The Lions are waiving Marvin Hall.

Hall had over 100 yards just recently, so this release is a bit puzzling. The Lions will apparently go with younger options at the position over the final five games, while Hall could be an intriguing pickup for a contender.

Robert Griffin III (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve.

RGIII battled through a hamstring injury suffered at the end of the first half of Wednesday’s loss to Pittsburgh, but he was pulled late for Trace McSorley. The team is hopeful that Lamar Jackson (reserve/COVID-19 list) will be eligible to play next Tuesday night; if not, McSorley would draw the start and can be an upside streamer because of his dual-threat ability in a good matchup.

J.K. Dobbins has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

This was fully expected, and Dobbins will be back on Tuesday for a great matchup against Dallas. The rookie started to be featured a couple of weeks ago, so we are optimistic about him as a top-15 option in 0.5 PPR leagues for Week 13.

Zach Ertz is off the injury report and will play in Week 13.

We expect Dallas Geodert will continue to be the preferred fantasy option out of the Philadelphia tight ends (particularly due to his touchdown upside), and Ertz is more of a TE2 based on his production when healthy earlier this year. That said, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Carson Wentz immediately lock onto his favorite target as he hopes to get out of a slump, and Ertz should at least be rostered ahead of the fantasy playoffs.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is questionable for Week 13.

The illness is not related to COVID-19, but Edwards-Helaire missed practice on Thursday and Friday, so it’s certainly notable with the Chiefs not playing until Sunday night. Ideally, we will hear something by Sunday morning about CEH’s status, but fantasy owners should be prepared to have a backup plan in case he’s kept out; remember, there are two games on Monday and one on Tuesday this week.

Danny Amendola is off the Week 13 injury report.

Amendola will return to the lineup this Sunday against the Bears, and his presence will be a boost for Matthew Stafford and the Lions offense. The veteran receiver is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups in his first game back, though.

D’Andre Swift (illness) is officially listed as questionable for Week 13.

Swift has cleared concussion protocol, but teammate Adrian Peterson noted that the rookie hasn’t been himself lately. We hope Swift is feeling OK. Swift’s status will be known by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday, so check back in then.
