Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (hamstring, questionable)...

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy, who entered concussion protocol earlier this week, is not expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks, I’m told.

Related Players: Max Brosmer

McCarthy looks like he will conveniently miss the Sam Darnold-Vikings matchup, which will showcase what Minnesota could have had if they kept the veteran. Instead, we'll get a Max Brosmer start, who should be left on waiver wires wherever possible.

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.
