The Texans on Wednesday designated EDGE Jonathan Greenard (calf) to return from IR. It was his 1st practice since he suffered a calf tear nearly 2 months ago. HC Lovie Smith said he didn't know how soon Greenard would be ready for game action but told the team website, "We'll find a way to get him into the mix once he's ready to go." We wouldn't be surprised to see a limited role initially for Greenard. He's worth keeping an eye on for deeper IDP formats but doesn't pop as a "must" add on waiver wires.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero confirms that Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, calf) is expected to play vs. the Rams tonight. He was limited in practice this week and is listed as questionable. Jacobs, of course, has been playing through this calf issue the past 2 weeks -- and racked up 453 total yards and 3 TDs. He's a must-start tonight.
The Raiders have ruled LB Jason Brown out for Thursday night's game against Rams with a hand injury. That leaves Denzel Perryman as the only Vegas LB we can trust in IDP lineups.
Ravens LB Patrick Queen said Wednesday that he's "pretty sure" he'll play Sunday against the Steelers, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. Queen left last Sunday's win over the Broncos with a thigh injury. He put in a limited practice Wednesday. We'll see about his status the rest of the week.
Chargers WR Mike Williams (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday -- his first since re-injuring that ankle in Week 11. We'll see if Williams is able to make it back for Sunday night's game vs. the Dolphins.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (fibula) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He returned to last week's game after hurting his leg but was noticeably hobbled. We'll see what he does in practice the next 2 days, ahead of Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's fully expected to start Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers, but we'll continue to monitor his status over the next few days.
Bucs TE Cameron Brate (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He should be back for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers, which would knock TE Cade Otton out of fantasy consideration.
Seahawks TE Will Dissly missed Wednesday's practice with a calf issue. Dissly isn't much of a fantasy option, but his absence vs. the Panthers this weekend would be a boost for TE Noah Fant.
Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. RB Travis Homer (knee) was limited. So Homer is out to the early lead in the race to be Seattle's Week 14 lead back. He's worth adding in most fantasy leagues while we continue to monitor this backfield over the next few days. The Seahawks also have RB Tony Jones on the active roster and RBs Wayne Gallman and Darwin Thompson on the practice squad
Panthers RB D'Onta Foreman said Wednesday that he's 95% sure he'll play vs. the Seahawks this weekend. Foreman didn't practice on Wednesday, coming off the bye week. We'll see what he's able to do on Thursday.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he can make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos, but there's no way Toney could be trusted in Week 14 fantasy lineups.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He returned last week but ran a route on just 41% of pass plays. Jeudy should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs but will need to put in at least 1 full practice to be a comfortable fantasy play.
Broncos K Brandon McManus (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he's able to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend, but we'd look elsewhere for your Week 14 fantasy kicker.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. This injury is to the opposite ankle that he hurt earlier this season. Tannehill was able to play through the issue last week and should be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars.
Titans TE Treylon Burks (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's not a good bet to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but we'll continue to track his progress.
Steelers RB Najee Harris (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this issue last week, so we're expecting him to be out there for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. But we'll keep an eye on Harris' status over the next few days.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, as expected. He's slated to miss 1-3 weeks with his PCL sprain. QB Tyler Huntley will start this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. We'll see if Jackson can make it back for Week 15.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was off the injury report last week for the first time since the opener -- and then went out and had his busiest and most productive game since Week 1. We'll see how the rest of the week goes for Swift. We're fully expecting him to play vs. the Vikings on Sunday, but he'll be a riskier fantasy play if he doesn't get in at least 1 full practice.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. He's been sidelined since injuring his calf in practice last Thursday. Fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on Cooks to play vs. the Cowboys this weekend.
