Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. underwent surgery for appendicitis and is out for at least this week and possibly longer.

Related Players: Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver

With no MHJ, the Cardinals receiver room drops to Titans-level in terms of avoidance. Wilson should probably operate as the target leader, but that still only puts him in WR4 territory. Jacoby Brissett is also dinged down and is a fringe streaming option.

Terry McLaurin began to do some light on-field work today recovering from quad injury. He won’t play this week.

RB Chris Rodriguez (shoulder) will play Sunday vs. Dolphins and have key role. DT Johnny Newton set to start for suspended Daron Payne.

Related Players: Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jeremy McNichols, Deebo Samuel, Jaylin Lane, Robbie Chosen,

Both Croskey-Merritt and McNichols' respective ceilings take a big hit here, as Rodriguez has been seeing more work as of late, notably around the goal line.

As for the receiving room, the Commanders will be forced to roll out quite the uninspiring group once again, as Deebo is the only fantasy-viable option.

Related Players: Jaxson Dart, Russell Wilson

With Brian Daboll out the door, it looks as though the team will take it easy on Dart to give him a chance to rest up from his apparent Week 10 concussion. Winston is always intriguing for fantasy purposes, but he doesn't have much to throw to. Consider him a QB2 with nominal SuperFlex value.

Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday’s practice.

Henderson was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. Stevenson (toe) and Jennings (knee) remained limited for a second consecutive day.

Broncos I'm told are considering what to do with running back J.K. Dobbins and his foot injury. I was told placing him on injured reserve is being considered.

Related players: RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie, Jaleel McLaughlin

It would be a big loss for Broncos as Dobbins is the primary ball carrier with Harvey doing most of his damage in the passing game. Harvey has had seven games this season averaging 3.0 yards or less per carry. In those same games, he's had five carries or less. However, Harvey would likely be in line to see an increased workload. The good news is he's had three games averaging over 4.0 yards per carry. Badie would be next up, and would be worth a pickup in just about any fantasy format.

Jaguars star CB/WR Travis Hunter underwent season-ending knee surgery, with eyes set on 2026. It was an LCL repair.

He’s expected to return within 6 months to full football activities, the post went on to say. Hunter was already on IR after the injury. The Jags will hope for the return BTJ from an ankle injury to go along with newly-acquired Meyers as well as Washington. The move for Meyers makes a lot more sense now for the Jags.

Joe Burrow didn't want to reveal too much about when he could be playing for the Cincinnati Bengals again this season, but he does have a potential target date in mind.

Burrow said Monday that it will be very meaningful if he can return from a turf toe injury on his left foot for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 27. Two years ago, Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury during a November prime-time game at M&T Bank Stadium that was also on a Thursday night.

Burrow's window is officially open as of yesterday and we reported the 21 days would take him to Week 14's game, which is an early December game. December looked to be his target return since the injury so the news of his new target date is encouraging. The story said Burrow didn't rule out the notion that the team's overall record will factor into that decision. Cincinnati (3-6) has lost five of its six games since Burrow suffered the toe injury during a Week 2 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski at least opened the door a crack that quarterback Deshaun Watson could be designated for return to practice this week.

Stefanski was asked on a Nov. 10 Zoom call about the possibility of Watson's 21-day practice window being opened this week, and his response was, "I'm not sure if that's what we're doing." Previously when he's been asked that question, including last week, he's answered with a definitive "no."

The story added Watson has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp recovering from an Achilles injury and he's been involved in meetings and other behind-the-scenes aspects of the team, but hasn't been cleared to begin practicing. Watson had surgery in both October of last year and this past January. Watson's injury happened on Oct. 7 of last season and the story went on to say it was expected to be a seven- to eight-month recovery before being reset by the second surgery in January. The story added Browns have refused to get pinned down to a firm timetable for his return and that Watson's been out of a walking boot for several months.

Romeo Doubs was questionable to return to Monday's game against the Eagles due to a chest injury, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Doubs didn't return to the game. The story said Doubs was holding his chest following a Packers possession in the fourth quarter and was later spotted walking into the locker room. The severity of the injury was still unclear as of early Tuesday, but we'll update as we know more. The Packers are banged up in the pass-catching department, including WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft who are both on IR. Matthew Golden didn't play on Monday night either. It left Watson and Wicks as the top-two WRs.

Veteran Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones will miss the rest of the season after tearing his left Achilles in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, coach Jonathan Gannon announced Monday.

The injury occurred late in the second quarter on a second-and-3 pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett to Jones in the back of the end zone.

Jones' two-year tenure with the Cardinals has been rocky. He missed the first six games last season, the first five for a suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and one because of an injury. Before the Cardinals bye week, Jones jumped back on the fantasy radar with two fairly productive games, but over the last two weeks after the bye had just one target before getting injured.
