The Tennessee Titans signed wide receiver Stanley Morgan to their practice squad on Tuesday. Morgan was let go by the New Orleans Saints at the end of August in training camp after he signed with the team back in March. The 28-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Nebraska made his NFL debut in 2019 with the Cincinnati Bengals and played all five of his NFL seasons with the organization, totaling just five receptions on 15 targets for 29 yards in 51 games played (one start). He appeared in three games with Cincy last year but wasn't targeted at all on offense. In Tennessee, he'll likely stay on the practice squad unless an injury to the receiving corps forces him onto the active 53-man roster. Morgan remains far from the fantasy radar.

Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones officially cleared waivers on Monday and is an unrestricted free agent and is free to sign with any team. Jones prefers to sign with a playoff contender, with potential destinations being the Baltimore Ravens or Minnesota Vikings, according to sources. He has reportedly already eliminated the Las Vegas Raiders, who just lost quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) for the rest of the season, as an option. A team would have had to claim the balance of Jones' contract ($11,833,333) for this year and the $23 million in injury guarantees after this season if they wanted him off waivers. The former sixth overall pick in the 2019 out of Duke spent six seasons with the Giants and really only had one solid season in the first year with Brian Daboll as head coach in 2022. Jones will likely have to serve in a backup role if he signs with a contender.

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was removed from the commissioner's exempt list on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty in October to charges including strangulation and drug possession, the NFL announced. Peppers will now be eligible to participate in all team activities, including games. His attorney told a judge that Peppers had rejected a $10.5 million demand made by the plaintiff in connection with a possible lawsuit. A jury trial has been scheduled for Jan. 22. The 29-year-old will return to practice this week and could be active on Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. According to police, a woman alleged that Peppers hit her, choked her "at least six times," took off her clothing and put her outside. He's in his third season with the Pats and eighth season overall in the NFL. In four games in 2024, Peppers has 23 tackles (11 solo), one pick and two pass breakups.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) will return to practice this week. However, McVay indicated that it's unlikely that Higbee will be available to make his 2024 debut on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The Rams are opening Higbee's 21-day practice window to return from the Physically Unable to Perform list after he tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in the playoff game against the Detroit Lions back on Jan. 14. The 31-year-old is finally ready to return to the practice field, but it might take him a little bit before the Rams are comfortable using him in a game. And when he is finally active on game day, both Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen could continue to have roles as the Rams ease Higbee back in. Higbee should eventually take over as LA's starting tight end, but fantasy managers should temper expectations.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman may have saved the week for fantasy managers who were forced to pick him up due to bye weeks. In the 30-23 win over the Chargers, Bateman finished with two receptions for 43 yards and one touchdown on three targets. Most of his yards, 40 to be exact, came on one play when Lamar Jackson threw a great ball that only Bateman could get to. As he had a defender draped on him, he still hauled it in for the touchdown. This marks the fifth touchdown of the season for Bateman which is more than his first three seasons combined. He'll look to make another big play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers wasn't able to find the end zone against the Chargers on Monday night but led the team in receiving yards. He notched 62 yards on five receptions and eight targets which was tied for most catches and number one in targets. In half-PPR formats, this put him right outside of WR2 territory, making it a disappointing week in fantasy terms. His next chance to bounce back will be against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews returned to the scoring column in the Monday night victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran finished the game with five receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown on five targets. He even saw fewer snaps than he did against Pittsburgh but saw five targets compared to Isaiah Likely's goose egg. Despite his struggles this year, Andrews is now the TE6 on the season in half-PPR formats. He'll look to score again in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry found plenty of room against the Chargers in the 30-23 primetime victory. The King registered 24 carries for 140 yards, but he ended his touchdown streak at 11 games as he didn't find the end zone in this one. Henry also wasn't involved in the passing game at all. He still saw 60% of the offensive snaps and the Ravens look unstoppable when he gets at least 20 carries. He'll look to carry this momentum over to a tough matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill notched his first rushing touchdown of the season during the team's 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The change-of-pace back ended the game with four carries for 55 yards and a score to go along with two receptions for seven yards on two targets. Hill has averaged just over 15 rushing yards per game this year compared to 25.6 receiving. Midway through the fourth quarter, Hill found room on the left edge and raced past everyone for a 51-yard touchdown, the longest of his career. He'll take on the stout Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson started Monday Night Football in a slower fashion but bounced back in a big way after a down week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the Harbaugh-bowl, Jackson finished with 177 yards and two scores on 16-for-22 throwing while adding eight carries for 15 yards and another touchdown. The ground game dominated this game, but Jackson capitalized on some fantastic throws to Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews. He ended up as the QB8 which marks his tenth week in QB1 territory. He'll go up against one of the top defenses in the league in Week 13 as they go home to face the Philadelphia Eagles.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) will be named the starter ahead of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. O'Connell is currently on injured reserve, but we previously heard that the Raiders would designate him to return on Tuesday. The young Purdue product has been sidelined since Week 7 but now takes over the reins of the offense from Gardner Minshew II and Desmond Ridder, who have both produced subpar results in their respective appearances. O'Connell hasn't fared a whole lot better, throwing for 455 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions through four games. However, he gives the Raiders a new look under center and a chance to inject some life into Vegas' 2-9 squad.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan that he wouldn't rule out giving a contract extension to head coach Mike McCarthy. "I don't think [an extension] is crazy at all," Jones said. "This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left." Jones' comments seem to differ from the general feeling around the NFL that McCarthy is very much on the hot seat. The Cowboys are 4-7 this year and, although they won last Sunday, could end up limping to the finish line with Cooper Rush under center. McCarthy owns a 42-36 record through nearly five years in Dallas. His team has made three playoff appearances, including two Wild Card losses and a Divisional Round loss. He hasn't made a Conference Championship since 2016 with the Green Bay Packers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will not face charges for an October traffic stop during which he possessed a gun without a valid concealed pistol license, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard. "Case law is silent regarding the specific issue and the legislative intent of the concealed pistol license statute does not support charges under these facts," according to the Wayne County prosecutor's office (via Woodyard's ESPN article). Barring any unforeseen developments, Williams will be able to put this incident behind him and prepare for the final stretch of the NFL season. He has been productive as the Lions' No. 2 receiver, catching 29 passes for 602 yards and four touchdowns through nine games. He remains a weekly WR3/FLEX option.

Dallas Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) has a shot at playing in Week 13 against the New York Giants. He has been sidelined since Sept. 26 after suffering a knee injury in the first meeting on a Thursday night in Week 4 against the Giants.

Fantasy Spin: If Cooks is able to play on Thanksgiving, he could have some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, but consider him nothing more than WR5 in most formats. He needs to prove his health in a full game before he can be trusted again. Remember, as he works his way back, his QB is now Cooper Rush, not Dak Prescott, so he has to build some rapport, too.

Houston Texans SS Jimmie Ward is expected to be plugged into the starting lineup in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in place of the injured S Jalen Pitre (pectoral). Ward stepped in during the Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans after Pitre went down, and Ward recorded a 65-yard interception return for touchdown.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Monday morning after police officers pulled him over for traveling over 100 miles per hour, according to Clayton Holloway of NFL Media. Robinson's arrest came mere hours after his Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The veteran receiver caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in the defeat. Following his arrest, he was cited and released to a responsible party. As of now, it's unclear if there will be any legal developments stemming from this incident. Fantasy managers should monitor Robinson's status ahead of Week 13 versus the New Orleans Saints.

Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darius Robinson (calf) is on track to make his NFL debut in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Robinson has been sidelined since training camp. The rookie has not yet appeared in an NFL game, but it sounds like he's very close to being 100 percent. Robinson will provide a major boost to the Cardinals' defensive front, which has been particularly strong against the run so far in 2024.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) will be designated to return from injured reserve on Tuesday, head coach Antonio Pierce told the media. The Purdue product has been sidelined since Week 7 after injuring his thumb while making contact with a defender. Prior to that point, he had completed 52 passes for 455 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions through parts of four games. O'Connell will likely claim the starting role upon his return given that the Raiders have gotten poor results from both Gardner Minshew II and Desmond Ridder lately. With that said, O'Connell isn't a major upgrade and should still be viewed as a low-end fantasy QB2, at best.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (undisclosed) did not appear on the team's initial injury report for Week 13. DeVito was banged up during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had to leave the game for one play, but he returned to the contest and is now trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. DeVito did struggle in his first start of the 2024 campaign, completing 21 of his 31 pass attempts for 189 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He took four sacks but did make up some ground with his 32 rushing yards. The 26-year-old ranks as a fantasy QB3 for Week 13, even with a favorable matchup against the Cowboys on tap.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had a rough performance in a Week 12 loss against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Johnston was targeted five times and came up with zero catches for zero yards. Several of the balls thrown his way were placed perfectly by quarterback Justin Herbert, but Johnston regressed to his rookie year drop issues, where passes thrown right at his chest in clearly open ground with no defenders nearby turn into incomplete passes. Johnston was expected to have a big game, as the Ravens defense has struggled all year against similar wide receivers, but QJ ended up with a zero. He's almost sure to do a little better in Week 13 when the Chargers take on the Atlanta Falcons.
