Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.

Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is back at Chargers practice today.

Related Players: Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Derius Davis

McConkey looks like he will suit up, which puts him in a great spot as a fantasy WR2 against the Baltimore Ravens' secondary.

Brock Purdy is NOT practicing as 49ers final session underway in rain before flight to Green Bay.

Related Players: Brandon Allen, Joshua Dobbs

Other 49ers beat reporters had mentioned that Purdy "shut himself down" "mid-practice" on Thursday, which certainly can't be a good sign. All skill position players would take a step down if either Allen or Dobbs ends up playing this weekend, and either would be a QB streaming option for Superflex leagues.

#Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the #Colts.

Related Players: Brock Wright

LaPorta looks like he'll be a full-go for Week 12, and he gets a Colts defense that ranks 30th in TE aFPA. He should be considered above streaming options as a TE1.

Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) will also be OUT vs Broncos. "[Ameer] Abdullah will be the starter," said LV coach Antonio Pierce

Related Players: Dylan Laube, Sincere McCormick

This is a stay-away situation for any manager who isn't *deeply* desperate this week, as the Raiders play a very good Broncos defense. Ameer Abdullah is an RB3 at best in Week 12.

Rookie WR Malik Nabers is questionable for Sunday.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Theo Johnson, Tyrone Tracy

Nabers missing this weekend would put a cherry on top of a wild week for the Giants. Tommy DeVito would operate with Robinson as his WR1, which makes him a volume-based target, particularly in PPR leagues, along with Tracy taking more underneath opportunities.

A separate report *did* mention that Nabers plans to play despite the designation, so don't panic quite yet.

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
