Team news: Atlanta Falcons | Page 2

Former Ravens RB Gus Edwards reached an agreement on a two-year deal with the Chargers. Edwards now will be reuniting with former Ravens and current Chargers assistant Greg Roman.

Related Players: Isaiah Spiller, Elijah Dotson

Edwards should easily be considered the most talented back on the Chargers roster at this point, and would likely hold down that role regardless of the team's draft plans. L.A. has plenty of holes to fill, which should leave Edwards with nominal competition. He should be considered an RB3 as it stands.

Kirk Cousins, the top free-agent QB on the market, has agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons, per sources. The Vikings pushed strongly for Cousins’s services, but in the end, the Falcons were going to go as far as they needed to make this happen.

Cousins provides an immediate upgrade to the entire Atlanta Falcons offense, spiking the value of Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson. The quarterback should be his usual QB1/QB2 fringe fantasy option in his new home.

Regardless of who the Vikings end up with to replace him will be a downgrade, lowering the stock of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

Bears practice report:

DNP: Darnell Mooney, Cole Kmet
Limited: Lucas Patrick
Full: Teven Jenkins, Noah Sewell, Equanimeous St. Brown

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis, Robert Tonyan

Justin Fields' legs yet again saved a mediocre passing game last week, and it looks like he may have to do without some of his best weapons yet again. D.J. Moore should be peppered with targets upon his return, which will make him a safe WR2 for Championship Week.

No Trevor Lawrence (concussion protocol) or Zay Jones (hamstring) at Thursday’s Jaguars practice. Second consecutive day both players have missed.

All other players were present. Another day of starting reps for QB CJ Beathard.

Related Players: Calvin Ridley, Parker Washington, Jamal Agnew

Looks like it could be a Beathard week, who actually gets a great matchup against the Buccaneers this week, though it wouldn't look as decent if Zay Jones ends up missing. Calvin Ridley would get enough of a target boost to consider him a WR2, while Washington would be a FLEX option.

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Christian Kirk left the NFL Week 13 Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals at EverBank Stadium during the first quarter with a groin injury.

Related players: Zay Jones, Jamal Agnew, Tim Jones

Kirk entered Monday night's game leading the Jaguars this season with 761 receiving yards through 11 games. His status is certainly in doubt for Week 14, which is an early game at the Browns.

WR Tank Dell (calf) has returned to practice today after missing yesterday. DeMeco Ryans had been optimistic about Dell. A good sign. TE Dalton Schultz (hamstring) missed yesterday and isn't on the field today.

Related Players: Brevin Jordan, Teagan Quitoriano

Brevin Jordan is the only other tight end on the team with a receiving touchdown this year, but only has five other catches. He should get a boost in usage without Schultz but his workload is unlikely to be trustworthy enough to get him in a lineup.

49ers DNP: DT Arik Armstead (foot), RB Jordan Mason (hamstring), WR Ray-Ray McCloud (rib), T Trent Williams (resting player)

Eagles DNP: TE Grant Calcaterra (ankle), DT Fletcher Cox (groin), LB Zach Cunningham (hamstring), S Justin Evans (knee), TE Dallas Goedert (forearm)

Related Players: Jack Stoll

It doesn't look like Goedert is trending towards playing in Week 13, so he'll likely miss at least one more week with his forearm injury. Jack Stoll has technically seen an increased workload, but that has parlay into four targets and 17 yards over the last two weeks. Goedert will return to a top-ten TE role when eligible.

For a second straight day, 49ers’ WR Deebo Samuel was a full participant at practice and is on track to play Sunday at Jacksonville.

Related Players: Brandon Aiyuk, Ray-Ray McCloud, George Kittle

Looks like the bye week did Samuel some good, and if he's a full participant already, we should expect his normal workload upon his return. He has 397 yards and two all-purpose touchdowns through six games this season, and should be boosted back into WR2 consideration this week.

Falcons ruled out WR Drake London for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings due to his groin injury.

Related Players: Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge, Scott Miller, Mack Hollins

The Falcons' wide receiver position is a stay-away, with Van Jefferson being the only reasonable replacement, but that should be reserved for the deepest of fantasy leagues.
