'Outside chance' Ravens TE Mark Andrews could return this season

Nov 20, 2023

The Ravens aren’t closing the door on the possibility of tight end Mark Andrews returning to the lineup this season.

Andrews suffered a cracked fibula along with damage to ankle ligaments.

“Nothing’s completely definitive yet,” Harbaugh said. “My understanding is, in talking with our trainer and the doctors, it wasn’t as bad as initially feared after the game. . . . It’s a little cleaner than they thought based on the MRI. He’s gonna be involved with Dr. Anderson down there in Carolina next few days. We’ll know more There might be an outside chance he could get back at some point in time. We’ll just have to see how that goes and I don’t want to say that’s definitive by any stretch, but there is some optimism.” The story went on to

The story went on to say Andrews is still out indefinitely and it wasn't specific about when a possible return could be. At this point, it's hard to believe Andrews would make it back for the current fantasy season, but it seems possible if the Ravens make a long playoff run, Andrews could join them at some point. Just in case, owners may not want to completely cut ties with Andrews just yet, and if you can stash him on an IR spot, that may be the best move. Those without IR spots may want to still hold him and feel out any more news. At this point of the fantasy season, roster spots are valuable, however.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
