The Seattle Seahawks opened the 21-day practice window for safety Rayshawn Jenkins (hand) on Wednesday. Jenkins is in his first season with the Seahawks. He was forced onto injured reserve after the Seahawks' Week 6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. However, he had been playing well prior to his injury. In six games played, Jenkins recorded 38 total tackles and recovered a fumble. It is unclear when Jenkins will return to game action, but this Seahawks defense is continuing to get healthier for the stretch run of the season. The unit seemed to find some success in Week 11 against the 49ers. They limited the 49ers to just 17 points. If the defense can continue to succeed, it will likely assist the offense. As such, the Seahawks' skill position players such as quarterback Geno Smith, running back Kenneth Walker III, and wide receivers DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba could enjoy a lot more success moving forward. Additionally, better play from the defensive unit could put the Seahawks D/ST in play for fantasy.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle is optimistic about his availability for Week 12, but fantasy players will know more about his status over the next few days. He is a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues when healthy.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Fantasy Spin: McCaffrey has received at least 19 touches in each of his first two games of the season and has over 100 total yards in both games. He will continue to be a significant part of the offense and is a must-start option in fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers CB Jaire Alexander (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20. DT Kenny Clark (toe), LB Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring), OG Elgton Jenkins (non-injury), OG Josh Myers (wrist), OT Rasheed Walker (knee), S Evan Williams (hamstring) and DE Colby Wooden (shoulder) were limited during practice.

Minnesota Vikings TE Josh Oliver (ankle, wrist) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20. DE Jonathan Bullard (toe) was limited during practice. LB Gabriel Murphy (knee) and TE Nick Muse (hand) fully participated in practice.

Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds (hand) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Reynolds is still on the Reserve/Injured list but could be activated before the Week 12 game, so fantasy players should monitor the situation. Players may want to see Reynolds play in a game before considering him for their starting lineups.

Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Anderson's return to practice is a welcome sight for fantasy managers who were planning on rolling out the Texans D/ST in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. The star second-year player is a key cog in a solid Texans defense. Anderson has racked up 7.5 sacks in nine games played in 2024. Should Anderson play this week, he is sure to sack Titans quarterback Will Levis at least once, if not multiple times. The Texans boast the No. 6 D/ST in fantasy in 2024. The Titans happen to be the best matchup for opposing D/STs in fantasy this season. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation to ensure that Anderson will be active. However, with Anderson trending towards playing this week, the Texans should be 100% rostered and started throughout fantasy football leagues.

Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold (foot) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Darnold had a bounce back performance last week and has thrown at least two touchdowns in three of the last four games. He will be facing a good Chicago Bears defense this week but could be a possible starting option in some deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ribs) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Jones was held to only 39 yards rushing last week but rushed for at least 50 yards in each of the previous four games. He will see a good amount of touches in Week 12 and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) is still not practicing after being acquired at the trade deadline. Lattimore was acquired by the Commanders in a move that signaled they are all in on this season but he has not played since Week 8 when he was still a member of the New Orleans Saints. Lattimore would be a huge boost to a Commanders defensive secondary that has already limited opposing passing offenses to 184.4 yards per game in 2024. Lattimore's experience would be great for the less experienced corners in Washington. Lattimore's progress throughout the week should be monitored. However, if he has trouble getting on the practice field in any capacity on Thursday, it seems unlikely that he will play in Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. If Lattimore misses another week, it would be great news for Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back/foot). Lamb seems poised to succeed against the Commanders no matter what. Not having Lattimore on the field would make life that much easier for Lamb who is not competing for targets with anyone else on the Cowboys.

New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence II (knee) opened up the Week 12 injury report as a limited participant. Lawrence is one of the best defensive tackles in the league. He anchors what is actually a solid New York Giants defense. The Giants host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Lawrence and his nine sacks will definitely be needed with Baker Mayfield and company coming to town. Given that Lawrence is a veteran and has played in every game this season, his presence as a limited participant on the injury report this early in the week is of little concern. He is enjoying a career year and should give Mayfield and the skill players in Tampa Bay fits on Sunday provided he remains healthy enough to play.

Miami Dolphins OT Terron Armstead (knee), DT Calais Campbell (non-injury), CB Kendall Fuller (concussion) and S Jordan Poyer (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20. FB Alec Ingold (calf), DT Benito Jones (shoulder), OG Rob Jones (groin, knee), CB Jalen Ramsey (knee) and OT Isaiah Wynn (knee, quadriceps) were limited during practice. LB Tyus Bowser (calf, knee), C Aaron X. Brewer (calf, shoulder), LB Jordyn Brooks (wrist), TE Julian Hill (shoulder), S Jevon Holland (hand, knee) and S Patrick McMorris (calf) fully participated in practice.

Houston Texans DE Denico Autry (knee, oblique), DT Folorunso Fatukasi (foot) and OT Blake Fisher (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20. LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) and CB Derek Stingley Jr. (hip) were limited during practice. CB Kamari Lassiter (concussion) fully participated in practice.

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Hill likely will be dealing with the wrist injury for the rest of the season and probably will be able to play in Week 12. He will see a good amount of targets against the New England Patriots and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Miami Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (hip) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Mostert was not a factor in the team's last game but did have 88 total yards a few weeks ago. He likely will see a limited amount of touches in Week 12 and can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) is listed on the Week 12 injury report after putting in a limited practice session on Wednesday due to a foot ailment. Darnold played the full game in the Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans but is having his reps limited in the first practice of the week. We'll have a better idea of how serious his injury is after the Vikings hold two more practices on Thursday and Friday. The 27-year-old has slowed down of late in terms of his production, throwing five touchdowns and five interceptions in the last three games. It won't get any easier this weekend if he plays against the division-rival Chicago Bears, whose defense has given up the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the QB position in 2024. Darnold is shaping up as a low-end QB2 play for fantasy managers in Week 12 if he's active.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (lower body) is being listed as limited on the team's practice report on Wednesday, according to a source. Wednesday was the final day of a strengthening program geared towards Hurts' lower body. He's expected to practice in full on Thursday and Friday and play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. The 26-year-old had a down Week 11 with 221 passing yards and no touchdowns, but he did manage to rush for 39 yards and a touchdown. Especially because of the Eagle's propensity to go for QB sneaks at the goal line, Hurts is an elite, must-start QB1 in fantasy each and every week. Hurts should bounce back on Sunday night against a shaky Rams defense. He comes into Week 12 as the QB3 in overall fantasy points through 11 weeks, behind only Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday that the team is opening the 21-day practice window for linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux (wrist) to return from Injured Reserve, and the team is hopeful that he can play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Thibodeaux missed a fifth straight game in Week 10 due to a broken wrist, but after having last week's bye to rest up, the 23-year-old could return for New York's defense. The former fifth overall pick in 2022 out of Oregon will be a welcomed addition as they look to slow down a Bucs defense this weekend that could be getting star wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back. Through five games in 2024 in his third NFL season, Thibodeaux has provided only 12 tackles (eight solo), two sacks and seven QB hits for the G-Men.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with multiple injuries. Lamb injured his back in practice last Saturday and was questionable to play on Monday night in the loss to the Houston Texans, but he was active and played 80% of the offensive snaps on his way to eight catches for 93 yards. The 25-year-old pass-catcher must have picked up a foot injury on Monday, and his practice status will be monitored closely to close out the week. The most likely scenario is that the Cowboys are giving their star receiver a little rest on a short week before he faces the division-rival Washington Commanders this Sunday. Lamb's fantasy value isn't as high now that quarterback Cooper Rush is starting under center for the Cowboys, but his Week 11 production shows why he should stay in all starting fantasy lineups if he's active.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Ferguson suffered a concussion early in the Monday night loss to the Houston Texans and was ruled out quickly. Head coach Mike McCarthy said on Tuesday that Ferguson is fighting an uphill battle to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers should be putting the 25-year-old on their benches this week while hoping he'll be able to return to play in the annual Thanksgiving game against the division-rival New York Giants. Backup Luke Schoonmaker stepped in for six catches on 10 targets for 56 yards against Houston, and he could be worth a look as a TE2 streamer in fantasy if you're desperate at the position in Week 12.
