Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) is expected to play in the Week 14 game, a source told ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Chargers here. They've been getting by with Kimani Vidal and Jaret Patterson on the ground, but Hampton is an upgrade. The 2025 first-round pick has talent, but he has been injured since Week 5. Now he's back for a Monday night game against an Eagles defense that was gashed on the ground by the Bears in Week 13. That makes Hampton an RB2 option, but know he may be on a snap count in his first game back. |

New York Jets WR Arian Smith is considered 'ready to go' for Week 14's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. Smith had been a healthy scratch for Week 13's contest versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Link to storyThe New York Giants fired assistant defensive line coach Bryan Cox Friday, Dec. 5.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) has not taken any snaps under center during practice this week, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh, who added that he has been participating in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. Harbaugh remains optimistic that Herbert will be able to play in Week 14's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: This team would look a lot different (and clearly not as good) with Trey Lance in place of Herbert. The game is Monday night, and the Eagles can be gashed on the ground. Harbaugh loves to run the ball, and 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton is back this week. That means the Chargers may be planning to run early and often. This gameplan limits the fantasy potential of Herbert, making him more of a QB2 for Fantasy GMs in Week 14. |

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second consecutive day Friday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Jim Harbaugh has maintained steady optimism that Herbert will be ready to go on Monday night. Given the schedule, his uncertainty could put fantasy managers in a bind. Frankly, Herbert's production hasn't been great lately, as he's played through injuries and without his bookend tackles. He makes for a shaky QB2 this week, and you can hopefully find a better option on Sunday. In a deep-league desperation move, Herbert managers could pick up Trey Lance as a last-minute pivot option. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton (ankle) was able to practice in full on Friday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: Hampton will have another chance to log a full practice tomorrow, but all signs point to him making his return after suffering a broken ankle in Week 5. Hampton was on fire before his injury. Since he's been out, though, Kimani Vidal has found a rhythm. Hampton should take over lead duties, but Vidal will likely be more involved than he was earlier in the year. Hampton should be eased into after an extended absence, making him a back-end RB2 if active. |

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: There's no way to sugarcoat it: McCarthy has been bad this year. However, the Commanders are one of the league's worst pass defenses. McCarthy doesn't belong anywhere near a starting lineup this week, but fantasy managers desperate for a quarterback might want to stash him before his schedule opens up down the stretch. |
Green Bay Packers DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle) is being placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
Link to storyMinnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, but is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Jones has played through this injury for a few weeks now and clearly aggravated it last week. With Jones expected to be active this week, he can be relied on as a risky RB2. Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott fall well down the rankings, out of starting consideration in most leagues. |

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs missed one game two weeks ago, but played through his knee injury last Thursday against the Lions. He'll suit up for another divisional matchup against the Bears on Sunday. He's third among running backs to Jonathan Taylor and Jahmyr Gibbs in rushing touchdowns. Start him as an RB1. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (rest) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba's limited practice on Wednesday was simply rest-related. Don't let last week's down game scare you away. Smith-Njigba is still leading all receivers in fantasy points, and he's a plug-and-play elite WR1 this week. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III (glute) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Walker has played through this glute injury for a few weeks now, and there's no expectation that he won't get his normal workload. He's started to pull away with a bit more work over the last couple of weeks, and makes for a decent RB2 in this matchup. |
Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (rest) was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Kupp was added to Friday's injury report as a limited participant. His inclusion was just for rest, and he should be a full go on Sunday. The upside from his younger days appears gone at this point, pushing him out of the top 50 receivers in our weekly rankings. |
