Jahmyr Gibbs • RB • Lions

Jahmyr Gibbs Could See Largest Workload of the Season in Week 14

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been special so far this season, recording 1,416 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 226 touches across 12 games. Since Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties in Week 10, Gibbs is averaging 21 touches per game. With star Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) officially questionable to play in Week 14 due to an ankle injury, Gibbs could be in for a heavy workload as both a rusher and receiver against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. For the season, the Dallas defense ranks 27th in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (4.7). However, the Cowboys have been better of late, allowing opponents to an average of 69 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. Still, the Lions appear likely to force-feed Gibbs touches against Dallas. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 14.

Dylan Sampson Unable to Practice on Wednesday

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson (calf) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Sampson is currently considered day-to-day after suffering a calf injury during Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie back has rushed for 46 yards on 11 carries over his last two games. He did haul in a touchdown as a receiver over that span, but Sampson has mainly been a non-factor in fantasy football, with fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins seeing most of the backfield work. His absence in Week 14 would mean increased playing time for Jerome Ford and possibly Raheim Sanders. Judkins is the only fantasy-relevant back in Cleveland at the moment.

Jared Goff Could Be Working with Depleted Supporting Cast in Week 14

Across 12 games this season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 69.8% of his pass attempts for 3,025 yards, 25 touchdowns, and five interceptions. However, his supporting cast in Detroit is as depleted as it's been all season heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions will be without tight ends Brock Wright (neck) and Sam LaPorta (back), as well as wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle). Most importantly, star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) did not practice all week and is questionable to play against Dallas due to the low ankle sprain he suffered in Week 13. On paper, the Cowboys look like a favorable matchup for Goff. Through 13 weeks, Dallas has allowed the most passing yards (3,234) and touchdowns (28) of any NFL team. The Cowboys have been better in the second half of the season, but they still allowed four touchdown passes in Week 13 to the Kansas City Chiefs. While his outlook would obviously be improved if St. Brown is active, Goff profiles as a solid fantasy QB1 in Week 14.

Greg Dortch • WR • Cardinals

Greg Dortch Misses Wednesday's Practice With Chest Injury

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (chest) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Dortch joined fellow wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) on the injury report to begin Week 14. The 27-year-old gave fantasy managers a dud last week after two straight strong performances when Harrison was sidelined following an appendectomy. Dortch hauled in 12 receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns while Harrison missed two games due to injury. Last week, Dortch was held to two receptions for 14 yards with Harrison back on the field. If Dortch and Harrison are unable to play in Week 14, Xavier Weaver figures to see increased playing time. The second-year wideout has been a non-factor in fantasy leagues to this point. If both Dortch and Harrison are out, Michael Wilson will likely handle as many targets as he can.

Kyren Williams • RB • Rams

Kyren Williams Expected to Play in Week 14

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of their divisional clash against the Arizona Cardinals. Despite being limited on Wednesday, head coach Sean McVay expects Williams to be ready to play in Week 14. The Rams have featured a committee much more in 2025 than in previous years, and Williams' workload has been limited. The fourth-year running back has eclipsed 15 carries in just one of his last nine games, and second-year back Blake Corum has been efficient this season. Williams faces a Cardinals run defense that has struggled in recent weeks and has allowed double-digit fantasy points to every starting running back they've faced this season. If Williams is good to go this week, he is a high-end RB2 in Week 14.

Davante Adams • WR • Rams

Davante Adams Expected to Play Despite Missing Wednesday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday as the Rams prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals. Despite being listed as a non-participant, head coach Sean McVay expects Adams to be fine for Week 14. Adams was listed on the injury report last week with hamstring soreness, but looked just fine in Week 13, hauling in four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers. Adams has been a touchdown machine in his first stint with the Rams, scoring 14 touchdowns in 12 games. Thursday and Friday's practice report will determine whether or not Adams will play in Week 14, but all signs are pointing up for the veteran receiver being able to go this week.

Lamar Jackson • QB • Ravens

Lamar Jackson Limited on Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice as the Ravens prepare for their divisional showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This marks the first time Jackson has participated in a Wednesday practice in quite some time, but it's still displeasing to see the star quarterback's name on the injury report. Jackson suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the season that sidelined him for four weeks, and has been listed for knee and ankle injuries in the past few weeks. Jackson's rushing stats have dipped drastically in 2025, averaging career lows in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns this season. Without his rushing floor, Jackson will continue to be an inconsistent option for fantasy managers. Jackson will likely be upgraded to a full practice either Thursday or Friday and should be ready to play in an important game in Week 14.

Woody Marks • RB • Texans

Texans Say Woody Marks Will be Fine

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (foot) will be fine, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. Marks went out early in the first quarter but returned later in Week 13's win over the Indianapolis Colts and did not participate in Wednesday's practice. However, reassurance from their head coach is a good sign for Marks' availability for Week 14, when the Texans travel to Kansas City. The fourth-round pick has been a nice surprise for fantasy managers this season, totaling 674 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games. It seems like Marks will be able to practice at some point this week and be ready for a showdown against one of the best run defenses in the NFL. Thursday's practice report will be one to watch in determining if Marks will be available this week.

Justin Herbert • QB • Chargers

Justin Herbert Has Plate, Multiple Screws Put in his Left Hand

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (left hand) had a plate and multiple screws put in his hand in surgery. Herbert suffered a broken left hand in Week 13's win over the Las Vegas Raiders and underwent surgery on Monday, and reports say that it was successful. Herbert reiterated on Wednesday that the plan is to play in Week 14 when the Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles. The star quarterback has been excellent in 2025, currently averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game, which ranks as the QB8. The Chargers are fighting for a playoff spot and will need to finish strong to fend off the likes of the Chiefs, Bills, and other teams. Fantasy managers should prepare as if Herbert will be able to play in Week 14. UPDATE: Herbert says he's day-to-day, and his status for Monday depends on the swelling in his surgically-repaired left hand.

Hassan Haskins • RB • Chargers

Chargers Open Hassan Haskins' Practice Window

The Los Angeles Chargers have opened the practice window for running back Hassan Haskins (hamstring). Haskins suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 and was placed on the injured reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of four weeks. While the fourth-year back is gearing up for a potential return in Week 14, his role will likely be limited to special teams moving forward. Kimani Vidal has stepped up, and rookie Omarion Hampton is "likely" to play on Monday Night against the Philadelphia Eagles. If Haskins can suit up in Week 14, his role will keep him away from fantasy relevance, and his impact won't affect the values of Hampton and Vidal moving forward.

Broncos QB Says Pat Bryant is an "Every Down Receiver"

After back-to-back productive games, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant is earning praise from his quarterback, Bo Nix. Nix said that Bryant is "an every-down receiver and is getting better and better each week." In the last two games, Bryant has made eight catches on 13 targets for 124 yards, playing a 58% and 70% snap share in those games. The third-round pick from Illinois is becoming a top target for Nix, and he played the second-most snaps of any receiver for the Broncos after their bye week. Bryant and the Broncos face an easy matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While Bryant is not yet a regular starter, with high praise from his quarterback and a growing role, the rookie receiver is a name to watch this week.

Geno Smith • QB • Raiders

Geno Smith Limited With Foot Injury on Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. It's a new injury for Smith and is something that we'll be keeping a close eye on as the team prepares for a Week 14 divisional game on Sunday against the visiting Denver Broncos. The 35-year-old veteran has had a rough first season in Vegas and will be a QB3 in fantasy football if he plays this weekend against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Broncos have the most sacks in the NFL through 13 weeks, and the Raiders' offensive line has not done a good job of protecting Smith at all this year. It's a bad combination, especially if Smith's mobility is limited by his foot. In the loss to Denver on Nov. 6, Smith went 16-for-26 passing for 143 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception.

Aaron Jones Sr. • RB • Vikings

Aaron Jones Sr. Limited in Wednesday's Practice

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Although Jones injured his shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks and never returned, his injury isn't considered serious, and he's day-to-day going into a Week 14 tilt this weekend versus the visiting Washington Commanders. Still, the 31-year-old veteran's status should be closely monitored over the next couple of days, as Jordan Mason could take on a bigger role this weekend against Washington if Jones ends up being limited at all in Sunday's game. The lack of overall efficiency from Minnesota's offense is draining the fantasy value of all of their skill players, including Jones'. The good news is that quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) is on track to return in Week 14. If Jones plays this weekend, he'll be more of an RB3/flex option with a limited ceiling.

J.J. McCarthy Practices in Full, on Track to Return in Week 14

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, putting him on track to return on Sunday against the Washington Commanders in Week 14, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. McCarthy still needs final clearance from an independent neurologist to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol, but he's trending in the right direction after suffering a concussion in Week 12 and missing the Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. In his absence on Sunday, undrafted rookie QB Max Brosmer was a disaster, throwing four interceptions, including an ugly pick-six. The 22-year-old McCarthy has mostly struggled in 2025 after missing his entire rookie season, completing just 54.1% of his passes for 929 yards, six touchdowns, and 10 picks in six starts. If he returns on Sunday, McCarthy will be a volatile low-end QB2 option in superflex formats.

Aaron Rodgers • QB • Steelers

Aaron Rodgers Doesn't Practice on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Rodgers, who is playing through three fractures in his left (non-throwing) wrist, will probably be limited early in the week for the rest of the season. The 42-year-old future Hall of Famer is expected to be active again this weekend for a crucial divisional contest against the Baltimore Ravens, but he might not do much in practice this week. The good news for Rodgers is that he didn't do any damage to his left wrist by playing in the Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and he appears to be in better shape going into Week 14 despite being battered and bloodied last Sunday. Rodgers hasn't thrown for over 200 yards in a game since Nov. 2 and has limited weapons in the passing game outside of receiver DK Metcalf. He will be a low-upside fantasy QB on the QB2/3 borderline versus Baltimore.

Chris Godwin Jr. • WR • Buccaneers

Chris Godwin Jr. Listed as Limited on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. (leg) remains on the team's injury report and was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Godwin may stay on the injury report the rest of the year for maintenance purposes as he comes back from a fractured fibula that he suffered back in Week 5. The 29-year-old pass-catcher returned in Week 12 and has five catches on nine targets for 87 yards in his two games back. He was on the field more in last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals and had three catches on five targets for a season-high 78 yards. Although Mike Evans' (collarbone) impending return from Injured Reserve will take a little steam out of Godwin's rest-of-season outlook, he should still be a pretty key weapon for quarterback Baker Mayfield in the passing game. Consider him a viable WR3/flex option in fantasy for a Week 14 battle against the division-rival New Orleans Saints.

Baker Mayfield • QB • Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield Still Working Through Shoulder Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) continues to work through a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder and was limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Mayfield injured his shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he played in Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals, going 18-for-28 for 194 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while carrying the ball six times for an additional 27 yards. The 30-year-old is as tough as they come and is fully expected to play again in Week 14 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Mayfield hasn't thrown more than one touchdown in any of his last three games, but he'll be on the low-end QB1 radar this weekend in a rematch against the Saints, potentially with star wideout Mike Evans (collarbone) back in the fold. Mayfield went 15-for-24 for 152 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in a 23-3 win over the Saints back on Oct. 26.

Jalen McMillan • WR • Buccaneers

Jalen McMillan Returns to Limited Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was limited in practice on Wednesday, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. This was McMillan's first practice since suffering a severe neck strain and multiple broken bones in his neck back in the preseason in August. The 23-year-old is trending toward a return this year, but it probably won't be for another couple of weeks. And when McMillan does return, he'll be joining a crowded receiving room in Tampa alongside wideouts Mike Evans (collarbone), Chris Godwin, rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka, and rookie Tez Johnson. It's highly unlikely that McMillan is going to have a big enough role when he returns to put him on the fantasy map in 12-team leagues.

Mike Evans • WR • Buccaneers

Mike Evans Limited in Wednesday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) was listed as limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Evans has made good progress since breaking his collarbone in Week 7, but the Bucs will re-evaluate him later this week before determining if they'll activate him from Injured Reserve so that he can play on Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer should not be floating around on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues, even if Tampa decides to wait another week to activate him. The six-time Pro Bowler will not break a ridiculous streak of 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons due to injuries this year, but he still has the potential to be a difference-maker for fantasy managers in the playoffs. Evans' impending return is more bad news for slumping rookie first-round wideout Emeka Egbuka.

Bucky Irving • RB • Buccaneers

Bucky Irving Still on the Team's Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder) is still on the team's injury report and was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Irving returned in last Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals for the first time since Week 4 due to a dislocated shoulder and a foot sprain. Tampa was expected to ease the 23-year-old RB back in, but he ended up handling a healthy 17 carries for 61 yards (3.6 yards per tote) and two rushing touchdowns on 52% of the offensive snaps. Irving added two catches on two targets for 20 yards. Surprisingly, Sean Tucker played just 15% of the snaps. Irving should be fine to play in Week 14 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints, and he should see an even bigger share of the backfield work. As long as Irving doesn't have a setback with his shoulder, he should be considered an RB1 in fantasy in his second game back.
