Bills QB Derek Anderson (concussion, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 13.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right wrist) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking full practice reps Thursday. Cody Kessler is going to start for the Jaguars.

Patriots QB Tom Brady (knee) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking limited practice reps Thursday. Brady is good to go to face the Vikings.

Raiders QB Derek Carr (ankle) took full practice reps all week. He’s good to go. He may be forced to pass more than the Raiders would like if/when they fall behind against the Chiefs.

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. QB Josh McCown (back, right hand) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. McCown was removed from the injury report so at this point we think he’ll start in Week 13.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco (hip, doubtful) took limited practice reps again Friday and is doubtful for Week 13.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (abdomen) took full practice reps all week. He’s good to go. He’s a Sneaky Start against the Jets after posting three good fantasy lines in four games since his bye.

Redskins QB Colt McCoy (right thumb, left shoulder) took full practice reps again Friday.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He’s good to go.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) took full practice reps all week. He’s good to go. Rodgers typically plays better at home, though the Cardinals’ defense has shown run-funnel tendencies this year.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. He’s good to go. He’s a nice play at home even though the Chargers are pretty good defensively.

Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill (right shoulder) took full practice reps all week. He’s going to play, but it’s a tough matchup against the Bills.

Bears QB Mitch Trubisky (right shoulder, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 13. Chase Daniel is going to get another start.

Buccaneers RB Peyton Barber (ankle, shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Barber will play but he doesn’t have much upside unless he can find the end zone.

Lions RB Nick Bellore (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Redskins RB Kapri Bibbs (shoulder) took full practice reps again Friday. Bibbs probably won’t play much if Chris Thompson returns.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (thigh) took full practice reps all week.

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Breida was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go.

Jets RB Trenton Cannon (hamstring) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson (not injury related) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Carson is good to go for a nice matchup against the 49ers.

Packers RB Tra Carson (rib, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Ravens RB Alex Collins (foot, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 13. There was a report that Collins did not practice on Friday but the official injury report indicates he was a full participant. If he plays, it would make Gus Edwards’ workload less dependable.

Bears RB Benny Cunningham (ankle, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 13.

Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake (shoulder) took limited practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go.

Titans RB David Fluellen (knee, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 13.

Dolphins RB Frank Gore (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday.

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13. Johnson isn’t going to play so it will be up to LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick to handle most of the RB touches against the Rams. Both players have some Sneaky Start appeal against a shaky Rams rush defense.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (concussion, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 13. Mack has one more step to clear in the concussion protocol. We expect him to play this week.

Seahawks RB Tre Madden (chest, doubtful) missed practice again Thursday and is doubtful for Week 13.

Redskins RB Adrian Peterson (shoulder) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Peterson should play, but Chris Thompson could cut into his touches.

Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (abdomen, out) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice and is out for Week 13.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Friday. He’s expected to return this week.

Redskins RB Chris Thompson (rib) took full practice reps again Friday. Thompson is expected to return this week, but his workload may not be as high as it was early in the year. He has averaged 15.5 PPR points in his four healthy games.

Dolphins WR Danny Amendola (knee, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 13. Amendola isn’t going to play this week which should open up targets for Kenny Stills, DeVante Parker and Leonte Carroo, but the Bills’ secondary is so stingy that it may not matter.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 13. Anderson is a threat to catch a long ball against the Titans, assuming he can suit up.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (groin) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. He has been removed from the injury report so he should be nearing full health. Either way, he’s sure to face the 49ers.

Vikings WR Chad Beebe (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Ravens WR John Brown (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Brown is good to go for a nice matchup against the Falcons.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark (quadricep, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. Cobb hasn’t played in a while, so we’re not counting on him playing this week until we don’t see his name among the Packers’ inactives on Sunday.

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. Coutee is a game-time decision.

Ravens WR Michael Crabtree (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. Crabtree will be out there against Atlanta.

Redskins WR Jamison Crowder (ankle) took limited practice reps again Friday. Crowder is inching closer to a return.

Packers WR Trevor Davis (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs (knee, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 13. Diggs is expected to play against the Patriots this week.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking full practice reps Thursday. He’s good to go.

Lions WR Bruce Ellington (back, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. Ellington should be able to play against the Rams hand has some PPR appeal.

Jets WR Quincy Enunwa (ankle) took full practice reps again Friday. Enunwa will be out there against the Titans.

Bengals WR Alex Erickson (not injury related) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking full practice reps Thursday.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. Fitzgerald has a nice matchup against a weak Packer secondary.

Panthers WR Devin Funchess (back, not injury related, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 13.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (knee, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 13. Marquise Goodwin (not injury related, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13. Dante Pettis is the best receiver play in the 49er WR corps. Kendrick Bourne and Richie James will also see extra work, though George Kittle will be the focal point of the team’s passing game.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. He’s dealing with a new quarterback so we don’t have him ranked as high as he typically would be. It doesn’t help that he’s had a long layoff either.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (groin) took limited practice reps again Friday. Hilton will be fine to face the Jags.

Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins (foot) took limited practice reps all week. Hopkins will be out there against the Browns, but he’ll have a tough individual matchup with Denzel Ward.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 13. With Jackson out, Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin should see 70% or more of the snaps in a pretty nice matchup against the Panthers.

Bengals WR Josh Malone (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. Parker should be able to play through the shoulder injury but he’s going to have a tough time taking advantage of Danny Amendola’s absence if he’s banged up, especially against a very good Buffalo secondary.

Lions WR Brandon Powell (calf, out) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is out for Week 13.

Redskins WR Trey Quinn (ankle) took limited practice reps again Friday.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (ankle, elbow) took limited practice reps all week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go.

Jets WR Andre Roberts (foot) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Colts WR Chester Rogers (groin, questionable) missed practice Friday and is questionable for Week 13.

Panthers WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) took full practice reps again Friday. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go. Unfortunately for him, it looks like Devin Funchess may return. That would cut into Samuel’s snaps and targets.

Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (heel) took limited practice reps again Friday. Sanders should be fine for a great matchup with the Bengals.

Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (ankle) took full practice reps again Friday.

Panthers WR Torrey Smith (knee) took full practice reps again Friday.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (calf) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. He was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go.

Texans WR Demaryius Thomas (wrist) took full practice reps all week. Thomas caught two touchdowns last week and could remain involved, especially if Keke Coutee is out or limited.

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13. Watkins is out so Chris Conley will have another opportunity to play big snaps against a very shaky Oakland pass defense.

Cardinals WR Chad Williams (ankle, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. Williams might be able to return this week.

Chargers WR Tyrell Williams (quadricep, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. Williams was very limited last week, so we prefer Mike Williams this week.

Vikings WR Brandon Zylstra (foot, questionable) was limited Friday after taking full reps earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 13.

Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox (calf, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Browns TE Seth DeValve (calf) took full practice reps all week.

Colts TE Eric Ebron (back) took full practice reps again Friday. Ebron will be fine to face the Jaguars. He’s a top five play with Jack Doyle out for the year.

Giants TE Evan Engram (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13. With Engram out, Rhett Ellison should see most of the snaps and targets at tight end.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday.

Packers TE Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) took limited practice reps again Friday. Graham will play against Arizona.

Steelers TE Xavier Grimble (concussion) took full practice reps all week.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking limited practice reps Thursday. Gronk was removed from the injury report which is both surprising and a relief, since the Pats play late. His owners won’t have to worry about his status this week. He’ll be out there.

Colts TE Ryan Hewitt (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Panthers TE Chris Manhertz (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Steelers TE Vance McDonald (hip) took full practice reps again Friday. McDonald will be out there against the Chargers.

Vikings TE David Morgan (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Njoku is good to go.

Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) took full practice reps again Friday. Olsen will be out there against the Bucs. He’s a solid TE1 in a very good matchup despite low usage in recent weeks.

Cardinals TE John Phillips (knee) took full practice reps all week.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (back) took limited practice reps again Friday. Reed should be out there on Monday night.

Lions TE Michael Roberts (shoulder, doubtful) took limited practice reps all week and is doubtful for Week 13.

Bears TE Adam Shaheen (concussion) took full practice reps all week.

Colts TE Erik Swoope (knee, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice Thursday and is questionable for Week 13. He could be the No. 2 tight end this week if he can play. The Colts just signed Clive Walford off the street.

Texans TE Jordan Thomas (hamstring) took full practice reps again Friday.

Bills TE Logan Thomas (not injury related) was removed from the injury report Friday.

Jets TE Eric Tomlinson (elbow) took full practice reps all week.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco (hip) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. At this point, we’re expecting Lamar Jackson to start this week.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (abdomen) took full practice reps again Thursday. Mariota will be out there against the Jets. In three non-injury games since his Week 8 bye, Mariota has posted 240/2 against the Cowboys, 228/2 against the Patriots and 303/2 against the Texans while adding 77 total rushing yards and a touchdown as a runner. This works out to a 22.3-point average, though he was putting up a stinker against the Colts in Week 11 before being knocked out of the game just after a half.

Redskins QB Colt McCoy (right thumb, left shoulder) took full practice reps Thursday. McCoy will start against the Eagles on Monday night.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Newton should be fine for a great matchup against the Bucs.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday. Rodgers will be fine to face the Cardinals.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. No worries here.

Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill (right shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Bears QB Mitch Trubisky (right shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. He’s still not throwing. Chase Daniel is going to start against the Giants.

Buccaneers RB Peyton Barber (ankle, shoulder) was limited Thursday after taking full practice reps Wednesday. This is a downgrade for Barber who practiced fully all of last week and on Wednesday. We’ll see if this indicates an injury or just a maintenance day.

Lions RB Nick Bellore (ankle) missed practice again Thursday.

Redskins RB Kapri Bibbs (shoulder) took full practice reps Thursday.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (thigh) took full practice reps again Thursday.

49ers RB Matt Breida (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Breida should be fine to face the Seahawks.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson (not injury related) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Carson should be fine for a nice matchup against the 49ers.

Packers RB Tra Carson (rib) missed practice again Thursday.

Ravens RB Alex Collins (foot) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. He may be able to return this week but it looks like Gus Williams is the RB1 in Baltimore at this point.

Bears RB Benny Cunningham (ankle) missed practice again Thursday.

Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. The limited practice this early in the week is a good sign for Drake’s availability against the Colts. He has been targeted on 20.5% of Ryan Tannehill’s targets this season and has averaged 13.9 fantasy points in Tannehill’s six games.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards (ankle) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Edwards should be able to play in a great matchup against the Falcons.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (neck) took full practice reps again Thursday. Ekeler should lead the backfield in touches but Justin Jackson will be involved as well. We view Ekeler as a high-end RB2 against the Steelers this week.

Titans RB David Fluellen (knee) missed practice Thursday after taking limited reps Wednesday.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Gordon is likely out at least two games.

Dolphins RB Frank Gore (not injury related) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice.

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) missed practice again Thursday. It doesn’t look like Johnson will be back this week. LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick will form a committee against the Rams.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (concussion) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Mack is on track to return for Week 13. He’s a decent play against the Jaguars.

Seahawks RB Tre Madden (chest) did not practice Wednesday.

Redskins RB Adrian Peterson (shoulder) missed practice Thursday. Peterson should be able to play through the shoulder injury.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) took limited practice reps Thursday.

Redskins RB Chris Thompson (rib) took full practice reps Thursday. Thompson is expected to return this week. He averaged 15.5 points per game in his four full games.

Dolphins WR Danny Amendola (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Amendola is likely out this week which would theoretically be a boost to DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills, but the Bills have a very stingy secondary, so fantasy points will be hard to come by.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Anderson should be able to play against the Titans.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Baldwin should be able to play through the groin injury again this week.

Vikings WR Chad Beebe (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Ravens WR John Brown (not injury related) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. He’s just getting a day of rest.

Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (knee) missed practice again Thursday.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark (quadricep) missed practice again Thursday.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. He was limited last week and ultimately sat out. Equanimeous St. Brown (elbow) took limited practice reps again Thursday. If both players miss, then it would thrust JMon Moore into a starter-type role.

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Coutee will likely play but his hamstring has been an issue all season.

Ravens WR Michael Crabtree (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Redskins WR Jamison Crowder (ankle) took limited practice reps Thursday.

Packers WR Trevor Davis (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs (knee) missed practice again Thursday. Diggs says he’s going to play in Week 13.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot) took full practice reps again Thursday. Edelman will be good to go to face the Vikings.

Lions WR Bruce Ellington (back) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Ellington should be able to play through the back injury again this week.

Bengals WR Alex Erickson (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. No worries here.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Garcon might be able to return this week.

49ers WR Marquise Goodwin (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday. Goodwin didn’t play in Week 12 for personal reasons, so we’ll see if he’s able to practice this week ahead of Sunday.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Green is expected to return this week. Green is expected to return this week but with a new quarterback, he’s not as safe of a play as he usually is.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (groin) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Hilton has to be downgraded this week on the road against a tough Jacksonville secondary. Jalen Ramsey was a DNP today, so if he’s out, Hilton will get a boost.

Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins (foot) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Hopkins should be fine to face the Browns.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Jackson didn’t catch the ball at practice and is wearing a cast on his thumb. He saw a specialist earlier this week so we consider him questionable for Sunday. If he’s out, it’s a boost for Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin.

Bengals WR Josh Malone (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Parker may see a few extra targets with Danny Amendola likely out.

Lions WR Brandon Powell (calf) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps.

Redskins WR Trey Quinn (ankle) took limited practice reps Thursday. Quinn has played 71% or more of the snaps in each of the last two weeks and has nine catches for 75 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets to show for it.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (ankle, elbow) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Ridley should be able to play against the Ravens.

Jets WR Andre Roberts (foot) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps.

Panthers WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Devin Funchess (back, not injury related) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Samuel should be good to go and is a Sneaky Start if Devin Funchess is out another week.

Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (heel) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps. This is a midweek downgrade but we’ll wait to see what he’s able to do on Friday before downgrading him in our rankings.

Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (ankle) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday. Sharpe should be fine to face the Jets.

Panthers WR Torrey Smith (knee) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday.

Titans WR Taywan Taylor (foot) took full practice reps again Thursday. It looks like Taylor may be able to return this week.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (calf) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Thielen will be out there against the Patriots.

Texans WR Demaryius Thomas (wrist) took full practice reps again Thursday. Thomas should be fine to face the Browns.

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot) missed practice again Thursday. Watkins looks pretty iffy for a return this week. Chris Conley will get a boost against the Raiders. He had a great game against the Rams before the bye.

Cardinals WR Chad Williams (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Chargers WR Tyrell Williams (quadricep) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Williams barely played last week so we believe Mike Williams is the better play this week against the Steelers.

Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox (calf) missed practice again Thursday.

Patriots TE Dwayne Allen (knee) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice.

Bills TE Charles Clay (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Clay is hoping to return this week to face his old team.

Dolphins TE A.J. Derby (foot, knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Browns TE Seth DeValve (calf) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Colts TE Eric Ebron (back) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Ebron’s return puts him on track to play against the Jaguars.

Giants TE Evan Engram (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Engram says he’s optimistic he’ll play, but since he was a post-inactives scratch last week, we’re skeptical. If he can’t play, Rhett Ellison would be a decent desperation start.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (not injury related) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday.

Packers TE Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice. Graham should be able to play through the thumb injury again this week.

Steelers TE Xavier Grimble (concussion) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back) was added to the injury report Thursday after taking limited practice reps. This is probably nothing to worry about but we’ll see what Gronk is able to do on Friday.

Colts TE Ryan Hewitt (ankle) took limited practice reps again Thursday.

Panthers TE Chris Manhertz (ankle) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice.

Steelers TE Vance McDonald (hip) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. This indicates that he is feeling better and should be able to play against the Chargers.

Vikings TE David Morgan (knee) missed practice again Thursday.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Njoku is coming off of a strong game and should be fine to face the Texans.

Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) returned to full practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday. Olsen will be fine to face the Bucs. It’s a great matchup, but he hasn’t cracked 40 yards since Week 9, his last matchup with the Bucs.

Cardinals TE John Phillips (knee) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (back) took limited practice reps Thursday. Reed should be fine to face the Eagles on Monday night.

Falcons K Matt Bryant (back) missed practice again Thursday. Bryant looks iffy for Sunday.

Bills QB Derek Anderson (concussion) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right wrist) practiced fully Wednesday. He was benched for Cody Kessler.

Patriots QB Tom Brady (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Brady will be fine to face the Vikings.

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Darnold might be able to return this week.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco (hip) did not practice Wednesday. Lamar Jackson is expected to start again this week. He’s a nice play against the Falcons.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (abdomen) practiced fully Wednesday. Mariota will be out there against the Jets. In three non-injury games since his Week 8 bye, Mariota has posted 240/2 against the Cowboys, 228/2 against the Patriots and 303/2 against the Texans while adding 77 total rushing yards and a touchdown as a runner. This works out to a 22.3-point average, though he was putting up a stinker against the Colts in Week 11 before being knocked out of the game just after a half.

Jets QB Josh McCown (back, right hand) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Newton should be fine for a great matchup against the Bucs.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday.

Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill (right shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.

Bears QB Mitch Trubisky (right shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Trubisky seems doubtful for Week 13, but this is a good start to the week.

Buccaneers RB Peyton Barber (ankle, shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday. Barber should be fine to face the Panthers. He has had two good fantasy lines in a row.

Lions RB Nick Bellore (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Texans RB Alfred Blue (thigh) practiced fully Wednesday.

Jets RB Trenton Cannon (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Packers RB Tra Carson (rib) did not practice Wednesday.

He has been targeted on 20.5% of Ryan Tannehill’s targets this season and has averaged 13.9 fantasy points in Tannehill’s six games.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Alex Collins (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Edwards did miss the Ravens’ final drive against the Raiders, so perhaps there’s something to this. Collins is also dealing with a foot injury, so if they’re both out Ty Montgomery would be a Sneaky Start, though Javorius Allen would also be involved.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (neck) practiced fully Wednesday. Melvin Gordon (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Gordon is out for a few weeks. Ekeler should lead the backfield in touches but Justin Jackson will be involved as well. We view Ekeler as a high-end RB2 against the Steelers this week.

Titans RB David Fluellen (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Lions RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) did not practice Wednesday. It looks like Johnson may miss another week. LeGarrette Blount came up big against the Bears last week and would be a decent start against the Rams.

Colts RB Marlon Mack (concussion) did not practice Wednesday. Mack will have to get cleared by Sunday. If he can’t play Nyheim Hines was playing ahead of Jordan Wilkins last week and would be the favorite to lead the backfield in touches if Mack has to sit.

Dolphins WR Danny Amendola (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Anderson played through the injury last week (71% of the snaps, right on his season average) but only caught two passes for 22 yards on five targets. He has a pretty good matchup against Adoree’ Jackson if he’s able to play.

Cowboys WR Tavon Austin (groin, out) did not practice Wednesday.

Vikings WR Chad Beebe (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark (quadricep) did not practice Wednesday.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Cobb could return this week, but he was limited all last week and ultimately sat again.

Ravens WR Michael Crabtree (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday.

Packers WR Trevor Davis (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Diggs finished the game in Week 12, so this is probably a day of rest.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot) practiced fully Wednesday. Edelman is good to go.

Lions WR Bruce Ellington (back) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Jets WR Quincy Enunwa (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Enunwa should continue to play through his ankle injury.

Bengals WR Alex Erickson (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday.

Panthers WR Devin Funchess (back, not injury related) did not practice Wednesday. If Funchess remains out D.J. Moore will be a strong start and Curtis Samuel will be worth consideration as well.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Green expects to make his return this week. He’ll be dealing with a new quarterback since Andy Dalton is out for the year.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Hilton finished the game against the Dolphins, so he’s probably just getting a day off.

Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins (foot) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Hopkins should be fine to play through the injury.

Cowboys WR Allen Hurns (thumb) practiced fully Wednesday.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Jackson saw a specialist this week but it looks like he’s going to to play through the injury. If he can’t play, it would be a big boost to both Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin.

Bengals WR Josh Malone (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Parker should play again in Week 13, but isn’t much of an option against a good Buffalo secondary.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley (ankle, elbow) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Ridley should be able to play through the two injuries.

Panthers WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Samuel will be a Sneaky Start assuming he’s healthy to play and Devin Funchess remains out. He has scored four touchdowns in his last four games and played 92% of the snaps with Funchess out in Week 12.

Titans WR Tajae Sharpe (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Panthers WR Torrey Smith (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Saints WR TreQuan Smith (toe) practiced fully Wednesday. Smith is all set to play against the Cowboys. He typically plays well at home, but AT&T Stadium is basically an indoor environment, which does help his outlook.

Packers WR Equanimeous St. Brown (elbow) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Titans WR Taywan Taylor (foot) practiced fully Wednesday. Taylor seems to be on track to return this week.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (calf) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Thielen should be fine to play through the calf injury.

Texans WR Demaryius Thomas (wrist) practiced fully Wednesday. Thomas is good to go to face the Browns. His involvement in the Houston offense has been up and down, but he’s coming off of a two-touchdown game against the Titans.

Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Watkins was active against the Rams before the by but barely played. We expect this is an extra day of rest and that he’ll be out there in Week 13.

Cardinals WR Chad Williams (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Chargers WR Tyrell Williams (quadricep) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Williams barely played in Week 12, so we’re higher on Mike Williams’ outlook for Week 13.

Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

Patriots TE Dwayne Allen (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Saints TE Dan Arnold (chest) practiced fully Wednesday.

Bills TE Charles Clay (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Dolphins TE A.J. Derby (foot, knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Browns TE Seth DeValve (calf) practiced fully Wednesday.

Colts TE Eric Ebron (back) did not practice Wednesday. Ebron is probably just getting a maintenance day.

Giants TE Evan Engram (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Engram says he’s optimistic he’ll play, but since he was a post-inactives scratch last week, we’re skeptical. If he can’t play, Rhett Ellison would be a decent desperation start.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (not injury related) did not practice Wednesday.

Packers TE Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) did not practice Wednesday. Graham should be able to play through the thumb injury again this week.

Steelers TE Xavier Grimble (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday.

Colts TE Ryan Hewitt (ankle) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Panthers TE Chris Manhertz (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Vikings TE David Morgan (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday. Njoku had one of his best games of the year in Week 12, catching five passes for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals.

Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Olsen should be able to play after playing on 58 of 59 snaps in Week 12.

Cardinals TE John Phillips (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Lions TE Michael Roberts (shoulder) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Bears TE Adam Shaheen (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday.

Cowboys TE Geoff Swaim (wrist, out) did not practice Wednesday.

Colts TE Erik Swoope (knee) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Texans TE Jordan Thomas (hamstring) took limited practice reps Wednesday.

Jets TE Eric Tomlinson (elbow) practiced fully Wednesday.

Falcons K Matt Bryant (back) did not practice Wednesday.

Saints K Wil Lutz (back) practiced fully Wednesday.

Bills QB Josh Allen (right elbow) took full practice reps all week. He’s expected to start against the Jaguars.

Bills QB Derek Anderson (concussion, out) took limited practice reps all week and is out for Week 12.

Patriots QB Tom Brady (knee, questionable) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is questionable for Week 12. Brady should be fine to face the Jets, though this is something to monitor. His numbers are better when Rob Gronkowski is in the lineup.

Jets QB Sam Darnold (foot, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12. Darnold isn’t going to play, so Josh McCown is going to get another start. He didn’t look good against the Bills, but should find more success against the Patriots.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco (hip, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12. Lamar Jackson will draw another start. He’s a Sneaky Start in a great matchup against Oakland.

Titans QB Marcus Mariota (neck) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Mariota is expected to play Monday night.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. No worries here.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) took full practice reps all week. Rodgers is good to go for a tough matchup against the Vikings

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. Roethlisberger will be fine to face the Broncos.

Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill (right shoulder) took limited practice reps all week. Tannehill was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go for a date with the Colts.

Buccaneers RB Peyton Barber (ankle, shoulder) took full practice reps all week. Barber has a good matchup against the 49ers, but Ronald Jones is expected to return which could put a dent in Barber’s touches.

Packers RB Tra Carson (rib, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 12.

Ravens RB Alex Collins (foot, questionable) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday and is questionable for Week 12. Collins may be able to play, but he’s not a dependable start after Gus Edwards took over as the feature back last week. The Ravens may rotate both backs into the game and then go with the hot hand.

Jets RB Isaiah Crowell (ankle) took full practice reps all week. Crowell will play against the Patriots but he had the same number of touches as Elijah McGuire (foot), who took full practice reps all week.

Seahawks RB Mike Davis (knee) took full practice reps Thursday after being limited Wednesday.

Dolphins RB Kenyan Drake (shoulder) took limited practice reps all week. Drake was removed from the injury report so he’s good to go to face the Colts. He may benefit from the return of Ryan Tannehill, since he was targeted on 19.7% of Tannehill’s passes before his injury.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (neck) took full practice reps again Friday. Ekeler was removed from the injury report so he’s going to play.

Titans RB David Fluellen (knee) missed practice again Friday.

Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 12. He's considered a game-time decision after a setback with his hamstring injury. The Chargers play late so owners will need to be on their toes. Austin Ekeler would be a plug-and-play RB2 if Gordon can't go.

Dolphins RB Frank Gore (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday.

Bills RB Chris Ivory (shoulder) took full practice reps all week. Ivory’s return means that LeSean McCoy’s touches will be under pressure against the Jaguars.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (hamstring, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Jones should return this week and we’re worried about what that means for Peyton Barber’s heavy workload.

Raiders RB Doug Martin (ankle) took limited practice reps all week. Martin will be available to play against the Ravens, though his role is up in the air after giving way to Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington last week.

Patriots RB Sony Michel (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Michel played before the team’s bye, so he’s expected to be out there against the Jets.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Bengals RB Mark Walton (illness) took full practice reps again Friday.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (finger) took full practice reps all week. Allen will be fine to face the Cardinals. Since he plays mostly in the slot, he should avoid Patrick Peterson for most of Sunday’s game.

Dolphins WR Danny Amendola (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Amendola should be able to play through the hamstring injury.

Jets WR Robby Anderson (ankle, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 12. The return to Friday’s practice gives Anderson a shot to play on Sunday. He and Josh McCown showed a nice rapport last season, so he’s an interesting WR4 dart throw.

Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (groin, questionable) missed practice again Thursday and is questionable for Week 12. He did some running on Friday, apparently. Baldwin is being called a game-time decision by head coach Pete Carroll. He apparently suffered a setback with his groin injury. Fortunately, the Seahawks play early (at Carolina) this week so owners should know whether he’ll play early on Sunday.

Vikings WR Chad Beebe (hamstring, out) missed practice again Friday and is out for Week 12.

Ravens WR John Brown (not injury related) returned to take full practice reps Friday after missing practice Thursday. Brown was just getting a day off. His outlook has changed considerably since Lamar Jackson has taken over at quarterback, but he’s still capable of catching a deep ball or two.

Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark (quadricep, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12. Keelan Cole should return to heavy snaps with Chark out.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Cobb may be able to return this week. If he can, it would push Marquez Valdes-Scantling outside where he’s been more effective this season.

Texans WR Keke Coutee (hamstring) took limited practice reps again Friday. Coutee should be able to play against the Titans, and he was listed as the No. 1 WR in Josh Hermsmeyer’s Buy-Low Model for Week 12.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking full practice reps Thursday. Edelman is good to go, but keep in mind that his per game averages take a dip when Rob Gronkowski is active. He’s been productive this year with Gronk in the lineup, however.

Jets WR Quincy Enunwa (ankle) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Enunwa should be fine to face the Patriots.

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday. No worries here.

Panthers WR Devin Funchess (back, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 12. D.J. Moore should see plenty of work against the Seahawks.

49ers WR Pierre Garcon (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) took full practice reps all week. Godwin should continue to play through his ankle injury.

Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant (achilles, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 12. The questionable tag represents an upgrade for Green, but he’ll need to be evaluated on Saturday before he’ll be cleared to play.

Broncos WR DaeSean Hamilton (knee) took full practice reps again Friday.

Raiders WR Dwayne Harris (foot) took full practice reps all week.

Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins (foot) took limited practice reps again Friday. Hopkins should be fine to face the Titans on Monday night.

Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson (thumb, questionable) took full practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 12. Jackson should be able to play through his thumb injury, though he has been far more productive in games in which Jameis Winston did not play.

Bengals WR Josh Malone (hamstring, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Raiders WR Jordy Nelson (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Nelson may return this week. The Raiders are severely short-handed at the receiver position but he’s not a recommended start against the Ravens.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Parker should be able to play through the shoulder injury.

Panthers WR Torrey Smith (knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Smith is tentatively expected to make his return this week, which is good news since Devin Funchess is going to miss the game. D.J. Moore and Greg Olsen are the two safest plays in this passing attack.

Titans WR Taywan Taylor (foot) took limited practice reps again Friday.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (calf, back) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Thielen wasn’t listed on the team’s injury report so he’ll be fine to play on Sunday night.

Cardinals WR Chad Williams (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Chargers WR Tyrell Williams (quadricep, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 12. Williams should be able to play through the quad injury. If he can’t go, it would give Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin a bump.

Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox (calf, questionable) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is questionable for Week 12.

Patriots TE Dwayne Allen (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Bills TE Charles Clay (hamstring, doubtful) missed practice all week and is doubtful for Week 12.

Dolphins TE A.J. Derby (foot, knee, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12.

Browns TE Seth DeValve (calf) took full practice reps Friday.

Chargers TE Antonio Gates (not injury related) took full practice reps again Friday.

Packers TE Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb, questionable) took limited practice reps again Friday and is questionable for Week 12. Graham “looked good” per Mike McCarthy and it looks like he’ll be able to play against the Vikings.

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (ankle, back, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 12. Gronk says he’s going to play against the Jets. While he’s had a disappointing season by his standards, he’s still averaging 4.1 catches for 64 yards on 6.1 targets per game, which are good numbers for a tight end.

Colts TE Ryan Hewitt (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Vikings TE David Morgan (knee, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 12.

Browns TE David Njoku (knee, questionable) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 12. Njoku should be able to play through his knee injury, but he hasn’t been very involved in the offense since new OC Freddie Kitchens took over.

Panthers TE Greg Olsen (not injury related, foot) took full practice reps again Friday. Olsen is a good start against the Seahawks.
