Per Geoff, Ja'Maar Chase limited again at Thanksgiving practice. Joe Mixon out Thursday with concussion while Dax Hill and Chris Evans went full.

Samaje Perine looks to be in the driver's seat as the Bengals lead back for Week 12, which would make him a solid RB2 in fantasy.

Head coach Zac Taylor says Mixon is in concussion protocol. Hope level for Ja’Marr Chase: "Don’t know. Hard to make a prediction for Sunday. Getting him back on the field this week, and it is day-by-day."

The Bengals were without two of their big play-makers but didn't seem any worse for wear, as names like Samaje Perine and Trenton Irwin found the end zone multiple times. Perine has proven to be a valuable fantasy commodity if Mixon isn't on the field, so this is something to keep an eye on throughout the week.

Jerry Jeudy will not practice for a second straight day, per Nathaniel Hackett.

Things aren't trending well for Jeudy or, according to a separate report, WR Kendall Hinton. Week 11 should set up as another double-digit target game for Courtland Sutton.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Saints are signing former Cardinals and Texans running back David Johnson to their practice squad.

Related players: Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram, Dwayne Washington

Johnson has been out of the league since wrapping up last season with Houston. The story said the Saints also made an unsuccessful waiver claim for Eno Benjamin this week, so they’re clearly looking for something else to go with Kamara in the backfield with Ingram missing the last couple of games with an injury. If Ingram remains out, Johnson could battle with Washington for the RB2 role after the team cut ties with Jordan Howard and Derrick Gore.

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is getting an MRI on his ankle, but heading into the MRI, the belief is he strained a muscle behind his ankle. He couldn't put any pressure on it yesterday, so he couldn't run routes. Testing will tell how long he's out.

If Jeudy is forced to miss extensive time, Courtland Sutton would become the team's WR1 and de facto target hog. The only problem is, Russell Wilson, and this offense in general, will still cap his ceiling as a fantasy WR2. Kendall Hinton easily recorded a career-high with his 47 routes in Week 10, turning five targets into four receptions and 62 yards.

The team returned from their bye week on Tuesday and Kenny Golladay was on the practice field. It’s the first time that Golladay has practiced since the Friday before their Week Four win over the Bears and Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Golladay should play against the Texans this weekend.

How much Golladay plays is a different question. We have him buried way down the team's depth chart.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen is not on the field for the portion of practice open to reporters. Allen has not practiced all week because of his hamstring.

Related Players: Josh Palmer, DeAndre Carter, Michael Bandy

There's not much more to say about Keenan Allen's lower body injuries. Josh Palmer should operate as the Chargers' WR1 and carries moderate fantasy value, even in a great matchup against the Falcons. He should be considered a WR2/3, while DeAndre Carter is a speedy Flex consideration.

Texans WR Brandin Cooks’ status is up in the air for tonight’s game against the Eagles after multiple teams — including the #Rams and #Cowboys — couldn’t pull off a trade before Tuesday’s deadline.

Related Players: Phillip Dorsett, Chris Moore, Tyron Johnson

With Nico Collins already being declared out, the Texans wide receiver group tonight looks like a practice squad group. Houston is now a 14-point underdog against the Eagles, and the line could continue to move with this added news. Dameon Pierce is the only fantasy-viable option on this team at the moment.

Saints RB Mark Ingram suffered a grade 2 MCL sprain, which means he’s likely out 3-4 weeks. Could have been a lot worse for Ingram, who will be back soon.

Related Players: Dwayne Washington

In fantasy terms, this is unlikely to affect Alvin Kamara, whose usage is impervious to who is on the depth chart with him. Dwayne Washington would be the beneficiary of Ingram missing some time, as he was the only other running back to log a rushing attempt (four), while hybrid athlete Taysom Hill had ten attempts.

Chargers are expecting Mike Williams to miss a minimum of four weeks.

Related players: DeAndre Carter, Keenan Allen, Michael Bandy, Josh Palmer

The good news is the Bolts have a bye this week, which should give Allen a chance to get healthy and ready for what will likely be a huge workload with Williams out. Carter and Palmer are next up on the depth chart and should see increased roles. Williams was having a nice year averaging about 8 targets a game.
