K. Stills - WR

HOU

Texans declared Charlie Heck, Josh McCown, Kenny Stills, Isaiah Coulter, Nate Orchard, and Cullen Gillaspia inactive for Week 12 against Detroit.

Will Fuller, Brandin Cooks, and Keke Coutee will be Houston's top three wideouts against the Lions on Thanksgiving. Coutee profiles as a reasonable WR3 play in PPR leagues after playing 57 percent of the team's snaps and drawing four targets last week against the Patriots.

D. Swift - RB

DET

Lions declared D'Andre Swift (concussion), Kenny Golladay (hip), Jeff Okudah, Danny Amendola (hip), Da'Shawn Hand, Mike Ford, and Austin Bryant inactive for Week 12 against the Texans.

Swift was on the wrong side of questionable in a short week. Expect Kerryon Johnson and Adrian Peterson to share backfield duties against a terrible Houston front seven, with Johnson taking most pass catching opportunities and Peterson getting short yardage and perhaps goal line work. Marvin Jones and Marvin Hall will once again operate as the team's top two wideouts with Amendola and Golladay sidelined. Jamal Agnew last week was the Lions WR3, playing half the team's offensive snaps and drawing six targets against Carolina. He's only viable in single-game DFS contests.

D. Swift - RB

DET

D'Andre Swift (concussion) is unlikely to play Thursday against the Texans.

It was always going to be an uphill climb for Swift, who missed Week 11, to suit up for Detroit's Thanksgiving game against Houston. Last week, Kerry Johnson played 70 percent of Detroit's offensive snaps while Adrian Peterson played 30 percent. Peterson had one more rushing attempt than Johnson, who had five targets to Peterson's one. We saw last week that no one in the Lions offense has much fantasy value with Kenny Golladay (hip) and Swift sidelined, but Johnson would seem to be the preferred PPR option. Peterson is the better bet to get goal line opportunities against the Texans' soft front seven.

S. Gilmore - DB

Patriots CB Stephon Gilmore (hand) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Gilmore's hand issue is new. He missed three games this season with a knee injury, returning in Week 11 against Houston. Gilmore should be fine for this week's game against the Cardinals barring a setback in practice. Without Gilmore, Kyler Murray's matchup gets that much better.

T. Tagovailoa - QB

MIA

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Tua Tagovailoa "got banged up a little bit" last week but should be able to play this week against the Jets.

Tagovailoa was limited at Wednesday's practice with a thumb injury. Flores doesn't seem concerned about the rookie for this week's tasty matchup against a Jets defense allowing a league-high 72.9 percent completion rate. Tagovailoa is a mid-range QB2 with limited upside in a game the Dolphins should dominate.

A. Smith - QB

WAS

NFL Networks' Ian Rapoport said Washington head coach Ron Rivera wants Alex Smith back as the team's quarterback in 2021.

Smith, 36, under contract with the Football Team until 2022, hasn't made clear whether he'll play beyond this year. He could serve as a bridge quarterback for the Football Team, making $19 million next season. Smith has completed his seemingly impossible recovery from a catastrophic 2018 leg break that required 17 surgeries. The veteran signal caller had to learn how to walk again before he could get back into football form. He's gone 55-of-80 for 556 yards with one touchdown and an interception in two starts for Washington this season. In relief of Kyle Allen in Week 9, Smith threw for 325 yards and three picks against the Giants. Fantasy wise, he should be a serviceable QB2 in superflex formats from here on out.

T. Higbee - TE

Tyler Higbee (elbow) did not practice on Wednesday.

Higbee played 72 percent of the team's snaps in Week 11. His absence could simply be due to the Rams being on a short week after playing on Monday. If Higbee does miss time, Gerald Everett would see an increase in receiving work and Johnny Mundt would play more inline snaps.

P. Rivers - QB

IND

Philip Rivers (toe) was held out of Wednesday's practice.

If you watched Sunday's game against the Packers, you noticed Rivers limping heavily along the sideline. He was able to finish the game and help the Colts overcome a significant second half deficit. We have seen Rivers consistently play through injuries throughout his career, so expect him on the field in Week 12 against the Titans.
