Darius Robinson On Track To Play In Week 13
Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darius Robinson (calf) is on track to make his NFL debut in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Robinson has been sidelined since training camp. The rookie has not yet appeared in an NFL game, but it sounds like he's very close to being 100 percent. Robinson will provide a major boost to the Cardinals' defensive front, which has been particularly strong against the run so far in 2024.

DeMarcus Robinson Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Monday morning after police officers pulled him over for traveling over 100 miles per hour, according to Clayton Holloway of NFL Media. Robinson's arrest came mere hours after his Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. The veteran receiver caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in the defeat. Following his arrest, he was cited and released to a responsible party. As of now, it's unclear if there will be any legal developments stemming from this incident. Fantasy managers should monitor Robinson's status ahead of Week 13 versus the New Orleans Saints.

Raiders To Open Aidan O'Connell's Practice Window
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) will be designated to return from injured reserve on Tuesday, head coach Antonio Pierce told the media. The Purdue product has been sidelined since Week 7 after injuring his thumb while making contact with a defender. Prior to that point, he had completed 52 passes for 455 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions through parts of four games. O'Connell will likely claim the starting role upon his return given that the Raiders have gotten poor results from both Gardner Minshew II and Desmond Ridder lately. With that said, O'Connell isn't a major upgrade and should still be viewed as a low-end fantasy QB2, at best.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Avoids Serious Injury
Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) avoided a serious injury during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, according to an update from head coach Dave Canales. In the first half of Sunday's game, Sanders came down hard on his head and neck area. Medical personnel placed him on a stabilizing backboard and transported him to a local hospital for further evaluation. He was discharged the same day, and Canales said that the rookie tight end was back in the Panthers' facility on Monday. It's fair to assume Sanders' Week 13 availability is up in the air, but the good news is that he didn't suffer a serious injury and might be able to avoid a stint on Injured Reserve. Tommy Tremble would step up as the Panthers' primary tight end if Sanders needed to miss time.

Cameron Dicker Makes Five Kicks In Week 12 Win
Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker had a big game on Monday Night Football in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. He attempted five kicks and made all five of them, keeping the Chargers in the game while their offense was struggling to move the ball too far beyond midfield. Dicker made both of his extra point attempts and also made all three of his field goal tries. His field goal kicks were from 42, 52, and another 52 yards out. He remains one of the most consistent fantasy and real life kickers and should again be a top-10 option at the position in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Quentin Johnston Goose Eggs In A Week 12 Loss
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston had a rough performance in a Week 12 loss against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Johnston was targeted five times and came up with zero catches for zero yards. Several of the balls thrown his way were placed perfectly by quarterback Justin Herbert, but Johnston regressed to his rookie year drop issues, where passes thrown right at his chest in clearly open ground with no defenders nearby turn into incomplete passes. Johnston was expected to have a big game, as the Ravens defense has struggled all year against similar wide receivers, but QJ ended up with a zero. He's almost sure to do a little better in Week 13 when the Chargers take on the Atlanta Falcons.

Tommy DeVito Avoids Injury Report To Open Week 13
New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (undisclosed) did not appear on the team's initial injury report for Week 13. DeVito was banged up during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had to leave the game for one play, but he returned to the contest and is now trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. DeVito did struggle in his first start of the 2024 campaign, completing 21 of his 31 pass attempts for 189 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. He took four sacks but did make up some ground with his 32 rushing yards. The 26-year-old ranks as a fantasy QB3 for Week 13, even with a favorable matchup against the Cowboys on tap.

Joshua Palmer Makes Three Catches On Eight Targets In Week 12
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer was heavily involved in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite the heavy involvement, he was unable to do much with it. He led the team with eight targets but made only three catches, totaling 38 yards. Palmer was used as a deep threat in this one but seemed completely unable to get any separation in the Ravens secondary, despite drawing one-on-one coverage several times. The Ravens came into this game as one of the worst defenses in the NFL against boundary wide receivers, but Palmer was still unable to put together a good game. He'll remain off the fantasy radar in Week 13 when the Chargers face the Atlanta Falcons.

Will Dissly Catches Four Passes In Week 12
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly made four catches in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Playing on Monday Night Football, Dissly was targeted four times, making the four catches for 47 yards. The Chargers ended up only completing 21 passes in this one, so Dissly was pretty heavily involved despite only the four grabs. He's been a key part of the Bolts offense since the bye week and should continue in that role in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. He's a high-floor, low-ceiling type of tight end who is best rostered in 2TE leagues.

Ladd McConkey Makes Six Catches In A Week 12 Loss
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey led the team in catches and yards in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. McConkey was targeted six times, catching all six for 83 yards. McConkey and the Chargers offense came in with high expectations against a struggling Ravens secondary, but they were unable to get much going and didn't benefit from any real big plays. Still, the rookie wide out remained heavily involved and continues to look like quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target. They'll take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13.

Gus Edwards Scores A Touchdown Against His Former Team In Week 12
Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards scored a touchdown against his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, in a Week 12 loss. Edwards ran the ball nine times, gaining just 11 yards total, but one of them was a one-yard plunge into the end zone in the fourth quarter. With J.K. Dobbins (knee) forced to exit the game and possibly looking at missing more time, Edwards could see a jump to the top of the depth chart before next week's game against the Atlanta Falcons. While he hasn't shown much burst at all this season, any lead back is worth fantasy consideration if that's where Edwards ends up.

Justin Herbert Disappoints On Monday Night Football
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert disappointed in a Week 12 Monday Night Football loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Herbert attempted 36 passes, completing 21 of them for 218 yards. He took four sacks, losing 16 yards. He fumbled once, but it was recovered by the Chargers. He added four rushes for 29 yards on the ground, including a touchdown on a five-yard run in the first quarter. Herbert was ranked as one of the top quarterbacks this week since the Ravens defense has struggled all year against the pass, but he was unable to get anything consistent going. Some bad routes, bad calls, and bad drops didn't help. Herbert and the Bolts will face off against the Falcons in Week 13.

J.K. Dobbins Won't Return On Monday Night
Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been downgraded to out and won't return in the second half of the Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. Dobbins injured his knee in the first half and was seen going back into the locker room just before halftime. The 25-year-old tested out a brace on his injured knee on the sidelines but never made it back into the game. Before leaving, he had six rushing attempts for 40 yards and caught three of five targets for 19 yards. It was shaping up to be a pretty productive game for Dobbins against his former team. Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins have taken over the backfield in the second half and would both be worth looking at off the waiver wire if Dobbins' injury is serious enough to put him in danger of missing the Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Dobbins' injury history makes this a pretty worrisome development for his fantasy managers and the Chargers.

Theo Johnson Limited On Monday
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson (back) was a limited participant during Monday's walkthrough. Johnson was dealing with a back issue throughout the week but he still managed to suit up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Johnson hauled in three of his six targets for 39 yards in the loss. The fact Johnson was limited could be the Giants being cautious on a short week. They have a quick turnaround with the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Johnson has seen more involvement lately with six targets in three straight games. Despite that, Johnson has finished with less than 40 receiving yards in two of those games. He'll be a low-end streaming option ahead of this Thanksgiving matchup.

Eli Apple Uncertain To Return On Monday
Los Angeles Chargers defensive back Eli Apple (hamstring) is questionable to return for Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Apple suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter and has remained sidelined until halftime. It remains to be seen if Apple will return to the field in the second half. Apple has only appeared in four games this season as a reserve. However, the Chargers are fairly thin at defensive back, so the loss of Apple does make an impact Deane Leonard figures to see more snaps if Apple is unable to play after halftime.

J.K. Dobbins Questionable To Return On Monday
Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is currently considered questionable to return for Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Dobbins made an early exit to the locker room due to an apparent knee issue. The good news is that Dobbins was able to leave the field under his own power. It doesn't sound like too serious of an issue, but more information should be known soon. Dobbins rushed six times for 40 yards while hauling in three receptions for 19 yards before exiting ahead of halftime. If he remains out, Gus Edwards figures to serve as the lead back for the rest of the night.

DaRon Bland Limited On Monday
Dallas Cowboys defensive back DaRon Bland (foot) was a limited participant during Monday's walkthrough practice. The All-Pro defensive back has been sidelined up until Sunday due to a stress fracture in his foot. However, Brand was able to make his season debut against the Washington Commanders. He played well as he recorded six tackles in the win. The expectation is that Bland was limited out of precaution and he should be ready to go against the New York Giants for their Thanksgiving matchup. The practice sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday will give a better indication on his status going forward.

Daniel Jones Won't Join The Raiders
Free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones has been a hot topic since being released by the New York Giants last week. Jones has drawn quite a lot of interest and figures to sign with another organization soon. The Las Vegas Raiders reportedly have shown interest in signing Jones after quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) suffered a season-ending injury on Sunday. Despite that, Jones has reportedly said he's not interested in joining the two-win Raiders. Instead, Jones wants to join a playoff contender as he has drawn interest from multiple playoff teams. Right now, the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens are the two favorites to land Jones, according to Adam Schefter. It remains to be seen which team will actually sign Jones, but that should happen in the coming days. As for the Raiders, Desmond Ridder figures to start going forward with Jones deciding to go elsewhere.

Bengals Looking To Manage Chase Brown's Workload
Coming out of their Week 12 bye, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the team is looking for a way to manage running back Chris Brown's workload in the backfield. "We've gotta find ways to manage it. I think circumstances has led to what he's gotten the last two weeks. I'd like for Chase to touch the ball as much as possible he's got the potential to be explosive on every single play. At the same time, you do need another back in there to help manage that workload. We'll try to get other guys mixed in there to give him a little bit more of a break," Taylor said. Zack Moss (neck) is out for the year, which has led to Brown seeing almost all of the backfield touches in recent weeks as trade acquisition Khalil Herbert learns the offense. Brown has had 20-plus touches in two of the last three games. While he could see more help moving forward, he'll remain a must-start for fantasy managers.

Commanders Will Know More On Brian Robinson Jr. Later In The Week
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Monday that running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) is getting treatment for the ankle injury that forced him out of the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The team will know more on his status for the Week 13 game against the Tennessee Titans later in the week. The good news is that the 25-year-old re-entered the game on Sunday after initially leaving, but he left again in the second half and never returned. With Austin Ekeler being in the concussion protocol this week, there's a possibility the Commanders have to turn to a committee approach with Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. this Sunday against the Titans. McNichols should be a popular waiver-wire pickup this week for fantasy managers hurting at the RB position.
