Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) had surgery on his torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. Burks has been a bust for the Titans since they selected him 18th overall in 2022 out of Arkansas. The 24-year-old has played in only 27 games (17 starts) in his first three seasons in the NFL and has caught 53 passes on 92 targets for 699 yards and only one touchdown. He had been on Injured Reserve since Oct. 19. Burks wasn't exactly dealing with a full tear of his ACL, so perhaps he will be in play to start the 2025 regular season on time for the Titans. In just five games played in 2024 before his injury, Burks was well off the fantasy radar and had just four receptions for 34 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets. The Titans will continue to use Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd in three-wide sets.

The Cincinnati Bengals placed kicker Evan McPherson (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It was announced earlier on Wednesday that McPherson would miss some time due to his injury, and now he won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. With fantasy championship matchups in most leagues coming in Week 17, managers with McPherson on their rosters in redraft leagues can let him go. The Browns worked out and signed former Washington Commanders and Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York on Wednesday, and he will be their kicker in Week 14 on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Like the Bengals in 2024, the 25-year-old McPherson was a fantasy disappointment in 12 game, going 16-for-22 on field-goal tries while missing just one of his 38 extra points.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said he expects rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee) to practice on Wednesday. This is certainly excellent news for fantasy managers after a report surfaced earlier on Wednesday that McConkey's status for Week 14 on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs was in question after he injured his knee late in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Before injuring his knee in Week 13, the 23-year-old second-round wideout was LA's offense, going for nine catches on 12 targets for 117 yards on the day. The fact that the Georgia product is set to practice on Wednesday is a great sign, but we'll keep a close eye on his status the rest of the week. If McConkey is active on Sunday evening, he'll be a must-start for fantasy managers as quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to target through the air.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams said he's open to returning to the team next season, although there are many factors out of his control, including contract issues and quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future. Adams also said he has no regrets about joining the Jets this year and he's enjoyed his experience, even though the team hasn't been able to turn their season around. If Rodgers isn't back in New York, which isn't expected, it's unlikely the 31-year-old All-Pro wideout will be. The six-time Pro Bowler only played in three games with the Las Vegas Raiders this year before forcing his way out of town to reunite with his buddy Rodgers after working with him in Green Bay earlier in his career. In six games with Gang Green, Adams has caught 31 of 58 targets for 344 yards and two touchdowns. He's still an every-week starter, but sharing valuable targets with Garrett Wilson caps his fantasy upside.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined for the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Tillman suffered a concussion in the Thursday night win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 and wasn't able to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to face the Denver Broncos on Monday night in Week 13. With a DNP to kick off Week 14 preparation, the 24-year-old could miss a second straight game this Sunday versus the Steelers. When healthy, the second-year pass-catcher has become intriguing as a WR4/flex in fantasy leagues now that quarterback Jameis Winston has given this offense a spark since the season-ending injury to Deshaun Watson (Achilles). In Monday night's loss to Denver, Jerry Jeudy had over 200 yards, Elijah Moore went over 100 yards, and tight end David Njoku scored twice with Tillman out.

The Baltimore Ravens are suspending wide receiver Diontae Johnson for one game without pay for conduct detrimental to the team, according to sources. It means that Johnson will not be available to play when the team returns from their bye to take on the New York Giants in Week 15. Johnson was acquired by the Ravens from the Carolina Panthers on the cheap at the trade deadline, but the 28-year-old has been non-existent on offense in Baltimore and likely voiced his frustration with his lack of a role. In five games with the Ravens, Johnson has one reception on five targets for six yards. He didn't play a single snap on offense in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and is now in the dog house. Fantasy managers should have sent Johnson to the waiver wire a bit ago, but this suspension is essentially rock bottom for his value in 2024.

Chicago Bears running backs D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) were both listed as DNPs for Wednesday's practice. The good news is the Bears have extra time to tend to their injuries after losing last Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game to the division-rival Detroit Lions, but Chicago's backfield is ailing and could be short-handed for a Week 14 meeting with the similarly banged-up San Francisco 49ers. If neither Swift nor Johnson manage to get the green light to play this weekend, the Bears would be forced to use third-stringer Travis Homer as their lead back, which would obviously be bad news for their offense on a team that has lost six straight games. The 25-year-old Swift has been the Bears' primary back all season. He had a streak of four straight games with a rushing touchdown from Weeks 4-7, but he's scored just once since.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears wide receivers DJ Moore (quadriceps) and Keenan Allen (ankle) were both listed as non-participants on Wednesday for the team's first practice of the week. The Bears played last Thursday on Thanksgiving in the loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions, so they'll have extra time to heal heading into Sunday's Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers. However, Moore and Allen will be worth watching the next few days to see if they are just being rested or if their injuries are serious. Both wideouts had big games in Week 13, with Moore catching eight passes (16 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown, and Allen going for a 5-73-1 line on eight targets. If one or both of Moore and/or Allen are in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Niners, rookie Rome Odunze would have clear WR2 upside in fantasy.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday as he deals with a hamstring injury. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said the 2022 first-round pick will not play against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday if he is not 100% healthy. The two-time first-team All-Pro has not missed a game this season, but the team is likely to be cautious with its young star players down the stretch considering the playoffs are unlikely after a 3-9 start. His potential absence from the lineup could be a positive for Miami wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing on Wednesday. The former first-round pick has missed each of the last two games with a hamstring injury, but he did log limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday last week. The Slim Reaper has hauled in 41 passes for 516 yards and four touchdowns this season, but he has three missed games and three games under five half-PPR fantasy points. If Smith returns this Sunday to face the Carolina Panthers, he has a boom-or-bust outlook in a game Philadelphia should dominate and control on the ground. That said, tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) could be out of action, which enhances Smith's fantasy floor and ceiling.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday after suffering a knee injury in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Goedert has already missed three games this season and could be trending toward another absence. The 29-year-old has hauled in 38 passes for 441 yards and two touchdowns this year, but he has only produced more than 10 half-PPR fantasy points in two of his nine games. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) potentially returning to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 13, Philly might opt to be extra cautious with its star tight end. If he does not play, Grant Calcaterra is a potential deep-league streaming option against a Carolina defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday to begin preparation for the Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Hall is dealing with a knee injury, and interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich is not sure if he will play on Sunday. It's worth noting Hall did not practice on Wednesday last week but still played against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. He registered 12 carries for 60 yards but did not catch a pass. Hall and Braelon Allen fantasy managers should continue to follow Hall's status through the end of the week. The Dolphins have surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points per game to running backs, so either player could be in for a solid day for the last week of the fantasy football regular season.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad), who missed the last two games with a quad injury, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. The rookie earned 17 targets over his previous three active games, which made him a fantasy football sleeper. However, his fantasy value when he returns to action could be limited following the return of Adam Thielen, who totaled 99 yards in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Coker can play on Sunday, he's best left on the bench or waiver wire against a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That said, he remains an intriguing dynasty league stash and potential DFS value down the stretch.

The Cincinnati Bengals settled on former Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders kicker Cade York after working out several kickers on Wednesday, according to sources. The Bengals are signing York with kicker Evan McPherson (groin) expected to miss a few weeks due to injury. York appeared in one game for Washington back on Sept. 8 in the Week 1 regular-season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and made one of his two field-goal tries and both of his extra points. The 23-year-old was drafted in the fourth round in 2022 out of LSU by the Cleveland Browns, but he made only 75% of his 32 field-goal attempts in his rookie season and the Browns moved on. The Bengals should be able to put up points on Monday night in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys, but York will be a pretty shaky streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced on Wednesday that the team signed free-agent safety Micah Hyde to their practice squad. Hyde will return to the team that he played for from 2017 to 2023 after not signing with another team in free agency for the 2024 campaign. He was a Pro Bowler in his first year in Buffalo back in 2017 and made 14 starts for them a year ago, accumulating 54 tackles (37 solo), two interceptions and seven pass breakups. The 33-year-old veteran defensive back will work his way back into shape on Buffalo's practice squad for now as safety depth, but it remains to be seen how much of a role he'll have in his reunion with the Bills for the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday that rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot), who was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve this week, had surgery for a Lisfranc injury to his foot. Johnson was injured in last Thursday's loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving and will now look to get healthy this offseason as he heads into his sophomore season. The 23-year-old fourth-rounder finishes his first year in the NFL with 29 receptions for 331 yards and one touchdown in 12 games. Johnson was just starting to get more involved as a pass-catcher for the Giants before his injury and he's an interesting dynasty/keeper hold, although New York's situation at quarterback may hold him back in future years. For the rest of 2024, Daniel Bellinger figures to be New York's primary pass-catching TE, but he'll be a TE2, at best, in fantasy.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson (groin) is expected to miss several weeks due to a groin injury, according to sources. McPherson's injury isn't season-ending and won't require surgery, but he's going to miss some time for the Bengals. Obviously, fantasy managers still in the running for a championship will have to move on from McPherson heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Cincy is bringing in former Browns and Commanders kicker Cade York to fill in for McPherson while he rehabs his groin injury. In 12 games in 2024, McPherson has been the No. 17 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points with 16 makes on 22 field-goal tries. He has missed just one of his 38 extra-point attempts. The Bengals' offense could put up plenty of points on Monday in Dallas, making York a streaming consideration in deeper fantasy leagues.

The Kansas City Chiefs placed kicker Spencer Shrader (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed kicker Matthew Wright to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Shrader will be required to miss at least the next four games, meaning he won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale in Denver against the division-rival Broncos. Shrader was initially signed when the team put regular kicker Harrison Butker (knee) on IR, but he only made it two games with the Chiefs before getting injured himself. Butker will be eligible to come off IR in Week 15 to face the Cleveland Browns, so Wright could only stick around in KC for another week. Last week in the win over the Raiders, Wright made four of his five field-goal attempts and his only extra point. He'll be on the streaming radar on Sunday night against the Chargers in fantasy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (leg) would have been a full participant on Wednesday if the team held a full practice. The team conducted a light walkthrough session for the first practice of the week. Mayfield went down in pain in the Week 13 overtime win over the division-rival Carolina Panthers on Sunday when he was cleated in his right leg. The 29-year-old briefly left the game but returned to lead the team to a win in overtime, and the Bucs expect him to be just fine to play this Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers were a bit disappointed with his showing against Carolina, as he threw for only 235 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, but he has a great matchup upcoming and will have QB1 upside against the Raiders.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs' calf injury is something that he dealt with in the past this season, and it's more of a nagging issue more than anything. Although Jacobs popped up on the Week 14 injury report and was listed as limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday, there's not much cause for concern. Jacobs could get back to a full practice on Wednesday and be removed from the final injury report altogether. Even if he's listed as questionable for Thursday night's big divisional contest against the Detroit Lions, we'd expect Jacobs to be ready to play while handling his normal lead-back role in the Packers' backfield. The Lions aren't the greatest matchup for an opposing RB, especially at Ford Field, but Jacobs has had enough volume in 2024 to be considered a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 this week.
