Tyreek Hill is Inactive for Week 15
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 17 2023, 11:30 am
|
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is inactive today. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Despite returning to the game in a limited capacity last week with an ankle injury, Hill is going to sit this one out against the Jets. That will likely shift more work to Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson but expect the Dolphins to use a run-heavy approach with Raheem Mostert and Devon Achane (toe) who is active.

Eagles list Jalen Hurts Questionable with illness
Traveling separate from the team
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 17 2023, 11:04 am
|
Eagles are downgrading QB Jalen Hurts to questionable for Monday night’s game in Seattle after his sickness worsened overnight, per a source.
Hurts still is harboring hopes of playing Monday night, and is traveling to Seattle separately from the team so as to try not get anyone else sick. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Players typically play with illness but this is a situation to monitor. It sounds like Hurts may have been ruled out if they game was Sunday. Marcus Mariota would start if Hurts ends up on the bench.

Chris Godwin expected to play
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 16 2023, 11:28 pm
|
Buccaneers’ WR Chris Godwin, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee injury, is expected to play vs. the Packers, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Godwin missed practice time early in the week but did practice Full on Friday. Godwin has just 2 TDs on the season (1 rushing) but did see 11 targets last week against the Falcons. His matchup this week against the Packers isn't the best as they've given up just two 100-yard receiving games all season (Olave, Allen).

Aaron Jones expected to play in Week 15
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 16 2023, 11:27 pm
|
Packers’ RB Aaron Jones, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee injury, is expected to play vs. the Buccaneers, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: It's been a lost season for Jones who injured his hamstring in Week 1 and hasn't been able to stay healthy since. The last time he played was Week 11. His snaps may be limited even with AJ Dillon listed as Questionable with a thumb issue. Kenyan Drake has been elevated from the practice squad.

Gametime decision for Chris Olave
Missed practice all week with ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 15 2023, 2:47 pm
|
Dennis Allen said Saints WR Chris Olave will be questionable right up until game time even though he didn’t practice all week. Said it’s not a high ankle sprain and he’s done well in rehab. And he’s the kind of guy who will go if he has any chance.
Said he was hurt on TD catch. (Mike Triplett on X)
FFToday's Take: The Saints will be extremely thin at the WR position if Olave isn't able to go. Rashid Shaheed got in limited practices this week and could be active and A.T. Perry will also be in the mix. The Giants have been a great matchup for opposing WRs giving up the 3rd most fantasy points to the position.

Isiah Pacheco to miss second straight game
Could practice next week
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 15 2023, 1:58 pm
|
The Chiefs have ruled out Isiah Pacheco for Sunday's game at New England. They will play without their RB1 for the second straight week. Andy Reid said Pacheco had surgery on his shoulder and could be back at practice next week. (Adam Teicher on X)
FFToday's Take: We saw the Chiefs use Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon last week with Pacheco out, and that's likely what we'll see again. CEH had 15 opportunities while McKinnon had 7. McKinnon's use in the passing game and around the goaline will keep both in the Flex conversation this week against the Patriots.

Brian Robinson Jr. Out for Week 15, hamstring injury
More work for Antonio Gibson, Chris Rodriguez Jr.
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 15 2023, 1:20 pm
|
Commanders ruled out RB Brian Robinson for Sunday’s game at Los Angeles due to his hamstring injury. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Robinson injured his hamstring back in Week 13 against the Dolphins. The Commanders were on a bye in Week 14, but that wasn't enough time to overcome his injury. We should see increased usage for Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez Jr. who will likely handle the majority of backfield work. Gibson will have a good projection this week in a game with a 50.5 total.

C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins expected to miss Week 15
Texans thin on offense
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 15 2023, 12:56 pm
|
Besides C.J. Stroud (concussion), other #Texans set to miss Sunday's game against #Titans Will Anderson Jr. (high-ankle sprain), George Fant (hip), Nico Collins (calf), Blake Cashman (hamstring), Tavierre Thomas (hamstring) @KPRC2 (Aaron Wilson on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Texans are losing steam as a result of injuries to their top three players on offense. Stroud, Collins and Tank Dell will be out when Houston takes on Tennessee. Davis Mills will be a low-end QB2 option while Noah Brown offers some flex viability if you're desperate at the WR position.

Josh Jacobs not expected to play in Week 15
Zamir White expected to start
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 14 2023, 4:25 pm
|
#Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, listed as questionable with a quad, is going to be out tonight vs the #Chargers, per me and
@MikeGarafolo. Jacobs didn’t practice this week.
Zamir White is slated to be the starter. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Some of the beat writers suggested that Jacobs may have been able to play this week if the Raiders played on Sunday. That's a good indication that he'll be back in Week 16 to face the Chiefs. White and Ameer Abdullah will handle the running back work this evening and have a good matchup against a Chargers-D that's given up the 6th most fantasy points to running backs.

Alexander Mattison ruled out for Week 15
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 14 2023, 2:24 pm
|
Vikings ruled out RB Alexander Mattison for Saturday’s game at Cincinnati and are listing WR Justin Jefferson as questionable. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Mattison injured his ankle last week against the Raiders and missed practice this week. Ty Chandler is expected to step into the starting role with Kene Nwangwu filling in as a backup. The Bengals represent a neutral matchup for opposing RBs making Chandler a viable Flex option given the expected volume.

Darren Waller back at practice, return in Week 15?
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 14 2023, 12:09 pm
|
TE Darren Waller’s 21-day window to be activated off injured reserve is being opened. He will practice Thursday for the Giants.
Waller has been on IR with a hamstring injury since the Jets game in late October. He was optimistic when talking Wednesday about being able to play this week against the Saints, even if it’s on a pitch count. (Jordan Raanan on X)
FFToday's Take: The last time we saw Waller on the field was Week 8. He's been bothered by hamstring issues throughout his career and has only played two full seasons since being drafted in 2015. Waller appears to be trending in the right direction but we probably won't know until Friday night or Saturday if he will be activated off the IR in time for Week 15.

Keenan Allen ruled Out for Week 15
Heel injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 13 2023, 5:31 pm
|
Chargers ruled out WR Keenan Allen for Thursday night’s game in Las Vegas against the Raiders. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: This is a tough blow for fantasy owners of Allen who's been outstanding this season ranking as the WR3 in PPR leagues. Josh Palmer has been activated from the Injured Reserve and is expected to play this week. With Easton Stick at QB it's going to be difficult to rank Palmer anything more than a WR2.

Keenan Allen at risk at not playing in Week 15?
Has yet to practice for TNF due to heel injury
By: Doug Orth | Dec 12 2023, 10:30 pm
|
When asked about Keenan Allen's availability for Thursday night Brandon Staley said "I don't know that yet." (NFL Network - Bridget Condon)
FFToday's Take: With Justin Herbert (finger) done for the season and their season going down the tubes quickly, the Chargers could give Allen at least one game off to heal up rather than push through the shoulder, quad and now heel injuries that have dogged him in recent weeks. If Allen sits on Thursday vs. the Raiders, there is a good chance Easton Stick will lean heavily on Austin Ekeler, Gerald Everett and Joshua Palmer.

Alexander Mattison a DNP to begin Week 15
Suffered ankle injury midway through Week 14 win vs. Raiders
By: Doug Orth | Dec 12 2023, 10:00 pm
|
The Vikings held a walk-thru today, and WR Justin Jefferson participated on a limited basis. But RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) and RT Brian O'Neill both sat out. On a short week, they'll need to make quick recoveries to play vs. the Bengals. (ESPN.com - Kevin Seifert)
FFToday's Take: There is some belief Mattison could be dealing with a high-ankle sprain. If that ends up being the case, Ty Chandler would likely handle the majority of the workload on Saturday. While Mattison has played well as of late, he has shared carries with Chandler since Cam Akers was lost for the season. It seems unlikely Chandler would have to do likewise with Kene Nwangwu. Considering how rare it is to find a back with 15- or 18-touch upside nowadays, Chandler could be a mid-range RB2 this week if Mattison sits.

Justin Jefferson day-to-day
Suffered chest injury early in Week 14
By: Doug Orth | Dec 12 2023, 1:30 am
|
Vikings’ HC Kevin O'Connell considers WR Justin Jefferson day-to-day with the chest injury he suffered Sunday vs. the Raiders and the team believes he has a chance to play Saturday vs. the Bengals. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: The few fantasy managers that were able to survive Jefferson missing seven games were dealt yet another blow in Week 14 when he got rocked on a throw over the middle early in the game. If there is one bit of good news regarding the timing of this injury, it is that Minnesota plays on Saturday afternoon. Thus, there will be no chance of a game-time decision working against fantasy managers. Assuming he doesn't have a setback, look for Jefferson to wear a protective vest and give it a go versus the Bengals.

Josh Jacobs nursing knee injury
DNP on Monday; likely in doubt for TNF in Week 15
By: Doug Orth | Dec 11 2023, 11:30 pm
|
The #Raiders listed RB Josh Jacobs as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report with a quad injury. They play the #Chargers on Thursday night. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: Las Vegas has yet to reveal what exactly Jacobs is dealing with, but it is likely a bone bruise and/or right knee hyperextension. While it is important to note that Monday was an estimated report, Jacobs walked with enough of a limp following Sunday's injury that it might be a stretch for him to play on Thursday against the Chargers. If Jacobs has to miss TNF against the Chargers, Zamir White would be the overwhelming favorite for early-down work and possibly around 15 carries. Ameer Abdullah would likely handle most of the work on passing downs.

Aaron Jones not expected to play against Giants
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 11 2023, 9:19 am
|
#Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) isn’t expected to play tonight against the #Giants, per source.
Jones, who is listed as questionable, is working hard to get back. He’s just not ready. So, it’ll be the AJ Dillon show again tonight. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Jones is working his way back from a knee injury suffered in Week 11. In his absence, AJ Dillon will handle the bulk of the running back work with Patrick Taylor mixing in.

Fractured right index finger for Justin Herbert
Status unclear
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 10 2023, 7:46 pm
|
#Chargers coach Brandon Staley announces that QB Justin Herbert has a fractured right index finger. Given where we are in the season, a fracture could mean his season is over. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Herbert injured the middle finger on his non-throwing hand earlier in the season and has injured his throwing hand as well. This could put a wrap on Herbert's season as the Chargers stand at 5-8. Easton Stick finished 13 of 24, for 179 yards and 0 TDs. In a season full of backup QBs, we might be ranking Stick for the rest of the season.

Taysom Hill not expected to play in Week 14
Foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 9 2023, 11:48 pm
|
Saints’ TE Taysom Hill, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a foot and left-hand injury, is not expected to play vs. the Panthers, per source.
Saints’ TE Juwan Johnson, listed as questionable due to a quad injury, is expected to play vs. the Panthers, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Hill will be a big loss for the Saints offense who is already down wide receivers Michael Thomas and Rashid Shaheed. Chris Olave is dealing with an illness but expected to play. Expect a lot of Alvin Kamara in this game with Derek Carr at quarterback. Johnson is moderately interesting as a TE2 if you're in a desperate situation at the position.

Trevor Lawrence to start in Week 14?
High ankle sprain
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 9 2023, 11:01 pm
|
The Jacksonville Jaguars are planning for Trevor Lawrence to start Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, but need to work out the franchise quarterback in pregame warmups before making a final decision, sources told ESPN.
Lawrence will be just six days removed from a high ankle sprain -- an injury that typically sidelines players for multiple weeks, but it would be consistent for him to play considering that he always does. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: This seems like a bad idea, but Lawrence has come back quickly from injuries in the past. It's fair to wonder if his rushing ability will take a hit which would limit his fantasy upside. C.J. Beathard would get the start if Lawrence doesn't show enough during pre-game warmup.

Amari Cooper out of concussion protocol, expected to play
Also dealing with rib injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 9 2023, 12:58 pm
|
#Browns star WR Amari Cooper, listed as questionable with a rib injury and a concussion, received his final clearance from the independent neurological consultant and is out of the concussion protocol, sources say.
He’ll play on Sunday vs the #Jaguars. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Cooper left last week's game early with rib and head injuries but is now expected to play this week in a decent matchup against the Jaguars who've given up the 7th most fantasy points to wide receivers. Cooper being active puts a damper on Elijah Moore's fantasy outlook. Joe Flacco is expected to be the starting quarterback.

Geno Smith Questionable with groin injury
Seattle QB missed practice Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 8 2023, 5:06 pm
|
Carroll said Geno Smith tweaked groin in practice Thursday. Says “we’ll see” when asked if Smith will play Sunday. Carroll says they gave Smith day off to rest groin. Says they’ll take it up to gametime. But that could also be team just being intentionally vague since he had to be listed as something. (Bob Codotta on X)
FFToday's Take: Geno missed practice Friday and seems to be a true gametime decision but you never can tell listening to Pete Carroll. Drew Lock would start against the 49ers if Smith can't go. It appears Kenneth Walker is ready to return from his oblique injury after missing three games.
|
|
 |
Tyler Higbee listed as Doubtful for Week 14
Neck injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 8 2023, 4:13 pm
|
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (neck stinger) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game. Quentin Lake (hamstring), Mike Hoecht (knee) and Byron Young (knee) are questionable but indication from McVay to reporters was he thinks all will go, barring a setback. They’ll be careful with Lake. (Jourdan Rodrigue on X)
FFToday's Take: Matthew Stafford will be without one of his weapons this week against the Ravens. Expect a lot of Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp on offense for the Rams.

Chiefs rule out Isiah Pacheco for Week 14
Clyde Edwards-Helaire next man up
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 8 2023, 2:01 pm
|
The #Chiefs are ruling out RB Isiah Pacheco, LB Drue Tranquill, DB Bryan Cook, and OT Donovan Smith for their game against the #Bills. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs are going to be short-handed this week against Buffalo. Expect Clyde Edwards-Helaire to get the bulk of the early-down work with Jerick McKinnon handling most of the third downs. CEH will have some Flex appeal in this role, while McKinnon has some mild upside in PPR leagues.

Christian Watson unlikely to play Monday night
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 7 2023, 3:55 pm
|
Christian Watson indicated it’s unlikely he’ll be able to play Monday night vs. Giants. Made it clear he wants to be on field as quickly as possible, but hamstring will likely need more time. (Ryan Wood on X)
FFToday's Take: Watson went down with a hamstring injury in Week 13... an issue he's been dealing with most of the season. With him out of the picture, expect the passing attack to feature Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks at receiver. Doubs is going to be the preferred fantasy option.

Najee Harris expected to play Thursday night
Knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 7 2023, 7:22 am
|
#Steelers RB Najee Harris (knee) is expected to play tonight vs. the #Patriots, plus other updates from @gmfb @nflnetwork (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: According to Pelissero, this is not a new injury for Harris who has been dealing with a knee issue over the last few weeks. There's been no indication of a different workload split between Harris and Jaylen Warren, though that could certainly happen tonight if the Steelers want to take a little of Harris' plate.

Vikings sticking with Joshua Dobbs at QB
Justin Jefferson expected back in Week 14
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 6 2023, 12:56 pm
|
The #Vikings are sticking with Joshua Dobbs as their starting QB this week against the #Raiders, per me and @RapSheet.
The team mulled a possible change over the bye. But with All-Pro WR Justin Jefferson back this week, the “Passtronaut” finally gets to play with full weaponry. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Dobbs threw 4 interceptions in Week 12 which gave the Vikings coaching staff something to think about during their bye week. In the end, Dobbs will get the call this week with Jefferson back in the mix at WR. Dobbs profiles as a mid-range QB2 against the Raiders.

Rhamondre Stevenson done for the season?
High-ankle sprain
By: Doug Orth | Dec 5 2023, 11:55 pm
|
Tests showed that Patriots’ RB Rhamondre Stevenson suffered a high ankle sprain and he now is expected to miss, in the words of a source, “a few weeks.” (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: With the Patriots' most important goal being to secure as high of a draft pick as possible at this point, it would make little sense to bring Stevenson back. New England's offense is dreadful enough that it will be risky to start any Patriot with any degree of confidence, but Ezekiel Elliott should see enough volume moving forward to be a decent RB2 option most weeks.

Brian Robinson dealing with hamstring injury
Commanders on bye in Week 14
By: Doug Orth | Dec 5 2023, 11:50 pm
|
Commanders’ RB Brian Robinson Jr. ruled out today due to a hamstring injury. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: There is a possibility that Robinson can return in time for Week 15 against the Rams, but the Commanders could also decide that it makes little sense to do so in another lost season for the franchise. Antonio Gibson recorded three of his 14 touches in Week 13 before Robinson left for good early in the second quarter and would likely assume the lead role if Robinson isn't ready to face the Rams. How much the lead role means is another story, especially since he would likely share early-down work with Chris Rodriguez Jr.

Trevor Lawrence diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
HC not ruling him out for Week 14 yet
By: Doug Orth | Dec 5 2023, 11:30 pm
|
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is going to rehab around the clock this week to give himself a chance to play through his high ankle sprain, per sources. Too early to know how the ankle will respond and whether he’ll be available Sunday, but they aren’t ruling it out yet. (The Athletic - Jeff Howe)
FFToday's Take: As Patrick Mahomes showed us last year, quarterbacks can play through a high-ankle sprain. The difference here is that Mahomes was able to put some weight on his ankle later in the same game. Lawrence did not return. Fantasy managers would be wise to assume Lawrence will miss at least Week 14 and probably Week 15. If that ends up being the case, C.J. Beathard will the difficult task of keeping the Jaguars atop the AFC South while trying to solve the defenses of the Browns and Ravens.

Christian Kirk expected to have surgery, core muscle
That will be a wrap on Kirk's 2023 season
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 5 2023, 12:55 pm
|
#Jaguars WR Christian Kirk suffered a core muscle injury on his catch last night and is expected to need surgery. Rehab for a core muscle issue is generally about eight weeks.
If Kirk is ready at eight weeks, he could play in the Super Bowl if Jax makes it. A little earlier puts him in the AFC Title game - if Jax makes that. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: That will be a wrap on Kirk's 2023 fantasy season. The Jaguars will move forward with Calvin Ridley, Zay Jones and perhaps we'll see more of Parker Washington who went 6-61-0 on six targets in Week 13 against the Bengals. This is Ridley's opportunity move up into the weekly WR2 conversation.

Derrick Henry avoids concussion
Did not play most of fourth quarter or overtime in Week 13
By: Doug Orth | Dec 4 2023, 4:00 pm
|
#Titans coach Mike Vrabel clarifies that RB Derrick Henry is not in the concussion protocol. That puts him on track to play this week. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Henry could be perfectly fine, but there is also a chance his symptoms will surface later in the week. There is also a small chance the team is avoiding calling it a concussion so he has a better chance of playing in Week 14 against the Dolphins. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his practice participation throughout the week, especially since the Titans' next game is on Monday night. Tyjae Spears would be set up for a huge workload if Henry does not play.

Tank Dell lost for the season, broken fibula
Texans lose key piece in receiving corps
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 4 2023, 8:11 am
|
#Texans dynamic rookie wide receiver Tank Dell lost for season to broken fibula: ‘He will be missed, most definitely’ (Aaron Wilson on X)
FFToday's Take: Dell got injured while blocking on a Dameon Pierce touchdown run. He'll finish the season with a 47-709-7 line and is expected to be ready for camp in 2024. With Dell out, Nico Collins saw 12 targets against the Broncos yesterday and we should see more volume for Robert Woods and Noah Brown down the stretch.

Kenny Pickett out a couple weeks, ankle injury
Surgery expected
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 3 2023, 9:35 pm
|
Steelers’ QB Kenny Pickett’s ankle injury is expected to sideline him “a couple of weeks”, per league source.
The Steelers host the Patriots on Thursday night, and Mitchell Trubisky now is expected to be the starter. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Pickett is expected to have surgery on his ankle but won't go on Injured Reserve according to Ian Rapoport. In a year filled with backup quarterbacks, we get another to deal with in Pittsburgh. The Steelers offense has been tame this season, struggling to muster any kind of consistency in the passing game. Don't look for that to change with Trubisky at the controls.

Chris Godwin likely to play, neck injury
Will test in pregame warmups
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 3 2023, 12:10 am
|
Buccaneers’ WR Chris Godwin, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a neck injury, is likely to play vs. the Panthers but the team needs to make sure he feels OK in pre-game warmups first, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Godwiin was limited in practice on Thursday with a neck issue. David Moore was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday in case Godwin can't go. Godwin has played second fiddle to Mike Evans this season and has just 1 TD on the year. He's a WR3 option at best.
|
|
|
Chris Olave expected to play in Week 13
Concussion
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 3 2023, 12:08 am
|
Saints’ WR Chris Olave, listed as questionable for Sunday due to his concussion, is expected to play vs. the Lions, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Olave has been in the concussion protocol this week but apparently has cleared and will be a go against the Lions. Rashid Shadeed will miss due to a thigh injury. Olave has WR1 upside this week with the Saints being down two of their starting receivers. A.T. Perry and Keith Kirkwood should also see snaps but aren't fantasy considerations.

Joe Flacco to start Week 13 for the Browns
Dorian Thompson-Robinson ruled out
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 1 2023, 4:16 pm
|
Dorian Thompson-Robinson has been ruled out for Sunday. Joe Flacco to start at QB for #Browns. Denzel Ward (shoulder), Marquise Goodwin (concussion) also out. Nick Harris (knee) is questionable. Myles Garrett will play with no game status designation. (Chris Easterling on X)
FFToday's Take: The Browns are in a world of hurt as they turn to the veteran Flacco will be their fourth starting quarterback of the season. The 16-year veteran started a handful of games for the Jets last season. He's a low-end QB2 option that's likely to favor short to intermediate passes to Elijah Moore and TE David Njoku.

Dalton Schultz expected to miss Week 13
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 1 2023, 12:34 pm
|
#Texans Friday practice which includes participation from Tank Dell, Sheldon Rankins and Maliek Collins. Not practicing and not expected to play Sunday: Dalton Schultz @KPRC2 (Aaron Wilson on X)
FFToday's Take: Schultz has missed practice this week with a hamstring injury and isn't expected to play. In his place, Brevin Jordan and Eric Saubert are likely to see action with Jordan being the preferred fantasy option. In a week with six team on byes, Jordan will be in the TE2 mix.
|
|
|
Devon Achane expected to play Week 13
Missed last week with knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Dec 1 2023, 12:20 pm
|
#Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel tells reporters that Devon Achane will return to play this week against the #Commanders. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Achane missed Week 12 with his knee injury. It's likely the Dolphins will be cautious with him as he missed multiple games with a knee issue earlier this year. He'll slot in behind Raheem Mostert but likely ahead of Jeff Wilson who loses his fantasy value as a result.

Tee Higgins limited in practice Thursday
Said he plans to play Monday night
By: Mike Krueger | Nov 30 2023, 4:11 pm
|
Tee Higgins on potentially returning for MNF from the hamstring injury that has kept him out the last three weeks: "That's the plan, for sure."
Higgins was officially listed as limited on Thursday (hamstring/ankle) on the injury report. (Paul Dehner Jr. on X)
FFToday's Take: Higgins injured himself during the week leading up to Week 10 and hasn't played since. We'll have a better idea of this availability likely on Saturday evening as the Bengals play on Monday night. If he does play, Higgins will be a Flex option with Jake Browning leading the offense.
