Alex Highsmith

PIT EDGE #56

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Steelers EDGE Alex Highsmith is in the league’s concussion protocol.

Highsmith left the Steelers’ Week 14 game on Thursday with a neck injury and was later ruled out. He will now need to pass through the league’s concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 15. Few players have suffered a concussion and played in the following week, but Pittsburgh gets a mini-bye after playing on Thursday, giving Highsmith a decent chance at playing against the Colts. Highsmith has six sacks and seven TFLs this season.
Geno Smith

SEA Quarterback #7

Geno Smith (groin) is questionable for Week 14 against the 49ers.

Smith was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday after not appearing on the report at all to start the week. Pete Carroll was non-committal on Smith’s status when talking to reporters, only saying, “We’ll see.” He also told reporters Smith was rested for the final day of practice. Smith should be able to play through the injury, though this is something fantasy managers need to monitor leading up to kickoff. Drew Lock would draw the start versus the 49ers’ vaunted defense. If he does get the nod, every pass-catcher on the roster would take a notable hit from a fantasy perspective.
Kenneth Walker III

SEA Running Back #9

Kenneth Walker (oblique) is questionable for Week 14 against the 49ers.

Pete Carroll told reporters Walker and Charbonnet would be game-time calls. Walker returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday’s session. Walker appears to be trending toward a return, though we won’t know his status for sure until after the first wave of games kicks off on Sunday. If he is active, Walker will rank as an RB2 in a tough matchup with the 49ers’ elite run defense.
Isiah Pacheco

KC Running Back #10

When asked about the possibility of Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) landing on injured reserve, Chiefs HC Andy Reid said, “We’ll see.”

The shoulder injury Pacheco is dealing with is the same shoulder he hurt last year, according to Chiefs beat writer Pete Sweeney. Sweeney also noted that the team is still evaluating Pacheco’s injury, but a stint on injured reserve would be awful for fantasy managers. With players on injured reserve required to miss at least four games, Pacheco being placed on injured reserve before Week 14 would mean he isn’t eligible to return until Week 18. Fantasy managers should be stashing either Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Jerick McKinnon where they can afford to do so, as both could quickly become fantasy-relevant beyond Week 14.
Puka Nacua

LAR Wide Receiver #17

Puka Nacua (shoulder) was removed from the Week 14 injury report and will play against the Ravens.

Nacua was limited in Wednesday’s walkthrough, but head coach Sean McVay said he was a full participant. After that, Nacua both participated in full and was listed as a full participant for the remainder of the week. It’s safe to say Nacua will play without any limitations versus the Ravens. In a brutal matchup with Blatimore’s stingy defense, Nacua will rank as a high-end WR2.
AJ Dillon

GB Running Back #28

AJ Dillon (groin) was limited in Friday’s practice.

Dillon has been limited in each of the Packers’ first two practices and should be good to go for Monday night’s game against the Giants. His Week 14 fantasy stock, however, could take a bit of a hit, as Aaron Jones is also trending toward a return from his knee injury suffered in Week 11. We’ll assume Dillon will be ready to go, barring any unexpected developments.
Aaron Jones

GB Running Back #33

Aaron Jones (knee) was limited in Friday’s practice.

Speaking with the media on Friday, Jones said he hopes to show he’ll be ready to play when the Packers take the field for Saturday’s practice to close out the week. Two straight limited practices to start the week suggest Jones is trending toward playing in Week 13 against the Giants, although we’ll have a better sense of his availability when the team announces their game-day statuses on Saturday. If Jones is able to go, he should have top-24 fantasy upside in his return.
Dalton Schultz

HOU Tight End #86

Texans ruled out Dalton Schultz (hamstring) for Week 14 against the Jets.

Schultz will now miss his second consecutive game with this hamstring injury, which will put tight end Brevin Jordan in line for another busy day. In Week 13’s matchup against the Broncos, Jordan emerged to catch three passes for 64 yards on five targets and played a season-high 75 percent of the snaps. Jordan will be on the low-end TE2 streaming radar against the Jets.
Noah Brown

HOU Wide Receiver #85

Texans listed Noah Brown (knee) as questionable for Week 14 against the Jets.

Brown didn’t practice on Friday, but the same thing happened last week before he ultimately suited up to play against the Broncos. We wouldn’t read too much into Friday’s DNP, as Brown was a limited participant on Wednesday and a full participant on Thursday. Assuming he’s active, Brown will be on the WR3 radar with Dalton Schultz (hamstring) ruled out and Tank Dell done for the season. Offensive tackle George Fant (hip) was upgraded to a full participant on Friday and is also questionable.
Breece Hall

NYJ Running Back #20

Breece Hall (ankle) is questionable for Week 14 against the Texans.

Hall returned to practice for a limited session on Friday. Hall played through the ankle issue in Week 13 but saw his role scaled back. Dalvin Cook pitched in for nine carries and was more efficient than Hall on a per-carry basis. Expect Robert Saleh to split his backfield once again if Hall is active. The explosive runner has been bottled up for weeks, pushing him into the middle of the RB2 ranks for Week 14.
