Coach Saleh says that QB Aaron Rodgers' 21-day practice window will open today.

This would be an insanely fast recovery if he actually sees the field by the end of the year. It would also be an insane boost for the Jets' fantasy pieces after they've had to deal with some truly awful back-up play from Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle. We'll keep our eye out for updates over the next couple of weeks.

The Packers have used Jayden Reed in a multitude of ways — as a punt returner, on end arounds, on jet sweeps and lined up as a traditional receiver. With what he’s done in those snaps — he’s played 417, more than 59 percent of Green Bay’s offensive snaps, second-most among wide receivers — there’s enough sample size to not only back up A.J. Dillon’s claim of being similar to Randall Cobb, but wonder whether Reed can be even more impactful as he continues to grow in the Packers’ offense.

Among rookie wide receivers, Reed ranks first in rushes of at least 10 yards (four), tied for second in plays of at least 20 yards (10) and third in total touchdowns (six) and yards per catch (13.8).

It's a great story that goes into detail about Reed, his season and what his teammates think of him. As the piece went on to say, the Packers have relied heavily on Reed since Week 1 when they called his number on the second play from scrimmage of the season, returned multiple punts and tied for the team lead with five targets. Entering Week 13, he’s done nothing for that faith to wane, as he ranks second in targets (59) behind only wideout Romeo Doubs (69), second in receptions (36), first in receiving yards (497) and second in total touchdowns (six). The story pointed out Reed may be small but has strong hands and speed that pops.

On Monday, GM Joe Schoen said “the expectation moving forward” is that Daniel Jones, who signed a four-year deal with the Giants this offseason, will be the starter once he’s healthy.

Schoen added there’s no firm timetable for when Jones will be healthy. The Giants will likely be making a move at the position in 2024, and Schoen said the team will likely have to do something in the draft or free agency in terms of quarterback.

The Giants first turned to Tommy DeVito at quarterback when Tyrod Taylor injured his ribs against the Jets in Week 8 and they may face a question about which one of them to start when they return to action in Week 14.

“We’re just getting started on that process now. We’ll have plenty of meetings tonight, tomorrow,” HC Brian Daboll said, via SNY.

Taylor has spent four weeks on injured reserve, so he is now eligible to return to active duty. After DeVito's first couple games, it was hard to believe the Giants would consider staying with him, but DeVito has progressed a bit over his last two starts, and at this point in the Giants lost season, they may be better off seeing what they have with DeVito over the final five games.

Tim Boyle will start for the Jets on Black Friday against the Dolphins, according to multiple reports.

Boyle relieved Wilson this past week but went 7-for-14 for 33 yards and an INT against the Bills. The Jets are hoping any kind of spark can keep them alive long enough to get Aaron Rodgers back this season. Boyle saw one game last year going 2-for-8 for 33 yards with two INTs for the Bears in Week 18. In 2021, Boyle got some time with the Lions starting three games but losing all three. He threw for three TDs in those contests but also had six INTs. For now, Boyle should only be considered it deeper leagues that start two QBs.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson, who has been limited all week with an elbow injury, is questionable for Sunday, with Robert Saleh saying he feels good about him (and many of the other questionables) playing.

If Garrett Wilson were to miss, no one else on this team outside of Breece Hall could be trusted in fantasy. Lazard has looked awful this year and the rotation behind him is very thin.

The Jets waived running back Michael Carter on Tuesday, the team announced.

Related players: Breece Hall, Dalvin Cook, Israel Abanikanda

Carter wasn't happy when the team went out and signed Cook before the season started, but Cook - as it turns out - hasn't really been a factor this year. The release of Cook means the team will likely give the RB3 duties to the rookie Abanikanda, the story said, who was a fifth round pick this past spring. Those in the dynasty world had hopes on Abanikanda going to a team that would have used him more than the Jets, at least to this point. But Abanikanda's role should increase, and he's a Cook injury away from being the team's RB2. He's at least worth picking up in deeper leagues.

Aaron Rodgers’ goal is to return in mid-December, he told Melissa Stark.

This would be an incredible recovery and in time for a possible playoff push for the Jets, Garafolo's post went on to say. Rodgers has been hinting at a return for a while, but this will obviously depend on the Jets being in the playoff picture. The Jets are currently 4-5 on the season and are certainly still alive. They are a game out of the Wild Card, not getting into all the possible tiebreakers. Currently the Texans are 5-4 and in the final of three Wild Card spots. The Jets will play the Bills, Dolphins, Falcons and Texans up to Dec. 10.

The Giants signed QB Jacob Eason and RB Hassan Hall to the practice squad.

Normally a practice squad QB signing isn't always fantasy-worthy news, but considering DeVito and Barkley are the QBs ahead of Eason, who knows what could happen for the rest of the season.
