  • LAC Tackle #75
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Chris Hairston (ankle) will return to the starting lineup at left tackle this week.
    Hairston will make his third career start on Ryan Fitzpatrick’s blind side, allowing Andy Levitre to move inside to center as Eric Wood’s replacement. The Bills have done a great job of papering over the O-Line all season.
  • DAL Tight End #87

    Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) is off the injury report and will play in Week 14 against the Bengals.
    Ferguson missed the previous two games after his second concussion of the season in Week 11, clearing the league’s five-step concussion protocol ahead of the team’s Monday Night Football game against the Bengals in Week 14. Expect Ferguson to be back on the field with no limitations as the Cowboys grind towards the end of the season.
  • DAL Wide Receiver #88
    Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is off the injury report and will play in Week 14 against the Bengals.
    Lamb missed practice on Thursday but upgraded to a full participant on both Friday and Saturday, ultimately doing enough to avoid an injury designation for Monday Night Football against the Bengals. Expect Lamb to continue playing through the AC joint injury for the remainder of the season.
  • DAL Cornerback #7
    Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (knee) is questionable for Week 14 against the Bengals.
    Diggs is attempted to return from two missed contests due to a knee injury. Should he be able to suit up, it would be the first time all season in which all three top corners for the Cowboys are active together after DaRon Bland missed the first 11 weeks of the 2024 season. We’ll likely need to wait until 90 minutes prior to kickoff on Monday night to see if that will ultimately transpire.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #1
    Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase (ankle) is off the injury report and will play in Week 14 against the Cowboys.
    Chase popped on the injury report Thursday with an ankle injury but upgraded to a full participant on Friday and Saturday, ultimately entering Week 14 with no injury status. The Cowboys could have all three starting cornerbacks on the field together for the first time this season, but Chase and the vaunted Cincinnati pass offense continue to churn out usable fantasy scores with hefty pass rates. Treat Chase as a locked-in WR1 in Week 14.
  • CIN Defensive Lineman #98
    Bengals ruled out DT Sheldon Rankins (illness) for Week 14 against the Cowboys.
    Rankins has missed the previous two games with an illness and will now miss his third straight, denting the Cincinnati run defense in the process. That is less of an issue against a Cowboys team that has struggled to move the football on the ground, but the team will surely miss his services in the trenches.
  • CIN Tackle #75
    Bengals ruled out OT Orlando Brown Jr. (knee/fibula) for Week 14 against the Cowboys.
    Browns saw his game status move from questionable to doubtful before ultimately being ruled out for the team’s Week 14 Monday Night Football contest against a reeling Cowboys team. He returned from three missed contests in Week 13 only to be inactive again in Week 14. The outcome of the team’s game against the Cowboys could determine whether he is shut down for the remainder of the season.
  • 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.
