Fantasy Injury Updates: Julio Jones, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, more affecting Week 12 start-sit calls

We’ve already had some notable pass-catchers be ruled out for Week 12 (DJ Chark, John Brown), and several more (Adam Thielen, Julio Jones, Brandon Aiyuk, Hayden Hurst, Jerry Jeudy, Mark Andrews) are dealing with injury issues and COVID, putting their statuses in question. Fantasy football owners will need updates ahead of their start ’em, sit ’em decisions, and we’ll be here throughout the day on Sunday providing you with the latest.

For updates on injured RBs Austin Ekeler, Raheem Mostert, Giovani Bernard, and more, click here; for news on Zach Ertz, go here; for the Week 12 weather forecast, click here. For all the latest fantasy updates, follow us on Twitter @SN_Fantasy.

WEEK 12 STANDARD RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Is Adam Thielen playing this week?

UPDATE: Thielen is officially OUT.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Friday that Thielen (COVID) is not expected to play this week against the Panthers. 

If Thielen is indeed out, which is looking highly likely, Justin Jefferson would see more targets, but there’s no obvious backup WR who would also get more chances. If anything, Minnesota’s TEs and RBs would likely see more work in Thielen’s absence, giving Kirk Cousins an even lower ceiling than usual.

WEEK 12 FANTASY: Sleepers | Busts | Start ’em, sit ’em

Is Julio Jones playing this week?

UPDATE 2: Jones is officially OUT. 

UPDATE: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Jones is not expected to play this week.

Jones (hamstring) managed to get in limited practices early in the week, but after a missed practice on Friday, he’s listed as “questionable” for Sunday’s game against the Raiders. 

Jones has been dealing with hamstring issues virtually all season, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him sit out this week. However, it seems clear he wants to play, so we won’t know for sure until Sunday morning. If Jones is out, both Russell Gage and Olamide Zaccheaus would have WR3/flex potential in PPR leagues, with Gage having a higher floor and Zacheaus having a higher ceiling.

WEEK 12 PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Is Brandon Aiyuk playing this week?

Like Thielen, Aiyuk is on the COVID restriction list, and like Thielen, it’s also looking unlikely that he’ll suit up in Week 12. 

Considering the 49ers have a tough matchup with the Rams, it might be for the better that Aiyuk is sitting out. He wouldn’t be much more than a low-end flex, and with Deebo Samuel back, his touches would have been hard to predict. Richie James and Kendrick Bourne will play more with Aiyuk out, but neither is worth a spot in fantasy lineups.

WEEK 12 DFS CASH LINEUPS: DraftKings |  FanDuel

Is Jerry Jeudy playing this week?

UPDATE: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Jeudy is expected to play this week.

Jeudy (ankle/Achilles’) was limited in practice all week, and despite his “questionable” tag, he’s expected to play on Sunday against the Saints. 

However, with practice-squad WR Kendall Hinton expected to start at QB for the Broncos after COVID complications wiped out their entire QB room, Jeudy is not a recommended play in any fantasy format. It’s possible he breaks a big play, but fantasy owners can’t rely on that happening, especially going against a decent Saints defense.

WEEK 12 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel

Is Hayden Hurst playing this week?

UPDATE 2: Hurst is officially ACTIVE.

UPDATE: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Hurst is expected to play this week.

Hurst (ankle) missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week, but he turned in a limited session on Friday and is “questionable” for Sunday’s game against the Raiders. 

Hurst feels like a true game-time decision, but the limited practice is a good sign. If he’s out, Luke Stocker and Jaeden Graham would split TE snaps for the Falcons, but neither is worth trusting in fantasy leagues. Hurst will be a low-end TE1 if he’s active, as he would likely see more targets if Julio Jones (hamstring) is out.

MORE WEEK 12 DFS: Best stacks | Best values | Lineup Builder

Is Mark Andrews playing this week?

UPDATE: Andrews has tested positive for COVID, so he will be out in Weeks 12 and 13.

It’s tough to know what to expect from any Ravens’ players since they’ve been away from their facilities all week because of COVID, but Andrews (thigh) is listed as “questionable” for Tuesday’s game.

Whether he’s truly a game-time decision is unknown, but given all the other risks associated with that game, from the fact Robert Griffin III will be under center to the very real chance it won’t be played at all, Andrews probably isn’t worth holding out hope for. If you are going to wait out Andrews, then you should have Pittsburgh’s Vance McDonald ready as a desperation pivot (or Eric Ebron, if he’s available), as it’s unclear who Baltimore would play at TE. But, again, you’re still risking the game being postponed again, so the safe play is to find a TE from the Sunday or Monday games.

In fact, all clothing has vanished from England. After the initial shock, life resumes in the nude. People learn they must take better care of their bodies and become healthier.

The Secret of Japan (1906) by George W. Draper   Takasuma, a Japanese-American scientist, invents a machine that makes people invisible. His friend Fowler accidentally steps in front of the ray.

Meanwhile, in an underground vault beneath the Central Park Zoo, the United Millionaires of America are secretly meeting. They are tired of being lampooned by writers and artists and are conspiring to kill all the so-called geniuses in New York City. Their first victim is a policeman who writes poetry. The Purple Death (1895) by William Livingston Alden   Professor Schmidt, a bacteriologist, believes that the way to bring about economic equality is not by assassinating the capitalists, who are easily replaced, but by eliminating millions of workers, thereby creating a labour shortage that would increase wages. To this end, he concocts a deadly plague, the Purple Death, but dies before it can be set loose in the world. A Psychical Experiment (1887) by B.F. Cresswell   Mark Darrell cannot decide which of two sisters to marry. One is beautiful but not bright, the other brilliant but plain.

The Promoters: A Novel without a Woman (1904) by William Hawley Smith   Tycoons have a plan to tilt the world’s axis, creating a real estate boom in Antarctica, by firing off a hundred thousand cannons in Nebraska. Other Eyes than Mine (1926) by Ronald Arbuthnott   Two Latin scholars, an Englishman and a German, bitter rivals, simultaneously publish biographies of the poet Persius that completely contradict each other. An Italian scholar publishes an article definitively proving that the Englishman was correct, but World War One has broken out and there is no way for the Englishman to find out if the German has admitted defeat. The German dies in the war. Years later, the Englishman still wonders if his triumph was ever acknowledged. With the help of a medium, he contacts the spirit of the German, but in the afterlife his rival says he doesn’t remember anyone named Persius. The Man who Met Himself (1919) by Donovan Bayley   Richard Panton falls down the stairs and is separated from his subliminal self, which takes the form of a midget. With this loss, Panton himself shrinks and becomes an identical midget. They argue. The midget Panton beats the subliminal midget to death and regains his usual size. Fortunately, Mrs Panton has been away the whole time. When she returns, everything is normal. The Light in the Sky (1929) by Herbert Clock and Eric Boetzel   Throughout his life, the unnamed narrator has glimpsed a beautiful woman, who vanishes when he approaches her. Finally, after the war, they meet in Paris; they dance; and she stabs him with a poisoned ring. He wakes in a vast underground city, populated by Aztecs who escaped the Conquest and have learned the secret of immortality. The woman is Montezuma’s daughter, and she explains that they have been watching the narrator since his birth, for he is the direct descendant of Cortés. Sacrificing him to the god Tezcatlipoca will launch the Aztec reconquest of Mexico. The Immortals (1924) by Harold E. Scarborough   Dr Brusilov, who worked with Pasteur, has discovered that ageing is caused by a bacillus, which he names Senectutis brusilovis. He plans to manufacture and distribute a vaccine for it.

The Flying Death (1902) by Samuel Hopkins Adams   Dr Richard Colton, vacationing in Montauk, stumbles across a series of seemingly impossible murders. He deduces that some of them are the work of an insane knife-thrower from the circus. Other deaths, however, cannot be explained until he comes across curious footprints on the beach. An earthquake has released a pteradon, a prehistoric flying reptile, from an underground cavern. The Elixir of Hate (1911) by George Allan England   Granville Dennison, who is terminally ill, rushes to the French villa of Dr Pagani, ‘Il Vecchio’, who has invented an elixir of life.

Kellett   The scientist Adolphus J. Vallancy’s morphometer has revealed that sleep is a kind of energy, and its amount is limited. Thus, one person’s deep sleep causes insomnia in another. Vallancy worries about the impending overpopulation of the world: too many people sleeping will cause a plague of sleeplessness. Christ in Chicago (1926) by T.S. Stribling   A faith healer in future Chicago, who works among the poor, reveals that the desire to have children is not innate, but rather impelled by an outside force: the souls of the dead are eager to be reincarnated.
