Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable to play this Sunday night to face the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. In addition to a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, McConkey suffered a sprained knee in the Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons and is up in the air for this weekend. The fact that the 23-year-old took part in all three practices this week gives up hope that he'll be available, but it's a sticky situation for fantasy managers to be in with the Bolts' game not coming until Sunday night. If McConkey is limited or out, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would see more targets, with Jalen Reagor, DJ Chark and Derius Davis battling for WR3 duties. McConkey has been LA's clear No. 1 wideout in his rookie season and has been a must-start WR2/3 in fantasy when healthy.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones is a solid play in Week 14 in his outing against the Atlanta Falcons at home. Jones is coming off his least productive day on the season in last Sunday's contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Still, he salvaged his day somewhat with a receiving touchdown. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster year for the 30-year-old, but his good weeks have undoubtedly outweighed his bad ones. Atlanta's defense has been one of the stingier units this season against RBs regarding fantasy points per outing (20.7[ninth-fewest]). However, they've allowed the sixteenth-most rushing yards per game (121.3) and the fourteenth-most yards per carry (4.4) to their opponents. The Falcons also allow quite a few receptions to running backs (fourth-most). Fire up the eighth-year veteran as RotoBaller's PPR RB14 in Week 14.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams are 6-6 coming into a pivotal matchup in the late window this week against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. Stafford has been on a nice roll with multiple touchdowns and no interceptions in three straight games. He's up to 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions on the season and should reach 3,000 passing yards this week. Last week, he completed 14 of 24 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns to beat the Saints. He did tweak his ankle in that game but was able to go through full practices all week and does not have an injury designation. The veteran is RotoBaller's QB17 against the Bills, who have ranked slightly above league average against QBs this season.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Friday. Ferguson suffered a concussion early in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans and hasn't played since. However, the 25-year-old has returned to practice for the first time this week as a full participant and now just needs to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. There's a chance Ferguson could be somewhat limited in how much he plays if he returns in Week 14, but if he's active, he should at least be considered a low-end TE1 in fantasy. In nine games this year as Dallas' primary pass-catching tight end, he's averaging 6.5 half-PPR points, which is tied for 23rd at the position with Dalton Kincaid. Luke Schoonmaker had eight catches for 88 yards and a TD the last two games with Ferguson sidelined.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (ankle), who was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, upgraded to a full practice session on Friday. Chase should be just fine to be ready to play on Monday night in Dallas against the Cowboys to close out Week 14 action. Although the Bengals as a whole have been a huge disappointment, the 24-year-old Chase is cementing himself as one of the best wideouts in the league, if not the best. The LSU product has developed an even stronger chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow and leads all receivers in overall PPR fantasy points thanks to 79 receptions on 109 targets for a league-high 1,142 receiving yards and a league-high 13 touchdowns scored in 12 starts in 2024. Chase is unlikely to carry an injury designation in Monday's contest against Dallas and is a must-start everywhere.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold gets an exploitable matchup this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at home. The 27-year-old signal-caller has been on a roll over the prior three weeks, averaging 270.3 passing yards per game with six touchdowns and no interceptions. It's been a strong run for Darnold, who will line up against a Falcons defense that's been kind to fantasy quarterbacks -- allowing the seventh-most points per game to field generals (19.3). With the former first-round pick streaking and an above-average matchup on paper for him, he's amongst some of the better options at his position in Week 14. He ranks as RotoBaller's QB5 for this week's slate.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was removed from the Week 14 injury report and will return on Sunday to face the visiting Carolina Panthers. Smith returned to full practices this week and will be on the field this weekend after missing the last two contests due to a hamstring ailment. It's good news for the Eagles, as they'll be without tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) for this one. Before his hamstring injury, the 26-year-old pass-catcher had two disappointing games, combining for six receptions on nine targets for only 43 yards and no touchdowns. Fantasy managers probably aren't in a rush to throw Smith back into their starting fantasy lineups, especially if he's at risk of having his snaps limited in his return. The Panthers defense has been much more vulnerable on the ground than through the air this year. Consider Smith to be a shaky WR3/flex in his return in Week 14.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadriceps) is optimistic that he will play in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers despite being listed as questionable for Sunday's game on Friday's final injury report. Moore injured his quadriceps muscle while running a wheel route early in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday but played the rest of the game. "I play through everything," Moore said. The 27-year-old caught eight of a season-high 16 targets for 97 yards and his fifth touchdown of the year on Turkey Day, and he had a season-high 106 receiving yards and a score the previous week in the overtime loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers will want to check back in on Moore's status for Sunday's game, but as long as he's active, he should be locked into starting fantasy lineups as a WR2 against San Fran.

The New Orleans Saints officially placed tight end Taysom Hill (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday. In addition to suffering an ACL tear in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Hill also suffered additional damage to his left knee and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season. It's a tough blow for the 34-year-old and the Saints offense after Hill had 188 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns just two weeks ago. He did it all for the Saints on offense and special teams and will be sorely missed the rest of the way, which should lead to even more volume for running back Alvin Kamara. Hill's fantasy value was peaking just before his injury. He should have already been dropped in redraft leagues, and Hill's availability for the start of the 2025 season could be in jeopardy. Tight end Juwan Johnson becomes stream-worthy in Week 14 against the Giants with six teams on bye.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 14 against the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Meyers popped up on the Week 14 injury report on Thursday with an ankle injury and did not practice. However, he returned to practice and is expected to be available this weekend, so fantasy managers need to leave him locked into all starting fantasy lineups with high-end WR2 upside. In quarterback Aidan O'Connell's return to a starting role in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, Meyers caught six of 11 targets for 97 yards. The previous week in the loss to the division-rival Denver Broncos, Meyers had 10 catches on a season-high 15 targets for a season-high 121 yards. Meyers could go off again against a Bucs defense that has been a top-10 matchup for wideouts in PPR setups in 2024.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Matthew Coller. Reichard has been on the injured reserve and sat out over the previous four contests. However, seeing him return to a full participant during this week's practices is a promising sign he may be able to return to action. Before the injury, the Alabama product held an 87.5% FG% and went 23-for-23 on extra-point attempts. In addition, he was also 4-for-5 on 50+ yard field goal attempts. If Reichard cannot suit up, fantasy managers should expect John Parker Romo to continue to operate as the No.1 kicker in Minnesota.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle, personal) has officially been ruled out for the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, while defensive end Nick Bosa (oblique) is considered doubtful to play. Williams will miss his third straight game due to an ankle injury, and he's also been grieving the loss of his son, so it's unclear when the All-Pro left tackle will actually return. The Niners next play next Thursday night in a divisional battle against the Los Angeles Rams. It's bad news for a Niners offense that will be without running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) for the rest of the season, and possibly Jordan Mason (ankle) as well. Meanwhile, Bosa is likely to miss his third straight game. The 27-year-old hasn't practiced since getting injured in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite Bosa's absence, the Niners defense/special teams is stream-worthy against a banged-up Bears offense.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) logged a full practice on Friday, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Cooks opened the week as a limited participant, but seeing him already upgrade to full participation suggests he will not have an injury designation for Monday night's game. Cooks returned from his seven-game absence on Thanksgiving and caught three of his seven targets for 16 yards and a score. Cooks was sidelined due to a knee infection he suffered following a minor procedure. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during Saturday's practice, but he should be expected to suit up on Monday. Despite his modest output last weekend, fantasy managers should view him as a solid WR3, as he will likely operate as the No.2 wideout in the Dallas passing attack going forward.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) was a limited participant during Friday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Lamb aggravated a shoulder injury during their Thanksgiving victory over the New York Giants but expressed that he expects to be ready for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during Saturday's final practice in case he carries an injury designation. Lamb averaged a solid 17.7 PPR points per game during Weeks 11 and 12 but took a step back on Thanksgiving when he got hurt, scoring only 5.9 PPR points. However, fantasy managers should view Lamb as a low-end WR1 facing the Bengals, who have allowed the 10th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is off the injury report and is good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup against the New York Jets. Hill opened the week as a non-participant and was then upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday. Hill was then able to log a full session on Friday which is why he does not carry an injury designation. Hill has been dealing with this wrist injury for some time but has yet to miss a game due to it. After tallying a mere 9.8 PPR points in Week 12, Hill enjoyed a nice bounce-back in Week 13 when he posted 20.8 PPR points against the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers should still view Hill as a bona fide WR1 despite a tough matchup against the Jets, who have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing WRs this season.

From RotoBaller

According to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN, Las Vegas Raiders running backs Zamir White (quadriceps) has been ruled out, and Alexander Mattison (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. White will now miss his third-straight contest. Mattison has remained a limited participant during this week's practices and could be in line to return following his two-game absence. Over the past two weeks, veteran Ameer Abdullah has operated as the lead back and averaged a modest 33.5 rushing with 25.5 receiving yards per game. However, depth option Sincere McCormick has shown flashes over this stint, as he has posted a solid 5.7 yards per carry. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Mattison's status over the weekend as he would likely reclaim his lead role if he can suit up on Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is on the streaming radar with six teams on a bye in Week 14. Seattle will travel to play the Arizona Cardinals who are the No. 15 defense against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy. Smith has not produced high-end numbers since the Seahawks' Week 10 bye as the team has slowed the game down and reduced its passing volume. However, the Cardinals are always a possible bet to put up large numbers offensively. As such, the Seahawks could be forced to take to the air more. Smith's yardage has been stellar all season, but his touchdowns have been lacking. He has only thrown two since the bye week. If the touchdowns can improve this week, there is no doubt that Smith will finish as a top-10 quarterback. You could do a lot worse than Smith in your lineup this week.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14's tilt against the Carolina Panthers, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Philly. Goedert sustained this injury during last weekend's victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The tight end was initially deemed week-to-week following the game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status next week, as he could be in danger of missing more time. This week, Goedert was unable to participate in any team practices this week. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Grant Calcaterra to see most of the snaps facing a weak Carolina secondary. Calcaterra should be viewed as a decent TE2 this weekend as the Panthers have surrendered the most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) has a chance for solid volume in Week 14. Upon his return from injury, Fant stepped right back into the starting role and earned four targets. He only gained 26 yards on three receptions, but his involvement was notable. Fant had begun to emerge prior to his injury. He had recorded two games with at least 63 receiving yards. He will likely record somewhere between his usual five and eight fantasy points this week when Seattle plays the Arizona Cardinals. That is a wide range of outcomes making him a dart throw in deep leagues and likely off the radar in normal 10- to 12-team leagues. Additionally, it remains to be seen how the emergence of rookie tight end AJ Barner will affect Fant's outlook moving forward as he gets healthier. Barner scored the Seahawks' only receiving touchdown in Week 13 and flashed solid talent while filling in as the starter.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (shoulder) is off the injury report and cleared for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Arizona Cardinals. Metcalf opened the week as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice but was then downgraded on Thursday to a non-participant. However, the wideout avoided carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game and will be a full go. Metcalf also battled this shoulder injury last week but was also able to play through it. Over his previous three contests, Metcalf had averaged 65.0 yards per game with 11.5 PPR points per game, which is a stark decrease compared to his performances over Weeks 2 through 7, when he averaged a strong 89.8 yards. Despite his slump, fantasy managers should still view Metcalf as a solid WR2 facing the Cardinals, who have allowed the 13th-most PPR points to opposing WRs this season.
