ensure he keeps his presumptive lead in the job battle. | |
