Dalvin Cook injury update

UPDATE:Cook, so it's unclear how much time he'll mi s, but this is not expected to be a season-ending injury.

Cook , so we'll have to stay tuned for further updates to see what this means for his Week 13 availability. He reportedly with a torn labrum to his other shoulder. His backup, Alexander Mattison, is always among one of the most highly owned handcuff RBs, and we hoped you grabbed him before this week. He'll undoubtedly be the hottest commodity on waivers if he's available in your league because we've seen him explode in two games this season when Cook was out or limited.

If Cook is out, Mattison is our and in heading into a matchup with Detroit. The Lions are the third-worst defense against fantasy Mark McGwire Jersey RBs, so Mattison's upside is realistically the overall RB1 for the week.

Christian McCaffrey injury update

UPDATE:McCaffrey (ankle) is OUT for the season. Chuba Hubbard should be the primary back in Carolina the rest of the way.

McCaffrey injured his left ankle against the Dolphins and . He handled a limited workload against the Dolphins because of his injury, but Matt Rhule said t.

We still identified Chuba Hubbard as a top waiver pickup given the reoccurring injuries CMC deals with. He might not mi s Week 14, but it wouldn't be surprising if Hubbard becomes the starting running back during the fantasy playoffs because of a banged-up CMC.

Ezekiel Elliott injury update

UPDATE:Elliott practiced in full on Monday.

UPDATE 2:Jerry Jones said Ezekiel Elliott (knee) will have a "serious load" on Marco Estrada Jersey Thursday night against New Orleans.

Elliott (knee) is clearly banged up, and the Cowboys are . Elliott lashed out at reports he'd mi s Week 13's Thursday night against the Saints, but it still wouldn't be a shock to see him get fewer carries. This spells bad news for those who spent a first-round draft pick on Elliott in the preseason, but it's good news for those who have stashed Tony Pollard. Like Mattison, Pollard is a back who would probably be starting for a number of teams around the league, and his upside would be phenomenal if Zeke mi sed any game action.

The Cowboys head into a daunting matchup with the New Orleans front-seven, and we rank Zeke as the and . The fact that he's likely to give up even more touches to Pollard is worrisome. That said, if Zeke is ruled out altogether, Pollard would be closer to a mid-tier RB2 with RB1 upside because that would likely mean he'd handle a full workload.

D'Andre Swift injury update

UPDATE:Lions coach Dan Campbell said Mike Fiers Jersey on Monday that it's "" to see Swift playing in Week 13, suggesting this is more "week to week" instead of "day to day."

Swift (shoulder) looked as if he'd suffered a serious injury against the Bears on Thanksgiving, but " so Swift owners can breathe easier. There's even a chance he plays in Week 13 against Minnesota, but we'll see what happens later in the week.

The Vikings were the 11th-worst defense against fantasy RBs Dennis Eckersley Jersey before getting shredded by Elijah Mitchell and Deebo Samuel on the ground, so if Swift plays, we're comfortable playing him, even with limited touches. After all, Jamaal Williams has taken touches from him all year, but Swift's efficiency and explosivene s have kept him firmly as an RB1. He ranks as our and . If Swift is out, Williams should be the recipient of the cla sic Jared Goff dump downs and will likely be ranked as a mid-tier RB2.
