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.

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.05 December 2025
This game determines which team takes over first place in the AFC North. Both squads are 6-6. Rodgers practiced fully on Thursday and Friday, which is positive. He does not need to be in single-quarterback lineups, though, profiling as a low-end superflex QB2 at best.05 December 2025
Steelers LB Patrick Queen (glute) will also play. Watt took the day off on Wednesday before practicing fully thereafter. Queen did the same to begin the week but only managed limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. Watt has generated 39 quarterback pressures and eight sacks, while Queen has racked up 58 tackles. Having both players active is helpful.05 December 2025
Fuaga played in Week 13, but appears to have injured his other ankle — this is not the same ankle he was on the report for earlier in the year — somewhere along the way despite playing 100 percent of the snaps.05 December 2025
Godwin practiced fully on Thursday before logging a limited session on Friday. We suspect this was just rest. Godwin and rookie WR Emeka Egbuka will again operate as the team’s top-two wide receivers, with WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) having been ruled out. Godwin with a FLEX.05 December 2025
He suffered a knee injury in Week 13, one that Kellen Moore said will “not send him to injured reserve.” But it doesn’t appear that Reid will be back any time soon. Terrell Burgess will likely be called upon for most of the snaps at safety on Sunday.05 December 2025
Just one week ago, Mayfield’s availability was in question. He played through the AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder last week, albeit in pain, but he is once again ready to roll for game day. The Buccaneers’ quarterback practiced fully on consecutive days to close the week. He can be treated as a borderline QB1/2. Unfortunately, WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) will not play.05 December 2025
Irving totaled 19 touches in his first game back from a lengthy injury, finishing as the half-PPR RB14. It was a promising showing. Irving can be treated as a trusted RB1 against the Saints this weekend, once again operating as the Buccaneers’ clear-cut lead back.
