Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. It looks like he made the knee injury worse playing through it last week. We'll see if Hall misses time beyond Week 14 for a Jets team that's just playing out the string on the season. Hall's absence this weekend leaves the backfield to rookies Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. Allen is a good bet to lead in carries, but this Jets coaching staff seems to like what Davis has given them lately. He could be more involved than expected.
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. It looks like he had a setback on Thursday and then didn’t practice on Friday. Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore will continue to operate as Carolina’s clear top three WRs on Sunday. The Eagles rank first in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.
Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. He put in a full practice on Friday, though, and HC Dave Canales said afterward that Sanders is expected to play. But the rookie figures to share work with TE Tommy Tremble against Philadelphia’s seventh-ranked TE defense. Sanders isn’t a recommended Week 14 fantasy play.
Giants HC Brian Daboll said Friday that WR Malik Nabers is dealing with a new hip injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. He was listed on the injury report with a groin, which had us assuming that it was the same issue that he's been dealing with since college. Nabers had an MRI on the hip, according to Daboll, and won't practice on Friday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Saints is seemingly in legitimate question. We'll keep you updated on Nabers' status.
Packers WR Jayden Reed failed to catch his only target in Thursday’s loss at Detroit. He ranked third among Packers WRs in routes run. Green Bay set a season-low in offensive plays (45), while Jordan Love attempted only 20 passes. The low pass volume was nothing new, as Love has been held under 30 pass attempts in four straight. Reed also hasn’t topped 30 yards since Week 9. He’ll be tough to trust for a Week 15 matchup at Seattle.
The Bengals expect to miss LB Logan Wilson for the rest of the regular season after he had a "surgical cleanup" on his injured knee Thursday, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The injury dates back to before Cincinnati's Week 12 bye, first showing up on the Week 11 injury report.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs racked up three TDs in Thursday’s loss to Detroit. He nearly added a receiving score, but the play was wiped off the board by a penalty.
Lions WR Tim Patrick saw a season-high 18% target share in Thursday’s win over Green Bay. That turned into a surprising 6-43-2 line, with both of his TDs coming in goal line situations. The veteran even out-targeted Amon-Ra St. Brown by one. Now, Thursday turned up Patrick’s first TDs of the season. But it’s clear he’s ticketed for a larger role with Kalif Raymond (foot) set to miss at least a couple more weeks. Week 15 turns up a tough matchup vs. Buffalo, followed by another formidable secondary in Chicago. Patrick remains a shaky deep-league bet.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Bengals. Ferguson has averaged 7.4 targets across his seven full games this season and is a viable low-end TE1 play in Week 14 fantasy lineups.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday. HC Mike McCarthy said before the workout that Lamb's shoulder is still bothering him. He has an extra day to get ready for the Monday nighter vs. the Bengals. We'll see if Lamb gets on the field tomorrow.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle, calf) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a limited practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if Walker had a setback yesterday or was just getting some rest today. We'll see what we learn from Friday's injury report. Zach Charbonnet would take over as Seattle's lead back vs. the Cardinals if Walker misses Sunday's game.
After being limited on Wednesday, Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday. He was on last week's injury report with a shoulder before playing his usual role in the win over the Jets, so we're expecting Metcalf to be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. But we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin) was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday. This is presumably the same groin issue that popped up in Week 12 and that Nabers said he's been dealing with his college. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Saints, but we'll see how Nabers is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. He wasn't on the injury report on Wednesday. Meyers missed two games with an ankle injury earlier this season, although it's unclear if this is related. We'll see if Meyers gets back on the practice field tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers.
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (hip, back) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He played through these injuries last week but isn't guaranteed to play vs. Las Vegas on Sunday. Irving's absence would leave Tampa's backfield to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. We'll update Irving's status again by Friday afternoon.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring, calf) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. We don't have any additional info on these injuries, but Evans' status for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders is seemingly up in the air. We'll see if he practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. That's a downgrade from last week, when Hall was limited on Thursday. He's not a lock to play vs. the Dolphins this weekend. Hall's absence would leave Braelon Allen as the Jets' likely lead back, with Isaiah Davis as the No. 2. Check back tomorrow for another update on Hall.
Steelers WR Calvin Austin (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's on track to be cleared to play vs. the Browns this weekend. Austin has scored in two straight and three of his last five. But he's averaged just 3.4 targets and 2.2 catches across those five games. He'd be a flier in Week 14 fantasy lineups.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's now a long shot to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Michael Woods finished third among Cleveland WRs in routes last week, catching three of five targets for 43 yards. He'd be a desperation Week 14 fantasy play. Tillman's absence leaves extra targets for Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore, and David Njoku.
The Seahawks have activated Edge Uchenna Nwosu from IR. He missed the past seven games with a thigh injury. That happened in the first game after he returned from a season-opening knee injury. He's expected to play this Sunday against the Cardinals, according to the team website.
