Bowles says Chris Godwin is trending on playing Sunday vs. Rams.

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard

Great news for fantasy managers, but we'd try to wait on starting him for another week, wherever possible. He could potentially be on a type of "snap count", which would keep him closer to the WR3/4 fringe than his typical WR2 role. He should be a much better Flex play moving forward.

Andy Reid said everyone did practice today, but Isiah Pacheco (right knee) is going to be out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

"It wasn't a setback," Andy Reid said "I think he's coming out pretty good. I think that's a plus."

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith

Outside of a few dumpoffs to Smith, Hunt basically has the bellcow role when Pacheco is out, though he doesn't quite have the explosiveness to register close to an RB1 anymore. He's still useful as a top-30 option this weekend, though.

The Bengals activated TE Mike Gesicki to the active roster from IR, while signing DE Isaiah Foskey off the practice squad to the active roster. In addition, CB Cam Taylor-Britt was placed on IR.

Related Players: Tee Higgins, Noah Fant

With Ja'Marr Chase suspended for Week 12, we could see some legit fantasy usage for Gesicki, who is much closer to a slot receiver than a traditional tight end. Consider him a desperation streaming option, best left for deep leagues.

Bucs HC Todd Bowles told reporters that RB Bucky Irving is out for Sunday night’s game in L.A., but the team is targeting his return in Week 13 against Arizona.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Sean Tucker

Tucker took over a much larger share of the rushing role last week, but White and a tough Rams matchup squeezed the upside for both backs. Consider each of them in the RB3 range.

Dan Campbell confirms Lions TE Sam LaPorta had a surgery on his back, chances of him returning this year are “very, very slim”

Related Players: Brock Wright

Miserable news for one of the league's best tight ends. It's unlikely that Brock Wright delivers much outside of a random touchdown or two for the rest of the season, so it'd be best to leave him on waivers.

Jaxson Dart has not yet cleared the concussion protocol yet, per coach Mike Kafka.

He will not play Sunday vs. Lions.

Related Players: Jameis Winston

This is a bummer for QB streaming hopefuls. Winston still has a decent matchup against the Lions defense, but doesn't provide the type of rushing upside Dart would have. Consider Winston more in the QB15-20 range.

Marvin Harrison Jr, Emari Demercado, Baron Browning will not play in #JAXvsAZ, per Gannon.

Also, Jonah Williams will be placed on IR.

Related Players: Zonovan Knight, Michael Carter, Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver

Knight looks like he's in position to be the main ball-carrier for at least one more week, as a potential Trey Benson return could be on the horizon. Consider him around the RB2/3 fringe in Week 12.

Wilson was the obvious beneficiary in the pass-catching part of the offense, turning 18 (!!) Week 11 targets into a massive 15-185-0 stat line. It would be hard to fade him after that performance, and he could be a legit WR2 in Week 12 as Jacoby Brissett continues to sling the ball around the field.

Bills WR Keon Coleman is, once again, officially inactive for tonight's game against the Texans.

Related Players: Khalil Shakir, Tyrell Shavers, Joshua Palmer

Coleman, who is, for all intents and purposes an NFL player, will hang out on the sideline for the second week in a row. This sets up well for a big Shakir game, but so did last week, and he turned three targets into -3 yards. It's fine to go back to the well here if you consider him in the fringe WR3/4 range, but it would be hard to trust anyone behind him. Knox is somewhere in the TE20 range with Dalton Kincaid out.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco and WR Xavier Worthy were listed as limited participants in today’s practice.

Related Players: Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith, Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, Tyquan Thornton

Each player still has some time, but as it stands, Hunt would be a fringe RB2/3 option and Smith would operate as an RB4 candidate were Pacheco to miss again.

Rashee Rice is an obvious WR1 regardless, but Brown could sneak into WR4 consideration in a good matchup, should Worthy miss the game.

Colts QB Daniel Jones was limited with a calf injury after having no injury status yesterday. Something to watch.

Related Players: Riley Leonard

With Anthony Richardson a distant memory, Leonard would be the most likely option for a spot start if Jones were to miss Week 12. This would be a pretty large downgrade to the receiving room, but there is still time left for Jones to make a recovery.
