Buccaneers WR Arrelious Benn (shoulder) did not practic...

It didn’t take veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks long to find his new team.

The Bills announced today that they have signed Cooks, a day after he cleared waivers.

Cooks negotiated with the Saints to gain his release, and the Bills were one of three teams people around the league identified as his potential destination (the Rams and Broncos were the other two), the story went on to say. The Bills are hoping the signing of Cook can give QB Josh Allen some needed help at the WR position as we head down the stretch of the regular season. While roster spots are tough to come by, Cooks could have some fantasy value eventually, and could be worth a stash, especially in deeper leagues.

When asked whether Jayden Reed could play Thursday given the lack of practice time since his window opened last Friday, LaFleur said: "You never know... You'll find out Thursday."

Of course, fantasy owners will find out about an hour and a half before the kickoff. We'll hopefully have a better idea by Wednesday's practice report. Reed was limited last week and again today so there could be a chance he's able to log some snaps on Thanksgiving. He would be a risky fantasy play without a full workload.

Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton is on his way back to the lineup.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters on Tuesday that the team will designate Hampton for return from injured reserve. Hampton has been out since suffering an ankle injury in Week 5.

Hampton will be able to practice for the next 21 days and can be activated at any point in that window. The Chargers will play the Raiders this Sunday. This will be worth monitoring for Hampton fantasy owners to see if he'll be back this week. If the full window is used, he would return for Week 16. It's possible if he returns this week, he'll split the work with Vidal, but could at least be a flex option in a nice matchup.
