Giovani Bernard (concussion) is officially active for the Bengals.

Bernard was able to progress through the concussion protocol and get full clearance ahead of today’s Week 12 matchup with the Giants. The matchup isn’t an easy one, but Bernard should get a solid number of touches and will probably be in most fantasy lineups today.

Kalen Ballage (ankle/calf) is officially inactive for Week 12.

Ballage was banged up at the beginning of last week’s game, and he’ll now be out today against the Bills. Fortunately for the Chargers, Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is back after missing the past six games.

Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is officially active for the Chargers.

After missing the past six games with the serious hamstring injury, Ekeler is back for the first time since Week 4. Ekeler is not expected to be placed in the bellcow role immediately in his return, but the dynamic runner is still a strong Week 12 fantasy option and doesn’t need many touches to do a lot of damage.

Julio Jones (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 12.

Jones would obviously like to be out there with his teammates, but the Falcons are opting to hold him out after he was in and out of the game last week because of the hamstring issue. Atlanta might not play Jones again until he’s clearly 100%, so consider the All-Pro week-to-week for now.

Mark Andrews tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for Week 12.

Andrews is another headlining player that will be out for Baltimore, and we hope he will make a full recovery if he has the virus, especially considering he has type 1 Diabetes. Luke Willson could see most of the snaps at tight end on Tuesday night.

Jalen Hurts has been taking first-team reps in practice, according to multiple reports.

Carson Wentz remains the starter in Philadelphia, but head coach Doug Pederson was shaky in this week’s press conferences when pushed about a change potentially being made (in-game or otherwise), and Hurts getting reps with the starters—which takes them away from Wentz—is certainly notable. At 3-6-1 and with a very difficult upcoming schedule, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Eagles turn to Hurts as the starter if he shows well in limited action. This news should knock down Wentz a bit in the QB2 rankings, and Hurts is worth picking up in superflex leagues if still available.

The 49ers officially activated Raheem Mostert (ankle) from injured reserve.

Mostert missed the past four games with his ankle issue, and he’s set to make his return tomorrow against the Rams. Despite the tough matchup, Mostert is immediately in the startable mix for Week 12 fantasy lineups.
