  • 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.
  • 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.
  • CAR Cornerback #8
    Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (groin) left Carolina’s Week 14 game against the Eagles and is questionable to return.
    He came up hurt after tackling DeVonta Smith inside the 10 and immediately wheeled into the locker room. It has the look of an injury that could keep him out for multiple weeks or possibly send him to season-ending IR. Dane Jackson replaced Horn.
  • LAR Cornerback #25
    Rams declared QB Stetson Bennett, CB Emmanuel Forbes, RB Cody Schrader, OLB Brennan Jackson, OL Dylan McMahon, and OL Warren McClendon Jr. inactive for Week 14 against the Bills.
    No surprises here and nobody who will move the needle much for fantasy managers this weekend.
  • BUF Wide Receiver #0
    Bills declared Keon Coleman (wrist) inactive for Week 14 against the Rams.
    Coleman was able to get three limited practices this week, but the team clearly felt that he needed one more to heal before getting him back on the field. With Amari Cooper healthy again, the Bills will rely heavily on him and Kahlil Shakir with Mack Hollins mixed in as well. The other inactive for Buffalo are TE Dalton Kincaid, TE Quintin Morris, DT Jordan Phillips, OL Will Clapp, LB Edufuan Ulofoshio, and CB Kaiir Elam.
  • SF Defensive End #97
    49ers declared Nick Bosa (oblique/hip) inactive for Week 14 against the Bears.
    Bosa is unable to play this week sidelined by a nagging hip injury and oblique strains on both sides of his body. The 49ers also declared QB Josh Dobbs (3rd QB), LT Trent Williams, LG Aaron Banks, LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, CB Rock Ya-Sin and RB Israel Abanikanda inactive. Playing without Williams and Banks makes Brock Purdy’s blindside an ideal leverage point for the Bears’ defense.
  • BUF Tight End #86
    Bills declared Dalton Kincaid (knee) inactive for Week 15 against the Rams.
    Kincaid got in three limited practices this week, but he was always a longshot to play, especially with the Bills’ elevating Tucker Davidson from the practice squad. Kincaid figures to return to take on the Lions in Week 15 which gives Dawson Knox one more week as a touchdown-dependent option for fantasy leagues.
  • CHI Running Back #23
    Bears declared Roschon Johnson (concussion) inactive for Week 14 against the 49ers.
    Passing-game specialist Travis Homer will replace Johnson though Swift should mix into the passing game occasionally. Homer likely poses little threat to Swift when the Bears enter the red and green zones. Both Swift and Moore were limited by quad injuries this week but their soft tissue issues evidently responded well to Wednesday and Thursday rest days. Swift is an RB2 while Moore mirrors him as a WR2. Both players possess volume-based top-12 upside. The Bears also declared S Elijah Hicks, OL Ryan Bates, OT Larry Borom, DE Dominique Robinson, WR Tyler Scott and DB Ameer Speed inactive.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Seahawks declared RB Ken Walker, CB Tre Brown, S AJ Finley, OLB Trevis Gipson, LB Patrick O’Connell, WR Cody White, and P Ty Zentner inactive for Week 14 against the Cardinals.
    Battling an ankle and calf issue, Walker will miss at least one game, though he could return for Week 15 against Green bay. Zach Charbonnet will take over as the team’s lead back and could see 20-plus touches, including valuable goal line work. he should be considered a top-15 fantasy option against a middling Arizona run defense.
