Cedric Tillman

CLE Wide Receiver #19

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Browns ruled out WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) for Week 13 against the Broncos.

Tillman was unable to practice at any point this week, indicating he is still experiencing concussion symptoms. He’ll miss the team’s game against the Broncos and have some additional time to start progressing through the league’s concussion protocol prior to Cleveland’s Week 14 game against the Steelers.
Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

ESPN’s Stephen Holder reports Colts WR Alec Pierce is expected to play in Week 13 against the Patriots.

Pierce followed consecutive no-shows in practice with a full sessions Friday, drawing the questionable tag for Week 13 against the Patriots. His status is suddenly one to follow for the Colts as both Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin have been ruled out. Pierce’s presence likely moves electric rookie Adonai Mitchell into the slot.
Austin Ekeler

WAS Running Back #30

Commanders placed RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) on injured reserve.

Ekeler will not miss the next four games after suffering a devastating concussion in Week 12, making him eligible to return for the season finale in Week 18 against the Cowboys. Brian Robinson will hold down the lead role in the backfield while Jeremy McNichols will likely see his involvement in the offense increased without Ekeler.
J.K. Dobbins

LAC Running Back #27

Chargers placed RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) on injured reserve.

The team has been rather mum with the state of his injured knee, now exposing that the severity is much worse than initially reported. It’s a devastating blow for a player on a one-year prove-it deal following a career mired in injury. Dobbins fell just short of career highs in yards (766) and touchdowns (eight) in 11 games in 2024. While unclear whether the team has designated him for return, there is still an outside chance he returns to finish the regular season before hopefully appearing in the postseason for his new team.
Matt Milano

BUF Linebacker #58

Bills activated LB Matt Milano from injured reserve.

Milano will make his season debut in Week 13 against the 49ers after suffering a torn biceps in training camp. A week of full practices for Milano capped his lengthy recovery process. Now ready to return to the field as a defensive captain, Milano should immediately boost a Buffalo defense allowing just 19.5 points per game through two-thirds of the 2024 season.
Travis Kelce

KC Tight End #87

Travis Kelce caught 7-of-13 targets for 68 yards in Kansas City’s Week 13 win over the Raiders.

He had an uncharacteristic drop over the middle, and only managed three red-zone targets in the contest. One of them, though, he was open on a cover-zero look from the Raiders and Patrick Mahomes simply placed it to the opposite shoulder of what Kelce was looking for. Rough. He’ll be a realistic TE1 against the Chargers in Week 14 but this offense is struggling enough that it is hard to call him much more than that.
DeAndre Hopkins

KC Wide Receiver #8

DeAndre Hopkins caught 4-of-9 targets for 90 yards in Kansas City’s Week 13 win over the Raiders.

He added two long DPI penalties for a total of 46 yards you probably were not compensated for in fantasy. Hopkins’ only real sin in this game was dropping a wide-open catch over the middle of the field on a Patrick Mahomes miracle-scramble. He also one-handed a would-be touchdown out of the back of the end zone in the fourth quarter. Hopkins has not exactly been a league-winner for the Chiefs, being held under 60 yards in his three previous games. He’ll be a bottom-tier WR3 option or good FLEX against the Chargers in Week 14.
Isiah Pacheco

KC Running Back #10

Isiah Pacheco rushed seven times for 44 yards in Kansas City’s Week 13 win over the Raiders.

He added one catch for five yards. Kansas City looked wholly unable to run when they tried in this game, with 13 of their 14 running back carries going for a combined 25 yards. Pacheco’s 34-yarder in the third quarter was both good (clearly salvaged some value for those forced to play him this week) and a little ugly (it didn’t look like he had rediscovered that next gear in the open field yet.) Splitting carries almost down the middle with Kareem Hunt on non-Perine downs and in an offense that is struggling, Pacheco certainly isn’t a must-play in Week 14 without some positive coach quotes about his role growing.
Patrick Mahomes

KC Quarterback #15

Patrick Mahomes completed 26-of-46 passes for 306 yards and one touchdown in Kansas City’s 19-17, Week 13 win over the Raiders.

He’s taken 10 sacks in the last two weeks and the offensive line play was so bad that Joe Thuney, an All-Pro guard, kicked out to left tackle to replace Wanya Morris late in the game. A promising third-quarter drive was derailed by a 17-yard gigasack where he fumbled while backpedaling. Mahomes wasn’t without blame — he missed some open deep balls and it appeared he went to the wrong shoulder on a red zone throw to Travis Kelce, which is a rare miscommunication between those two. But it largely has not been his fault that this operation continues to struggle. A Week 14 matchup with the Chargers will probably remain firmly in fantasy football stayaway territory.
Brock Bowers

LV Tight End #89

Brock Bowers caught 10-of-14 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in Las Vegas’ Week 13 loss to Kansas City.

He also rushed once for two yards. Bowers’ touchdown was slipped by Aidan O’Connell over some underneath defenders in zone. His most impressive play was a one-handed snag through a defensive pass interference call on Trent McDuffie, an extremely respectable Mossing even if there was a bit of a push-off. He’s now five behind Sam LaPorta for the most catches by a rookie tight end in NFL history with six games to play and is locked into a huge role in this offense. He’ll remain one of the few true TE1 overall threats against Tampa Bay in Week 14.
