Packers RB Marshawn Lloyd comes off IR

Nov 18, 2024

Packers running back Marshawn Lloyd came down with appendicitis last week after the club opened his 21-day practice window.

Green Bay has now made a roster move with him, activating him off of injured reserve.

Related players: Josh Jacobs, Emanuel Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

The story said that does not mean Lloyd, a rookie third-round pick, is going to be ready to play soon. He could be placed on the non-football injury list to recover from his appendectomy. Head coach Matt LaFleur has not given a timetable for Lloyd’s potential return, according to the story added.

Jaguars WR Gabe Davis dealing with torn meniscus

Forgotten moment from yesterday in the aftermath of the worst loss in franchise history: Jaguars WR Gabe Davis left the locker room on crutches with his left leg in a brace. Suffered a knee injury during the game against Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

UPDATE: It's been reported Davis has a torn meniscus. It hasn't yet been determined if Davis will need a trim or a full repair, according to reports. Pro Football Talk reports Davis would be done for the season needing a full repair. However, with the Jags at 2-9 and coming off a horrible loss to the Lions, there is really no need to bring Davis back. It looks like Thomas will remain the team's top target at WR but with Kirk and Davis now potentially done for the year, Washington moves up the depth chart.

Giants bench QB Daniel Jones

Pro Football Talk

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that the team would use its bye week to evaluate all options at quarterback and they’ve reportedly made their decision.

According to multiple reports, the Giants will bench Daniel Jones for their Week 12 game against the Buccaneers. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Tommy DeVito is expected to take over as the team’s starter.

Fantasy Impact:

This news shouldn't come as a surprise as we detailed last week perhaps the biggest reason the Giants would bench Jones after their bye week - his $23 million injury guarantee. The story speculates no one is likely to trade for Jones after the season, and so it's expected he'll be released by the team at some point. The decision to start DeVito does make some sense as he was a popular player during his 15 minutes of fame last season, and he does at least bring some rushing upside in terms of fantasy. His only value for now comes in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues.

49ers TE George Kittle is not expected to play Sunday against the Seahawks with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The team will test Kittle in pre-game but signs are pointing towards him not playing. Kittle is currently expected to return in Week 12 against the Packers. if Kittle can't go, Eric Saubert would get the start at tight end.
