Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard carried 23 times in Sunday’s blowout loss to New Orleans. Carolina ran 79 plays, which helped Hubbard generate such a hefty workload. Once again, he played well ahead of Miles Sanders, who mixed in with 10 carries. A still-poor Carolina offense limited Hubbard to 3.8 YPC and stopped a 2-game scoring streak. Volume will keep him in the RB2/FLEX mix for the final few weeks.
Rams WR Tutu Atwell left Sunday's game vs. the Ravens to be checked for a concussion. We haven't seen it confirmed that Atwell is in the protocol, but he likely is after not returning to the game. Atwell's absence helped lead to a whopping 10 targets for WR Demarcus Robinson. He caught three for 46 yards and a score. With a Week 15 matchup vs. the Commanders on tap, Robinson could be in play as a deep-league fantasy play if Atwell is out.
Vikings WR Justin Jefferson suffered a chest injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He took a shot over the middle of the field and landed hard directly on his back. Jefferson is officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.
Update: Jefferson has been ruled out. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Texans QB C.J. Stroud was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets. His head slammed to the ground, so he'll at least be checked for a concussion. Stay tuned for an update.
Update: Stroud is being checked for a concussion and is officially questionable to return. He won't return to this 27-6 game, but if he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll be unlikely to play next week.
Ravens S Kyle Hamilton left Sunday's game against the Rams in the first half with a knee injury and did not return. We'll see about his status heading into a Week 15 trip to Jacksonville.
Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Hamilton will have an MRI Monday.
Seahawks LB Jordyn Brooks (ankle) is active for today's game against the 49ers. He carries some risk after managing just one limited practice this week. But Brooks is available for IDP lineups if you planned to use him.
Bengals QB Jake Browning went to the locker room with an apparent thumb injury. He was hurt on a scamble in the fourth quarter. For now, A.J. McCarron has taken over as Cincy's QB1.
Update: Browning reportedly dealt with muscle cramps. He returned to the game in the 4th quarter.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (wrist) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. We’ll see exactly how big a role he plays in his first action since Week 7. Knox averaged 4.0 targets per game over the first seven weeks of the season to TE Dalton Kincaid’s 4.5. We’re expecting that gap to be wider in Week 14 and beyond.
Broncos RB Samaje Perine (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He didn’t practice on Friday but is evidently heathy enough to suit up today. Perine will likely continue to handle obvious passing downs for Denver but isn’t a viable fantasy play.
Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby (knee) is active for today's game against the Vikings, as expected. Crosby played through a doubtful designation last week and has said he's feeling better this week. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. Jordan Mason will serve as the No. 2 RB, but RB Christian McCaffrey will dominate work – at least as long as this game is still in the balance.
Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (oblique) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) are active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. Both put in full practices on Friday, so we’re expecting them to be somewhat close to 100%. Walker figures to resume his role as lead back, but his projection takes a hit with QB Drew lock under center.
Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) won't play vs. the 49ers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Smith suffered what ESPN's Adam Schefter termed a two-week groin injury in Thursday's practice. We'll see if Smith can make it back for next Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. QB Drew Lock starts today for the first time since 2021. He's a significant downgrade from Smith for Seattle's pass catchers.
Update: Smith is officially INACTIVE.
Texans WR Nico Collins injured his calf in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and is questionable to return. Houston, of course, lost WR Tank Dell for the season last week. They're now down to WRs Noah Brown, Robert Woods, John Metchie, and Xavier Hutchinson.
Update: Collins has been ruled out.
The Cowboys have added Edge Micah Parsons to the injury report. He's questionable with an illness for tonight's game against the Eagles. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Parsons is still expected to play. So he should probably remain in most IDP lineups that have him set to start. We'll check his status ahead of the game, though.
The forecast for today's Rams-Ravens game calls for a 97% chance of rain with winds of 10-15 mph and gusts up to 30. Expect lots of running from both offenses in this one. The over/under has dropped from 45.0 to 42.0 -- although the Ravens are still implied for a solid 24.75 points. See the updated projections for this game.
The forecast for today's Texans-Jets game calls for a near 100% chance of rain. Winds will be at 10-15 mph with potential gusts of 30+. Tough conditions for the passing and kicking games. This over/under has dropped from 38.5 to 33.0. The Texans are implied for only 18.0 points. Check out the updated projections for this game.
Tams edge players Byron Young (knee) and Michael Hoecht (knee) are active for today's game against the Ravens. Both guys turned up questionable but are available as low-level IDP options if you were hoping to use them.
Browns WR Amari Cooper (concussion, ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He should be ready to play his usual role. Cooper notably out-targeted WR Elijah Moore five to one before exiting last week’s game with a concussion.
Jets RB Breece Hall (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, adding some risk to his fantasy profile. But we haven’t heard anything about the ankle limiting Hall’s playing time or volume today.
