Week 13 Fantasy Football Practice News & Notes for Friday

Dec 01, 2017

49ers QB C.J. Beathard (knee, hip) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.

Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (right wrist) took full practice reps all week. Bortles is never a confident start, but given the matchup, he’s certainly playable in Week 13. The Colts are No. 17 in QB aFPA, and have yielded the highest yards per attempt (8.2) and the third-most passing yards (266 per game) on the year. In 2017, Bortles has averaged 248 yards and 1.6 touchdowns in five home games versus just 167/0.67 on the road.

Patriots QB Tom Brady (achilles) was removed from the injury report Friday after taking limited practice reps Thursday. No worries here.

Broncos QB Paxton Lynch (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13.

Jets QB Josh McCown (left wrist) took full practice reps all week. He’s going to play. In six 2017 home games, McCown has averaged 255 yards and 1.5 touchdowns while only throwing 0.5 interceptions. The Chiefs are No. 23 in QB aFPA and have been pretty mediocre against the pass all year. McCown is coming off a 307-yard, 3-touchdown effort against the Panthers, and he’s accounted for 16 total touchdowns in his last seven games.

Dolphins QB Matt Moore (foot, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 13. Jay Cutler will start Week 13, which is good news for DeVante Parker.

Panthers QB Cam Newton (right thumb, right shoulder) took full practice reps on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. Newton is fully expected to play against the Saints.

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (ankle) took full practice reps all week. Stafford will be out there for a tough matchup in Baltimore.

Cardinals QB Drew Stanton (knee) took full practice reps all week.

Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston (right shoulder, questionable) took full practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 13. He’s expected to play. In their last two meetings with competent quarterbacks, the Packers gave up 351 yards and 4 touchdowns to Ben Roethlisberger three weeks after yielding 361 yards and 3 touchdowns to Matthew Stafford. Even Mitchell Trubisky (297 yards and a touchdown) got into the act against Green Bay. Winston’s return is good news for Cameron Brate.
