  • FA Linebacker #58

    Raiders coach Tom Cable said MLB Kirk Morrison’s elbow injury is a two-week deal.
    Cable also added that Morrison was ahead of Ricky Brown in their battle for the starting middle linebacker job. Assuming Morrison gets back in time for the preseason finale, which Cable said he could, we expect Morrison to be the Week 1 starter. Brown remains a candidate to start on the strong side.
  • KC Wide Receiver #17

    Chiefs placed WR Mecole Hardman (knee) on injured reserve.
    Previous reports indicated that Hardman’s knee “locked up” on him before Friday’s practice, something that now has landed him on injured reserve and will keep him out until at least Week 18. Hardman has been barely utilized in his second stint with the Chiefs, but his schemed usage in the short area could be eaten up by running back Samaje Perine in the meantime.
  • NYJ Running Back #20
    Breece Hall (knee) has been downgraded to out for Week 14 against the Dolphins.
    No surprise here. Hall didn’t practice at all this week and never seemed like he was ready to suit up. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will handle the work in the Jets’ backfield this week with the former as the only usable fantasy option. Allen is in the RB2 conversation this week.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is headed to injured reserve, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
    Goedert was already ruled out for Week 14 against the Panthers, but now he’s set to miss the next four games. Rapoport says the plan is for the 29-year-old tight end to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs, which is a little vague given that Goedert technically could return for the Eagles final game of the regular season against the Giants. In either case, there’s no solace for fantasy managers as Goedert will certainly miss the final weeks of the fantasy season. Grant Calcaterra will see more snaps with Goedert out, but isn’t a recommended fantasy option.
  • ATL Quarterback #18
    Falcons have not had internal discussions about making a change at quarterback, according to Dianna Russini of the Athletic.
    Well, that clears everything up. The Falcons invited external pressure to make a change at quarterback the second they selected Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. That Atlanta had to leak to Russini that they aren’t talking about making a change after Kirk Cousins’ latest interception-filled meltdown says it all. Their “Not talking about making a change at quarterback” shirt will only raise questions already answered by their shirt.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    Tee Higgins told reporters he is “looking forward to” learning more about maintaining healthy hamstrings this offseason.
    Higgins has suffered at least seven recorded hamstring injuries in his playing career and is scheduled to hit free agency once the 2024 season wraps up, potentially providing extra motivation to deal with his nagging soft tissue issues. When speaking with reporters today, Higgins specifically brought up Christian Watson’s successful 2024 offseason in which Watson spent time at the University of Wisconsin undergoing rigorous testing and creating a prophylactic training program to address his own recurring hamstring issues. Watson had strained his right hamstring four times in two seasons. He’s missed one game thus far this season, due to a sprained ankle. Following Watson’s lead could significantly pay off down the road for Higgins.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    Ladd McConkey (shoulder/knee) is questionable for Week 14 against the Chiefs.
    McConkey was clearly laboring through his shoulder injury last week, though it wasn’t affecting his box score. The rookie had nine grabs for 117 yards before exiting with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Head coach Jim Harbaugh was non-committal on McConkey’s availability early in the week, but he at least managed to get in three limited practices before drawing the questionable tag. He appears to be on the right side of questionable heading into the weekend, but fantasy managers will want to check the Chargers’ inactive before kickoff. The combo of injuries will move McConkey down the ranks for Week 14, but not far enough to push him outside of the top 20 receivers.
  • SF Defensive End #97
    Nick Bosa (hip, obliques) is doubtful for Week 14 against the Bears.
    It appears as though Bosa’s sore abdomen will keep him out at least one more week, which is good news for the Bears’ revitalized passing offense. Caleb Williams should throw from decently comfortable pockets on Sunday afternoon.
  • SF Tackle #71
    49ers ruled out LT Trent Williams (ankle) for Week 14 against the Bears.
    The decision to allow Williams to play through his ankle injury earlier this year is aging very poorly. The 49ers’ LT was observed using a knee scooter to get around the locker room last week. Hopefully, he is able to make a healthy return soon.
  • DAL Tight End #87
    Jake Ferguson (concussion) practiced in full on Friday.
    Fantasy managers should expect Ferguson to take the field for the Cowboys’ Week 14 Monday Night Football game against the Bengals. After two games off, the capable tight end should be ready to handle a TE1-worthy workload.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #15
    Demarcus Robinson (hand) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 14 against the Bills.
    Sean McVay told reporters earlier in the week that he expected Robinson to play through the hand issue, so this doesn’t come as a surprise. Robinson isn’t heavily involved in the Rams’ passing attack but does find the end zone surprisingly often. He has six scores over his past six games and will remain a boom/bust WR5 for his matchup with Buffalo.
