Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has at least seven catches in each of his last three games and is coming off a big game last week against the Titans. He had nine catches on 10 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown, while working with Davis Mills since C.J. Stroud (concussion) is still sidelined. Stroud will be absent for a third straight week when the Texans host the Bills on Thursday Night Football, but Collins continues to get plenty of volume, drawing double-digit targets in each of his four games since the team's Week 6 Bye Week. Since he brings big play potential and also gets consistent work, Collins is ranked as the No. 7 WR in RotoBaller's ranking in a neutral matchup against Buffalo.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) would not practice on Wednesday, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. As of right now, Horton is trending toward missing a third straight game with multiple injuries. Even if the 22-year-old fifth-round selection out of Colorado State returns to practice on Thursday and Friday and is cleared to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, it's going to be much harder for him to stand out on offense now that Cooper Kupp is healthy again and after the team acquired deep threat Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. It's quite possible that Horton's high-water mark will end up being his four-catch, 48-yard, two-touchdown performance on Nov. 2 against the Washington Commanders, which just so happens to be the last time he played.

The San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent kicker Matt Gay to their practice squad on Wednesday and released wide receiver Russell Gage Jr. from their practice squad in a corresponding move, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain in the Week 11 win over the Arizona Cardinals and is not expected to be available to kick this coming Monday night against the Carolina Panthers. Gay was just waived by the Washington Commanders on Monday after missing two kicks in a three-point loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Madrid. The 31-year-old veteran looks like he'll be the 49ers' short-term replacement at place kicker with Pineiro injured, but fantasy managers should be looking to stay away. The seven-year veteran has been inconsistent, making 13 of his 19 field-goal tries in 10 games, including going 4-for-9 from 50-plus yards out.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 19 due to the knee injury he picked up in Week 11.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has devolved to a low-end TE2 in most fantasy leagues after a strong 2024 campaign. Rookie Harold Fannin Jr. has carved a nice role in the offense, pushing Njoku to the backburner. Njoku should be retained only in deeper leagues at this point.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers hopes to be able to practice in the next day or two, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation. He is not posting great numbers this season but can be a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues if he plays.

Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel (concussion), TE David Njoku (knee) and DE Alex Wright (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 19. OG Joel Bitonio (rest), DT Maliek Collins (rest), OT Jack Conklin (knee), DE Myles Garrett (rest), OT Cam Robinson (knee) and CB Denzel Ward Jr. (rest) were listed as limited participants, while S Grant Delpit (elbow) was a full participant.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist), RB Jaylen Warren (ankle), LB Alex Highsmith (pectoral), TE Jonnu Smith (non-injury), LB T.J. Watt (non-injury) and DE Cameron Heyward (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19. OG Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) and WR Ke'Shawn Williams (concussion) were limited during practice. CB Darius Slay (concussion) and LB Cole Holcomb (illness) fully participated in practice.

Tennessee Titans WR Elic Ayomanor (hamstring), CB Darrell Baker (knee), S Kendell Brooks (concussion), DT Jeffery Simmons (hamstring), RB Tyjae Spears (non-injury), S Xavier Woods (hamstring) and OG Kevin Zeitler (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19. TE Chig Okonkwo (foot) and LB Jihad Ward (non-injury) were limited during practice. LB Joe Bachie (ankle), WR Chimere Dike (chest) and RB Kalel Mullings (ankle) fully participated in practice.

Jacksonville Jaguars LB Yasir Abdullah (finger) and DE Travon Walker (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 19. DT Arik Armstead (illness), RB Travis Etienne (shoulder), LB Dennis Gardeck (chest), OL Anton Harrison (knee, ankle), CB Jarrian Jones (quadriceps), CB Jourdan Lewis (neck), TE Hunter Long (hip, knee), OL Patrick Mekari (knee), OL Wyatt Milum (knee), CB Greg Newsome II (ankle), TE Brenton Strange (hip), WR Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle), RB Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) and S Andrew Wingard (back)

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Tyler Higbee (ankle) will go on Injured Reserve, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Higbee will be forced to miss at least the next four games. The earliest he'll be available to return for the Rams will be for their Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 32-year-old wasn't really moving the fantasy needle much before his ankle injury, catching 20 of his 30 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns for L.A. in nine games played (seven starts). With Higbee now out of the picture for the foreseeable future, all three of Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson, and Davis Allen could see more targets, with Ferguson being the most attractive flier for fantasy managers in TE-premium leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis), RB Samaje Perine (ankle), OG Jalen Rivers (ankle, knee), DE Cameron Sample (oblique) and CB Cam Taylor-Britt (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19. QB Joe Flacco (shoulder) and DE Cedric Johnson (ankle) were limited during practice. S Daijahn Anthony (hamstring), QB Joe Burrow (toe), WR Jermaine Burton (illness), TE Mike Gesicki (pectoral) and DE Joseph Ossai (ankle) fully participated in practice.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to an ankle injury that he suffered late in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Backfield mate Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) was also injured on Sunday, which likely played a part in Tuten's career day. The 23-year-old had season-highs across the board in snap percentage (32%), rushing attempts (15), and rushing yards (74) while scoring his third touchdown of the year. Etienne and Tuten appear to be trending toward both playing this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, but Tuten's impressive performance against the Bolts might have earned him a bigger share of the backfield pie going forward. Tuten is only rostered in 37% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available and is worth a pickup with another good matchup on tap.

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Flacco (shoulder) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Fantasy Spin: Flacco has been the starting quarterback for the last several weeks, but his role in the Week 12 is uncertain at this point with Joe Burrow practicing. Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation because Flacco can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues if he receives another start.

From TheHuddle

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) is on the Week 12 injury report and was limited in Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury. Both Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) are a little banged up coming out of Sunday's blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but the fact that they were both able to practice on Wednesday is a good sign that they will be available this weekend on the road in Las Vegas against the Raiders. Tuten played a season-high 32% of the offensive snaps in Week 11 and carried the ball a season-high 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown, but that may have had something to do with Etienne's shoulder injury. Etienne played a season-low 49% of snaps but still saw 19 carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns in a run-heavy game script. The two backs could have more of an even split in another plus matchup in Week 12 against the Raiders if they are active.

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (ankle), S Kyle Hamilton (groin, shoulder), QB Lamar Jackson (ankle), TE Isaiah Likely (calf), CB Keyon Martin (rib), LB Roquan Smith (hamstring), OT Ronnie Stanley (illness) and OG Andrew Vorhees (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19. CB Marlon Humphrey (finger) was limited during practice, while RB Justice Hill (toe) fully participated in practice.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is still dealing with an ankle issue coming out of the team's bye and was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara has been a mainstay on the team's injury report ever since injuring his ankle in early October, but he hasn't missed any games. The 30-year-old's status bears watching heading into a Week 12 game this Sunday against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, but he should be able to suit up. Negative game script certainly hasn't helped Kamara's cause in 2025, as he's averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per tote on 128 rushing attempts for 460 yards and just one touchdown in 10 games. The five-time Pro Bowler did have a season-high 22 carries for 83 yards on the ground in the Week 10 win over the Panthers, though. In a bad Saints offense, Kamara has become more of a high-end RB3/flex play.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (calf) was held out of Wednesday's practice with a calf issue, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Likely is dealing with a calf injury as the team prepares to face the New York Jets in Week 12 this Sunday, and the 25-year-old is now up in the air to play unless he can return to practice on Thursday or Friday. Likely missed some time early this year due to injury and just has not been able to get on a roll so far in 2025. He caught just two passes on three targets for 15 yards in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns and has only 12 receptions for 118 yards and no touchdowns on 16 targets in seven games played. Receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) still isn't practicing and could miss another game as well. If Likely is out or limited this weekend, fellow TE Mark Andrews would be firmly in play as a TE1 in fantasy football.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Fantasy Spin: Jackson is expected to return to practice later in the week, but fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation. He is coming off a disappointing Week 11 performance but should still be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has played a reduced role in the last few weeks, and it's hard to trust him this Thursday night, even in a favorable matchup against the Bills. Chubb played only 18 snaps (26%) in Week 11 against the Titans and had just three carries for 17 yards. It was his lowest number of carries in any game this season, and his third time in the last five weeks with five carries or fewer. The Bills allow the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs in the NFL, but it will likely be Woody Marks that gets most of the work in Week 12. Chubb has dropped to RB42 in RotoBaller's rankings and is not much more than an injury handcuff for Marks at this point in the season.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III has earned a bigger role on offense going forward, according to head coach Ben Johnson. "You get what you earn. And I think he's earned the increased snaps," Johnson said. Burden only played 44% of the offensive snaps in the Week 11 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but it was only the second time all year he has played over 40% of the snaps, and they have come in back-to-back weeks. The 21-year-old pass-catcher caught three of his five targets against Minnesota for 27 yards. The second-rounder out of Missouri has six grabs on eight targets the last two weeks for 78 yards. Burden has been inconsistent in his first year in the NFL in an offense with plenty of mouths to feed, but it sounds as though he'll have a chance to jump DJ Moore for the WR2 in Chicago before the year is over. Fantasy managers looking for WR depth could do worse than Burden. He's rostered in only 9% of Yahoo leagues.
