Breece Hall, DeVonta Smith, NFL Injury Statuses and Fantasy Impact for Week 13 | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Fantasy football players will not have to worry about Breece Hall’s status for Week 13.

The New York Jets running back was a full participant in practice on Friday ahead of the Sunday afternoon clash with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Philadelphia Eagles might not be as lucky with wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who wasn’t sure of his game status as of Friday afternoon.

Smith, who missed last week’s game, is officially listed as questionable for the Eagles’ showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.

Below is a look at all of the significant injury news affecting NFL Week 13.

Breece Hall Will Play Sunday

Hall discussed his Week 13 status with reporters on Friday, per ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini.

Breece Hall says he feels fine after two days of practice. “Not sore or anything, so I’ll be good” for Sunday. Says he tweaked his knee in the second quarter vs Indy, played through it. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jets?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#Jets</a>

 

The Jets running back did not practice on Wednesday and was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice due to a knee issue.

However, Hall was a full participant in Friday’s practice, a good sign for his availability against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Hall has a good matchup on paper against a Seattle defense that allowed the seventh-most rushing yards to opposing running backs.

However, the Seahawks have been tougher in the last few weeks, as they limited the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12 and Los Angeles Rams in Week 9 under 70 total rushing yards.

Seattle’s rushing defense has not traveled well, though, as it allowed at least 116 rushing yards in each of its four games away from home.

That bodes well for Hall, who has at least 10 carries and 50 rushing yards in each of the last four weeks.

DeVonta Smith Questionable For Clash With Ravens

DeVonta Smith’s Week 13 status is still up in the air.

The Eagles wide receiver is officially listed as questionable, but he was unsure about what the final decision will be on playing against the Ravens.

Smith told reporters that he “still doesn’t know” about his status, per the Philadelphia Inquirer’s EJ Smith.

DeVonta Smith said he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to play this Sunday. Said it’s not up to him, but even if it was, “I still don’t know.” <a href=”https://t.co/ph4KuoJV64″>pic.twitter.com/ph4KuoJV64</a>

 

The Eagles managed without Smith last week thanks to Saquon Barkley’s 255-yard rushing day and A.J. Brown’s 100-yard receiving performance.

However, yards may be harder to come by for Barkley and Brown with the Ravens defense focusing on both of them.

The return of Smith to the Eagles lineup would add another pass-catching threat for Jalen Hurts to work with.

If Smith can’t go, there are no viable fantasy replacements from the Eagles roster. Brown will likely get more targets and tight end Dallas Goedert is widely rostered in fantasy football leagues.

Cleveland’s Jerry Jeudy, Michael Pittman Jr. of the Colts and Quentin Johnston of the Los Angeles Chargers are among the best replacements available off the waiver wire if Smith needs to be replaced.
