Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 6.
| Footballguys view: Brown's speed can open things up for the Commanders downfield. With Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel healthy as well, Washington has their full complement of weapons on offense. Brown is a 'what the heck' flex in his first game back, but know he may be on a snap count in his first game back since Week 2. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
