Breece Hall and John Franklin-Myers, both with ankle injuries, are not practicing. They’re in the rehab area. This could be a Dalvin Cook week.

Related Players: Dalvin Cook, Israel Abanikanda

Cook already had an extended workload last week and came away with his biggest output of the year -35 yards rushing- to go along with 11 yards receiving. Cook has obviously lost a step from his glory days, but would be a low-end RB2 if Hall misses this upcoming game.

Tommy DeVito will get another start at quarterback for the Giants.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll made the announcement about the team’s plans for Week 14 on Tuesday. The story went on to say DeVito has started the last three games, but there was some question about who would get the nod for Monday night against the Packers because Taylor has been designated to return from injured reserve.

Tim Boyle, the No. 3 quarterback who became the starter after the Jets benched Zach Wilson, will be released by the Jets, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

The Jets also will be signing quarterback Brett Rypien from the Seattle practice squad.

There is no update on who the Jets plan to start this week. There are conflicting reports about the team wanting to go back to Wilson but Wilson being reluctant to play. With Boyle out of the picture and Rypien perhaps needing more time to get up to speed, it could mean Siemian gets the nob. We'll likely know more by later in the week, but it probably goes without saying no one is really a good option outside of desperation plays in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues and dynasty leagues.

Robert Saleh says he's not ready to name the Jets' starting QB for Week 14, and going back to Zach Wilson is among the options.

Needless to say, this situation is a bit of a mess. Pelissero shared a post from Andrew Siciliano where Saleh said, "Let's be clear, if [Wilson] were reluctant to play, he wouldn't be here." But from Wilson's standpoint, who could blame him if there was any truth to the story from The Athletic. Be sure to monitor the situation, but whoever is named the starter would only have deeper league, two QB or superflex value.

The Jets want to make a switch at QB. The team is leaning towards Zach Wilson to take over, but he is reluctant to stepping back in.

Russini went on to say the team is discussing the next step to take. With Wilson not wanting to go back in, and the team not seeing much more from Boyle or Siemian this past week, the Jets may need to hit the waiver wire to find their next QB. The Jets sit at 4-8, and while they are still alive, they need to win-out and find a lot of help along the way.

Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor is getting closer to a return.

Taylor is being designated for return from injured reserve and his 21-day practice window is being opened, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Taylor has been on injured reserve for the last four weeks after suffering a rib injury.

The story expects Taylor to eventually be activated. However, the team has gone 2-1 over the last three games with DeVito as the starter so it would seem to make more sense for the Giants to stick with DeVito and evaluate him for the rest of the season.

Breece Hall (hamstring), Israel Abanikanda (illness), and Dalvin Cook (shoulder) are all questionable for Sunday.

OL Wes Schweitzer (calf) too.

Hall was a full practice participant on Friday. Abanikanda and Cook were limited.

A full Friday practice nearly always equates to a clearance by Sunday, so we should feel pretty good about Breece Hall being in our lineups for Week 13. His offensive environment could easily be considered the worst in the league, but his total involvement in all facets gives him a great floor, as he's averaged five receptions per game since the team's Week 7 bye.

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.
