  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Clear for Thanksgiving

    Pickens (knee/calf) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Pickens opened the week as a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough due to knee and calf injuries, but he followed it up with Tuesday's limited practice and Wednesday's full walkthrough, which was enough for the Cowboys to clear him with a quick turnaround between games. Since the team's Week 10 bye, he's reeled off 18 catches (on 20 targets) for 290 yards and two touchdowns over the last two contests, making him an easy plug and play for fantasy purposes.

  • Curtis Samuel WR | BUF

    Bills' Curtis Samuel: Missing Wednesday's practice

    Samuel (elbow/neck) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    The 29-year-old missed the Bills' Week 12 loss to the Texans due to elbow and neck injuries, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he's still dealing with the issues. Samuel likely needs to practice in at least a limited capacity either Thursday or Friday in order to have a chance at returning for Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Considered doubtful for Week 13

    Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that London (knee) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    London didn't practice in any capacity ahead of being ruled out for Week 12, and he looks on track to miss a second consecutive game. The star wideout is nursing a PCL sprain suffered during Atlanta's overtime loss to the Panthers in Week 11. London will still have three opportunities to return to practice in some capacity before Atlanta has to assign him an official injury designation for Sunday's game against New York, but any recovery progress made could speak more to his chances of returning Week 14 versus the Seahawks.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Expected to play Thursday

    Pickens (knee/calf) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

    Pickens was a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough and turned in a limited session Tuesday, so while he could be officially tagged with an injury designation on Wednesday's practice report, expectations are that the the fourth-year pro will suit up Thanksgiving Day. That aligns with the confidence coach Brian Schottenheimer has expressed in Pickens' expected availability. He's coming off back-to-back performances with nine catches, over 140 yards and one touchdown, and Pickens hasn't been held below 50 receiving yards since Week 1.

  • Khadarel Hodge WR | ATL

    Falcons' KhaDarel Hodge: Not targeted in Week 12

    Hodge failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.

    Hodge was a nonfactor against the Saints, and the wideout has now been held without a catch in all but one game this season. The 31-year-old played just five of the Falcons' 56 offensive snaps Sunday, the fewest of any wide receiver who saw action on offense. Hodge remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 13 road matchup against the Jets.

  • David Sills WR | ATL

    Falcons' David Sills: Finds end zone in win

    Sills caught two of three targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.

    Sills' trip to the end zone was his first score of the season. The 29-year-old wideout played 39 of the Falcons' 56 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Atlanta wide receiver. Sills' increase in playing time was a result of Drake London (knee) missing the contest due to a PCL sprain in his left knee. If London is forced to miss more time, fantasy managers in deep leagues could consider Sills as an option in a Week 13 matchup against the Jets, though his minimal yardage on limited targets makes him extremely difficult to trust for meaningful fantasy production.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Blanked by Eagles

    Flournoy failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.

    Flournoy was a complete nonfactor in Week 13 after finding the end zone in back-to-back weeks. The 26-year-old wideout was held without a catch for the first time since Week 7 while playing 45 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps. With fellow wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens dominating the Cowboys' target share, Flournoy will continue to find it difficult to produce consistently, making him hard to trust for fantasy purposes. The Southeast Missouri State product will look to bounce back in Week 13 when the Cowboys host the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Limited at Tuesday's practice

    Bateman (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.

    Earlier Tuesday, head coach John Harbaugh had labeled Bateman as a full participant, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Ultimately, Bateman went down with a limited listing on the Ravens' official report, so while he appears to be trending toward playing Thursday against the Bengals, his status will still warrant tracking leading up to game day. The wide receiver has missed the team's last two contests while nursing the ankle injury.

  • Xavier Gipson WR | NYG

    Eagles' Xavier Gipson: Absent from practice Tuesday

    Gipson (shoulder) didn't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

    Gipson suffered a shoulder injury on a punt return late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Bears on Friday.

  • DeVonta Smith WR | PHI

    Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Absent from walkthrough

    Smith was listed as a non-participant at the Eagles' walkthrough session Tuesday due to chest and shoulder injuries.

    The wide receiver is nursing a pair of injuries after reeling in six of 11 targets for 89 yards while playing 95 percent of the Philadelphia's offensive snaps in the team's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys in Week 12. Smith will have two more chances to return to the practice field before Friday's matchup with the Bears.
