Kyle Pitts - TE

Atlanta Falcons

Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said Kyle Pitts is “a big part” of the team’s offense.

Added 3:20 pm (EST) AJC.com

Pitts, who hasn’t seen more than five targets in a game since the middle of October, most recently ran a route on just 66 percent of the Falcons’ drop backs in Week 12, catching both of his targets for 22 yards. Smith said MyCole Pruitt and Parker Hesse were better fits for what the Falcons were trying to do against the Saints last Sunday (run the ball). In the run-first Atlanta offense, Pitts is not a viable fantasy option in 12-team leagues. Maybe next year.

M. Maye - DB

Marcus Maye (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.

Defensive end Cameron Jordan also sat out of Wednesday’s practice. He is dealing with an ankle issue. Both players have started every game they have been active for this year. Jordan has two sacks and a fumble recovery while Maye has a pair of interceptions plus a sack. Losing both for Week 13 would make the Saints a slightly easier matchup for Detroit.

R. Shaheed - WR

Rashid Shaheed (thigh) did not practice Wednesday.

Shaheed reportedly avoided a major quad injury, but the issue, suffered in Week 12, is likely to sideline him for at least a week. Chris Olave has a shot at playing despite going down with a concussion last week. With Michael Thomas on injured reserve, A.T. Perry will be the next man up to serve as the Saints’ No. 2 receiver. He is worth a stash in deeper leagues.

J. Jeudy - WR

DEN

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy did not practice on Wednesday.

Despite Jeudy not being on the field on Wednesday, head coach Sean Payton says he believes Jeudy will be fine and able to practice tomorrow. The Broncos should expect to have their number two receiver on Sunday against the Texans.

C. Olave - WR

Chris Olave (concussion) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Olave left Week 12 with a concussion and did not return. Saints coach Dennis Allen told reporters earlier today Olave is now in the league’s concussion protocol. A limited practice to open the week suggests he is already making progress. Though it’s been rare for players to suit up a week after suffering a concussion, a handful of them have done so. Olave could be the next. He would rank as a WR1 versus the Panthers’ struggling defense.

Q. Johnston - WR

LAC

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ribs) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

The rookie injured his ribs in the Chargers’ Week 12 loss to the Ravens but, after the game, head coach Brandon Staley mentioned that the decision for Johnston to not re-enter was his, not the medical staffs. As a result, even if Johnston is back to full practice, there’s no guarantee that he returns the same snap share he saw before Week 12. The first-round pick out of TCU has disappointed this season and should be off the radar in redraft leagues.

C. Claypool - WR

MIA

Chase Claypool (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Calypool underwent a minor knee procedure ahead of Week 11. He has now missed two games because of the surgery but looks to be nearing a return. The Dolphins haven’t had a consistent WR3 at any point this year, and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon. Claypool is not on the fantasy radar, healthy or not.

B. Johnson - WR

DEN

Broncos designated WR Brandon Johnson (hamstring) to return from IR.

Johnson was placed on the IR after Week 8 and now that his four weeks have passes, he’s eligible to begin practicing. This will open up his 21-day window to be activated off the IR and put on the 53-man roster. The second-year pro had eight catches for 122 yards and three touchdowns in seven games prior to getting hurt.

D. Achane - RB

MIA

De’Von Achane (knee) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Achane re-aggravated the knee injury that landed him on injured reserve earlier this year in his Week 11 return. He was held out of Miami’s Week 12 game, but head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters he didn’t suffer any further setbacks and his absence was primarily out of an abundance of caution. That gives him a shot at returning this week, though we won’t know until Friday at the earliest. If active, Achane would rank as a high-variance RB2 versus Washington.
