  • Romeo Doubs WR | GB

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Concussion confirmed Sunday

    Doubs won't return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers due to a concussion, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Doubs drew a defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone in the middle of the third quarter that helped set up Josh Jacobs' (cramps) second TD of the contest, but the wide receiver was slow to get to his feet and eventually the sideline before he was ruled out. Doubs will finish Week 12 with three catches (on six targets) for 54 yards.

  • Josh Jacobs RB | GB

    Packers' Josh Jacobs: Departs due to cramping Sunday

    Jacobs is dealing with cramps during Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    After scoring his second touchdown of the contest with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter from one-yard out, Jacobs ran to the locker room and was deemed questionable to return shortly thereafter. Jacobs had 22 carries for 99 yards and the pair of end-zone visits at the time of his exit. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are the other running backs available on the Packers' game-day roster.

  • Rico Dowdle RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Rico Dowdle: Garners 98 total yards in win

    Dowdle rushed 19 times for 86 yards and brought in all three targets for 12 yards in the Cowboys' 34-26 win over the Commanders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Dowdle operated as the unquestioned lead back, as backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott logged only three carries. The former fittingly parlayed his second-highest carry total of the season into his second-highest rushing yardage tally, and he also extended his streak of multi-catch efforts to six games. Dowdle heads into a favorable Thanksgiving Day home matchup against the Giants with a secure grip on the top job in Dallas' ground attack.

  • Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Quiet in OT win

    Jefferson recorded two receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win against the Bears.

    Sam Darnold ripped through the Chicago secondary to record seven completions of at least 20 yards, making Jefferson's line even more disappointing. He did have a 40-yard touchdown nullified late in the fourth quarter by offensive pass interference on an apparent pick play. Jefferson has now failed to reach 100 receiving yards in three consecutive contests.

  • 49ers' Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles: Questionable to return

    Flannigan-Fowles (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Packers.

    Flannigan-Fowles got hurt in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. With Flannigan-Fowles sidelined, Dee Winters is now in at linebacker in his place.

  • 49ers' Jordan Elliott: Ruled out Sunday

    Elliot (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus Green Bay, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Elliott will not return to the game after suffering a concussion during the first half. In his absence, Kalia Davis and Evan Anderson should see increased playing time.

  • Tim Patrick WR | DET

    Lions' Tim Patrick: Gains 55 yards Sunday

    Patrick brought in all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts.

    Patrick saw a little extra work with Kalif Raymond (foot) exiting the contest in the second half. The 31-year-old Patrick was already operating as the Lions' third receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, so his role is unlikely to change much if Raymond is unable to go in Week 13. Patrick should be considered a deep-league fantasy option for Thursday's holiday matchup against the Bears.

  • Sam Darnold QB | MIN

    Vikings' Sam Darnold: Picks apart Bears with deep balls

    Darnold completed 22 of 34 passes for 330 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win against the Bears.

    Darnold crushed the Bears with deep pass attempts, as he tallied three completions of at least 40 yards and seven of at least 20. That led to his first 300-yard passing game of the season, though he was aided by overtime to get there. Darnold also tacked on passing scores from two and five yards away, marking his fourth multi-touchdown effort in six games since Minnesota's bye. After a brief shaky stretch, Darnold has returned to form as a solid fantasy contributor.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Only reception goes for 39 yards

    Pierce had one reception (on four targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.

    Pierce finished as the Colts' second-leading receiver in a game during which quarterback Anthony Richardson completed just 11 pass attempts. The 24-year-old Pierce did reach a new career high in single-season receiving yards (629) despite his one-catch performance. Pierce has played well overall given the murky QB situation in Indianapolis, keeping him in the conversation for deeper fantasy formats against the Patriots next Sunday.

  • Riley Moss CB | DEN

    Broncos' Riley Moss: Won't return Sunday

    Moss has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a knee injury, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Moss injured his knee late in the second quarter, and he will not return for the second half of Sunday's contest. Levi Wallace will remain as the Broncos' second outside corner across Patrick Surtain for the rest of the game.
