The tricep injury, suffered in Week 13 against the Cowboys, is what will prevent Taylor from playing this week if he is ruled out. A DNP today puts him on the wrong side of questionable for now. Right guard Trey Smith missed Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury. Left tackle Josh Simmons underwent wrist surgery and was placed on injured reserve. That’s three starting linemen unlikely to play or explicitly ruled out for a must-win game versus Houston. Expect Patrick Mahomes to get the bal ...03 December 2025
At this point, anything other than a DNP to open the week is a good sign for Jackson. The beleaguered quarterback has been listed with four different injuries throughout the year. He hasn’t missed a game in over a month, but the maladies have taken their toll on his numbers. Jackson hasn’t run for more than 50 yards in a game since Week 1. His passing stats have also fallen compared to 2024. The rushing decline, in particular, has Jackson barely on the QB1 radar for Week 14 versus the Steele ...03 December 2025
Bateman returned from his high-ankle sprain last week but failed to secure his only target of the night on Thanksgiving. With Lamar Jackson’s otherworldly efficiency taking a major step back this year, Bateman’s boom/bust fantasy profile has resulted in almost exclusively busts this year. Bateman is buried in the WR6 ranks for Week 14.03 December 2025
Godwin led the Buccaneers with 78 receiving yards last week, but the pass-catching corps could get a whole lot more crowded this week. Both WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday after the team activated their 21-day practice window. Godwin remains FLEX-viable, but could struggle to increase his reception volume.

The Buccaneers no longer list Irving with a foot injury, which is great news. The 23-year-old running back triumphantly totaled 81 scrimmage yards, two receptions and one touchdown in his return last week. He can be treated as an RB1 against the Saints in Week 14.03 December 2025
Watt limped off the field in the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ Week 13 loss to the Bills. He was checked out by trainers and did not return. A DNP today puts him at risk of missing Week 14. Patrick Queen, who suffered a glute injury versus Buffalo, was also held out of Wednesday’s practice. It looks like a Pittsburgh defense that was already underperforming this year could be down multiple starters versus the Ravens this week.03 December 2025
Mayfield made it through Week 13, but his non-throwing-shoulder injury is negatively impacting him. Fortunately, he faces the Saints in Week 14. With WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) practicing once again, Mayfield could steady himself as a low-end QB1.03 December 2025
McMillan is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in re-draft leagues, potentially vying for targets against WR Chris Godwin (fibula) and WR Mike Evans (collarbone), if all players are active against the Saints this weekend. McMillan does give QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) another target to rely on, though.03 December 2025
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters earlier this week that Daniels has not yet been cleared for contact. He was, however, “ripping” throws, in Quinn’s own words. Daniels may need to be upgraded to a full participant in practice before getting the green light to return to action. Marcus Mariota will draw the start versus Minnesota if Daniels remains out. Mariota would be a mid-range QB2 once again.03 December 2025
Brown managed a full practice last Thursday. The team then gave him the day off on Friday and ruled him out. That was likely part of their plan to ramp him up to speed. He should have a good chance at returning this week. With Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin both healthy, Brown will return to a part-time role.03 December 2025
Slay was released by Pittsburgh earlier this week. The move was described as a mutual parting of ways. Slay opened the year as a starter for the Steelers but was eventually relegated to backup duties. He was even made a healthy scratch late in his Steelers tenure. Slay doesn’t have much left in the tank, but he is at least a useful depth option for Buffalo.03 December 2025
Jacobs took a shot from Lions DB Brian Branch in Week 13 and limped off the field for a quick check in the blue medical tent. He returned without missing much time and finished the day with 18 touches for 91 yards. The fact that he wasn’t listed as a DNP today is a good sign. Jacobs should be good to go by Sunday, keeping him in the RB1 mix versus the Bears.03 December 2025
Dike has delivered volatile results while playing through small injuries in recent weeks. Although his limited session on Wednesday puts him on track to play, he faces the Browns’ elite defense in Week 14. He is not a recommended FLEX starter.03 December 2025
Lloyd has been on injured reserve the entire year. He went down with a hamstring issue a few weeks before the start of the season and has been out ever since. The Packers will likely give him a week or two to ramp up to game speed. Even when he is healthy, we expect Emanuel Wilson to operate as Josh Jacobs’ backup.03 December 2025
Reed remains on injured reserve while recovering from the pair of injuries that knocked him out early in the year. He returned to practice just ahead of Week 12 and was limited for all three sessions last week. Reed should be close to getting back on the field, but there’s no guarantee that happens this week. Given the Packers’ low-volume approach through the air, our fantasy expectations for Reed will be kept in check whenever he does retake the field.03 December 2025
A limited session is nothing to worry about for Wicks. He should have no issues suiting up this week. Coming off a two-score, 94-yard effort versus the Lions, fantasy expectations will be high for Wicks this week. He could work his way into the WR3 ranks if Matthew Golden remains out. Golden was limited in today’s practice and appears to be questionable for Week 14 as of Wednesday.03 December 2025
Evans has a chance to suit up in Week 14 against the division-rival Saints. It is possible that he will need to shake off rust following a prolonged absence, but Evans can be started as a WR3 if he is able to suit up this weekend. Hopefully, he can resume practicing fully tomorrow. Stay tuned.03 December 2025
Washington went to the ground while fielding a punt in the second quarter of Week 13. He was helped off the field and listed as questionable to return. The team later downgraded him to out. A DNP today suggests he will miss Week 14’s game against the Colts. Dyami Brown was a healthy scratch last week but could get back in the mix on Sunday. Tim Patrick and Austin Trammell are depth options who could see some extra run for the Jags this week.03 December 2025
This is a new injury for Brown. The fact that he is practicing fully is a good sign, but it is worth keeping an eye on his practice participation tomorrow. The Bengals’ lead back has totaled 100-plus scrimmage yards in six straight games. He can be expected to produce fantasy-friendly results against the Bills’ lacking run defense this weekend.03 December 2025
Little sustained a concussion in the first half of the Jags’ Week 13 win over the Titans. The team ruled him out after halftime. Cole Van Lanen took his spot in the lineup. Van Lanen has taken snaps at every offensive line position but center this year, meaning the Jags have some flexibility in addressing Little’s likely absence this week.
