Deebo Samuel injures ankle in Week 14
Avoided a major injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 11 2022, 7:07 pm
|
#49ers WR Deebo Samuel is believed to have avoided a major injury, per source. It's his ankle, not his knee. Still evaluating to learn more. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Deebo was carted off after getting rolled up on against the Bucs. It sounds like he avoided a serious injury but it won't be shocking if he misses the next few weeks. San Francisco plays Thursday night in Week 15 at Seattle. Brandon Aiyuk would assume the No.1 receiving role if Deebo is out.

Tee Higgins plays one snap in Week 14
Wasn't on final injury report
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 11 2022, 2:57 pm
|
Bengals’ WR Tee Higgins has a right hamstring injury and his return today is questionable. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This situation will be discussed quite a bit among the fantasy community as Higgins was available but only played one snap due to coaches decision despite not being listed on the final injury report. He had two limited practices this week with a hamstring injury.

Leonard Fournettee expected to play
Foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 11 2022, 12:15 am
|
Buccaneers’ RB Leonard Fournette, who didn’t practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday due to a foot injury, is expected to play vs. the 49ers, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Fournette popped up on the injury report this week with a foot issue and missed practice on Friday. Assuming he's good to go, we'll likely see a similar committee approach with Rachaad White that we saw last week where Fournette played 60% of the snaps while White played 41%. Both had a similar amount of touches.

Saquon Barkley a true gametime decision
Neck injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 10 2022, 11:35 pm
|
Giants describe RB Saquon Barkley, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a neck injury, as a “legit 50-50” and want to see how he feels Sunday in pre-game warmups before deciding whether he will play vs. the Eagles, per sources. Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell are the backups. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Giants are going to take it right up until gametime with Barkley. If he doesn't go, we'll see a committee between Breida and Brightwell with both being risky Flex plays due to uncertain usage.

Trevor Lawrence expected to play Week 14
Toe injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 10 2022, 11:29 pm
|
Jaguars’ QB Trevor Lawrence, who missed most of practice last week and is listed as questionable for Sunday due to a toe injury, is expected to play vs. the Titans, per sources. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Lawrence got bent back awkwardly in last week's game against the Lions and ended up with a toe injury. We'll see how much that affects him today against Tennessee who is somewhat of a pass funnel. They've allowed six 300-yard passing games to quarterbacks this season.

J.K. Dobbins activated off IR
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 10 2022, 11:35 am
|
Ravens will activate RB J.K. Dobbins off IR and waive Mike Davis, sources tell @AdamSchefter and myself. (Jamison Hensley on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Dobbins was place on IR October 21st after having his knee scoped. He's only played in four games this year, but give give the Ravens running game a boost down the stretch. How much work he gets this week against the Steelers remains to be seen but he'll likely form a committee with Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.

Kenneth Walker, DeeJay Dallas miss practice, Questionable
Both Seattle RBs are gameday decisions
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 9 2022, 6:22 pm
|
Here's the Seahawks' final injury report, with today's practice participation. Pete Carroll said Ken Walker III and DeeJay Dallas will be game-day decisions. DK Metcalf, Ryan Neal and Will Dissly are listed as questionable but Carroll is expecting them to play Sunday vs. Carolina. (Brady Henderson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Pete Carroll labeling his injured running backs as gameday decisions seems a bit generous after both missed practice all week. Expect both of them to be out but we won't know for sure until late Saturday night or Sunday. Travis Homer could be the lead back for Seattle against the Panthers.

Mike Williams back in action for Week 14
Off the injury report
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 9 2022, 4:39 pm
|
WR Mike Williams (ankle) is off the injury report and expected to play Sunday vs. Dolphins. (Daniel Popper on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Williams has been battling a high ankle sprain ever since Week 8. He returned in Week 11 but only played one quarter before aggravating the injury. He'll give it a go again here in Week 14 against the Dolphins in the highest total (53.5) game of the week. Him being back in the lineup makes downgrades Josh Palmer to a Flex option.

Joe Mixon, Tee Higgins good to go for Week 14
Higgings popped up on Injury Report this week
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 9 2022, 3:20 pm
|
#Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the #Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Higgins popped up on the injury report this week with a hamstring issue and was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. Given he's off the injury report, he can be deployed as a WR2 against the Browns. We might see a little more work for Samaje Perine this week given how well he performed when Mixon was out, but Mixon should still be the lead back.

Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins not expected to play
Texans down their top two receivers for Week 14
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 8 2022, 5:17 pm
|
Texans injury report, not practicing Nico Collins, Brandin Cooks, Troy Hairston, Kurt Hinish, Derek Stingley Jr., with Ka'imi Fairbairn limited. Collins, Cooks, Stingley not expected to play. Hairston and Fairbairn expected to play. (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Texans are going to be struggling for playmakers at the wide receiver position this week. Expect Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore to get the bulk of the work but it's hard to get excited about their fantasy prospects going up against the Dallas defense.

Falcons make the switch at QB, Desmond Ridder to start
Rookie will start Week 15
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 8 2022, 10:38 am
|
It's done: Falcons rookie Desmond Ridder will make his NFL debut and start next week against the Saints, a source told
@TheAthletic. Ridder and veteran Marcus Mariota were informed of the decision this morning by coach Arthur Smith. (Jeff Schultz on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Arthur Smith indicated changes were coming after Atlanta's Week 13 loss to the Steelers. Mariota is currently the QB21 in fantasy points per game. We should see more emphasis on the pass game with Ridder at quarterback in Week 15. Will that translate into increased value for Drake London? We shall see.

Courtland Sutton not expected to play Week 14
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 7 2022, 2:07 pm
|
On WR Courtland Sutton’s hamstring injury Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said today “it’s not looking good right now” for Sutton to play Sunday against the Chiefs. (Jeff Legwold on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Sutton played 43% of the snaps last week against the Ravens before leaving with a hamstring injury. Expect to see him on the Inactive list this week. Jerry Jeudy, Kendall Hinton and Brandon Johnson should be the top three receivers for Russell Wilson against the Chiefs.

Mark Ingram out with MCL tear
Likely done for the season
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 7 2022, 12:12 pm
|
#Saints RB Mark Ingram suffered a slight tear of his MCL in the loss to the #Bucs, sources say, knocking him out indefinitely and likely ending his season. He’s out 4-6 weeks, but no surgery. With the regular season only being five more weeks, Ingram is almost certainly done. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Ingram had a significant role this past week, playing 42% of the snaps including a lot of passing downs. Will we see Alvin Kamara back in a workhorse role? The Saints are lacking in depth at the position so it's definitely a possibility when they come out of their bye in Week 15.
|

Davis Mills back in the starting lineup for Houston
Kyle Allen back to the bench
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 7 2022, 11:35 am
|
Lovie Smith: 'Davis (Mills) will start for us this week and we expect two weeks from watching from the sidelines to help.' (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Kyle Allen got two starts at quarterback for the Texans and threw 2 touchdowns and 4 INTs, averaging 213 yards. It's hard to get excited about Mills' fantasy prospects this week facing a Dallas defense that destroyed Matt Ryan and the Colts last Sunday night. Mills is a low-end QB2 in Week 14.

Baker Mayfield picked up by LA Rams
Waived by Carolina on Monday
By: Doug Orth | Dec 6 2022, 9:30 pm
|
Former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield was claimed on waivers today by the Los Angeles Rams, per league sources. The Rams now inherit the remaining $1.35 million on Mayfield’s contract. Mayfield is expected to fly to LA by tonight and could play Thursday night vs. the Raiders. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: While Mayfield could technically play Thursday, it is extremely unlikely he will do so. There is a much better chance he gets the nod at Green Bay in Week 15 if he can learn enough of the playbook. The move as a whole is an interesting one for the Rams, as Mayfield could be a reclamation project, a long-term backup to Matthew Stafford or a bridge quarterback if Stafford's neck injury ends up being one that threatens his career.

Darren Waller ready to return in Week 15?
Sidelined by hamstring injury since Week 5
By: Doug Orth | Dec 6 2022, 8:00 pm
|
There’s been much speculation about Darren Waller’s status in recent weeks. The Raiders haven’t said much and there’s even been talk that he could be out of the season. However, that is not the case. In an interview with Heavy Sports, Waller revealed that he’s recovered from his hamstring injury and is planning to be ready to play as soon as he’s eligible to.
“Yeah, I plan on playing this season,” Waller said when asked if he was ready to return. “If they tell me I’m playing this Thursday coming up, then I’m playing this Thursday coming up, so I have my first game back active from IR so I plan on playing it up and finishing strong.” (Heavy.com - Austin Boyd)
FFToday's Take: Waller is eligible to come off IR in time to play this Thursday against the Rams, but it does not sound as though HC Josh McDaniels has any interest in playing Waller without a full week of practice following such a long layoff. It has been a frustrating season for Waller and his fantasy managers, but the few managers who have survived this long without his services could be getting a big boost at a position that has been awful for fantasy purposes this season.

Courtland Sutton day-to-day
Dealing with hamstring injury; limited to 23 snaps in Week 13
By: Doug Orth | Dec 5 2022, 6:30 pm
|
Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said today WR Courtland Sutton is "day-to-day'' with a hamstring injury. (ESPN - Jeff Legwold)
FFToday's Take: Sutton entered Week 13 with at least seven targets, five catches and 66 yards in three post-bye games, so he was one of the few Broncos that was producing before Sunday's early exit. Fantasy managers will need to check his practice reports this week, but Legwold notes Jerry Jeudy missed two full games after he was given a "day-to-day" designation by HC Nathaniel Hackett. If Sutton sits against the Chiefs, Kendall Hinton figures to fill in, although he won't have a ton of upside. The primary beneficiary figures to be Greg Dulcich.

Joe Mixon should get cleared to practice soon
Missed last two games in concussion protocol
By: Doug Orth | Dec 5 2022, 6:20 pm
|
Zac says Joe Mixon has a chance to clear concussion protocol. (Bengals.com - Geoff Hobson)
FFToday's Take: Mixon was close enough to playing Sunday that the team kept the door open for him to clear protocol until early Sunday afternoon. Samaje Perine was very good while handling the overwhelming majority of volume in his absence. Mixon was limited in practice all of last week, so it would surprising if isn't a full-go by Wednesday or Thursday. He will be a solid RB1 option against the Browns in the likely event he plays, while Perine will be a back-end RB1 option if Mixon sits out a third straight contest.

Lamar Jackson likely to miss time
Suffered knee sprain in Week 13
By: Doug Orth | Dec 5 2022, 6:10 pm
|
Ravens’ HC John Harbaugh told reporters that QB Lamar Jackson will be “week to week” with his knee injury, with this week “being less likely.” (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Harbaugh noted it was "not impossible" that Jackson could play in Week 14, but it seems likely that he will be ruled out. Jackson has been a serviceable QB1 since he set the fantasy world on fire over the first three weeks of the season. Tyler Huntley will get the nod in Week 14 against the Steelers and should be able to hold the fort down for Jackson's fantasy managers while he is sidelined.

Panthers expected to release Baker Mayfield
Will be subject to waivers
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 5 2022, 10:41 am
|
Sources: The #Panthers are expected to release QB Baker Mayfield. He'll hit waivers when it's finalized later today. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Mayfield was traded by the Browns to Carolina this pre-season and quickly face-planted when the games started. Even though San Francisco has an obvious need at the position it's doubtful they would bring Mayfield in given how poorly he's played over the last couple of seasons. Given his relatively low remaining salary, it's possible he could be claimed on waivers in the next 24 hours.

It's a jammed ankle for Kenneth Walker
More tests today
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 5 2022, 9:31 am
|
#Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker will have tests today on what coach Pete Carroll called a "jammed" ankle. The injury -- the hope is it's not serious -- is different from a sprain because the joint jammed down and not one side or the other. Strange injury. Anyway, tests coming. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Walker only played 21% of the snaps before leaving with his ankle issue. Tony Jones and DeeJay Dallas picked up the slack. Travis Homer was Inactive. Walker was one of many injuries in Week 13 that caused headaches for fantasy owners.

Jimmy Garoppolo out for the year with broken foot
Brock Purdy expected to start at QB
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 4 2022, 7:51 pm
|
#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan tells reporters that QB Jimmy Garoppolo broke his foot. He’s having surgery and is out for the season.
“He’ll be out, he’ll need surgery, broke a few things in there.”
Brutal. (https://twitter.com/RapSheet/sta)
FFToday's Take: Just brutal for the 49ers who have now lost their top two quarterbacks this season. Trey Lance was injured Week 1 and now Garoppolo in Week 13. Brock Purdy came in and went 25 of 37, 210-2-1 with four carries for -1 yards. He will be the starter moving forward. Upcoming schedule for the 49ers includes TB, @SEA, WAS, @LV and ARI.

Josh Jacobs expected to play
Calf injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 4 2022, 11:58 am
|
Raiders’ RB Josh Jacobs, listed as questionable for today due to his calf injury, will play today vs. the Chargers, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Jacobs has been dealing with his calf injury for two weeks but is apparently going to play this week. The injury didn't hurt his production last week as he finished with a 33-229-2, 6-74-0 line. He's an RB1 in Week 13.
|
|
|
Deebo Samuel expected to play
Thigh bruise
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 4 2022, 6:37 am
|
49ers WR Deebo Samuel, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a deep thigh bruise, plans to play vs. Miami, per source. The 49ers didn’t think Samuel would be able to play until Friday, but he has made big improvements and, barring a pre-game setback, he plans to go today. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Deebo seemed iffy to play throughout the week getting in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday while missing on Thursday. It's safe to wonder if he will be a full-go in this game making him a risky WR2 against the Dolphins.

Joe Mixon remains in concussion protocol
Status for Week 13 uncertain
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 3 2022, 11:42 pm
|
Doctors still have not cleared Bengals’ RB Joe Mixon to play Sunday vs. the Chiefs, per source. Mixon remains in concussion protocol and would have to be cleared Sunday to play vs. the Chiefs. If Mixon cannot play, the Bengals would lean once again on RB Samaje Perine. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Players typically in the concussion protocol get cleared on Saturday but that didn't happen in Mixon's case. Ian Rapoport suggested that Mixon is a long-shot to play. The Bengals-Chiefs don't kick off until late afternoon so hopefully we get more clarity this morning.

 |
Antonio Gibson expected to play
Foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 3 2022, 11:15 pm
|
Washington RB Antonio Gibson, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a foot injury, is expected to play vs. the Giants despite limited practice work all week, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With Brian Robinson Jr. in the mix Gibson's fantasy outlook doesn't look great against the Giants but he is expected to be on the field. Gibson missed practice on Thursday but did get in limited sessions on Wednesday and Friday.
|
|
|
Brandin Cooks out with a calf injury
Injured in practice this week
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 2 2022, 4:18 pm
|
#Texans will lean on Nico Collins, Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore with Brandin Cooks out with a calf injury. Desmond King will line up again as an outside corner with Derek Stingley Jr. out for third game in a row with Tavierre Thomas operating as primary nickel. (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Cooks was added to the injury report yesterday and has now been ruled out. Nico Collins gets a slight bump in value but the Texans passing game has been so bad, he's only a Flex consideration.

Justin Fields off the injury report, will start
Trevor Siemian will undergo season-ending surgery
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 2 2022, 2:49 pm
|
Bears’ QB Justin Fields was a full participant in practice today for a second straight day and has no injury designation going into Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. Bears believe he’s good to go.
Bears’ HC Matt Eberflus told reporters that QB Trevor Siemian will undergo season-ending surgery to repair the oblique injury he suffered during pregame warmups last Sunday. Siemian played the game vs. the Jets with the injury that now will require surgery. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Fields will get the start against Green Bay. How much the shoulder bothers him during the game remains to be seen. Fields had been on a fantasy tear prior to his injury, rushing for at least 80 yards in his last three games. He has six rushing TDs in his last five games.

John Wolford will start at QB for the Rams
Bryce Perkins will be available as well
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 2 2022, 2:15 pm
|
John Wolford will start Sunday, per Sean McVay, and Bryce Perkins will be available as well. Sounds like Rams could use both. (Jourdan Rodrigue on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: A switch at quarterback isn't going to help the Rams much as they begin playing out the string of a lost season. Matthew Stafford has been ruled out. This team is off limits unless you want to take a stab at running back Kyren Williams.
|

David Njoku ruled Out for Week 13
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 2 2022, 12:38 pm
|
Browns have ruled out tight end David Njoku due to a knee injury for Sunday's game against the Texans (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Njoku picked up a knee injury in last week's game on top of a sprained ankle that he dealt with earlier in the season. In his absence, Harrison Bryant will slide back into the starter's role at tight end and be a low-upside dart throw at the position.
|
|
 |
Michael Carter listed as Doubtful
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 2 2022, 10:41 am
|
RB Michael Carter and RT Cedric Ogbuehi are listed as DOUBTFUL for Sunday, per Saleh. S Ashtyn Davis (hamstring) has been ruled out. #Jets (Rich Cimini on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Carter left last week's game with an ankle injury and the Doubtful tag means he'll likely be on the Inactive list on Sunday. That means we'll see more of Zonovan Knight, Ty Johnson and perhaps James Robinson who was a healthy inactive last week. Knight is the probably the most intriguing of the bunch from a fantasy perspective while Johnson could operate more on third downs.

Christian McCaffrey back at practice Thursday
Missed practice Wednesday
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 1 2022, 6:04 pm
|
Christian McCaffrey said he dodged a bullet with his knee issue, said he’ll play in full Sunday. “I feel great,” he said. (Matt Barrows on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: McCaffrey missed practice Wednesday with a knee injury but apparently is planning on playing this week against the Dolphins. Elijah Mitchell has been put on the shelf for at least the next six weeks, meaning McCaffrey should see around 20 touches in this game. We could see more of Deebo Samuel in the backfield this week as well.

Joe Mixon, Ja'Marr Chase limited on Thursday
Both trending towards playing Week 13
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 1 2022, 4:01 pm
|
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) and RB Joe Mixon (concussion) both remained limited at practice today. (Ben Baby on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Mixon still needs to clear the concussion protocol, which includes him practicing throughout the week without issues. Assuming that happens, he should be good to go for the matchup against the Chiefs. Chase is expected to play as well. We should get a read this weekend on any limitations that may be placed on Chase.
|
|
 |
Jaylen Warren expected to play in Week 13
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 30 2022, 2:09 pm
|
Steelers’ RB Jaylen Warren told reporters that doctors have cleared him to return from his hamstring injury and he expects to be able to play Sunday vs. the Falcons. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This is significant considering Najee Harris missed a good portion of last week's game with an abdominal injury. It's unclear at this time if Harris will be available against the Falcons. Warren would be a solid RB2 if Najee misses this week.
|
|
|
David Njoku dealing with new knee injury
Won't practice Wednesday
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 30 2022, 1:38 pm
|
#Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said TE David Njoku's knee injury is different than the one he missed practice time with last week. Will work through it this week, not ruling him out for Sunday vs. #Texans. (Scott Petrak on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Njoku played 81% of the snaps last week and would be great tight end play this week should he be active. We'll monitor practice reports and have a better idea of his status late Friday afternoon.

Josh Jacobs unlikely to practice all week
Played through calf strain and logged 39 touches in Week 12
By: Doug Orth | Nov 29 2022, 7:00 pm
|
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is not expected to practice much, if at all this week because of his calf strain, per sources. He’ll get around-the-clock treatment in hopes of playing Sunday against the Chargers. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: Jacobs initially suffered the injury during practice late last week and was listed as questionable, but that didn't keep Josh McDaniels from loading him up with 33 carries or Derek Carr from throwing it to him six more times in Week 12. The fact that Las Vegas is already certain it may hold him out of practice all week suggests he should be considered questionable at best for Week 13 against a soft Chargers' run defense. Jacobs has overall RB1 upside for that matchup if he can play, while rookie Zamir White would be in the RB1 conversation if Jacobs sits.

Damien Harris unlikely to play in Week 13
Suffered thigh injury on Thanksgiving night
By: Doug Orth | Nov 29 2022, 12:40 am
|
Patriots RB Damien Harris, who is dealing with a thigh injury, is not expected to play this Thursday, source said. He's considered week-to-week going forward, an indication he'll miss some time. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: In the two games Harris has already missed this season due to injury, Stevenson handled 23 touches in Week 6 and 18 in Week 9. If Harris is truly week-to-week, then Rhamondre Stevenson would be in line to assume another heavy workload and should be treated as a top-five option at his position until Harris returns. That includes Week 13 against the Bills.

Aaron Rodgers optimistic about playing Week 13
QB injured his ribs in Week 12
By: Doug Orth | Nov 29 2022, 12:00 am
|
Aaron Rodgers on the @PatMcAfeeShow show:
“I got good news with the scans yesterday, so I plan on playing this week. (ESPN - Rob Demovsky)
FFToday's Take: Rodgers is obviously at high risk for an in-game setback given the fact one hit to his upper body could cause him a great deal of pain. With that said, the Bears have been so bad defensively lately that the four-time MVP may be willing to take the risk - even with the Packers eyeing a bye in Week 14. For now, expect Rodgers to get the nod. Jordan Love will start if Green Bay's training staff edges on the side of caution.

Melvin Gordon likely to sign with Kansas City
Released by Denver last week
By: Doug Orth | Nov 28 2022, 5:30 pm
|
Two-time Pro Bowl RB Melvin Gordon is expected to sign with the #Chiefs practice squad, per source. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: In addition to being one team short of having the distinction of playing for all four AFC West rivals, Gordon joins a contending team that would prefer to have another rugged runner besides Isiah Pacheco and a more dynamic option than Jerick McKinnon. Gordon will start out on the practice squad but likely did not join the Chiefs with the idea he would be third on the depth chart. There is a decent chance Gordon emerges as a flex option before the fantasy season ends.

Ja'Marr Chase expected to play in Week 13
Hip injury has sidelined top WR since Week 7
By: Doug Orth | Nov 28 2022, 5:25 pm
|
The Bengals have won three in a row and reinforcements are on the way. Source says the plan is for star WR Ja’Marr Chase (hip) to return this week. He was close last week and is expected to go this week vs. the Chiefs. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Chase was reportedly close to being activated against the Titans in Week 12. The fact he was limited in practice all of last week suggests he could be a full participant at some point this week, but fantasy managers still need to keep their expectations in check until he proves he can play a full game. Consider him a high-risk WR2 for now with his usual WR1 upside.
