Justin Jefferson Injury Update

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Chicago Bears. The wideout has logged limited practice sessions throughout the week.

For the third straight week, the #Vikings are listing WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the #Bears.

However, considering Jefferson was vague when asked about his Week 12 availability, it will be tough for fantasy managers to plan, especially since the Vikings won't play until Monday evening. That said, he could be limited even if he does suit up, which isn't ideal regarding his potential production. At the same time, it may take Jefferson time to build a rapport with Joshua Dobbs, who's played well as the Vikings' signal-caller.

Rachaad White Injury Update

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (knee) was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday. Despite that, White is expected to suit up for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. It looks like White is trending in the right direction, but could still be limited during this game.

White has been the workhorse back as he has been playing around 80 percent of the offensive snaps. If he's limited, Chase Edmonds could see more carries in the backfield. However, he's not a recommended fantasy option with White likely playing on Sunday.

Marquise Brown Injury Update

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) is "hopeful" to play versus the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Listed as questionable entering this weekend, Brown had the odds stacked against him after he missed two consecutive practices on Thursday and Friday.

#AZCardinals WR Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, who is listed as questionable with a heel injury, is hopeful to play today, source said.

However, he's pushing to be active and, by the tone of Rapoport's tweet, certainly has a chance to do so. The 26-year-old has been relatively quiet over his last three contests, catching just seven passes for 60 yards. He ranks as a low-end WR3 in fantasy football for Week 12.

Dameon Pierce Injury Update

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) is expected to return for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. The 23-year-old missed the Texans' previous three contests because of an ankle issue and entered the weekend riding a questionable designation.

Texans’ RB Dameon Pierce, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to play vs. the Jaguars, per source.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 26, 2023

However, he practiced in full all week, so fantasy managers had expected him back all along. Nonetheless, it's possible Pierce could be eased back into the swing of things, meaning Devin Singletary could remain involved. Yet, a timeshare wouldn't be ideal for either man's fantasy potential. As a result, fantasy managers should consider other options if at all possible.

Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. Injury Update

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Zay Flowers (hip) and Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) are expected to be active in Week 12 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction after logging full practices on Friday.

The #Ravens are expected to have both WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulder) and WR Zay Flowers (hip) on Sunday night, per me and @MikeGarafolo. Both are listed as questionable. OT Ronnie Stanley should also be good.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 26, 2023

While Flowers has been a more steady contributor over the whole season, Beckham has shown increased production over the last three weeks with 212 yards and two touchdowns during that span. Fantasy managers can justify starting either Ravens receiver now that tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) is done for the season.

Gerald Everett and Jalen Guyton Injury Update

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (chest) and wide receiver Jalen Guyton (groin) are expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction after practicing in a limited or full capacity this past week.

#Chargers TE Gerald Everett (chest) and WR Jalen Guyton (groin) -- both of whom are listed as questionable -- are expected to go today, sources say.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 26, 2023

Everett has been underwhelming this season, catching 21 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns. He's not a reliable fantasy option at the moment. Guyton, on the other hand, caught four passes for 41 yards and one touchdown in the last game he played, putting him in the low-end WR3/FLEX tier for Week 12.

D'Onta Foreman Injury Update

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman (ankle, shin) isn't expected to play in Monday's NFC North meeting with the Vikings. The 27-year-old was ruled out during the Week 11 matchup with the Detroit Lions and didn't practice on Thursday. He logged limited sessions on Friday and Saturday, although it doesn't appear he'll be healthy enough to suit up despite the extra day off.

Bears injury report: D’Onta Foreman (ankle/shin) is doubtful to play Monday night. Tyrique Stevenson (ankle) is questionable to play, Larry Borom (illness) is listed as doubtful while Noah Sewell (knee) was ruled out.

— Chris Emma (@CEmma670) November 25, 2023

As a result, Khalil Herbert, who hasn't scored a rushing touchdown this season, should remain the top option out of the backfield, with Roschon Johnson coming in for scraps throughout the contest.

Kadarius Toney Injury Update

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) won't play in Sunday's AFC West showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old had high expectations entering the 2023-24 campaign. Unfortunately, he hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers, catching 22 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown.

— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) November 25, 2023

Nevertheless, the Chiefs also won't have Mecole Hardman Jr. (thumb) and Jerick McKinnon (groin) in Week 12, so the combined absences of three pass-catchers should mean a few more targets for Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice.

Kyren Williams Injury Update

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) was a full practice participant all week and was officially removed from the Week 12 injury report on Friday. It means that he will officially be activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and return to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the last four games while on IR. However, it remains to be seen if the 23-year-old will be eased back into LA's backfield after the long layoff.

Kyren Williams #ramshouse

Will play vs #birdgang after missing several games with a high ankle. High recurrence rate and increases risk for other injuries in the same leg, but RBs on average do not see a hit on fantasy production. Start him 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/tT2B2Wt119

— Tom Christ, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT (@FantasyInjuryT) November 26, 2023

Williams' full practice participation all week is good news, though, so he figures to see a decent workload in a plus matchup against Arizona. "I think we want to be able to give him a good workload, but I think that was something we had identified [previously]," head coach Sean McVay said of Williams, who will be backed up by Royce Freeman on Sunday. Williams will have RB2 upside for fantasy managers in his first game back.

Derek Carr Injury Update

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran signal-caller has been a full participant in practice, so it appears he's ready to get back out there.

— RotoBaller NFL (@RotoBallerNFL) November 25, 2023

Carr has been dealing with a shoulder injury as well, but looks to be at full health for this game. Fantasy managers should consider Carr a low-end QB2 for this upcoming matchup. It'll likely be a run-heavy game for the Saints, so there probably won't be a ton of value from Carr.
