Johnston is on track to play this week, despite being listed with a new injury. The streaky perimeter wide receiver remains a weekly FLEX candidate, and his team’s Week 14 game against the Eagles should be a fantasy-friendly environment. Hopefully, he practices fully tomorrow.04 December 2025
The Lions will announce the official inactive list shortly, but for now, it appears as though they will have their star slot receiver on the field for their Thursday Night Football game against the Cowboys. St. Brown should be in fantasy lineups if active.04 December 2025
Demercado could regain his No. 2 role behind fill-in starting RB Bam Knight if he can play this weekend. Unfortunately, his potential return comes against the Rams’ top-tier defense. Demercado may be able to catch a few passes in a trailing game script, but it is tough to view him as a player with much of a ceiling.04 December 2025
The unstoppable touchdown scorer is on track to play in Week 14 against the Cardinals this weekend. Adams has played through injuries already this season. Even if he were to be limited as an open-field player, the Rams will feature him in scoring position. He is a WR1 if active, as expected.

Williams told reporters, post-game, that “his ankle is good because he had scar tissue from a previous injury that helped him when he was rolled up on.” Talk about looking on the bright side. Regardless, Williams is on track to face the Cardinals this weekend with No. 2 RB Blake Corum frequently rotating in. Williams is a borderline RB1/2.04 December 2025
Bryant seemingly suffered a hamstring strain in today’s practice. Mid-week additions to the injury report are never a good sign. The third-round rookie has been more involved on game day, as of late, earning 13 targets over the last two weeks. Hopefully, he can rehab the injury quickly and get back to honing his craft.04 December 2025
Smith’s practice participation puts him on track to be sacked repeatedly by the Broncos’ pass rush this weekend. Fortunately, the Broncos tend to allow opposing tight ends to produce in the receiving game, so Smith has low-end QB2 hope despite the tough matchup. Hopefully, Smith practices fully again tomorrow.04 December 2025
Little remains sidelined for the Jaguars’ second practice, putting Week 14 availability even more in doubt than it was yesterday. He is backed up by versatile OG Cole Van Lanen. The Jaguars face a Colts defender missing DT DeForest Buckner (neck) this week.04 December 2025
Taylor picked up the triceps injury in Week 13 against the Cowboys. He has missed both practices since then. The Chiefs are already without LT Josh Simmons (wrist) and RG Trey Smith (ankle) has also been sidelined over the last two days. The Chiefs face the Texans’ elite pass-rush unit on Sunday.04 December 2025
It sure looks like rookie RB Devin Neal will start for the Saints once again. Kamara has not practiced since spraining an MCL in Week 12 against the Falcons. The team chose not to put Kamara on injured reserve, so we expect him to return either in Week 15 or Week 16. Stay tuned.04 December 2025
Bateman was already off the FLEX radar, given his recent play and the Ravens’ struggles. His downgrading only furthers that notion. Bateman still has a chance to play, but he is clearly still rehabbing his high-ankle sprain. Having him on the field would at least be helpful for QB Lamar Jackson (ankle).04 December 2025
Sampson appears to be highly unlikely to play in Week 14 against the Titans, elevating RB Jerome Ford to the No. 2 role. Ford does not need to be in fantasy lineups, having lost his job to Sampson earlier this year with ineffectual play. Expect Quinshon Judkins to handle a sizable workload.04 December 2025
Njoku continues to play through his knee injury as rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr.'s fantasy-unfriendly backup. Njoku does not need to be rostered in re-draft formats, though he technically could be considered one of the rare tight end stash options.04 December 2025
Lloyd was placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. He is, almost unbelievably, now rehabbing a calf injury. Lloyd is a very capable player, but he is tough to trust as a bench stash at this point. Fellow backup RB Emanuel Wilson has proven himself as a reliable backup, and he would likely be in line to start if Josh Jacobs were to miss time. Stashing Lloyd is a bet on talent, not health.04 December 2025
We were hoping to see Reed upgrade to full participation. He still has a chance to play, but one imagines the Packers will ask him to practice fully before allowing him to retake the field after a prolonged absence. It all comes down to Friday’s official injury report. Stay tuned.04 December 2025
The Packers continue to limit Wicks’ practice reps after a busy Week 13 showing against the Lions, in which Wicks caught 6-of-7 targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns. He seemingly injured his left ankle on one of his touchdown grabs, but it did not slow him down. We expect Wicks to play in Week 14 against the Bears.04 December 2025
After being designated to return yesterday, Chandler opened the week with a limited session. A full practice would seem to signal that he can be ready sooner rather than later. With Aaron Jones banged up, it’s possible Chandler finds a small role on Sunday. He would not be a real fantasy option at this point.04 December 2025
It’s his first return to practice since hurting his ankle against the Packers late in Week 12’s game. Offensive linemen tend to play more often than most positions when given limited statuses, so it’s possible this leads to Jackson being active in Week 14. He’ll likely be on the questionable line on Friday.04 December 2025
He seems to be trending towards playing after leaving Week 13’s game with a re-aggravation of his shoulder injury from earlier in the season. Jones may even avoid the questionable line after posting back-to-back limited sessions. He’d be a reasonable low-end RB2 play against the Commanders if he’s active and ready to go.04 December 2025
Jacobs bruised a bone in his knee in Week 11 against the Giants and sat out in Week 12. He returned in Week 13, logging 18 touches against the Lions. Two limited sessions to begin the week are unsurprising. The Packers are smartly allowing their starting running back to get healthy as they eye a playoff run. He should be good to go for Week 14 against the Bears.
