Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton didn't lead the team in receiving in the 41-32 shootout win over the Cleveland Browns on Monday night at Empower Field, but he still went off for fantasy managers by catching six of his nine targets for 102 receiving yards. Sutton came three yards short of the team lead on the night, but he did lead the team in both targets and receptions as he continues to be rookie quarterback Bo Nix's favorite aerial target. The 29-year-old had a big drop earlier in the game that would have gone for a big gain to make his night even better. Heading into the bye, Sutton is as hot as any receiver in the NFL, going for 100-plus receiving yards in three of the last six weeks. He will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15, where he should be considered a top-15 fantasy wideout with the emergence of Nix under center in Denver.

In a game filled with explosive plays on both sides of the ball in the Monday night win over the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 13, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. stood out with a season-high 105 yards on three receptions and his second touchdown of the year. The touchdown came on a 93-yard strike from rookie quarterback Bo Nix with the offense pinned deep in their own territory on a tight-window throw that Nix placed perfectly on Mims down the seam to enable him to take it to the house. Mims has now scored in two of the last three weeks as the Broncos have made it more of a point to get him involved in their offense. He also had one carry for four yards. The second-year wideout has explosive big-play abilities, but with the impending return of Josh Reynolds (hand), targets may be even harder to come by after the team's Week 14 bye.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix led his team to their eighth win of the season in a 41-32 shootout win over the Cleveland Browns on Monday night in Week 13. There wasn't much in the way of defense in this one on either side, with Nix getting out-gunned by Jameis Winston, who threw for nearly 500 yards on the night. The 24-year-old Nix avoided sacks and finished just shy of 300 yards passing for the second time in three weeks, but he also threw two interceptions, with the first being a tipped ball that caromed high into the air, and the second one being an aggressive deep shot down the field in which he overthrew his receiver. The picks were his first since Week 9 against Baltimore, and his TD pass was a 93-yard strike to receiver Marvin Mims Jr. that was a perfect pass in a tight window. Nix has entered the low-end QB1 picture with strong performances of late and will get the Colts in Week 15 after a bye.

For the second straight week, Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin served as the team's lead back in the 41-32 shootout win under the lights on Monday Night Football at Empower Field against the Cleveland Browns. McLaughlin led Denver in rushing attempts (14) and rushing yards (84) while also catching one of his two targets for no gain. The 24-year-old looked like the No. 3 RB on Denver's depth chart just several weeks ago, but he was quick and elusive on Monday night against a shaky Browns run game and deserves waiver-wire consideration for fantasy managers in need of RB help with the playoffs approaching. While McLaughlin finished with 15 touches for 84 yards, Javonte Williams and rookie Audric Estime combined for seven carries for 13 yards and one catch for three yards. Keep in mind that this was only McLaughlin's second double-digit carry game of the year, with the first coming in Week 1.

The Seattle Seahawks have waived wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr., the team announced Monday. Shenault, 26, had appeared in 11 games with Seattle this season, catching all five of his targets for 36 yards through the air. He primarily played on special teams, returning a total of 16 kicks for 459 yards and one touchdown. While he had been a dependable special teamer for a while, Shenault muffed two kicks on Sunday and also coughed up a fumble on a return. His numerous gaffes in Week 13 ultimately cost him his job and will prompt the Seahawks to look elsewhere for their next kick return specialist.

The Philadelphia Eagles waived wide receiver Parris Campbell on Monday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The 27-year-old has appeared in five games this season, catching six of his eight targets for 30 yards and one touchdown. The former Colt and Giant will now be subject to waivers. If he clears waivers, he could end up on the Eagles' practice squad. It's possible that the Eagles' decision to waive Campbell means that DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is trending toward playing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (ankle) was diagnosed with a lateral ankle sprain following Sunday's Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints, head coach Sean McVay told members of the media, including The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue. McVay expects Stafford to be okay, and he does not anticipate the quarterback's practice or game status will be affected. The veteran signal-caller hasn't played a full 17-game season since 2021, but he's trending that way in 2024 with 12 starts over 12 games. The 36-year-old has remained a solid mid-range QB2 option in fantasy football, all while supporting the fantasy value of teammates Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams. Stafford himself has eight touchdowns and zero interceptions over his last three games, ranking as the overall QB8 in fantasy football during that span. He has low-end streaming appeal heading into Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hand) is expected to be available for the Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills, according to head coach Sean McVay. Robinson suffered a minor hand injury during Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints, but appears to be fine going forward. He hauled in two receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. Robinson has taken a backseat in the offense with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua healthy right now. That being said, Robinson is a boom-or-bust flex option heading into this tough matchup with Buffalo.

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee) was able to get through a limited practice session on Monday. That is good news considering Alexander has missed three of the last four games due to a partial torn PCL. Alexander will need to continue practicing through the rest of the week in order to have a chance at suiting up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. The return of the All-Pro defensive back would be a huge boost for this defense for this Week 14 matchup.

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver (ankle) is expected to make his return to the field for the Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Oliver has missed each of the last two games, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said that Oliver should return this weekend. The expectation is that Oliver is going to take a backseat with T.J. Hockenson back in the mix again. Before going down, Oliver was posting a few decent performances, but is unlikely to carry reliable streaming value with Hockenson healthy again.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is unlikely to take the field for the Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. On Monday, head coach Sean McVay said Higbee's chances of suiting up were less than likely for Sunday's game. Fantasy managers patiently waiting for Higbee's season debut are going to have to wait at least one more week. Higbee continues recovering from an ACL and MCL tear that he suffered in January. Colby Parkinson figures to continue being the primary tight end for this offense, but he hasn't done much on the field this season to warrant starting him in fantasy formats.

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez has been signed to the active roster on Monday. Gonzalez has been elevated three of the last four games with Austin Seibert (groin) banged up. Seibert has been placed on the injured reserve and won't be eligible to return until Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys. That being said, Gonzalez appears to be in line to be the primary kicker for a few more games. Gonzalez was 6-for-6 on extra point attempts, but missed both his field goals during the win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Despite a bit of a struggle, head coach Dan Quinn said that the team is pleased with what they've seen from Gonzalez over this last month. The 29-year-old will now head into a bye in Week 14.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that it's "probably a long shot" for defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) to play next Monday night in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but it's also "not out of the question." "I certainly expect to see him sooner than later," Jones said. Head coach Mike McCarthy said last Friday that Lawrence is getting close to a return to practice, but that doesn't mean he'll be ready to go next Monday. The 32-year-old pass-rusher has been on Injured Reserve for the last eight games after suffering a right mid-foot sprain in the Week 4 win over the division-rival New York Giants. Even if Lawrence is activated and plays in Week 14, the Cowboys will most likely ease him back into action and put him on some sort of snap count, making him avoidable in IDP fantasy leagues.

The New York Giants placed defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence (elbow) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday. Lawrence won't be able to make it back for the Giants' final five games of the season after suffering a dislocated elbow in last Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. It's a serious blow for New York's pass-rushing unit, as the 27-year-old had recorded a career-high and team-high nine sacks in his first 12 starts after making the Pro Bowl each of the last two seasons with the team. It's also a big loss for fantasy managers in IDP leagues, as Lawrence was entering Week 14 action as the No. 9 overall defensive lineman in overall fantasy points. Lawrence's play on the interior of New York's defensive line had been one of the few bright spots for a 2-10 Giants squad in 2024.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (calf) is included on the Week 14 injury report and was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday with a calf injury. Jacobs' calf injury is worth watching, but as long as he doesn't suffer any sort of setback on Tuesday or Wednesday, he should be ready to roll for a second straight Thursday contest, this time against the division-rival Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old former Raiders back has a streak of five straight games with 100-plus yards from scrimmage, so he should remain in all starting fantasy lineups despite an upcoming unfriendly matchup on the road in a hostile environment. In the last five games, Jacobs has 590 scrimmage yards and seven rushing scores on 112 touches. In the first meeting against the Lions on Nov. 3, Jacobs had 13 carries for 95 yards and caught two passes for 13 additional yards.

The New York Giants placed rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday. Johnson was injured in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys last Thursday but caught all five of his targets for a season-high 54 yards before leaving. It's a tough break for Johnson, as he was just starting to see a much bigger role in the passing game in recent weeks. The 23-year-old fourth-round selection out of Penn State will finish his first year in the NFL with 29 receptions on 43 targets for 331 yards and a touchdown in 12 games played. Johnson is an interesting dynasty/keeper asset if the Giants can figure out their QB situation sooner than later. For the rest of the 2024 campaign, Daniel Bellinger should serve as New York's top pass-catching TE, although it may not result in much fantasy relevance.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) has a sore knee and is getting treatment after getting injured in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. "It's not a long-term thing," Harbaugh said. Bateman avoided a serious injury on Sunday, and with the Ravens going on bye this week, it sounds as though the 25-year-old will have a good shot at returning for a Week 15 tilt against the New York Giants. He played only 18 snaps on offense on Sunday before getting injured and wasn't targeted at all. Surprisingly, neither Nelson Agholor or Diontae Johnson finished with a catch -- Johnson didn't even play an offensive snap -- after Bateman got hurt. In the event that Bateman isn't available coming out of the bye week, tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely could benefit the most in the receiving pecking order behind top wideout Zay Flowers.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee) is "working through a couple things" and that the team will evaluate him as the week progresses. "We'll see," Harbaugh said when asked about the possibility of McConkey practicing in preparation for the Week 14 contest on the road on Sunday night versus the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 23-year-old impressive second-rounder put up nine catches for 117 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons, but he was injured late in the game and didn't return. McConkey's Week 14 status is now up in the air, and with the game being on Sunday night, it could make decisions very difficult for those that have McConkey rostered. The Georgia product has been a must-start in fantasy, but if he's out against KC, the Chargers will need Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer and DJ Chark to step up.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson didn't play a single offensive snap in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and it doesn't sound like the Ravens are in any kind of a rush to make him a part of their offense anytime soon. "At this time, I'm going to have to wait. There are moving parts we're going to have to figure out and explore," head coach John Harbaugh said. Since joining the Ravens via trade from the Carolina Panthers, Johnson has one catch for a six-yard gain in five games played. The 28-year-old played 30% of the offensive snaps in his debut in the Week 9 win over the Denver Broncos, but he hasn't played more than 18% of the snaps since then and didn't see the field at all this past Sunday. Until further notice, Johnson is well off the fantasy radar while being behind Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor, Rashod Bateman and Tylan Wallace on the depth chart.

With both San Francisco 49ers running backs Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) landing on Injured Reserve on Monday, rookie Isaac Guerendo is now in line for lead-back duties heading into a Week 14 matchup against the visiting Chicago Bears this Sunday. McCaffrey and Mason won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, so they are effectively off the fantasy radar for the rest of the way in single-year leagues with championship matchups typically coming in Week 17. The 24-year-old Guerendo has a healthy 5.9 yards per carry on his 42 rushing attempts in his first year in the NFL while adding five receptions for 19 yards. Fantasy managers may not want to expect him to be that efficient moving forward in a lead-back role, but he should at least have weekly RB2 upside with a huge volume increase.
