Christopher Brooks RB | GB
Packers' Chris Brooks: Racks up nine touches
Brooks had eight carries for 21 yards and one reception for five yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.
The nine touches were the most Brooks has recorded in a game since joining the Packers in 2024, but they came in a contest in which starter Josh Jacobs (knee) sat out and fellow reserve Emanuel Wilson got the ball a whopping 30 times. Brooks could again be busier than usual if Jacobs is unable to play Thursday against the Lions, but in such a scenario he would still be the No. 2 option behind Wilson.

Terrion Arnold CB | DET
Lions' Terrion Arnold: Estimated as limited Monday
Arnold (concussion) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report.
Arnold has missed back-to-back games after he was concussed in Week 10, and he apparently remains in the league's protocol after logging a trio of DNPs last week ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. With a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday afternoon's upcoming date with the Packers, Arnold could be in danger of missing a third consecutive contest.

Kerby Joseph SAF | DET
Lions' Kerby Joseph: Estimated as DNP on Monday
Joseph (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Detroit held a walkthrough Monday after beating the Giants in overtime Sunday. The Lions have a quick turnaround ahead of a Thursday afternoon meeting with the Packers on Thanksgiving. Joseph hasn't played since Week 6 against the Chiefs.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Has suspension lifted
The NFL lifted Chase's suspension Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Chase received a one-game suspension for his role in an incident with Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey in Week 11, meaning the former sat out Sunday's defeat to the Patriots. Chase technically has a roster exemption after the ban was lifted, but he'll almost certainly be available for Thursday's road matchup with the Ravens, when the Bengals are expected to have No. 1 QB Joe Burrow (toe) back in the lineup.

Noah Fant TE | CIN
Bengals' Noah Fant: Volume declines with Gesicki back
Fant secured his only target for nine yards during Cincinnati's 26-20 loss to the Patriots in Week 12.
Fant saw his offensive snap share drop to just 27 percent versus New England, a decline in usage that coincides with the return of Mike Gesicki (four catches for 35 yards on six targets) from IR. Now back in a familiar role as the No. 2 tight end in Cincinnati, Fant can safely be dropped in the majority of fantasy formats, even if quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) manages to retake the starting lineup Thursday night versus the Ravens.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: AC joint sprain in left shoulder
Mayfield is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, whether Mayfield will be able to play this coming Sunday against the Cardinals figures to come down to pain management, but either way, the QB's MRI results indicate that his shoulder issue is not viewed as a long-term concern, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. If Mayfield isn't cleared for Week 13 action, however, Teddy Bridgewater would be in line to fill in for him this weekend.

Marcus Davenport DE | DET
Lions' Marcus Davenport: Listed as full participant
Davenport (shoulder), who officially remains on IR, was listed as a full participant at Monday's walkthrough practice.
Davenport is ready to participate in full for the first time since having his 21-day practice window opened, a development that bodes well for his odds of being activated to the 53-man roster in time for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Packers. The veteran defensive end is recovering from a shoulder injury suffered Week 2.

Samaje Perine RB | CIN
Bengals' Samaje Perine: Estimated as full practice Monday
Perine (ankle) was estimated as a full participant on Monday's practice report, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Perine has missed each of the Bengals' past two contests after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 9. With Tahj Brooks (concussion) already ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Ravens, Perine appears set to return behind Chase Brown. Perine had been handling a decent chunk of the pass-down and two-minute work for Cincinnati prior to his injury, so his return could be a small hit to Brown's fantasy outlook.

Dyami Brown WR | JAC
Jaguars' Dyami Brown: Blanked in Arizona
Brown wasn't targeted during Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Cardinals.
The 27-year-old played just four offensive snaps and didn't receive a target for the first time this season. Even with Brian Thomas (ankle) missing the past three contests, Brown has fallen out of favor in Jacksonville's receiving corps following the acquisition of Jakobi Meyers ahead of the trade deadline.
-
Tim Patrick WR | JAC
Jaguars' Tim Patrick: No catches in OT win
Patrick failed to catch any of his four targets during Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Cardinals.
The 32-year-old hauled in a season-high three receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown last week versus the Chargers, but he was unable to get on the same page as quarterback Trevor Lawrence on Sunday. Patrick hasn't been consistently involved in Jacksonville's passing game and has seven catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns through 10 contests this year.
