Noah Fant

SEA Tight End #87

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Fant has missed multiple weeks due to a groin injury, but could be on his way back this week. He got in a pair of limited practices last week and starts this week out as a full participant. If he is cleared to play, Fant is no more than a back-end TE2 play against the Jets.
Tyler Lockett

SEA Wide Receiver #16

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Lockett has been managing various injuries throughout the season and is listed with a knee injury for his non-participation to begin the week. He is the clear No. 3 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba now and fantasy managers in shallower leagues can cut Lockett at this point of the season. If he cannot practice later in the week, Lockett is likely to miss Week 13 against the Jets, propping Smith-Njigba up further as a borderline WR1 fantasy play.
DK Metcalf

SEA Wide Receiver #14

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Metcalf popped up on the Seahawks’ practice report with a new shoulder injury, listed as a non-participant for Wednesday. We have not yet heard about Metcalf’s shoulder issue, so the severity of the injury is still up in the air. If Metcalf can practice over the next couple days, he has a better chance of suiting up for Week 13. Otherwise, Metcalf is at risk of missing the Seahawks’ game against the Jets. With Tyler Lockett (knee) also missing practice, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is slated for a big game this week.
Trent Williams

SF Tackle #71

Trent Williams (knee/heel) was seen using a knee scooter in the 49ers’ locker room on Wednesday.

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows reports that Williams is experiencing pain even while walking at this point, evidently prompting the scooter use. The 49ers’ left tackle has been managing a multi-week ankle injury but the team is now listing him with a heel injury as well. While a contusion or an impact-related injury is possible, “heel” suggests this could involve the Achilles tendon, which is very worrying. Williams appears highly unlikely to play in Week 13.
Cooper Rush

DAL Quarterback #10

Cooper Rush (knee) is not on Dallas’ final Week 13 injury report.

He got in a full practice on Wednesday and will be a low-end superflex QB2 against the Giants on Thursday. Rush has thrown for 247/2 and 354/1 in his last two starts and will get Brandin Cooks back for Thanksgiving. It’s not enough to make us actively recommend starting him, but “Giants at home” is a pretty enticing look.
CeeDee Lamb

DAL Wide Receiver #88

CeeDee Lamb is not on Dallas’ final Week 13 injury report.

Wan’Dale Lamb, as some have called him, will get ready for his weekly allotment of passes with an aDOT under five against the Giants this week. He’ll be more of a WR2/3 in most leagues for the remainder of the year as Mike McCarthy tries to create the world’s most horizontal offense.
Jake Ferguson

DAL Tight End #87

Jake Ferguson (concussion) will not play in Dallas’ Week 13 game against the Giants.

He has not practiced since suffering the concussion in Week 11 against the Texans. It will remain the Luke Schoonmaker show against the Giants and Schoonmaker is a PPR Scheme TE1 flier this week. Ferguson’s concussion must be pretty serious for us to see no signs of even a limited practice at this point and fantasy managers reliant on him may want to start making other plans for Week 14.
Hollywood Brown

KC Wide Receiver #5

The Athletic’s Nate Taylor writes the Chiefs are “optimistic” that Hollywood Brown (shoulder) will practice in December.

That does not necessarily mean he’ll play, of course, but Brown has made posts of him working with the JUGS machine on his Instagram account. Brown was not expected to play in the regular season after suffering the dislocated collarbone on his first snap of preseason play. However, it appears there still might be some room for him to come back to the team in the playoffs, and perhaps some late-season play, if he continues to rehab as well as it looks from the outside.
Alexander Mattison

LV Running Back #22

Alexander Mattison (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Mattison is on track to return for Week 13 after sitting out the Raiders’ 19-29 loss to the Broncos in Week 12. As a north-south rusher likely to play in a trailing game script, Mattison can only be started in the most dire of circumstances. He is a touchdown-dependent RB5.
Tank Bigsby

JAX Running Back #4

Tank Bigsby (ankle) practiced in full on Wednesday.

It’s a great start for his chances of playing against the Texans in Week 13. Doug Pederson said he’d be “full go” in practice earlier and the report proved him prophetic. Bigsby will likely remain in some sort of committee with Travis Etienne Jr. in Week 13, but he’s run so well this year that it’s hard to believe he won’t produce RB2-caliber numbers even despite the split role.
