Corral continues to struggle to stick on rosters, although his signing by the Vikings late in camp was enough to suggest he wouldn’t be long for the roster. In addition to Corral, the Vikings also waived RB DeWayne McBride, TE Sammis Reyes, RB Mo Ibrahim, CB Jaylin Williams, TE Neal Johnson, WR Justin Hall, LB Owen Porter, OL Chuck Filiaga, OL Doug Nester, OL Matt Cindric, OL Spencer Rolland, and DL Tyler Manoa.

That didn’t take long. Reynolds was released by the Broncos on Tuesday. The field-stretching wide receiver helps replace Gabe Davis (meniscus), who is out for the year. Reynolds is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant with Mac Jones under center, now that Trevor Lawrence (shoulder/concussion) is on injured reserve though.

It’s likely a maintenance day for the veteran tight end. With Taysom Hill done for the year, Johnson will be tasked with a larger role going forward. He saw seven targets on Sunday and that could be close to the weekly norm for him with the Saints absurdly thin at receiver and tight end. Johnson is creeping up the TE2 ranks for his Week 14 matchup with the Giants.

Miller was designated to return from injured reserve this week. He was seemingly put on injured reserve by head coach Dennis Allen out of spite. Allen was later fired and interim head coach Darren Rizzi made it clear earlier this week that Miller was not in the dog house for him. If activated, Miller could eat into Alvin Kamara’s gargantuan workload as the Saints look to evaluate the second-year back while also reducing the veteran’s touch total. Miller is worth a stash in deep leagues.

Mostert got banged up with the hip issue in Week 11 but hasn’t missed any time because of it. The veteran back saw seven touches in Week 13, his highest total since Week 9, but only turned that into 34 yards. He is a touchdown-or-bust RB5 for his upcoming date with the Jets.

Mattison’s practice status gives us little to go on. He was limited through Week 13 before the team ultimately rendered him inactive. He is not usable in fantasy regardless but he could negatively impact RB Sincere McCormick’s Week 14-viability. Zamir White (quadricep) also remained sidelined.

This is standard procedure for Hill, who suffered the wrist injury in the offseason and had it flare up on him a few weeks ago. Hill will continue to play through the issue barring a setback with offseason surgery all but guaranteed. Hill rebounded from a quiet Week 12 with six grabs for 83 yards and a touchdown last week, keeping him in the WR2 ranks for his upcoming matchup with the Jets.

This was expected. Irving injured his hip on a meaningless kick return with five seconds left in the first half last week but he returned to play for the second half, totaling a career-high 25 carries in the process. Fantasy managers should expect to have him out there for Week 14, though this is a situation to monitor. Sean Tucker can be added where available.

Skoronski never left Sunday’s game with the foot issue, giving Titans some home that he’s being held out of Wednesday’s practice as a precaution. Logan Bruss will likely take his spot in the lineup if Skoronski can’t suit up this week.

It’s likely a maintenance situation for the veteran wideout. Boyd caught six passes for 55 yards two weeks ago but saw his numbers decline last week with three grabs for 37 yards. He is running plenty of routes for the Titans but doesn’t see the ball enough to enter the fantasy mix this week, even with six teams on bye.

The two injuries likely occurred on the same play. Mayfield was spun to the ground during a tackle, with his foot briefly planted in the process. The force likely stressed the inside of his knee. After hitting the ground, Panthers DE Jadeveon Clowney accidentally stepped on Mayfield’s lower leg, likely impacting the Achilles. Mayfield’s early-week participation bodes positively for his Week 14 availability though he is clearly banged up.
