  • LAC Tackle #75

    Although GM Buddy Nix believes the Bills can win with Chris Hairston at left tackle, he would like to pick up two more players at the position this offseason.
    “People say Fitz gets the ball out quick, but we run our offense with a lot of empty sets, with five blockers and if they bring six he better get it out,” explained Nix. “In this offense he has to get it out quick.” Nix concedes that Hairston isn’t the “prettiest athlete,” suggesting more of a stopgap than a long-term solution.
  • PHI Tight End #88

    Dallas Goedert (knee) remained sidelined for Thursday’s practice.
  • LV Wide Receiver #16
    Jakobi Meyers (ankle, DNP) was added to Thursday’s injury report.
    A Thursday DNP is never a great sign, so we’ll see where things go for Meyers from here. The veteran receiver is coming off a six-catch, 97-yard performance in last week’s loss to the Chiefs and has gone for 16-218-0 on 25 targets over the last two weeks. With so many teams on bye, Meyers’ value becomes a little more amplified for fantasy managers hoping to make their way into the postseason. If Meyers is unable to go, we could be looking at a big week for Brock Bowers and an increased role for Tre Tucker.
  • LV Running Back #3
    Zamir White (quad) did not practice Thursday.
    Even if he does return, there’s little guarantee that White would have a meaningful role at this point in the season. He wasn’t seeing much work before his injury, and with Sincere McCormick now in the mix, White’s workload will likely be reduced even further if he were active. He’s completely off the fantasy radar at this time.
  • LV Running Back #22
    Alexander Mattison (ankle) was limited in Thursday’s practice.
    Mattison has been limited in both practices to start the week. He followed a similar regiment last week but was ultimately ruled out for Week 13 despite being limited in every practice. The Raiders are expected to lean more heavily on Sincere McCormick in the coming days, making Mattison nearly impossible to trust for Week 14 against the Buccaneers even if he is active.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #1
    Ja’Marr Chase (ankle) was limited in Thursday’s practice.
    Chase hasn’t spent much time on the injury report this season, but we’ll assume this is a mild issue for the time being. The Bengals’ WR1 has caught 79 passes for 1,142 yards and 13 touchdowns this season and is well on his way to the best season of his career and a big pay day next offseason. We’ll assume Chase will be good to go for Week 14 against the Cowboys barring any surprise developments.
  • FA Head Coach
    247Sports’ Grant Hughes reports Bill Belichick interviewed with the North Carolina Tar Heels for their head coaching vacancy.
    Not many people had Belichick going back to school on their 2024 Coaching Carousel Bingo card, but the 72-year-old future Hall of Famer is at least keeping his options open. Belichick has never run a college program, so it’s hard to imagine the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach wanting to get in the game now, but anything is possible. While possible, it doesn’t seem probable. Wherever Belichick coaches next will likely be his last destination, and the long-time coach is still chasing Don Shula for the NFL’s all-time wins record, which sits at 328. Belichick would likely need three more seasons in the league if he hopes to set the all-time wins record, and making the jump to college only delays. Belichick is expected to meet with several NFL teams when the coaching cycle kicks off in just a few months. Even if he does make the jump to college, we wouldn’t expect him to do so until he’s exhausted all of his options in the pros.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #83
    Tyler Boyd (foot) did not practice on Thursday.
    The foot injury is a new one for Boyd, who popped up on Wednesday’s injury report as limited with the issue. His being downgraded to a DNP on Thursday isn’t great for his Week 14 availability, so we’ll see where things stand on Friday when the Titans release their final injury report. Even if he’s active, Boyd hasn’t been the viable PPR scammer we’ve seen in years past. He’ll be well off the fantasy radar for next week even if active.
  • TB Wide Receiver #10
    Trey Palmer (hip) was limited in Thursday’s practice.
    Palmer likely suffered the injury in Thursday’s practice so he should be considered highly questionable to suit up for Week 14 against the Raiders. Palmer is not a fantasy-relevant player but his potential absence would free up a few targets for active players.
  • TB Quarterback #6
    Baker Mayfield (knee/Achilles) practiced in full on Thursday.
    Fantasy managers should fully expect to have Mayfield available against the lowly Raiders in Week 14, though his pass-catching corps may be short-staffed. Mike Evans (hamstring/calf) and Bucky Irving (hip/back) have missed Week 14’s first two practices.
    Declining workload hurts Hubbard, White in Week 14
    Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher and Lawrence Jackson Jr. explain why they're out on Chuba Hubbard and Rachaad White in Week 14, citing workload changes as a major reasons for fading both running backs.
  • LV Quarterback #12
    Aidan O’Connell (illness) did not practice Thursday.
    O’Connell’s absence on Thursday sent shockwaves through NFL newsrooms as reporters waited with bated breath for news on why the Raiders’ QB1 was unavailable. Fortunately, any amount of concern was quickly laid to rest when it was revealed O’Connell was dealing with an illness. For now, we’ll assume this is something minor that he’ll move past in short order, meaning he should be good to go for Week 14’s game against the Buccaneers.
