As Week 12 of the NFL season approaches, teams finalize their rosters and provide updates on player statuses. Inactive lists play a crucial role in setting fantasy football lineups. This week’s updates highlight key players who may influence fantasy outcomes.
Josh Jacobs and Chris Godwin Jr. Status Update
Josh Jacobs, the running back for the Green Bay Packers, is dealing with a knee injury. Given the close proximity to Thanksgiving games, there’s a possibility that Jacobs may not play this week. A final decision is expected just before kickoff.
On the other hand, Chris Godwin Jr. from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is also part of the inactive discussions, although specific injuries weren’t reported. Fantasy managers will need to keep an eye on updates for both players.
Key Player Inactive Updates

- Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots (toe): Anticipated to play despite concerns from fantasy owners about TreVeyon Henderson.
- Aaron Rodgers, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers (wrist): Uncertain status; Mason Rudolph may start if Rodgers needs more recovery time.
- Kenneth Walker III, RB, Seattle Seahawks (back): Listed as questionable, but expected to be available.
- Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons (knee): With Michael Penix Jr. out, other receivers may step up.
Other Notable Injuries and Updates
