Danny Amendola (hamstring) is questionable for Week 12.

Amendola is expected to play on Sunday, but fantasy owners might be better off looking elsewhere with the Dolphins kicking off at 4:25 PM ET. If he does play, Amendola takes a slight hit with Ryan Tannehill back under center.

Kenyan Drake doesn’t carry an injury designation for Sunday’s game against the Colts.

Drake was limited in practice this week, but he will be available this weekend in a matchup between 5-5 teams. The Alabama product will be a big-play FLEX option and a better fantasy play than Frank Gore, but the veteran taking over as the clear early-down runner obviously hurts Drake.

Tom Brady (knee/illness) is listed as questionable for Week 12.

Brady didn’t practice on Friday, which drew some concern, but it would be a surprise if he wasn’t out there on Sunday as New England looks to get back on track against the Jets. If he plays, Brady should be in lineups as a solid QB1, but if he’s inactive, the other fantasy options for the Patriots obviously need to be downgraded, and Brian Hoyer wouldn’t be anything more than a low-end QB2 option.

Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back) is officially listed as questionable for Week 12.

Gronkowski is fully expected to return to the lineup after nearly a month of not playing, and he declared himself “ready to roll” earlier today. The good news is the Patriots play in the early games on Sunday, so even a potential surprise about the All-Pro tight end’s status will be known by 11:30 AM ET.

Melvin Gordon (hamstring/knee) is officially listed as questionable for Week 12.

Gordon was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice before he was a limited participant the last two days, and he’s looking like a game-time decision to face the Broncos. We lean toward Gordon suiting up on Sunday, but the team might ultimately take a cautious approach if he’s not close enough to 100% and could risk further injury. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, the Chargers don’t kickoff until the late-afternoon games, so Gordon’s status might not be known until after the 1:00 PM ET games have kicked off. Check back Sunday for the star running back’s official game status, and be sure to have a backup plan in case he cannot play.

Doug Martin doesn’t carry an injury designation for Sunday’s game against the Ravens.

This confirms that Martin’s ankle issue wasn’t considered serious, but fantasy owners hopefully have other options this week against a tough Baltimore front, especially since Jon Gruden might want another extended look at DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard.

Alex Collins (foot) is questionable for Week 12.

Collins returned to practice today after not participating earlier in the week, and while it sounds like he should be good to go against the Raiders, he can’t be trusted as anything more than a dicey FLEX option after Gus Edwards took over the backfield in Lamar Jackson’s first start. Those planning to roll with Collins anyway should check back on Sunday morning to see if the 24-year-old is active.
