Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Malik Nabers (groin) is expected to play in Week 12 against the Bucs.

Nabers was a late addition to the injury report this week before being listed as questionable because of the groin issue. He told reporters on Friday he intends to play. The groin issue has previously popped up for Nabers but has yet to cost him any playing time. That should hold true through Week 12. Nabers is a far less appealing fantasy option with Tommy Devito under center but should still be treated as a volume-based WR2 versus the Bucs.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bears are confident D’Andre Swift (groin) will play in Week 12 against the Vikings.

Swift missed Wednesday’s practice with the groin issue but was back on the field for the following session. The team listed him as questionable after a full practice on Friday. A full session to close the week typically means a player is good to go, so this was always the expectation. With Roschon Johnson emerging as a 1B to Swift, the latter has to be treated as an RB3 in a tough matchup with the Vikings.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 12 against the Giants.

Evans reportedly planned to play in Week 12 as early as Monday and was a full participant in practice by Thursday. However, the Bucs downgraded him to a limited practice on Friday before listing him as questionable. Head coach Todd Bowles also hedged Evans’ status by saying, “We’ll play him as long as he’s healthy and fresh.” It sounds like Bowles and the team were just being cautious. Evans should be good to go for Week 12, putting him in the WR2 mix for the first time since he aggravated his lingering hamstring injury in Week 7.
Brock Purdy

SF Quarterback #13

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the 49ers believe Brock Purdy (shoulder) “should be able to return” in Week 13 against the Bills.

Even Schefter, who is presumably getting this info from a source inside the 49ers’ building, had to add some words of caution to his report. He noted, “Then again, they also thought he would be able to start today at Green Bay before he couldn’t.” Kyle Shanahan and the entire 49ers organization have made a habit of downplaying the severity of injuries this year, so it can’t be taken for granted that Purdy will be back next week. Assuming Brandon Allen can’t pull off the upset versus Green Bay today, San Francisco’s Week 13 matchup with the Bills could be a make-or-break game as they fall behind in the NFC West.
Rashod Bateman

BAL Wide Receiver #7

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was removed from the team’s Week 12 injury report and will play against the Chargers.

Bateman was added to the injury report as a ‘DNP’ Friday but was listed as a full participant in the team’s Saturday walkthrough, ultimately removing any game status against the Chargers. Expect the veteran field stretcher to be on the field on Monday night.
Ladd McConkey

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is questionable for Week 12 against the Ravens.

McConkey managed just one limited session in preparation for the team’s Week 12 game against the Ravens in the Harbaugh Bowl after sustaining a shoulder injury in Week 11. Final determination of McConkey’s status will come 90 minutes prior to the team’s Monday Night Football kickoff, meaning fantasy managers may want to consider alternate options for Week 12.
Brandin Cooks

DAL Wide Receiver #3

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (knee) was not activated from injured reserve and will not play in Week 12 against the Commanders.

Cooks saw his 21-day practice window opened prior to Week 11 but managed only limited showings in practice this week, ultimately failing to do enough on the practice field to warrant a return to the active roster ahead of the team’s Week 12 game against the Commanders. The Cowboys are in a complete state of disarray with tight end Jake Ferguson also ruled out after sustaining his second concussion of the season in Week 11 and alpha wide receiver CeeDee Lamb struggling through multiple injuries, including a painful AC joint sprain.
Aaron Rodgers

NYJ Quarterback #8

Aaron Rodgers wants to play for another team in 2025, according to Dianna Russini of the Athletic.

Russini cites conversations with sources with the Jets and around the league in her reporting. This comes on the heels of an ESPN report that indicated Rodgers likely wouldn’t be back with the Jets in 2025 under a new regime. With a new front office and head coach, it only makes sense that the organization will be moving on from the 40-year-old quarterback. The question remains of what team would be willing to acquire the former four-time MVP after an unequivocally disastrous stint in New York.
Brandon Allen

SF Quarterback #17

Brandon Allen will start for the 49ers in Week 12 against the Packers.

Brock Purdy missed Friday’s practice and is out with a shoulder injury for Week 12. Allen’s last start came for the Bengals in 2021. He entered the lineup for a meaningless Week 18 game and threw for 136 yards and a touchdown on 29 attempts. Kyle Shanahan has had the magic touch when it comes to squeezing every last ounce of efficiency out of backup quarterbacks and that will be put to the test versus Green Bay. Allen is worth stashing in Superflex leagues but is barely on the QB2 radar in his first start of the year.
Alexander Mattison

LV Running Back #22

Alexander Mattison (ankle) is doubtful for Week 12 against the Broncos.

Zamir White is also doubtful, meaning Ameer Abdullah should draw the start. Abdullah hasn’t seen double-digit carries since 2017, so we should get plenty of Dylan Laube touches as well. As underdogs to a stout Denver defense, this isn’t a great spot for either running back, but there are touches up for grabs. Abdullah enters the weekend as a low-end RB3 while Laube is a dart-throw RB4.
