We are back. Sorry to leave you hanging for the past few weeks as I was dealing with a family emergency, but I know you were in good hands with the rest of the FantasyPros squad. It’s fantasy football crunch time now, so let’s get to it.

Week 12 Fantasy Football Injury Updates
*Injury glossary key:
- FP = Full Participant
- LP = Limited Participant
- DNP = Did Not Practice
Josh Jacobs (RB – GB)
Josh Jacobs’ status is to be determined (TBD). Data slightly favors playing (~55%). Green Bay tends to be conservative with injured players, so I would have a backup plan ready. A dip in touches is typically seen if active.
Drake London (WR – ATL)
Drake London is dealing with a PCL injury. The average missed time is two weeks. Most common return would be Week 13.
Joe Burrow (QB – CIN)
Going from a full participant (twice) in practice to a limited participant suggested not playing in Week 12 (and he was not activated off the injured reserve). A Week 13 return is realistic. Project strong play when active.
Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)
Data strongly favors playing. Wide receivers typically see a dip in targets and a moderate re-injury risk.
Trey Benson (RB – ARI)
Most running backs log two full practices before returning from meniscus surgery. Progression suggests a Week 13 target. Rapid ramp-up is expected.
Kenneth Walker (RB – SEA)
Late week injury equals high risk to miss, but comments seem reassuring. Kenneth Walker’s status is TBD. I lean toward him playing this week with a dip in touches.
Bucky Irving (RB – TB)
Discussing mental health suggests improvement. This explanation raises performance projection, as it implies the shoulder and foot issues were not as severe as a six-week absence suggests.
Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)
Likely playing. Typically, we see a two-week ramp-up.
Aaron Rodgers (QB – PIT)
Aaron Rodgers’ status is TBD. He may play in Week 12, but comments about safety suggest sitting. A fall onto a fresh fracture could typically displace it and potentially require surgery.
Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)
Alvin Kamara’s status is TBD. I lean toward him playing.
That’s a wrap for this week. We’ll catch you tomorrow night on the live stream. So pumped to be all the way back.
