Terron Armstead Active Against Packers
Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a limited practice Wednesday. The veteran lineman will be tasked with slowing down the Packers' defense front and creating opportunities for Tua Tagovailoa, De'Von Achane, and other offensive contributors.

Dallas Cowboys defensive back Josh Butler (undisclosed) left Thursday's game early, according to Jane Slater. Butler attempted to deflect a pass but grabbed his knee before hitting the turf. Butler eventually came off the field with help from the training staff. While he remains sidelined, Jordan Lewis and DaRon Bland will see the majority of snaps.

D.J. Davidson Exits Early On Thursday
New York Giants defensive tackle D.J. Davidson (shoulder) left Thursday's game early with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return. The 27-year-old defensive tackle sustained this injury in the second quarter. While he remains out, fantasy managers should expect Dexter Lawrence and Rakeem Nunez-Roches to operate as the primary starters on the New York defensive line.

Kyle Van Noy Remains Sidelined On Thursday
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy (hamstring/neck) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice. Van Noy could be in danger of missing his first game of the season if he is unable to return to practice in some capacity on Friday. Fantasy managers in IDP formats should continue to pay close attention to Friday's injury report. Van Noy has typically operated as a starter throughout the entire season and has averaged 2.2 tackles per game. He has also tallied an impressive eight sacks through 12 games with two pass deflections. If Van Noy cannot suit up against the Philadelphia Eagles, Tavius Robinson would likely see an increase in snaps.

Nick Bosa Remains Sidelined During Practice
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) did not participate in practice for the second straight day, according to Matt Barrows of the Athletic. Fantasy managers in IDP formats should continue monitoring his status on Friday as it will likely clarify his status heading into the weekend. Bosa could not suit up last weekend and now could be in danger of missing his second-straight contest. The edge rusher has tallied 36 tackles (24 solo) and seven sacks through ten games. If Bosa cannot play, fantasy managers should expect Leonard Floyd, Yetur Gross-Matos, and Sam Okuayinonu to see the majority of the snaps on Sunday evening against the Buffalo Bills.

Brock Purdy Limited On Thursday
According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report as it will likely clarify his availability heading into Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Purdy could not suit up last weekend and ceded starting duties to Brandon Allen. Purdy has enjoyed another excellent fantasy season as he has averaged a solid 23.4 PPR points per game. If Purdy can suit up, he should be considered a solid QB1 in all formats. If not, Allen is best to fade and should only be deployed in deep Superflex formats facing a tough Buffalo defense.

Juanyeh Thomas Carted Off During Thursday's Game
Dallas Cowboys safety Juanyeh Thomas (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Thursday's game against the New York Giants. Thomas was seen grabbing his knee following a kickoff. Thomas scored his first career touchdown last week on a punt return that went for 43 yards. Throughout the season, the 24-year-old has been deployed primarily as a special teams option but did log a season-high 23 defensive snaps last weekend against Washington. As a result, fantasy managers in IDP leagues should expect Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson to see a slight increase in snaps.

DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett Remain Sidelined On Thursday
Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) were non-participants for the second straight day, according to Rich Cimini. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to their status during Friday's practice session as they both could be in danger of missing Sunday's game if they cannot log any practice session. Metcalf returned in Week 11 after a two-game absence due to a knee injury, while Lockett has yet to miss any time this season. Metcalf typically sees the majority of targets every week in the Seattle passing attack. Lockett has seen only three targets in each of the past two games and has moved down to the clear No.3 role in the offense. If either wideout is in danger of missing Sunday's game, Jaxon Smith-Njigba would be in store for an increase in opportunities.

Breece Hall Logs Limited Session On Thursday
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. This is a great sign for the standout running back, as he did not practice on Wednesday. This was also a concern since the Jets were off last weekend. However, seeing him return to practice on Thursday is a positive sign. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during Friday's practice, as he could carry an injury designation into the weekend. Despite New York's offensive struggles this season, Hall has continued to enjoy a solid campaign, averaging 16.8 PPR points per game. If Hall can suit up this weekend, he should be locked into all lineups as a high-end RB1 facing the Seattle Seahawks.

Trevor Lawrence Remains Limited On Thursday
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Lawrence has been sidelined since sustaining this shoulder injury during Week 9's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report as Lawrence would likely carry an injury designation into the weekend if he is unable to update to a full participant. Before the injury, the Clemson product struggled to find consistency this season as he averaged just 222.7 passing yards in each game with an 11:6 TD:INT ratio. If Lawrence can suit up, fantasy managers should view him as a low-end QB1 facing a weak Houston secondary that has allowed the ninth-most PPR points to opposing QBS this season.

Calvin Ridley, Tyjae Spears Log Full Practice On Thursday
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) and running back Tyjae Spears (concussion) both logged full practice sessions on Thursday afternoon, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Ridley did not participate during Wednesday's practice, and seeing him return to full participation in just one day suggests that the injury was fairly minor. Spears was limited on Wednesday, and seeing him also participate in full is a positive sign for his status this weekend. However, Spears will need to pass the league's concussion protocol before suiting up. Ridley has averaged a strong 90.2 yards over his past five games, while Spears has typically been deployed as the No.2 option behind Tony Pollard. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ridley as a solid WR2, while Spears should be viewed as a low-end flex option.

Cole Kmet Catches Three Passes On Thursday
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in their loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday afternoon. Kmet's three targets tied him for the lowest total among Chicago pass catchers. This was a sharp decline from the ten targets he saw last weekend. Throughout the season, Kmet has been unable to string together consistent fantasy performances. He has eclipsed double-digit PPR points on three occasions but fell under 5.0 PPR points in four games. Fantasy managers should continue to view Kmet as a risky TE2 in all formats heading into a Week 14 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Rome Odunze Quiet On Thursday
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze brought in just two of his six targets for 25 yards in their loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday. Odunze's longest reception of the afternoon went for 19 yards. While his solid target share is encouraging, the Washington product has been unable to post consistent fantasy performances throughout his rookie season. Since Week 8, Odunze has seen at least six targets in each contest but has only eclipsed 50+ yards in two of those games. Given how productive Keenan Allen and DJ Moore have performed over the past two weeks, Oduzne remains the clear No.3 option on this offense despite his incredible potential. For now, fantasy managers should continue to view the former first-round selection as a risky flex option in most formats heading into a Week 14 tilt against the San Francisco 49ers.

DJ Moore Paces Chicago Wideouts In Loss
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore led all Chicago pass catchers with 97 yards during their loss to the Detroit Lions. Moore also brought in a team-high eight receptions and a score off an impressive 15 targets. Moore's touchdown came off a 31-yard pass from Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter. Moore's 15 targets also set a season-high. This was another strong showing for Moore as he tallied 106 yards and a score on seven receptions last weekend. This is a great sign for Moore, as he averaged a mere 6.1 PPR points during Weeks 6 through 10. Despite his inconsistencies this season, fantasy managers should feel confident starting Moore going forward, given the positive trajectory of the Chicago offense. Next week, he will face a tough San Francisco secondary that has allowed the ninth-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts but should still be viewed as a low-end WR2.

Austin Ekeler, Noah Brown Sidelined During Practice Thursday
Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. Wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) was also sidelined after being added to the injury report. The Commanders enter this week with a few concerning injuries on offense, including Ekeler, Brown, and Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle). Ekeler, who has 355 rushing yards, 346 receiving yards, and four touchdowns this season, could be looking at a multi-week absence after suffering a scary concussion on a kick return during the final seconds of last Sunday's battle with Dallas. Meanwhile, Brown has blossomed into one of Jayden Daniels' favorite targets, catching 32 passes for 426 yards and one touchdown through 10 games. If Brown can't suit up this week, we could see more opportunities for Dyami Brown, Olamide Zacchaeus, and Luke McCaffrey behind Washington's top receiver, Terry McLaurin.

Keenan Allen Scores Twice On Thursday
Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen caught five of his eight targets for 73 yards and two scores in their loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday afternoon. Allen found the back of the end zone twice on Thursday, on a 31-yard strike and a nine-yard strike from Caleb Williams. His eight targets and 73 yards were both second-most among Chicago pass catchers. This was also the second straight game in which the veteran wideout scored a touchdown. Last week, Allen caught nine of his 15 targets for 86 yards. After averaging just 13.5 PPR points through his first eight games as a Bear, Allen has begun to find his footing and should be viewed as a WR3 with upside in PPR formats next weekend, heading into a Week 14 tilt against the San Francisco 49ers.

Brian Robinson Jr. Remains Limited Thursday
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) was limited for a second consecutive practice on Thursday. The 25-year-old hasn't really been 100 percent healthy since Week 4, restricting his fantasy value week after week. He's the overall RB29 in fantasy football so far, tallying 537 rushing yards, 99 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. This week, if he plays, Robinson would face a challenging Tennessee Titans run defense. A challenging matchup could drop him to the RB3 tier in fantasy football, but the potential absence of Austin Ekeler (concussion) could also allow Robinson to earn some extra opportunities on the ground and through the air. Fantasy managers should check back Friday to see if Robinson will carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Drake London, Younghoe Koo Added To Injury Report Thursday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) and Younghoe Koo (hip) were added to the injury report on Thursday. Both players were limited participants in practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to their respective statuses on Friday as we gather more information and context on whether London and Koo will play Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers. London has been the overall WR7 so far, catching 61 passes for 710 yards and six touchdowns. Meanwhile, Koo ranks 14th in fantasy points among kickers, going 19-for-26 on field goals and 23-for-23 on extra points.

D'Andre Swift Has Modest Output On Thursday
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift tallied 39 yards on 11 attempts and added 35 yards on two receptions in their loss to the Detroit Lions. Swift's longest run of the day went for 12 yards, and the longest reception went for 29. The Bears were trailing for most of the afternoon, which shifted much of the offensive play-calling to favor the passing game. This was also the second-straight game Swift did not find the back of the end zone. Before this two-game slump, Swift averaged 18.3 PPR points per game during Weeks 4 through 11. Fantasy managers should still view Swift as a solid RB2 heading into a Week 14 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Darnell Mooney Upgrades To Full Participant Thursday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Achilles) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited Wednesday. The 27-year-old has not yet missed a game this season, and it now appears he's on track to play in Week 13. He's having the best season of his career so far, totaling 48 catches, 711 yards, and five touchdowns en route to ranking as the overall WR12 in fantasy football. Even though he's second on the depth chart behind Drake London (hip), Mooney should be viewed as a solid top-24 fantasy receiver heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
