Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is expected to play on Sunday versus the 49ers. The 25-year-old has struggled in the last few games, most recently amassing only 39 yards off 11 carries and adding two catches for 35 yards in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. He missed a few practices throughout the week because of a quad injury. Fortunately, he logged a limited session on Friday, giving him a chance to get on the field. With the Niners defense having a tough time stopping the run, Swift has an excellent chance to get on track, giving him plenty of upside in Week 14. However, his presence should mean fewer touches for Travis Homer, who would have taken over as the top option out of the backfield.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadriceps) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 27-year-old was busy in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions, catching eight passes (16 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown. Unfortunately, he has been dealing with a quad issue. However, that likely won't keep him off the field. As usual, Moore is a must-start in any fantasy setup, although his presence will probably mean fewer looks for Keenan Allen.

According to ESPN'S Adam Schefter, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Browns. However, Schefter added that "the team wants to test him pre-game to make sure he's good to go." The wideout popped up on the injury report unexpectedly and was limited during Friday's practice, resulting in a questionable designation. But assuming all goes well before the opening kick, Pickens will be on the field. He began the year by failing to find the end zone in Pittsburgh's first six contests. Since then, the 23-year-old has three touchdowns. There is potential for more in Week 14, considering the Browns defense has surrendered 14 touchdowns to opposing wideouts during the 2024-25 campaign, one of the worst marks in the National Football League. Of course, assuming Pickens is active, that should mean less work for Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, and Pat Freiermuth.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is anticipated to play on Sunday versus the Bucs. The wideout didn't practice on Thursday because of an ankle issue. While he did practice in a limited capacity for Friday's session, it wasn't enough to avoid a questionable tag heading into Week 14. Meyers has played better than expected during the 2024-25 campaign, catching 59 passes for 676 yards and two touchdowns. Although the Raiders are officially eliminated from postseason contention, the team at least has a chance to close out the year as strongly as possible. With that in mind, Meyers has an advantageous matchup against a Tampa defense that has had trouble against opposing wideouts this season, making him a starting fantasy option.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. is not a recommended fantasy option in this weekend's road tilt against the New York Giants. The Notre Dame alum was signed from the team's practice squad on Saturday after appearing in three straight games due to various injuries in their WR room. With fellow wideout Bub Means (ankle) listed as out -- he'll be thrust into action again. Austin Jr. is in his third NFL season but only recorded his first statistic in New Orleans' Week 10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. His snap totals have steadily risen over that time, but he'll be tough to trust for fantasy at this juncture. For now, fantasy managers will want to take a wait-and-see approach with the 24-year-old. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR74 ahead of this week's slate.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson could be an intriguing deep-league play this weekend when he squares off against the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old typically wouldn't garner much fantasy consideration, considering his low-volume role in the Steelers' offensive attack. However, he could be featured more this weekend against their division rivals if fellow wideout George Pickens (hamstring) is unable to play. Pickens, a late-week addition to Pittsburgh's injury report, is now labeled as questionable for the home outing. Jefferson is the team's second-leading snap-getter, and while it has yet to amount to much in the box score -- he's still capable of snagging a long bomb or two from quarterback Russell Wilson. Additionally, Cleveland's defense is beatable on the back end, letting up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to WRs (37.9). If Pickens is out, Jefferson should be in line for an enhanced role. The veteran is RotoBaller's PPR WR73 ahead of Week 14.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins is not on the fantasy radar for Week 14's outing against the Los Angeles Rams. LA is actually a strong matchup for wide receivers, as they allow the twelfth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts (34.1) -- so that isn't the issue. The problem is Hollins' fantasy output. Despite leading all Buffalo wide receivers in snaps thus far, he's their fifth-leading receiver regarding yardage (231) and sixth in receptions (19). The 31-year-old caught a seven-yard touchdown in last week's victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Still, it was his only reception and target in the win on 66% of snaps. Even with a better-than-average matchup, the veteran is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent dart throw in Week 14. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR72 for this week's slate of games.

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani was elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. With fellow running back Kenneth Walker (ankle, calf) deemed questionable after back-to-back DNPs to end the week, Seattle will elect to go with a bit of insurance in the 24-year-old rookie. The first-year back was a five-year runner at Boise State and was signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent this past offseason. Holani has been up once before this year but has yet to log a snap in 2024. With Walker seemingly on the wrong end of his designation, backfield mate Zach Charbonnet projects to lead Seattle's ground attack if he can't suit up. Running back Kenny McIntosh hasn't logged a snap since Week 7, so Holani could be the one mixing in behind Charbonnet in their divisional clash.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (hip, back) is expected to play in Week 14 when his team lines up against the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie picked up two injuries in last weekend's 26-23 win over the Carolina Panthers, starting the week with back-to-back DNPs. However, the 22-year-old would be upgraded to limited on Friday and now carries a questionable designation heading into Week 14. That he could at least get in a limited practice is good news for Irving, but it doesn't guarantee his being active for the matchup. If he plays, he'll be a strong RB1 option. If he can't, teammate Rachaad White is projected to handle the majority of the backfield touches, with Sean Tucker mixing in behind him. Irving is RotoBaller's PPR RB8 in this week's rankings.

Free-agent CB Steven Nelson (Texans) is visiting the Kansas City Chiefs Monday, Dec. 9, according to his agent. Nelson had previously announced his retirement.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown has played well this season. In 12 games, the 24-year-old has 677 yards and six touchdowns off 152 carries. He also has 38 catches for 237 yards and two more scores. With production like that, he belongs in every fantasy lineup going. But Brown could be even more productive versus Dallas on Monday night, with the Cowboys allowing 14 rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs during the 2024-25 campaign, the second-worst total in the National Football League.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has arguably been the league's top signal-caller during the 2024-25 campaign. The AFC Player of the Month has been stellar, throwing for 3,337 yards, 30 touchdowns, and five interceptions while completing 67.7% of his throws. However, his efficiency hasn't resulted in a winning record for Cincinnati. With the Bengals barely clinging on to hope of making the playoffs, Burrow and company will try to keep the team alive by earning a win over the Cowboys on Monday night. With the Dallas defense allowing 28.3 points per game this season, Burrow should be in line for a potent fantasy showing. His ceiling will increase even more if Nick Vigil (foot) and Trevon Diggs (knee) aren't on the field in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been banged up this season. However, he has been productive during his seven appearances, catching 43 of his 68 targets for 558 yards and five touchdowns. With the Bengals barely holding on to playoff hopes, the wideout will need to remain productive the rest of the way. Fortunately, Higgins has a favorable matchup against a Cowboys defense that has struggled during the 2024-25 campaign. The Dallas defense may have more issues if Nick Vigil (foot) and Trevon Diggs (knee) aren't available, with both players carrying questionable tags heading into Monday's contest.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (ankle) began the week by logging a limited practice session on Thursday. However, he practiced in full the last two days and no longer carries an injury designation heading into the Monday Night Football meeting with the Cowboys. The 2021 No. 5 overall pick is the best wide receiver in the National Football League, catching 79 passes for 1,142 yards and 13 touchdowns. Unfortunately, his success on the field hasn't resulted in a winning record, with the Bengals not expected to make the postseason. But there is still hope, so Chase will remain a top fantasy option versus a Dallas defense that has allowed 28.3 points per game this season, the third-worst mark in the league.

San Francisco 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The return of Hufanga will boost this 49ers defense that will be without superstar pass rusher Nick Bosa (wrist) this Sunday. Hufanga has only played in two games this season due to injuries, but figures to reclaim his starting safety spot now. The All-Pro safety should give this secondary a much-needed lift ahead of this must-win game against the Bears.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears. As expected, Bosa will be unavailable for this game after being tagged as doubtful heading into the contest. The loss of Bosa is another big hit to a 49ers roster that has been crushed by injuries this season. The expectation is that Robert Beal Jr. and Yetur Gross-Matos will see more playing time with Bosa sidelined. This is already a must-win game for the 49ers now they must do it without arguably their best defensive player.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) has been activated off the injured reserve ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the New York Giants. Miller is currently listed as questionable, but is expected to make his return to the field after a four-game absence. It's unclear how much Miller is going to be involved with Alvin Kamara getting a bulk of the carries in the backfield right now. Possibly, Miller gets more attention with Taysom Hill (knee) done for the season. However, fantasy managers shouldn't count on Miller as a viable streaming option for Week 14.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (chest) has been officially activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. Lazard is set to return to the field for the first time since Week 7. It remains to be seen what kind of a role he's going to play as the No. 3 option behind Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams. This season, Lazard has 30 receptions for 412 yards, and five touchdowns in seven games. He should be considered a desperation flex option for the Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard (quad) has been activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. The rookie kicker appears ready to go after missing the last four games due to a strained quad. Before going down, Reichard knocked down 14-of-16 field goal attempts while making all 23 extra-point tries in eight games. The Vikings have waived fellow kicker John Parker Romo, so Reichard will reclaim the starting kicker role ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Fantasy managers in need of help at the kicker spot this weekend should take a look at Reichard.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller was activated off injured reserve on Saturday, Dec. 7. Also, OL Nick Saldiveri (knee) was placed on injured reserve, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles) was downgraded to out, WRs Kevin Austin Jr. and Dante Pettis were promoted from the practice squad and OL Kyle Hergel was waived.
