Fantasy News

Brandin Cooks cleared the concussion protocol and will play in Week 12.

This is obviously great news for both Cooks’ health and fantasy owners, as the Rams don’t play until Monday night. A matchup against the Ravens combined with a run-heavy approach by Los Angeles will make Cooks more of a volatile FLEX option than upside WR2, but he’s worth inserting back into lineups.

Matthew Stafford (back) will not play in Week 12.

This was fully expected. Stafford is now missing his third consecutive game with his back injury, but he says he definitely wants to play again this season. The veteran quarterback remains week-to-week and needs to get the “OK” from doctors before he’s cleared to return to the field. Given his rushing potential, Jeff Driskel isn’t a bad fantasy option against the Redskins this week.

The Lions placed Nick Bawden on injured reserve.

Bawden has unfortunately now had each of his first two years in the NFL ended by knee injuries that landed him on injured reserve. Detroit should add another fullback to the roster soon.

Keke Coutee is inactive for Week 12.

With Will Fuller (hamstring) back in the lineup for the Texans, Coutee is now a healthy scratch. This has been quite the fall for the second-year receiver this season, as Deshaun Watson said during the offseason that the team needs to get the ball to Coutee often. The coaching staff clearly doesn’t trust Coutee right now.

Will Fuller (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 12.

Fuller is looking like a true game-time call for tomorrow night against the Colts, so check back in at around 6:50 PM ET on Thursday for the speedy receiver’s status.

Will Fuller (hamstring) is officially active for Week 12.

Fuller has missed the previous three games (four weeks) with his hamstring injury initially suffered against the Colts back in Week 7, and now he’s back in the lineup to face Indy again tonight. Fuller is just a FLEX option in his first game back for Houston.

Diontae Johnson (concussion) practiced fully today.

Johnson is on track to play this Sunday against the Bengals after suffering a concussion last Thursday night. We’ll let you know if/how the rookie receiver is listed on the final Week 12 injury report when it’s released Friday, but he should be good to go this weekend.
