Highlighted below are some questionable players and their status on the week 12 injury report for Sunday. Just because they are playing doesn’t always mean starting them in your lineup. For example, no one wants 3 touches for 10 yards and the player being forced from the game due to injury aggravation.

It has been reported this will likely nag Barkley through the rest of the season. He looked okay in his return against the Bucs, but was mostly used as a decoy in the early stages of that game. I think this is a game where the offense can explode after offensive coordinator Jason Garett’s firing.
Damien Harris (neck) & Rhamondre Stevenson (knee)
Harris resurfaced on the week 12 injury report this week due to a new neck injury. Both players are looking good to play and due to the Titans being completely depleted on offense, their defense is likely to play a lot of snaps against these two Patriot backs. Both are startable players that are likely to split work just like in the Falcons game.
Kareem Hunt (calf)
Hunt is looking like a lock to return from IR this Sunday against the Ravens on Sunday night football. There is no word on how many snaps he may play, but this team needs him. The wide receiver corps is depleted due to injury and Hunt can help that by running routes out of the slot and backfield.
Marquise Brown (thigh)
Brown is looking like he will return along with QB Lamar Jackson this Sunday against the Browns. He has been a top 10 wideout in average weekly fantasy scoring so he is an automatic start back in your lineup. I do not anticipate any limitations for Hollywood barring any setbacks.
Aaron Jones (knee)
Aaron Jones has one of those rare “true questionable” tags on the Packer’s week 12 injury report. If you have A.J. Dillon, that is the better play against a Rams team that is built more for speed over power. I don’t think Jones will be at 100% if he gets the green light and will not have a great fantasy day if he suits up. It is certain to be a timeshare if both he and Dillon are in.
Antonio Gibson (shin)
Gibson is still nursing a shin injury that began weeks back. Just like in previous games, he is a locked-in starter as it seems he has been able to play through it and perform quite well, too.
Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle)
Patterson seems like he will make his return from an ankle sprain against the Jaguars this week. Even if he is on a snap count, he returns immediately to a flex spot due to the Falcons lack of other playmakers. The Jaguars are an easy matchup for him as well.
