Lawrence suffered a dislocated elbow in the Giants’ Week 13 loss to the Cowboys. While that’s not always a season-ending injury, Lawrence’s injury comes with just five weeks left in what is a lost season for the Giants. One of the few bright spots on the Giants’ roster, Lawrence has totaled 44 tackles, nine sacks, and eight TFLs this season. It’s unlikely we see him play another down for the Giants in 2024.

Dortch ran just eight pass routes on the day. He hasn’t had more than one catch in a game since mid-October after ceding WR2 duties to Michael Wilson early in the season.

It’s a weak statline that would have looked a lot better with improved quarterback play. Aaron Rodgers under-threw a potential 84-yard Wilson touchdown on the Jets’ second play from scrimmage before missing him for a wide-open score in the second quarter. Rodgers then threw a 92-yard pick-six the following play. Grim. Battling Davante Adams for Rodgers’ misfires, Wilson has settled in as a boom/bust WR3. Week 14 variables are six teams on bye and the Jets’ increasingly wobbly commitment to a “franchise quarterback” who won’t be back in 2025.

Mayfield was sacked on consecutive plays and was brutally twisted up and taken down on the second one. After the second sack, Mayfield’s right ankle was accidentally stepped on by Jadeveon Clowney, slamming the outer side of Mayfield’s right ankle down to the ground, pinned underneath Clowney’s body weight. The broadcast quickly commented on Mayfield grabbing at his ankle. Mayfield also briefly grabbed at his left knee after the play though. Mayfield’s cleat was firmly planted in the turf and his upper body was bent sideways, which could have resulted in an MCL injury. Update: Mayfield returned to play but immediately threw an interception.

Adams’ first quarter score was only his second as a Jet. It was some old fashioned end zone pitch-and-catch with Aaron Rodgers, though it was ultimately meaningless as Gang Green fell to 1-5 since acquiring the superstar wideout. Adams did out-gain Garrett Wilson, but only because Rodgers kept missing Wilson for big plays. In a situation that’s getting increasingly dark, Adams is a low-upside WR2, one who would fall to the WR3 ranks were the now-tanking Jets to bench Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor. Miami awaits for Week 14.

It was one of the highest yardage totals for Wilson in 2024, and only the fourth time he’s had more than four receptions in a game this season. Wilson’s Week 13 highlight came on a tipped ball that landed right in his arms in the middle of the field, just before he nabbed a 22-yarder from Kyler Murray. Wilson, as usual, ran a full complement of routes as a regular in two receiver sets. Wilson is only a fantasy option in deeper formats going forward.

Henry took a helmet-to-helmet shot early in this game and appeared to be at risk of at least heading to the locker room after staying down in pain for a while. He eventually got up under his own power and seemed to signal that it was his abdomen that hurt and not his head. Like a true veteran, Henry avoided the concussion check and didn’t miss more than a few snaps. He went on to lead the team in all receiving categories, though he did juice the numbers with two catches for 20 yards on three targets against a prevent coverage on the Pats’ final drive. Henry will remain an unexciting TE1 versus the Cardinals after New England’s Week 14 bye.

The fifth-round rookie came into this afternoon with only five touches all season, but he scored his first career touchdown on a first quarter shovel pass. The increased involvement came as Breece Hall played through a knee injury. Intriguing or infuriating depending on your perspective. With the 3-9 Jets firmly in evaluation mode, Davis will probably keep popping up for touches, just not enough to matter in fantasy.

Edwards was been ruled out for the remainder of the game. It is a brutal development for the Buccaneers, who are currently without starting S Jordan Whitehead and DB Tykee Smith.

Hooper has quietly emerged as a weekly pass-catching threat for the Patriots. The team’s lack of a production rotation at wide receiver has forced them to lean on a second tight end more than most offenses. Hooper has returned the favor with four catches in four straight games and touchdowns in back-to-back contests. Hooper will remain in the TE2 mix versus the Cardinals following New England’s Week 14 bye.

Irving suffered the injury returning a kick with five seconds left in the first half. Irving grabbed at the left side of his hip after being tackled. He reportedly “expects to return and push through in the second half,” per beat reporter Greg Auman. Irving indeed returned to play.
