Another key element for Bills success will be to perfect his chemistry with QB Trent Edwards. Edwards needs to trust that Jackson will be able to adapt to different plays, as well as take on a greater amount of route responsibility. The more comfortable Edwards can get with Jackson, the more likely Jackson will see increased touches.

“He (Edwards) was the guy I was out here working with just trying to get some of the timing down,” said Jackson. “I want to make sure he’s on the same page I am when I’m running the routes. We’re putting in the work and hopefully we get things perfected.”

Jackson doesn’t hold back when it comes to practicing and perfecting. His experience and desire to improve have given him a solid formula for success in previous seasons, and in the spring. Jackson plans to continue to sharpen his game at training camp.

“We’re getting the work in now so if it comes to that in the season at some point and I’m out there, I’ll have a feel for it and I know what we’re doing,” Jackson said. “I’m doing all this work now to perfect my trade.”

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.
