Latest Player News

All Player News
  • MIN Wide Receiver #18
    It was the star wide receiver’s first full practice since Week 5. The team activated Jefferson off the IR last week and then went on bye, but Jefferson will certainly be back for Week 14 against the Raiders. His return will be a boost for Joshua Dobbs, who was named the starting quarterback for the weekend, and the entire Vikings offense. Given how long he’s been sidelined, we should expect that Jefferson will be 100 percent healthy when he steps onto the field this weekend. Get him into your lineups.
  • NYJ Running Back #20
    Hall was ostensibly healthy for the Jets’ Week 13 loss to the Falcons; however, fellow running back Dalvin Cook had his first double-digit carry game of the season and out-gained Hall on the ground with 35 yards to Hall’s 16 yards. There didn’t appear to be any injury suffered during the game either, but Hall will now not practice to start the week as he manages this ankle injury. Jets head coach Robert Saleh was vocal about Hall needing to dance around less and pick up “grimy yards,” so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Cook continue to get even more work as Hall deals with his coach’s frustration and this ankle injury.
  • PIT Running Back #22
    Harris was unable to practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday with a knee injury, which is not great news heading into Thursday night’s game. Harris could certainly play without having practiced, but it’s not common with running backs. If Harris were to miss Thursday’s game against the Patriots, it would mean a full workload for Jaylen Warren, which would make Warren an RB1 for fantasy. Given that Harris wasn’t able to practice at all this week, it’s likely that even if he were to play, he would be doing so at less than 100 percent and could see a reduced workload.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    The Seahawks held a walkthrough, so this is more of a projected participation than anything, but it’s a step in the right direction for a player who’s missed the last two weeks. Fellow running back Zach Charbonnet was also able to go through the walkthrough, but head coach Pete Carroll said it’s too soon to determine if either will play on Sunday in a tough showdown against the 49ers. If neither is able to play, it would appear that Deejay Dallas could take on a bigger role, so it’s worth watching the practice status of both players over the next couple of days.
  • CLE Quarterback #15
    Dorian Thompson-Robinson was back at practice as he works his way through concussion protocol, but he was taking reps with the second-team on Wednesday. That could just be a one-day split since this is DTR’s first practice since suffering the concussion; however, Flacco looked good in his first start of the season on Sunday and could be the steady, veteran presence that the Browns need to claim a playoff spot. As of now, the team has not yet decided on a starting quarterback for Week 14.
  • JAX Quarterback #16
    Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that it was too soon after Monday’s game for Lawrence to be practicing; however, he made it clear that this does not impact Lawrence’s potential availability for Week 14. Pederson said the Jaguars policy is to not have players practice if there’s a chance a player can risk further damage to that injury. As a result, it would seem unlikely that Lawrence will practice until later in the week, if at all.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    “Dallas in Dallas has a ring to it,” he said on Wednesday. “I’m really glad I’m able to go and put everything else to bed and get out there and play football again.” While the team has yet to officially announce Goedert’s return, his own words make it seem as though it’s a given. While no tight end has stepped up for the Eagles without Goedert, DeVonta Smith has seen a major increase in workload and performance since the star tight end was been sidelined. Since Week 10, Smith has a 33 percent target share and 52 percent of the team’s air yards, compared to a 21 percent target share and 30 percent of the air yards before Goedert got hurt. That’s not to say the Eagles will revert back to using Smith the same way and ignore the recent success he’s had, but he may not fly as high as he has been.
  • CLE Quarterback #17
    While Thompson-Robinson is still working his way through the concussion protocol, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski announced that the quarterback would practice on Wednesday. He also said that the team has not committed to a starting quarterback for Sunday and wants to wait to see how the week of practice goes. Fantasy managers should be hoping for Joe Flacco to get another nod under center. Flacco attempted 19 passes that traveled more than 10 air yards last weekend, which was the most by any Browns quarterback in five years. If he plays, Browns receivers have a better chance of making plays and putting up big fantasy days.
  • CLE Wide Receiver #2
    The Browns star receiver left Sunday’s game after making three catches for 34 yards and is currently working his way through concussion protocol. We did see Saints receiver Chris Olave clear protocol after one week, so it’s possible that Cooper will return for Week 14, but fantasy managers should plan for him to miss time. On the season, Cooper has 50 catches for 799 yards and two touchdowns. Without him in the lineup, there will be a lot more targets for Elijah Moore and possibly even Harrison Bryant.
  • NYJ Quarterback #2
    Tim Boyle got two starts over Wilson before being absurdly cut earlier this week. Trevor Siemian took Boyle’s place in the lineup during the fourth quarter of the Jets’ Week 13 loss to the Falcons. He didn’t fare any better than Boyle, so Saleh is now going back to Wilson as his team’s season circles the drain. Wilson was reportedly reluctant to retake the starting gig after being benched, but it’s hard for him to justify turning down a starting job at this point in his career. Per usual, the Jets’ offense will struggle to put up points, crippling the output of Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson versus Houston.
