Giants WR Hakeem Nicks was worried about re-injuring hi...

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks was worried about re-injuring his hamstring in Week 10.

“I’m not going to lie, I went into the game praying, ‘God, please let me make it out of this game healthy,’” Nicks said today after he and a few teammates delivered turkeys to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey in Hillside. “I did, and it was all good.”

Nicks believes a big part of the reason was his legs were looser than in previous games, due to a longer warmup routine. He began with three laps around the field, stretched, did some “build-up” runs of increasing distance, stretched again and then caught passes from Eli Manning.

“They wanted to make sure I broke a nice sweat. I made sure I did,” said Nicks, who was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. “I think I’m going to do the same thing this week.”

And perhaps beyond — injured or not.

“It’s probably going to be my regular routine from here on out,” he said.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 13

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 7:52 PM EST

Cowboys ruled out Jake Ferguson for the Thanksgiving game vs. the New York Giants due to his concussion. His replacement, once again, will be Luke Schoonmaker.

Fantasy Impact:

This was expected, but it could have been a nice matchup for the No. 2 pass-catcher. Schoonmaker is a little less exciting but is worth a TE stream for desperate managers.

Seahawks WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett miss Wednesday practice

Brady Henderson

yesterday · 7:48 PM EST

The Seahawks list DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as non-participants in practice today. These appear to be new injuries (though Lockett was also listed with a knee injury in Week 7). Leonard Williams has been playing through his foot injury the past few weeks.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

This is obviously not a great sign for Geno Smith or the general offensive environment for the Seahawks. We would have to imagine that JSN would be seeing his fifth double-digit target game of the season if either of the two were forced to miss Week 13, which catapults him into solid WR2 territory. We'll keep an eye on the reports through the rest of the week.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito officially Questionable for Week 13

Giants QB Tommy DeVito (right forearm) is listed as questionable for tomorrow against the Cowboys. Drew Lock, his backup, took some first-team reps just in case.

Fantasy Impact:

What a treat this game will be. Whether DeVito or Lock is back there on Thanksgiving, they both need to remain firmly on waiver wires.
