Krull mixed in for one first-team-offense snap, playing behind starter Adam Trautman (0 targets) and Greg Dulcich (who caught 1-of-2 targets for 5 yards). Should the Broncos continue their tight end quagmire, none of the three will be fantasy-relevant.

It’s been a long time coming for Brooks, who was the first running back selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Panthers activated Brooks from the reserve/NFI list on November 6th but opted not to play him in Week 10. He had an extra week to recover during the team’s Week 11 bye, but is now expected to be active for Week 12’s game against the Chiefs. Brooks will eat into Chuba Hubbard’s workload going forward, but it’s hard to know how much of a dent he’ll make early on. Hubbard is fresh off signing a four-year contract extension with the Panthers, an indication that they still plan to utilize him at a high rate in the coming years. Fantasy managers who have stashed Brooks all season will soon be rewarded for their patience, but he’s best left on fantasy benches until we get a better sense on how the team plans to use him.

Wilson played a season-low nine defensive snaps in the Patriots’ Week 11 loss to the Rams. The fourth-year corner was claimed off waivers by the Patriots last December and has played on 206 defensive snaps this season while earning a PFF coverage grade of 51.2. Wilson has 54 games of playing experience under his belt and has made 37 starts. It wouldn’t be surprising if he was picked up by another team in the coming days.

It was reported earlier that the move to DeVito was coming, but Daboll confirmed it during Monday’s press conference. The move to DeVito all but ends Jones’ time with the Giants, as the team now looks get through the season before heading into an offseason that’s expected to be full of changes. DeVito threw for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions last season, but took a whopping 37 sacks in his nine games played. DeVito is unlikely to be a noticeable upgrade over Jones, but the bar has been set so low, that it’s hard to imagine him being much worse.

Davis continues to play a reduced role in Buffalo’s offense, as he’s now seen six or fewer carries in five straight games. Davis’ one big game came in Week 6 against the Jets when James Cook was sidelined with an injury. Davis remains a high-end handcuff but has no stand-alone fantasy value at this time.

Jones has started every game for the Browns this season and played his last three games at left tackle. In just his second season, Jones has allowed four sacks on 22 pressures while playing on 345 pass-blocking snaps. While his 2024 season is now over, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jones is expected to make a full recovery to be ready in time for 2025.

Mooney exited in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Broncos and did not return to the field. The veteran receiver has turned in a solid season for the Falcons thus far, catching 48 passes for 711 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 14.8 YPR. The Falcons now enter their Week 12 bye, so it’s possible he’ll have enough time to recover in time for Week 13’s game against Chargers. We’ll likely have more information on his availability closer to next week.

Monday was a bonus practice for the Buccaneers, who are coming off their Week 11 bye. Per ESPN’s Jenna Laine, Evans told her that he “could have tried to push it for Week 10 against the 49ers” but also added that Week 12 has always been his target return date. The Buccaneers will release their first official injury report on Wednesday, but it sounds like Evans is trending toward a return for Week 12’s game against the Giants.

Pro Football Focus charted Herbert as playing only four snaps in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. So much for Herbert being ready for more work after getting the Bengals’ “mini bye” to catch up on the system. Herbert has contingency value behind Chase Brown, but not the kind that is worth a roster spot during the sprint to the fantasy playoffs.

According to Rapoport, the Jaguars are “still assessing the injury, but Davis expected to have the surgery.” During his surgery, doctors will determine the severity of Davis’ injury and whether or not he needs a full repair or a trim of the meniscus. If he undergoes a full repair, Davis’ season would be over. His first year in Jacksonville has been underwhelming. Davis has caught 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns, and topped out at 63 receiving yards in Week 1. We’ll know more about his injury in the coming days and provide an update when we have one.
