Baker Mayfield

TB Quarterback #6

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield as a sore leg, but that he thinks he will be good to go for Week 14 against the Raiders.

We don’t quite know when Mayfield suffered his injury, as the veteran quarterback was cleated by a defender on one play and had his ankle twisted on another in Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers’ win over the Panthers. Regardless, Mayfield was able to finish the game and appears to be on early track to play in Week 14 against the Raiders. Bowles said he’s unsure how much Mayfield will practice this week, so it’s possible the team gives him some added rest in what will be a pivotal Week 14 matchup for the 6-6 Buccaneers.
Taysom Hill

NO Tight End #7

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports tests confirmed that Saints TE Taysom Hill will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury.

It’s a torn ACL for Hill, who had to be carted off the field in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. The Saints will be without their do-it-all player for their final five games of the season. Hill didn’t do much as a pass this season, throwing for just 21 yards and one interception, but does finish the year with a rushing line of 39-279-6, and a receiving line of 23-187-0. Set to turn 35 before the start of next season, Hill is under contract for one more year and will likely have his deal restructured before the start of next season when the Saints do their annual salary cap gymnastics.
Josh Downs

IND Wide Receiver #1

Colts coach Shane Steichen is unsure if Josh Downs (shoulder) will return after the team’s Week 14 bye.

Steichen said center Ryan Kelly has a “good chance” to return after the team’s bye week but was non-committal on Downs’ return. The second-year receiver missed Sunday’s game against the Patriots due to a shoulder injury he suffered in Week 12, but may need more time to recover before returning to the field. The Colts’ passing game was slowed by the absence of Downs, as their wide receivers combined to catch just seven passes for 58 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. Alec Pierce wound up leading the team in snaps from the slot, with eight, but that’s not where he’s been best utilized over his career. Downs’ return in Week 15 would be a welcomed one as the Colts make a postseason push. We’ll see how things look at the start of next week.
Bucky Irving

TB Running Back #7

Bucky Irving said he’s feeling better a day after injuring his hip in Week 13’s win over the Panhters.

Irving injured his hip during a kickoff return and, according to Buccaneers beat writer Rick Stroud, “labored to walk to the locker room after the game.” Irving managed to finish out the game, rushing 25 times for 152 yards — both season highs — while also finding the end zone for the third consecutive game. This may be something that lands Irving on the team’s injury report this week, but it doesn’t sound like he’s at risk of missing Week 14’s game against the Raiders.
Azeez Al-Shaair

HOU Linebacker #0

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports “it is now anticipated that Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair will be suspended” for the hit he put on Trevor Lawrence in Week 13’s win over the Jaguars.

Schefter added that “the only question is for how long” Al-Shaair could be suspended. The Texans linebacker delivered a brutal shot to the head of a sliding Lawrence on Sunday that immediately placed the quarterback in the league’s concussion protocol. It wasn’t the first time a hit by Al-Shaair was drawn into question, as so many pointed out via social media. Al-Shaair posted an apology to Lawrence on Monday, we’ll see if that bears any weight on whatever punishment the league decides to hand down in the coming days.
Aaron Rodgers

NYJ Quarterback #8

Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Aaron Rodgers will remain the team’s starting quarterback.

Ulbrich was asked if Rodgers’ status as the Jets’ QB1 was on a week-to-week basis, to which he said, “No, he’s our quarterback.” We shouldn’t expect Ulbrich to say anything different. This is, after all, Aaron Rodgers, who we are talking about here. Regardless of what Ulbrich says, there’s little reason to believe Rodgers is locked in as the Jets’ starter for the team’s final five games of the season. The Jets are 3-9, and a significant portion of the blame has justifiably fallen on the veteran quarterback’s performance. Barring an unexpected change, Rodgers will get the start in Week 14 against the Dolphins, but this is situation is probably more week-to-week than Ulbrich will ever admit.
Amari Cooper

BUF Wide Receiver #18

Amari Cooper caught all three targets for 12 yards in the Bills’ Week 13 win over the 49ers.

The low target and yardage totals were overshadowed by a highlight play in the third quarter, where Cooper made a stunning catch before lateraling the football to quarterback Josh Allen for the touchdown. The play will go down in history as a contributor to the only time a quarterback has thrown a touchdown, caught a touchdown, and rushed for a touchdown in the same game. Cooper continues to work his way into the offense after being acquired near the trade deadline, with his next opportunity to return meaningful counting stats coming against the Rams in Week 14.
Khalil Shakir

BUF Wide Receiver #10

Khalil Shakir caught 4-of-7 targets for 30 yards in the Bills’ Week 13 win over the 49ers.

While the 41.2% target market share from Josh Allen feels impressive, Shakir managed just 30 yards through the air on a night both teams were forced to fight through lake effect snow in Buffalo. Shakir continues to be the most reliable pass-catcher for Allen but is never going to play more than a standard slot snap rate considering his diminutive size. Up next for Shakir and the Bills are the Rams in Week 14.
James Cook

BUF Running Back #4

James Cook rushed 14 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Bills’ Week 13 win over the 49ers, adding 13 yards on one reception.

The highlight of Cook’s evening came on a 65-yard touchdown run down the right sideline in the second quarter, which paved the way for Ray Davis to notch 11 carries of his own. Cook needed only 14 carries to surpass 100 yards on the ground after his long touchdown run, something that fantasy managers have grown to understand of Cook in Buffalo in that he is never really counted on for massive volume but always carries game-breaking upside. Cook’s next chance to return a viable fantasy week comes against the Rams in Week 14.
Josh Allen

BUF Quarterback #17

Josh Allen completed 13-of-17 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills’ 35-10, Week 13 win over the 49ers, adding 18 yards and a touchdown on three carries and catching a seven-yard touchdown.

Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw a touchdown, rush for a touchdown, and catch a touchdown in the convincing win. The receiving touchdowns go down without a reception after Allen completed a pass to Amari Cooper, who lateraled the football back to Allen after being held up at the seven. Allen did the rest as he dove to the front pylon. He would then achieve history in the fourth quarter, hitting the trifecta on an eight-yard touchdown plunge in driving snow. All and the Bills have rattled off seven consecutive wins to remain one game back of the Conference-leading Chiefs.
