  • LAC Tackle #75
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    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.
  • CIN Linebacker #55

    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Bengals LB Logan Wilson “had a surgical cleanup on his knee” and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
    Wilson was scratched with a knee injury in last week’s loss to the Steelers and has now been ruled out for the season. The veteran linebacker amassed 100-plus tackles for the fourth straight season, totaling 104 tackles, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and two TFLs. Statistically speaking, 2024 was a down year for Wilson, but his 72.3 defensive grade, per PFF, was the second-highest grade of his career.
  • SEA Punter #4
    Seahawks punter Michael Dickson (back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    Dickson was listed as limited on Wednesday’s practice report due to back spasms. Seahawks kicker Jason Myers took a few punts in practice and looks to double as the punter should Dickson miss Week 14. The Australian has been the Seahawks’ punter since entering the league in 2018 and is averaging 48.7 yards per punt this season after averaging a career-high 50.0 yards per punt last season. Dickson still has a few days to practice and get healthy to punt against the Cardinals.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #15
    Rams WR Demarcus Robinson (hand) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    Robinson is dealing with a hand injury he suffered in the Rams’ Week 13 win over the Saints. He finished the game with a pair of catches, including a 46-yard score. Head coach Sean McVay said Robinson is expected to be available for Week 14. He starts out the week limited, but is on track to play and will be a boom-or-bust play against the Bills.
  • JAX Quarterback #16
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is expected to undergo season-ending surgery.
    Rapoport adds, “Lawrence will make a full recovery for 2025.” Though he was placed on injured reserve after suffering a devastating concussion in Week 13, the extended absence allows him to get a headstart on surgery in his non-throwing shoulder. Lawrence had topped 4,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons heading into 2024. One year away from the end of his rookie deal, the Jags pulled the trigger early and gave him a five-year, $275 million contract extension in the offseason, anticipating Lawrence to finally take the next step in his fourth season. Instead, the Jags got more of the same with a mixed bag of heroic throws and back-breaking mistakes. He struck up a connection with first-round rookie Brian Thomas Jr., hitting him on several long throws while posting some of the best efficiency metrics in the league on deep attempts. On the other hand, Lawrence couldn’t get much to work when looking at anyone else. He only managed 11 touchdowns to seven interceptions in 10 games, two of which he left early. Jacksonville will presumably fire Doug Pederson after the season, adding another excuse to the list of reasons Lawrence hasn’t broken out yet. If the Jaguars hire a rising offensive mind, Lawrence will have a shot at beating the “mid” allegations in 2025.
  • HOU Linebacker #0
    Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair’s three-game suspension was upheld by appeals officer Ramon Foster.
    Al-Shaair was suspended for three games after delivering a significant blow to Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence’s head as Lawrence slid. His hit led to a brawl during the Texans and Jaguars’ Week 13 matchup and Al-Shaair was subsequently ejected. Lawrence is expected to miss the season with the concussion he suffered on the hit and due to surgery on a shoulder injury he sustained prior to returning for Week 13. Ramon Foster was appointed to oversee Al-Shaair’s appeal of his suspension; Foster upheld the three-game absence. The Texans defense will suffer from missing Al-Shaair, who has seven tackles for loss and two sacks as a starting linebacker and captain. He is eligible to return Week 17 against the Ravens.
  • DET Running Back #26
    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said “it doesn’t matter” when asked if he was concerned over RB Jahmyr Gibbs’ social media post that showed team plays.
    Gibbs’ post was a Snapchat video that showed a whiteboard of some of the Lions’ code words for plays. Campbell said, “if we’re gonna lose because of code words, then we’re not good enough anyway.” Both Campbell and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson showed little concern over the team code words being on display and seemed to have handled the matter with Gibbs internally. Nothing they said indicates Gibbs will be in the doghouse. He can be fired up as a fantasy RB1 for Thursday against the Packers.
    Packers-Lions feels like Rd. 3 will be inevitable
    Mike Florio and Chris Simms dive into the NFC North showdown between the Packers and Lions on TNF in Week 14 and spell out why regardless of this outcome, it feels like we’ll see more of the rivalry this season.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Kenneth Walker III (ankle/calf) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    Both injuries are new issues for Walker, which could explain his inefficient play in Week 13. While his limited participation early in the week is promising, this is a situation to monitor closely, particularly the calf component. Backup RB Zach Charbonnet (elbow) practiced in full on Wednesday.
  • SEA Wide Receiver #14
    DK Metcalf (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    The shoulder issue kept Metcalf sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday before he practiced in full on Friday last week. His early-week participation today suggests he suffered no setbacks in-game. Metcalf did briefly exit Week 13 due to an apparent nerve-related issue in his knee, that impacted his foot, but the team did not list his knee nor his foot on today’s report so we can consider it a thing of the past for now.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
    McConkey continues to play through injuries this season and his early-week practice participation suggests the trend will continue in Week 14. The stud rookie should push for double-digit targets in a likely pass-heavy game against the Chiefs this week.
  • MIN Tight End #84
    Vikings TE Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle) is practicing in full for Week 14 against the Falcons.
    Oliver missed a pair of games with the ankle issue and had the wrist injury added to his report more recently. A full practice puts him on track to return in Week 14. With T.J. Hockenson over a month removed from his 2024 debut, Oliver’s return shouldn’t affect his target volume.
