New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Newton’s injury doesn’t appear to be serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 13 against the Chargers. The 31-year-old former MVP was just 9-for-18 passing for 84 yards and two interceptions in the Week 12 win over the Cardinals. He added nine carries for 46 yards. Newton’s rushing ability gives

The Houston Texans activated the 21-day practice window for running back David Johnson (concussion) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It means that Johnson could technically return for the Week 13 matchup with the Colts, but that would be wishful thinking by his fantasy managers. The 28-year-old has been out since Week 9, and the Texans are just hoping that he can return sometime

Houston Texans running back C.J. Prosise (illness) did not take part in practice on Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. Prosise had a season-high five carries for 12 yards and caught a two-yard pass for a touchdown in the Thanksgiving win over the Lions last week as the backup to Duke Johnson. He saw some notable work in the red zone in Week 12 and

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Allen Lazard (core) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) and safety Darnell Savage (back) were limited practice participants on Wednesday. Lazard saw a bigger role in his second game back from core muscle surgery and found the end zone, but he had just 23 receiving yards. He returned to the game after being banged up, giving him a good chance to

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) was limited in practice on Wednesday after sitting out of the Week 12 loss to the Browns. Chark seems to be on the right track to return this Sunday against the Vikings and their suspect secondary, but can you trust him in fantasy lineups with quarterback Mike Glennon under center for the second straight week? To be

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle), wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle), safety Johnathan Abram (knee) and cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion, neck) did not practice on Wednesday. Jacobs’ status will be one to watch this week. He’ll be a no-doubt, must-start fantasy back if he’s active against the winless Jets, but his status shouldn’t be taken for granted after getting injured in the blowout

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jeudy was on the injury report last week but was taken off on Friday. He’ll be fine to play this weekend against the Chiefs unless he suffers a setback. Denver’s entire offense struggled in Week 12 when they were forced to start a practice-squad wide receiver at quarterback, so Jeudy should

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) wasn’t able to practice on Wednesday. Lindsay left the Week 12 blowout loss to the Saints early with a knee injury after carrying the ball nine times for just 20 yards. The 26-year-old has become a low-ceiling RB3/4 in an inconsistent Broncos offense while sharing carries with Melvin Gordon III. Lindsay’s lack of involvement in the passing game

The Denver Broncos activated defensive end Shelby Harris from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and placed cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Callahan will be out at least three weeks. Denver claimed safety Will Parks, who was drafted by Denver in 2016, so he’s an option to take over for Callaway in the slot. Harris is recovered from COVID-19, but

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (ankle, foot) and running back Todd Gurley II (knee) were all limited practice participants on Wednesday. Jones and Gurley didn’t play in the Week 12 win over the Raiders, so their participation on Wednesday is a good sign that they’ll have a chance to suit up in Week 13 against the Saints. The 31-year-old Jones

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (knee), cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (knee) and defensive end Jeffery Simmons (knee) all missed practice on Wednesday. Smith really put his fantasy managers in a tough spot in Week 12 with zero targets in the passing game against the Colts. He has plenty of pass-catching talent, but his floor is really low if he continues to be used a lot

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (concussion) returned to practice on Wednesday. Humphries has a chance to return in Week 13 against the Browns after sitting out since Week 9 with a head injury. The 27-year-old is the No. 3 receiver in this offense when healthy, behind A.J. Brown and Corey Davis. Humphries has only 22 catches on 31 targets for 219 yards and two

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has cooled off from his MVP pace over the last four weeks, but he’s got a chance to reignite those flames in Week 13 against the New York Giants. The Giants feature one of the league’s better passing defenses, as they’ve allowed just 15.5 points per game to the quarterback position. Wilson’s outlook isn’t perfect for this game, but he

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Stafford played through his thumb injury on Thanksgiving Day, so there should be no reason to expect him to miss Week 13’s contest against the Bears. He did very little against the Texans, though, going 28-for-42 for 295 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Chicago’s defense was torched by Aaron Rodgers last

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Rivers missed some practice time last week but managed to play in the Week 12 loss to the Titans, so he shouldn’t be in danger of sitting out Week 13 against the Texans. The veteran gunslinger started the year off slow with the Colts, but

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense played well in a 19-14 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12. Pittsburgh managed three sacks and forced two turnovers, one of which was an interception which Joe Haden returned 14 yards for a touchdown. The Steelers benefitted from facing backup quarterback Robert Griffin III instead of reigning league MVP Lamar Jackson but fantasy gamers who started them won’t complain.

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (shoulder, toe) and Darius Slayton (foot, shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players appear to be on track to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks unless they encounter setbacks, but all Giants pass-catchers will have to be downgraded this weekend if Colt McCoy starts under center instead of Daniel Jones (hamstring). Shepard has seen

Initial tests on Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree (knee) on Wednesday indicated a torn ACL, according to sources. If additional tests confirm the injury, Dupree is expected to miss the rest of the season. It would be a massive loss for Pittsburgh’s defense and for Dupree, who is playing the 2020 season on the franchise tag. He can become a free agent after this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron caught seven of 11 targets for 54 yards in a 19-14 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12. Ebron wound up leading the team in receiving in a sloppy Wednesday afternoon game that was originally scheduled to be played on Thanksgiving but had to be postponed several times thanks to a COVID-19 outbreak on the Ravens. Ebron has

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III (leg) was replaced in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s loss to the Steelers by Trace McSorley, and Griffin’s leg was wrapped on the sideline after he appeared to tweak his hamstring on a run earlier in the game. The former second overall pick by Washington was just 7-for-12 for 33 yards and a pick-six against Pittsburgh before leaving the
