Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall faces the Miami Dolphins in Week 14, and Hall recorded 111 yards from scrimmage during a Week 4 meeting with Miami.
| Footballguys view: Hall has performed consistently as an RB2 for Fantasy GMs out there. In certain matchups, like this one against the Dolphins, Hall can push into RB1 range. Start him as per usual in Week 14. |
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14, and Olave had eight receptions on 12 targets for 63 yards in a Week 8 meeting with Tampa Bay.
| Footballguys view: Tyler Shough is trying to show enough in his rookie season for the Saints to feel good about him at least competing for the starting job in 2026. The best way to produce is to make sure Olave is involved in the passing attack as much as possible. He's got a back injury, and those are tricky to deal with. However, Fantasy GMs can feel comfortable with him as a WR2 option on a weekly basis. |
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Brenton Strange is averaging 5 receptions, 5.75 targets and 61.0 receiving yards over his last four full games this season.
| Footballguys view: Strange has a great connection with Trevor Lawrence, and when healthy he's producing at a high level. In a big game against the Colts on Sunday, Strange is a TE1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown has logged 45 total touches in the two full games he has played with QB Joe Burrow this season.
| Footballguys view: This Bengals offense is humming with Burrow back in action, and Brown is a big part of that. Not only can he contribute as the lead runner, he can also be relied on as a receiver out of the backfield. Against the Bills on Sunday, we like Brown as an RB2/flex option. |

Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins has been targeted at least five times in four straight games, and during that stretch, he is averaging 4.5 catches, 7 targets and 50 receiving yards while scoring twice.
| Footballguys view: The rookie receiver is making plays for the Texans offense. The role is there for him each week as a consistent piece of the passing game. Against the Chiefs on Sunday night, Higgins should be considered a deep flex option for Fantasy GMs. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) said that his shoulder is getting better. '(It is) still one of those things that's going to take time, so hopefully I can put two of those in a row together,' Mayfield said Friday, Dec. 5.
| Footballguys view: The shoulder injury comes down to pain tolerance, and Mayfield is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the league. He's been limited in practice this week, but he's going to play through the injury just like he did last week. The Buccaneers are going to be without Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan, but we still like Mayfield as a low-end QB1 against the Saints in Week 14. |

Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (calf) will not return from the Reserve/Injured list prior to the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. Lloyd had his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week.
| Footballguys view: Only dynasty GMs should be monitoring Lloyd. He's a talented running back, but over his short career nagging injuries have kept him from playing up to his potential. It's looking like Lloyd might be available in Week 16 or Week 17. He's a player who could push Emanuel Wilson for a few snaps behind Josh Jacobs. |
New Orleans Saints practice squad WR Kevin Austin was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Dec. 6, and will be available for the Week 14 game.

Los 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. |
The Indianapolis Colts elevated PK Blake Grupe and LB Chris Wormley from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dec. 6, for Week 14's game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

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 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. |

Updating previous reports, Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is considered week to week because of a stress fracture in his foot that has bothered him for a few weeks, according to multiple sources. It is not believed to be a long-term injury and is expected to improve with rest.

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. |
Justin Herbert player page
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. |
Minnesota 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. |

| 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. |
Cooper Kupp player page
Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, but is not on the injury report for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Wicks is coming off a career game, hauling six catches for 94 yards and two scores on Thanksgiving. With rookie Matthew Golden struggling to get up to speed, Wicks has stepped into a full-time role. He's a risky play in Week 14, but the Bears are susceptible to big plays through the air, giving him some upside for desperate managers. |
Dontayvion Wicks player page
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is listed as questionable for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Reed got some limited practices in last week, so he's likely getting close to a return. Even when he is active, managers will likely want to take a week to see how he looks before elevating him into starting lineups. If he can't suit up this week, he'll probably return in Week 15. He's worth a stash even if you don't need him. His upside late in the season could make him a player you want to avoid facing through the fantasy playoffs. |
Jayden Reed player page
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is listed as questionable for Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Given the first-round price tag, Golden's rookie season has been incredibly disappointing so far. A couple of flashes early were quickly forgotten as he struggled to maintain any production or consistency. Even if active in this matchup, he's deep down in the rankings. Keep him rostered in dynasty leagues and hope he can take a step forward next year, but limit any expectations for this season. |
