    Bills RG Kraig Urbik has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Patriots with a torn meniscus that will require surgery.
    The plan is to move forward with Colin Brown to finish the season. Demetrius Bell and TE Mike Caussin also suffered knee injuries and are not expected to play in next week’s game. Rookie Chris Hairston is in line for his seventh start at left tackle in place of Bell.
  • JAX Running Back #1
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Travis Etienne rushed four times for 20 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 14 win over the Titans, adding four catches for 50 yards.
    The Jaguars’ backfield split saw Etienne take receiving opportunities while Tank Bigsby dominated rushing opportunities. Etienne was the first running back into the game, but quickly ceded carries to Bigsby throughout the game. He was the target on multiple Mac Jones checkdowns, totaling 50 yards on four catches. With the Jags backfield continuing to look like a committee, Etienne’s fantasy ceiling is capped. His receiving prowess makes Etienne a high-end RB3 for Week 14 against the Jets.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #17
    Xavier Legette caught 2-of-8 targets for 39 yards in Carolina’s Week 14 loss to the Eagles.
    He had two third-down targets jarred from him, one by Darius Slay and the other by C.J. Gardner-Johnson. To cap it off, he point-blank dropped what looked to be a go-ahead touchdown from Bryce Young with less than a minute remaining. Legette has settled into the No. 2 receiver role with Jalen Coker down, but he sure hasn’t done much with it so far. He hasn’t cleared 60 yards since Week 4. Legette profiles as a TD-or-bust FLEX against Dallas in Week 15.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #19
    Adam Thielen caught 9-of-11 targets for 102 yards in Carolina’s Week 14 loss to the Eagles.
    He was Bryce Young’s go-to receiver, leading the team in targets and converting one fourth-down catch on a tipped pass that happened to rebound right to him. Thielen and Young look like they’re on enough of a mind-meld for Thielen to remain a ROS WR3 at this point, as he’s gone for 17 catches and 201 yards over the last two weeks. Thielen should stick on that WR3 line again next week against the Cowboys.
  • JAX Running Back #4
    Tank Bigsby rushed 18 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars’ Week 14 win over the Titans, adding one catch for seven yards.
    Bigsby shared a backfield rotation with Travis Etienne, getting the bulk of the carries while Etienne saw the greater pass-catching usage. He didn’t break a big run with an inefficient 3.1 yards per carry, but ran hard through defenders all game. Bigsby’s touchdown run saw him stiff-arm a Titans defender on an eight-yard run the Jaguars the lead and eventual win. With Bigsby’s usage picking back up, the Jaguars backfield is a split. Bigsby is an RB3 play for Week 14 against the Jets.
  • CAR Running Back #30
    Chuba Hubbard rushed 26 times for 92 yards and a touchdown in Carolina’s Week 14 loss to the Eagles.
    He added four catches for 15 yards on five targets. Already staked to a big role, Jonathon Brooks’ injury made the backfield 100 percent Hubbard. He was more of an efficient runner than an explosive one, with only three negative runs all day — one of which was because Bryce Young tripped on third-and-goal — and a long of just 15. Hubbard will be on the RB1/RB2 borderline in Week 15 against the Cowboys given the volume and Dallas’ up-and-down run defense.
  • JAX Quarterback #10
    Mac Jones completed 23-of-31 passes for 220 yards and two interceptions in the Jaguars’ 10-6, Week 14 win over the Titans.
    The Jaguars won a quick divisional matchup against the Titans by scoring all 10 of their points in the fourth quarter. Mac Jones got the start with Trevor Lawrence out for the season, committing a pair of turnovers in the first half. His first interception was in Titans territory while the second was a pressured throw tipped by Tank Bigsby to the defender at the end of the half. Jones ultimately got quick throws going to Brian Thomas in the second half to drive the Jaguars downfield for a field goal and touchdown. Not much was needed from the Jags offense this game and Jones is merely in the QB3 mix against the Jets for Week 14.
  • CAR Quarterback #9
    Bryce Young completed 19-of-34 passes for 191 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Carolina’s 22-16, Week 14 loss to the Eagles.
    He added seven carries for 29 yards. With 52 seconds left, Young reared and found Xavier Legette downfield for what looked like a go-ahead touchdown. But Legette could not complete the catch, and the Eagles stalled out as a delay of game penalty put them behind the sticks. Young has genuinely taken a turn the last few weeks and again looked better than the box score here, with a few deep passes going incomplete on poor efforts by his receivers. Adam Thielen has been the only dependable receiver the Panthers have set him up with. Young is set up for another date on the QB2 line against the Cowboys in Week 15.
  • TEN Quarterback #8
    Will Levis completed 19-of-32 passes for 168 yards in the Titans’ 10-6, Week 14 loss to the Jaguars.
    The Titans offense struggled against a subpar Jaguars defense, with Will Levis averaging 5.3 yards per attempt. Most of Levis’ throws were short-yardage looks while two red zone trips ended in overthrows to the endzone on fourth down. He notably injured his shoulder while getting sacked on a hail mary attempt on the last play of the first half. Levis returned to start the second half, but it is an injury to keep an eye on as it was Levis’ right shoulder that he also injured earlier this season. Ultimately, Levis’ performance was mediocre with little downfield throws, no scores, and a couple near-interceptions. If he is healthy for Week 15, Levis ranks as a back-end QB2 against the leaky Bengals defense.
  • TB Running Back #7
    Bucky Irving (back) is doubtful to return in Week 14 against the Raiders.
    Irving left in the first half with the back issue and was listed as questionable to return. He returned to the sideline after halftime with a heating pad on his back, seemingly trying to get back in the game. His return never materialized and it’s safe to assume he is done for the day. Irving ends the week with four carries for three yards and a catch for 15 yards. His status for Week 15 versus the Chargers is obviously in doubt now.
  • LV Quarterback #12
    Aidan O’Connell was carted off the field with an apparent leg injury in Week 14 against the Bucs.
    O’Connell was shoved to the ground after throwing a pass while scrambling to his right. The hit, which should have been a penalty, was delivered by Bucs defensive tackle Calijah Kancey. O’Connell tumbled to the ground and stayed down in obvious pain for a while. The training staff eventually placed his leg in an air cast and he was carted to the locker room. Needless to say, O’Connell is done for the day. With just a month of football left, he could be done for the year as well. Desmond Ridder will close out Week 14 under center for the Raiders.
