Dallas Cowboys wide receivers CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) and Brandin Cooks (knee) were both listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Tuesday. It was an estimation after Dallas held another walkthrough on Tuesday. Lamb was active in the Week 12 win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and was busy, catching 10 passes for 67 yards on 12 targets. The ceiling is lower for the 25-year-old now that quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) is out for the year, but Lamb remains a must-start in fantasy lineups for the Thanksgiving game against the division-rival New York Giants on Thursday. He had a 7-98-1 line against them on Sept. 26. Cooks must be activated from Injured Reserve to play on Thursday. The 31-year-old veteran hasn't played since Sept. 26 and won't be a recommended fantasy play if he returns against the G-Men on Turkey Day.

It's looking like Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle) might return from Injured Reserve in Week 13 to face the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. Pacheco remains on IR but put in a full practice on Tuesday to kick off the week. It's the first time he's practiced in full since fracturing his right ankle back on Sept. 15. The 25-year-old required surgery for the injury, but he's nearing his return. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy mentioned that the workload this Friday between Pacheco and Kareem Hunt will be determined situationally during the game. It sounds like KC is planning on having Pacheco available in Week 13, but it could be more of an even split between the two RBs in a great matchup. Pacheco was the lead back before his injury, but the Chiefs could ease him back in against Vegas. It makes both RBs more volatile RB3/flex plays if Pacheco is active on Friday.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) was a DNP at practice on Tuesday. Doubs was also a DNP on Monday after suffering a concussion in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers. Doubs caught three passes for 54 yards before exiting the game. He has been putting together another solid season with 34 receptions for 483 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games. With an excellent Miami Dolphins offense coming to town on Thanksgiving, the Packers will need all hands on deck. With Doubs' lack of practice at this point in the week, he looks poised to miss this game. If Doubs is ultimately ruled out, wide receivers Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks stand to benefit the most from his absence. While Doubs has not been the Packers' most productive wide receiver, he has surely been an every-down player. The Packers have an embarrassment of riches as far as offensive weapons go so they should still produce high-end offensive numbers in Week 13.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush (knee) is expected to play on Thanksgiving despite being limited in practice the last two days. Rush was injured in the Cowboys' Week 12 win over the Washington Commanders. However, the words of encouragement regarding his status for Week 13 against the New York Giants is excellent for fantasy managers rostering wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Luke Schoonmaker. Rush has been mostly solid since he took over as the Cowboys' starting quarterback in Week 10. He had a disastrous outing in Week 10, but he has thrown for at least 247 yards in each of his two games since then. Rush has always provided a solid fantasy floor for skill position players in Dallas' offense when he has been called upon to start in place of Dak Prescott (hamstring). Hopefully, Rush's injury will not limit him in Week 13 and he will be able to continue providing fantasy managers with the value they seek from Lamb and Schoonmaker.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was a DNP at practice on Tuesday. With only one more day to ramp up participation ahead of the Cowboys' Thanksgiving tilt against the New York Giants, things do not look good for Ferguson's chances to play. Ferguson has been solid when healthy in 2024. However, injuries have limited him to nine games played and 369 receiving yards. Ferguson has also not found the end zone in 2024. Ferguson's backup, Luke Schoonmaker, has been excellent over the past couple of weeks with Ferguson out. Schoonmaker has recorded nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in the past two games combined. The Giants are excellent against tight ends in fantasy. Even so, quarterback Cooper Rush has displayed a propensity to throw to his tight ends. It looks like Schoonmaker will receive another chance to run the show in Week 13 and is a solid play for Ferguson managers who added him off waivers.

The Philadelphia Eagles claimed defensive end Charles Harris off waivers after placing defensive end Brandon Graham (triceps) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Graham tore his triceps in Week 12 and will miss the remainder of the season. The Eagles needed to add depth along the defensive line to weather the loss of Graham. Harris is a veteran defensive end who has been around since 2017. He played in nine games for the Carolina Panthers in 2024 before being released this week. Harris has recorded three sacks this season. His most productive season came in 2021 when he recorded 7.5 sacks with the Detroit Lions. Harris is a capable edge rusher and should be a solid complementary piece for the Eagles as they make their playoff push. He does not project to be an every-down player, but he should be able to make a couple of plays as a complementary piece.

The Philadelphia Eagles placed defensive end Brandon Graham (triceps) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. The 36-year-old is now officially slated to miss the remainder of the season with a torn triceps. The move is a huge blow to the Eagles' excellent defensive line. Graham is tied for third on the team in sacks with 3.5. The Eagles employ a deep rotation of defensive linemen that allows them to generate pressure with fresh players constantly. Graham is also valuable in the running game. He has six tackles for loss on the season in addition to his sacks. Given that the Eagles are so deep along the defensive line, they will be able to weather Graham's absence. However, his leadership and experience are what they will miss the most. Graham has made several deep playoff runs with the Eagles and was on their only Super Bowl-winning team in 2017.

The New York Giants placed linebacker Azeez Ojulari (toe) on injured reserve Tuesday. He is now slated to miss a minimum of four games. Ojulari has been a bright spot for a Giants team devoid of talent or direction in 2024. He has recorded six sacks and 28 total tackles in 11 games played this season. The Giants defense has been solid this season behind the play of Ojulari and other solid defenders such as defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II and linebacker Brian Burns. Unfortunately, the offense has lagged far behind the defense and it seems as though Giants coaches are losing the locker room on both sides of the ball. Before his injury, Ojulari was tied for second on the team in sacks with Burns. He is also third in tackles for loss with seven. The Giants do not have a lot of depth behind Ojulari so things only seem to be getting worse for this franchise in 2024.

The Washington Commanders have brought in free agent running backs James Robinson and Boston Scott for workouts. The Commanders are thin at running back with Austin Ekeler (concussion) and Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) both exiting the team's Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys with injuries. Robinson and Scott have both enjoyed success in the past. Robinson most recently played in one game for the Green Bay Packers in 2023 while providing depth on their practice squad. He is known for rushing for 1,070 yards and seven touchdowns as an undrafted rookie running back in 2020. Scott spent the first six years of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He spent time on the practice squads of both the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. Both players are quality backs that would provide a steady veteran presence in the locker room. Neither would move the needle much in fantasy. Instead, fantasy managers should turn to Jeremy McNichols as insurance in the Commanders' backfield.

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (back) was listed as limited for the second straight day on Tuesday on the team's estimated practice report. The Giants held a walkthrough practice, so Johnson's participation is a projection. New York plays the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thursday on Thanksgiving on a short week, so it's likely they are giving the 23-year-old rookie a little rest as he battles through a back injury. It's hard to trust any of the Giants' pass-catchers with quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) now running the offense, but Johnson has seen his role as a receiver grow lately and is at least worth a look as a TE2 sleeper in deeper leagues if he's active against Dallas. He's been targeted at least six times the last three games and has translated that into 10 receptions for 127 yards and one touchdown.

The Washington Commanders placed kicker Austin Seibert (hip) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, meaning he will have to miss at least the next four games. Seibert was held out of action in Weeks 10 and 11 due to a right-hip injury and returned for the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys, where he missed a 50-plus yard field goal and two extra-points -- one at the end of the contest that would have tied the game. The 28-year-old didn't look right and now won't be eligible to return to Washington until the regular-season finale in Week 18 versus the Cowboys. With Seibert on the shelf, the Commanders will most likely bring Zane Gonzalez back to the active roster after he filled in for Seibert in Weeks 10 and 11. The 29-year-old Gonzalez made his return to the NFL this year for the first time since 2021 and went 3-for-3 on FGs and 4-for-4 on extra points in his two games recently for Washington.

Former Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich was claimed off waivers on Tuesday by the New York Giants, according to a source. Dulcich caught just five of 12 targets for 28 yards and no touchdowns in the first four games this year but has been a healthy scratch for Denver the last eight games. He'll now get a fresh start in the Big Apple and will serve as depth at the position behind rookie Theo Johnson (back), Chris Manhertz and Daniel Bellinger. The 24-year-old probably will not be active for the team's Thanksgiving game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. When Dulcich gets himself familiarized with the Giants' offense, he'll have a tough time finding snaps for the rest of the 2024 season. Injuries limited him in his first two years with the Broncos and he caught 41 of 71 targets for 464 yards and two touchdowns in his 16 games (10 starts) with the team.

New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said he thinks the usage of tight end Taysom Hill the last few weeks is trending toward where the team wants it to be the rest of the season. "I think sprinkling him a little bit everywhere is when we're at our best," Rizzi said. The Saints are coming off their bye week, with Hill most notably going off for a career day in the Week 11 win over the Cleveland Browns, catching eight of 10 targets for 50 yards while also carrying the ball a season-high seven times for 138 yards and a whopping three rushing touchdowns. In addition, he completed one pass for 18 yards and an interception while returning a kickoff 42 yards. While fantasy managers can't expect a repeat of the 34-year-old's big day in Week 11, Hill has the ability to operate as a TE1 in fantasy the rest of the way with receiver Chris Olave (concussion) still on Injured Reserve.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie kicker Spencer Shrader (hamstring) will not participate in the team's first practice of the week on Tuesday. On a short week -- the Chiefs play the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders this Friday -- Shrader's availability is now in question. Harrison Butker (knee) is on Injured Reserve, so the 25-year-old was scooped up off the New York Jets' practice squad and has served as KC's kicker the last two games. He's held his own for the Super Bowl champions, converting on all three of his field-goal tries and all six of his extra-point attempts. As insurance, the Chiefs added Matthew Wright to their practice squad on Tuesday. The Raiders have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers, so whoever is kicking for Kansas City on Black Friday is at least worth a look as a streamer at the position in Week 13. Whether the Chiefs activate Wright to the active roster will be a telling sign for Shrader this week.

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock took some first-team reps in Tuesday's practice, which is unusual for a QB2 in Brian Daboll's system. Starting Tommy Devito is dealing with an arm ailment but is expected to start on Thursday against the Dallas Cowboys. However, the second-year signal-caller threw for just 189 yards and led the Giants to seven points against the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in Week 13, so another lackluster performance could result in Lock taking over the QB1 duties. That said, fantasy managers in two-QB and Superflex leagues should consider stashing Lock in case he's called into action. He has limited upside in single-QB formats, but any starter has value in the aforementioned league setups.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to Chiefs beat writer Matt Derrick. Harrison Butker (knee) is on the Injured Reserve list, and fill-in kicker Spencer Shrader (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury. Wright kicked in two games for the Chiefs in 2022. Overall, he has attempted kicks for five NFL squads, connecting on 43 of his 50 field goal attempts and 38 of his 40 extra point tries in 21 games. Shrader has averaged 7.6 fantasy points per game in the absence of Butker, so if Wright draws a start for K.C., he's unlikely to be a high-end kicker option in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday.

The New York Jets are signing Zonovan Knight to the practice squad, according to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero. "Bam" Knight was signed by New York as an undrafted free agent out of the 2022 NFL Draft class and rushed 85 times for 300 yards and a touchdown as a rookie with the organization. He spent last season with the Detroit Lions but has not been with a team in 2024. With Breece Hall and Braelon Allen healthy heading into Week 13, this is probably a mere depth signing and can be ignored for fantasy football purposes.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (shoulder) is trending toward playing on Thursday against the Chicago Bears, according to head coach Dan Campbell. Campbell said he "feels pretty good" about Montgomery's status, and the veteran running back wanted to go back into last week's game after suffering a minor shoulder ding, but the team held him out as a precaution. The 27-year-old has scored at least one rushing touchdown in nine of 11 games this year and has reached double-digit fantasy points in 10 of those contests. Assuming he suits up against his former team on Thanksgiving, he's a must-start RB2 option against the Chicago defense that has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game to ball carriers.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he has not decided if he wants to play in 2025 yet. On a Tuesday appearance on the Pat McAfee show, the future Hall of Famer said his No. 1 option would be to return to the Jets if he plays, but there is still uncertainty ahead. There have been several reports of drama with Rodgers within the New York organization, but Rodgers said he has not spoken to people who would know his plans for the upcoming season. Either way, things are not panning out as Rodgers hoped this season, as head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas have been fired before Week 12. The Jets are a longshot to make the playoffs this season after getting out to a 3-8 start. Rodgers has thrown for 2,442 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 2024.

The Detroit Lions are releasing third-year pass-rusher James Houston on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The 2022 sixth-round pick out of Jackson State registered eight sacks in just seven games as a rookie but has recorded only one sack in his last 10 games and has been in and out of the Detroit lineup. The team traded for veteran Za'Darius Smith a few weeks ago to help mend to loss of Aidan Hutchinson, so it appears there was no role on the defense for Houston moving forward. Because of his promising 2022 campaign, another team might be interested in bringing him in.
