Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught two of his three targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. McCormick, officially signed to the active roster this week, played admirably while filling in for Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad). McCormick's efficiency and productivity also allowed him to operate as the Raiders' clear No. 1 running back over Ameer Abdullah. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this backfield, as it's possible that McCormick remains the lead back even after Mattison and White return from their respective injuries. The 24-year-old should be treated as a solid RB3 option in fantasy football ahead of next week's battle with the Atlanta Falcons.

The Las Vegas Raiders' defense forced three turnovers, registered four sacks, and allowed 28 points during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While the defense struggled to keep points off the board, the unit did a good job taking advantage of Baker Mayfield's mistakes through the air and applying pressure frequently. Defensive standouts for the Raiders included Tre'von Moehrig (eight tackles, 0.5 sacks, three passes defended, one fumble recovery), K'Lavon Chaisson (0.5 sacks, one interception), and Amari Burney (one sack, one forced fumble). This unit will look to carry some of its momentum into a Week 15 meeting with the struggling Atlanta Falcons.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (right hand, head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 14 win over the New York Giants and did not return. The veteran quarterback took a hit and landed awkwardly after one of his rushing attempts. He was quickly taken to the locker room for evaluation, and Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports that Carr has a right-hand injury and is being assessed for a potential concussion. He finished Sunday's contest having completed 20 of 31 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also rushed for 12 yards. Jake Haener is expected to fill in at quarterback for the duration of Carr's absence. The Saints return to action next Sunday against the Washington Commanders.

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) has pain in his knee and will undergo additional testing in order for medical personnel to determine the extent of his injury, head coach Dave Canales told the media after Sunday's Week 14 loss. Brooks suffered a non-contact injury during the first half and was quickly ruled out. He finished with just one carry for a loss of three yards. It's a concerning sign for the rookie, especially given his injury history. Brooks tore his ACL during his final season at the University of Texas, and that injury delayed his NFL debut until three weeks ago. Brooks, the Panthers, and fantasy managers will brace themselves for his diagnosis and hope that he's not headed for yet another lengthy absence. In the meantime, Chuba Hubbard will operate as the Panthers' primary running back.

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn (groin) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, Horn had registered six total tackles, bringing his season total to 62. The severity of his injury is unknown, but it was evidently enough to keep him sidelined for most of the fourth quarter. Until Horn can return to action, Dane Jackson should step up as one of Carolina's primary cornerback options alongside Mike Jackson.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was placed in an air cast and carted to the locker room during the third quarter. At the time of his departure, O'Connell had completed 11 of his 19 pass attempts for 104 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He also had six rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. While O'Connell's stats weren't amazing, he helped keep the Raiders competitive and never trailing by more than four points. Desmond Ridder has replaced O'Connell at quarterback. If O'Connell misses extended time, Ridder would be in line to start against his old team, the Atlanta Falcons, in Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (back) is now doubtful to return against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14. Irving exited early in the second quarter and was initially listed as questionable, but the Buccaneers revised his status and downgraded him to doubtful at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Assuming his day is done, Irving will finish Sunday's contest with four carries for three rushing yards, plus a 15-yard reception. Rachaad White will lead Tampa Bay's backfield for the duration of Irving's absence. The Buccaneers return to action next Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The San Francisco 49ers have declared OG Aaron Banks, S Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, CB Rock Ya-Sin, DE Nick Bosa, OT Trent Williams, QB Joshua Dobbs and RB Israel Abanikanda inactive for Week 14.

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (quadriceps) is officially active for the Week 14 game.

Fantasy Spin: Moore should see a good amount targets this week despite the injury and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) will miss his fourth consecutive game with a wrist injury after officially being named inactive. The Bills take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14 and will be without Coleman and Dalton Kincaid (knee). That leaves Amari Cooper and Khalil Shakir as the top two pass-catchers available again. In their last game against the 49ers, Cooper collected three receptions for 12 yards while Shakir posted four receptions for 30 yards. Curtis Samuel may also get into the action but has been less reliable.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Swift had been listed as questionable but was trending toward playing. He'll suit up as the Bears' primary option out of the backfield and could even see a few extra opportunities with backup running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) sidelined. Swift ranks as the overall RB19 in PPR leagues this season but has been held to single-digit fantasy points in each of the last two weeks. He'll look to bounce back as a high-end RB2 this week versus the 49ers' suspect run defense.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction entering this weekend. Moore has 15 catches, 203 yards, and two touchdowns over his last game, vaulting him to the overall WR15 in fantasy football through 12 games. He should continue to be started in all leagues ahead of this week's battle with the Niners.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will officially miss his third consecutive game while he nurses a knee injury. Since Keon Coleman (wrist) will also miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, the main pass-catchers will be Dawson Knox, Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, and Curtis Samuel. In the team's Week 13 win, Knox registered two receptions for 56 yards on two targets, and the Rams give up the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.

The Buffalo Bills have declared DT Jordan Phillips, TE Quintin Morris, CB Kaiir Elam, LB Edefuan Ulofoshio, WR Keon Coleman, C Will Clapp and TE Dalton Kincaid inactive for Week 14.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (back) has been tagged as questionable to return Sunday after leaving the game with a back injury. He was uncertain to play in this game in the first place due to hip and back issues but was named active ahead of kickoff. Unfortunately, the back issue was aggravated in this case. If he's unable to return, he'll finish with four carries for three yards and one catch for 15 yards while Rachaad White should see a bigger snap share.

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) isn't expected to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles. The rookie wasn't involved long, amassing only one carry for negative yardage before going down with a right knee injury. He spent most of the year working his way back from a right knee injury suffered at the collegiate level. However, things don't look promising for Brooks, considering he went down in Week 14 with a non-contact injury. Fantasy managers are obviously hoping for the best. But with Miles Sanders (ankle) on the IR and Raheem Blackshear (chest) questionable to return, Chuba Hubbard could be busy for the rest of the contest.

Pittsburgh Steelers DT Larry Ogunjobi (groin) suffered a groin injury during the Week 14 game and is considered questionable to return.

The New York Jets are considering selecting a quarterback early in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft even if QB Aaron Rodgers remains on the roster next season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

From TheHuddle

Despite a season that hasn't gone as planned in 2024, the San Francisco 49ers still plan to lock in quarterback Brock Purdy on a long-term extension for 2025 and beyond this offseason. Injuries have mostly been to blame for San Fran's 5-7 record, as their offensive line has endured some key injuries, while receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) have both missed the majority of the season due to injuries. Despite the injuries to key offensive players around him, Purdy ranks eighth in the NFL in EPA per play at the QB position and has thrown for 2,707 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in his 11 starts. He should be viewed as a low-end QB1 option in fantasy this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Purdy's 21.7 average fantasy points per game has him tied for eighth among QBs with Russell Wilson.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (hip), who was listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report, is officially active on Sunday to take on the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Palmer popped up on this week's injury report with a hip ailment and was limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday, but he'll be out there this weekend in a depth role for the Bucs again. The matchup against the two-win Raiders is an enticing one, but we still wouldn't suggest the 23-year-old in starting fantasy lineups because of his lack of involvement in Tampa's offense this year, even after Chris Godwin's (ankle) season-ending injury. The second-year pass-catcher hasn't exceeded three catches for 33 yards in a game this year and has a total of just 10 receptions (18 targets) for 141 yards and one touchdown in 10 games. Palmer remains the WR4 behind Mike Evans, Sterling Shepard and rookie Jalen McMillan.
