Barner totaled five and four targets, respectively, over the last two weeks. He occasionally lines up as the quarterback on the Seahawks’ tush-push attempts. He is likely to handle a similar workload this week against the Falcons, making him a touchdown-dependent TE1.05 December 2025
He was limited on both Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday’s practice. We’d probably paint Washington as a true game-time decision here, but he’s faded out of the pecking order with Brenton Strange healthy and Jakobi Meyers back, so he’s not someone worth holding up your FLEX decision for if you have other options. Washington managed just a 1/26 line on three targets before leaving Week 14’s game with the hip injury, and has been held under 40 yards in three of his last four ga ...05 December 2025
Walker hasn’t played since Week 11, but was able to get in two limited sessions this week and appears to be trending towards a return in a must-win AFC South top-of-division showdown with the Colts. The pass rusher has had a somewhat disappointing year to this point with just 2.5 sacks in nine games.05 December 2025
The same can be said for Seahawks DT Jarran Reed (wrist/thumb), who is also on injured reserve. The team must make the requisite roster moves by 1:00 pm tomorrow in order for Love and Reed to play. The Seahawks ruled out WR Dareke Young (quadriceps). He remains on injured reserve.05 December 2025
Little did not practice all week. Cole Van Lanen would seem likely to take over at left tackle in Week 14. The Jaguars also ruled out S Andrew Wingard with a concussion of his own.05 December 2025
Lloyd got in three limited sessions and seems to not yet be close to returning. He was designated to return earlier this week and is probably more of a threat to return in Week 16 or Week 17. When he does come back, he’ll just be Josh Jacobs’ caddy — if that — after Emanuel Wilson’s impressive performance in Jacobs’ absence against the Vikings.05 December 2025
Against the Bears, he’ll be a candidate to finish RB1 overall on the slate — even if TJ Edwards and Noah Sewell are back for this one — based on volume and Chicago’s trouble stopping the run. Jacobs got in a full session on Friday for the first time since his knee injury popped up and that’s a good sign for his workload going forward.05 December 2025
The Athletic’s Daniel Popper observed Hampton wearing “a blue jersey and participating in [a] red zone walkthrough” early on, which was a good sign for his involvement in scoring position whenever he gets activated. The fact that Hampton ended up practicing fully is a great sign for his Week 14 availability. He is on the positive side of questionable at this time.05 December 2025
Golden got in three limited practices this week despite Matt LaFleur saying there was a real chance he’d play early in the week. The practice pattern has looked virtually indistinguishable from what has been the norm for Golden of late. Golden last played in Week 11 and last was fantasy-useful in Week 5. Even if he plays, he’d be hard to start at this point.05 December 2025
Great news. Johnston is firmly on track to play in the Charges’ Monday Night Football game against the Eagles in Week 14. Johnston tends to rely on touchdowns and explosive gains to return FLEX value, making his floor a bit shaky. This game’s overall environment should be fairly fantasy-friendly, though. Expect the Chargers to give him a few opportunities to produce chunk gains, either via screen passes or shots downfield.05 December 2025
He was a limited participant all week. Reed is still, per Matt LaFleur, “going through the process of being fully cleared medically.” That doesn’t mean the Packers won’t activate him, but between the lack of a full practice and that update, we’d certainly put him on the pessimistic side of questionable. Reed not playing would be good news for Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.05 December 2025
We’d be surprised if he did anything close to what he did on Thanksgiving against the Bears, but perhaps the 24-year-old has turned over a new leaf with this offense. He’s still a FLEX play at best. The Packers also ruled out WR Savion Williams (foot), who did not practice all week.05 December 2025
We’ve crossed the Terron Armstead threshold with three injury designations, good work by Brewer. The knee is the newest injury he’s dealing with, but Brewer is expected to play after being limited in a few sessions this week. The center has taken a major step forward this year with a 80.2 PFF grade, the highest in his career.05 December 2025
Chiefs RG Trey Smith (ankle) is also doubtful, and Chiefs LT Josh Simmons (wrist) was recently placed on injured reserve. The Texans’ pass rush generates pressure at the NFL’s second-highest rate (42.4 percent). This is a tough break for QB Patrick Mahomes. Expect him to funnel targets to WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce on short routes.05 December 2025
He practiced in full on Friday for the first time this week. The rookie back can be started as a low-end RB2 — he has a good role, but the Chiefs are a good enough run defense that they create a pass funnel, and the Texans have struggled to give him any touchdown equity with a rough red zone offense.05 December 2025
He practiced in full on Friday and should be fine. In IDP leagues, it would be a disappointment if Anderson did not provide at least a half-sack or so against a Chiefs offensive line that looks likely to be down several starter.05 December 2025
He got in a limited session on Friday after two DNPs, and the Texans were reportedly (per Aaron Wilson) optimistic that he’ll play on Sunday. It would be good news for Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy if Lassiter sat, as he’s complied a 73.9 PFF coverage grade in 721 snaps this season.05 December 2025

He has one game over four targets or 60 yards this year — Week 3’s loss against the Ravens — and Baltimore’s passing offense can’t support many fantasy mouths with how Lamar Jackson is currently playing. Even healthy and with a good matchup, you’d have to really contort things to see a reason to play Bateman in fantasy this week.05 December 2025
Dike has been quite the volatile scorer as of late. In his late six games, he has finished as the half-PPR WR15-18 three times. In his other three showings, he finished as the WR75 or worse. Facing the Browns’ elite defense, he makes for a very risky FLEX option.
