Coach Mike Tomlin said his starters will probably play approximately 10 to 12 snaps when the Steelers open their preseason Saturday night against the New York Giants at Heinz Field, and one of those starters could be rookie running back LeVeon Bell.

"Don't be surprised if you see Le'Veon getting some snaps with those guys," Tomlin said during a late-morning news conference at St. Vincent College. "I think he has earned that. I think how he is running the ball speaks for itself.

"Don't be surprised to see him getting some snaps after those guys are out of the game, as well. He, like a lot of guys, we need to get a lot of exposure to."

Bell, the team's No. 2 draft pick, has been very impressive at training camp and his debut against the Giants will likely be the first step on his way to being the team's feature back when the Steelers open the regular season against the Tennessee Titans.

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

Ian Rapoport

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.
