Isaac Guerendo

SF Running Back #31

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Isaac Guerendo (foot) plans to play on Thursday against the Rams.

Guerendo logged a limited session on Wednesday after being listed as a DNP on both Monday and Tuesday. The rookie has remained optimistic about his Week 15 availability, but this is something fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on up until inactives are announced 90 minutes before kickoff. If he does play, starting Guerendo would come with obvious risks of reaggravating his injury, but assuming the best, he’d make for a fringe RB1/RB2. Patrick Taylor would slide into the RB2 ranks if Guerendo were to ultimately be held out.
Ladd McConkey

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

McConkey was limited in all three practices last week before being held out of a high-leverage matchup with the Chiefs. Another limited session today means he didn’t suffer any setbacks. It also makes it hard to say whether or not he will suit up for Week 15. If he doesn’t Josh Palmer and Quentin Johnston would both see plenty of targets. Palmer led the team with nine looks last week while Johnston score the Chargers’ lone receiving touchdown.
Bill Belichick

FA Head Coach

ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed a previous report stating the University of North Carolina is “finalizing” a deal to hire Bill Belichick as their next head coach.

The “finalizing” terminology has already been reported by 247 Sports’ Adam Smith, but the fact that this is now being leaked to national reporters puts even more weight behind the rumors. Schefter also added a rather definitive statement to his report, saying, “Belichick is going back to school, to where his father served as an assistant coach in the 1950s.” We fully expect the ink to dry by the end of the week. Belichick was chasing the all-time wins record as an NFL head coach before the Patriots moved on. He needs 15 to take the crown from Don Shula. That will have to wait as the 72-year-old coach is headed to the college ranks for the first time in his career. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him rejoin the NFL in a few years, though it’s fair to wonder how many seasons he has left. Even if Belichick never returns to the pros, the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach will go down as the greatest of all time.
Cedric Tillman

CLE Wide Receiver #19

Cedric Tillman (concussion) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Tillman has missed the past two weeks because of the concussion. He remains in the league’s concussion protocol and will need to get in a full practice before suiting up, but a limited session to open the week has him on track to face the Chiefs. With Jerry Jeudy fully breaking out in his absence, Tillman will return to a No. 2 role at best. Still, Jameis Winston is more than capable of making multiple receivers fantasy-relevant, making Tillman worth the roster spot in all formats.
Isaac Guerendo

SF Running Back #31

Isaac Guerendo (foot) is questionable for Week 15 against the Rams.

Guerendo was held out of the first two practices after suffering a sprained foot in the 49ers’ Week 14 win over the Bears. He returned for a limited session on Wednesday. With both Jordan Mason and Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve, Guerendo was the next man up last week, though that didn’t last long. If he can’t suit up tomorrow, Patrick Taylor will be the latest runner to take over the San Francisco backfield. He would sit in the RB2 ranks with Guerendo out.
Chris Olave

NO Wide Receiver #12

Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi told reporters Chris Olave (concussion) is unlikely to return from injured reserve this week.

Olave is eligible to be activated from injured reserve, but the Saints are nearing the end of a lost season and he has a lengthy concussion history. There’s no reason to rush him back for a few meaningless games. We still expect him to miss the remainder of the season, though Rizzi didn’t rule him out for the year just yet. Marquez Valdes-Scantling will continue to operate as the Saints’ top receiver for at least one more week.
Derek Carr

NO Quarterback #4

Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Derek Carr (concussion/hand) has not been ruled out for Week 15 against the Commanders.

Carr was concussed and suffered a fracture in his non-throwing hand after colliding with Kevin Austin, one of his own receivers, on a scramble in Week 14 against the Giants. He left the game and did not return. Per Rizzi, the hand injury isn’t expected to require surgery but Carr remains in concussion protocol. He will not be placed on injured reserve. Despite the pair of injuries and missing the first practice of the week, Carr was not ruled out for Week 15. Backups Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler split the first-team reps on Wednesday. Though we fully expect Carr to miss Sunday’s game, it sounds like he has a legitimate shot at returning before the end of the season.
Justin Herbert

LAC Quarterback #10

Justin Herbert (ankle/leg) was not seen at the start of Wednesday’s practice.

As expected, Herbert was officially listed as a DNP on the injury report. Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Herbert is dealing with an ankle injury in addition to the leg contusion he suffered in Week 14. Harbaugh noted that this ankle issue is separate from the high-ankle sprain he dealt with earlier in the season. None of that is good news, but Herbert has played through multiple injuries this year and will attempt to do so again this week. Our money is on him suiting up for a phenomenal matchup with the Bucs.
Romeo Doubs

GB Wide Receiver #87

Romeo Doubs (concussion) is practicing in full for Week 15 against the Seahawks.

Per head coach Matt LaFleur, Doubs is still in the league’s concussion protocol. A full practice suggests he is in the final stages of the protocol and will be cleared for Week 15 before the final practice of the week. Doubs’ pace had slowed before his Week 12 concussion, but he was still leading the way in routes for the Packers. Doubs will return to the WR3 ranks once he is removed from the league’s protocols.
Dalton Kincaid

BUF Tight End #86

Dalton Kincaid (knee) is practicing in full for Week 15 against the Lions.

Kincaid was limited in all three practices last week but was held out of Sunday’s game versus the Rams. The extra week off should ensure that the knee issue doesn’t resurface down the road. Kincaid was stringing together low-ceiling TE1 weeks before the injury and should play his usual role in a shootout with Detroit this week. He will sneak back into the TE1 ranks in his first game back.
