Colbert has not played in a regular season game since 2022, when he appeared in two games for the Bears. The 31-year-old has spent parts of the last seven years with the 49ers, Dolphins, Giants, Jets, Browns, and Bears. He has been in and out of Chicago over the last two season and now returns as the Bears add depth to their secondary.20 November 2024
Highsmith missed Week 11 against the Ravens and has been out since Week 10 due to an ankle injury. Mike Tomlin said last week that Highsmith would be week-to-week and he has not been placed on injured reserve. He has three sacks in six games this season, grading out as one of the Steelers’ best pass-rushers. With back-to-back DNPs to begin the week, expect Highsmith to miss Thursday’s Week 12 game against the Browns, though the mini-bye may allow him to recover enough for Week 13.19 November 2024
Desperate PPR-scam desirers at tight end can start with Luke Schoonmaker, who caught 6-of-10 targets for 56 yards on Monday night. Dallas’ offensive ceiling is probably 20 points right now, but Schoonmaker has made the most of his opportunities when Ferguson has missed time this year, with 12 catches in two games against the Saints and Texans.19 November 2024
Cooks has not played since Week 4 and has little fantasy value to offer in a Cooper Rush-driven offense. The 31-year-old has not been activated off injured reserve yet. Even deep leagues probably have to look at the idea of him providing fantasy value skeptically at this point.

But there will also be a package of plays for Trey Lance. Ultimately this may make neither player superflex viable if they are splitting into each other’s time. Only truly desperate times would call for starting either player against a Commanders defense that is on the upswing in Week 12.19 November 2024
It’s the second waiver claim on Wilson in as many years, as the Patriots claimed him in the middle of last season from the Cardinals. Wilson has yet to deliver above a 61.2 PFF coverage grade in his four years in the NFL, but with DJ Turner (clavicle) down, the Bengals clearly needed depth at corner.19 November 2024
Bailey has been a special-teams-only player for Arizona this year. He’s mainly played as a depth linebacker for the Bengals on run downs in his NFL career after they drafted him with a seventh-round pick in 2020. Bailey will be eligible to return at the end of the season, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the Cardinals moved on given his sparse role for the team.19 November 2024
It’s a depth shuffling for New England, who put Curtis Jacobs (head) on injured reserve and waived Ochaun Mathis. Leo has no NFL snaps yet as a 2023 sixth-round pick for the Colts. He did have a 64.1 PFF preseason grade in 2023.19 November 2024
He spoke to reporters before practice and it sounds likely that he’ll give it a go on Tuesday, but this is a new listing. Garrett has seven sacks in 10 games this season and a surprise absence would give the Pittsburgh passing game a little more breathing room to work with on Thursday night.19 November 2024
We’ve heard almost nothing from beat reporters or Browns media about Njoku missing this game, so we’ll stick with believing he’s just being managed for the moment. Njoku caught 9-of-10 targets for 81 yards last week against the Saints and played a season-high 86 percent of the snaps.19 November 2024
Moore’s status for Week 12 doesn’t seem overly endangered at this point after a pair of limited practices ahead of Thursday night. Bye week attrition means he’ll be on the WR3/FLEX line even against the Steelers defense. Moore has 29 targets in three weeks with Jameis Winston.19 November 2024
Kittle was officially questionable last week with the hamstring injury, and was supposedly going to test it in pre-game workouts but was declared inactive without even getting on the field before the game. This is good news, but limited practices won’t exactly bring us any closer to a conviction that Kittle will play in Week 12.19 November 2024
In other words, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him on the injury report this week. Shanahan said much the same thing about George Kittle’s hamstring after Week 10, before he missed Week 11. We wouldn’t bet on Purdy missing a game, to be clear, but this should at least open the door to some question about his Week 12 status.19 November 2024
That’s right, they’re desperate enough to keep Daniel Jones from playing another snap that they needed to make sure to cover the bases and threaten us with Boyle snaps. Boyle threw for 153 scoreless yards in two relief appearances for the Dolphins earlier this year after being with the Texans in training camp. If you were looking for someone to make Malik Nabers interesting, this is not that guy.19 November 2024
“It’s hard to imagine him even wanting to come back,” Cimini adds. SNY’s Connor Hughes concurred, saying “it’s very clear now that this organization is going to find a new quarterback.” The Jets beat has come out strong with the belief that this is the end of the line for Rodgers in New York following the firing of Joe Douglas. There’s enough inertia here that we wouldn’t entirely rule out a Rodgers return — who is the owner? who is the general manager? who is the head coach? ...19 November 2024
He had to be activated by tomorrow or miss the remainder of the season. Robinson, a fifth-round pick from Texas, will start behind Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, and D’Ernest Johnson in the pecking order at running back and potentially will be a special-teams only player. He’s not a fantasy football roster candidate at this time.19 November 2024
He’ll replace Dawand Jones on the active roster. Christian has been a vagabond since being drafted by Washington in 2018, playing with the Texans, Chiefs, and Browns. He was with the Titans in training camp and has gone back-and-forth between the Browns and Rams in-season. He’ll provide veteran tackle play for the Browns should Jedrick Wills remain out.19 November 2024
He has “the potential to be gone for the year” and the Bengals are looking to add options in the secondary per Taylor. Turner had some big plays in Week 11’s loss to the Chargers and was just starting to round in to form. It’s a tough loss for a defense that is already best described as beleaguered.19 November 2024
The former Browns general manager likely has no shot at getting a full-time job and, with the trade deadline passing, has little way to make an impact on this roster. He ran the Browns from 2005-2008 and has mostly been an executive or consultant since. He’s the guy who will check to make sure any move he wants to make is cool with Aaron Rodgers for the next seven weeks.19 November 2024
Fields in Week 11 had two rushes for 17 yards after weeks of Steelers coaches talking up a Fields rushing package. Smith said Fields would have had more usage against Baltimore if the Steelers had not stalled out on several first half drives. He stressed that the team does not see Fields as a gadget player. “We have two starting quarterbacks,” Smith said Tuesday. “It’s a very unique situation.” More usage for Fields — especially in the red zone — could make Russell Wilson unviable ...
