Tyler Boyd

CIN Wide Receiver #83

Tyler Boyd (ankle) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Boyd wasn’t on Wednesday’s injury report, so this is something new he’s dealing with. The veteran slot receiver has been a non-factor over the last three weeks, totaling 11 receptions for 82 scoreless yards, and has only surpassed 60 yards once this season. If Boyd is unable to go, rookie Charlie Jones could be next in line to fill his role in the slot. Neither Jones nor Boyd would carry much fantasy relevance in Week 14.
Noah Brown

HOU Wide Receiver #85

Noah Brown (knee) was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

This is big news, as Brown hasn’t logged a full practice since Week 10’s matchup against the Bengals. With Tank Dell lost for the season, the Texans will need Noah Brown to step up in ways we’ve seen earlier this season. In his first year with the Texans, Brown has totaled 21 receptions for 439 yards and one touchdown, averaging a blistering 20.9 YPR. He broke out for back-to-back 150-plus yard performances before suffering his knee injury and should have some top-24 fantasy upside with Dell out.
Amari Cooper

CLE Wide Receiver #2

Amari Cooper (concussion/ribs) did not practice on Thursday.

Cooper has yet to practice this week and is trending toward missing Sunday’s game against the Jaguars. Only four days removed from his concussion, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Cooper miss Week 14, as most players have failed to get on the field a week after first suffering a concussion. If Cooper is unable to go, Elijah Moore and David Njoku would see a slight boost in their fantasy outlooks.
Travis Etienne Jr.

JAX Running Back #1

Travis Etienne (ribs) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Etienne dealt with the same injury prior to Monday night’s tilt with the Bengals. The fact he’s practiced both days to start this week is enough to suggest he’ll be ready to go for Week 14 against the Browns. Etienne will be on the RB1 radar for this week’s matchup.
Zay Jones

JAX Wide Receiver #7

Zay Jones (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Jones continues to practice on a limited basis, which will likely continue through the remainder of the season. After being sidelined for five weeks with a knee injury earlier this season, the Jaguars would be wise to play it safe with Jones, especially with Christian Kirk (groin) likely sidelined for the next several weeks, if not the remainder of the season.
C.J. Beathard

JAX Quarterback #3

C.J. Beathard (shoulder) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Beathard and Trevor Lawrence (ankle) were both limited in Thursday’s practice. Beathard has practiced in a limited capacity in both practices to open the week and is in line to start for Week 14 against the Browns unless Lawrence pulls off the unexpected. Lawrence, who was a DNP on Wednesday, managed to suit up on Thursday but was sporting a large brace. It’d be surprising to see him suit up this week, but reports are he’ll be pushing to play. We’ll see how things look after the Jaguars designate game statuses to the two signal-callers on Friday.
Jonathan Taylor

IND Running Back #28

Jonathan Taylor (thumb) did not practice on Thursday.

When asked about whether or not Taylor would play in Week 14 against the Bengals, head coach Shane Steichen said, “We’ll see.” Despite Steichen’s best efforts to play things close to the vest, two straight DNPs from Taylor are enough to suggest we won’t see him this weekend. Initial reports on Taylor’s injury suggested he’d miss 2-4 weeks. He’s only been sidelined for one game since his surgery, so we’d expect him to miss at least one more game, barring any surprises.
Christian Watson

GB Wide Receiver #9

Christian Watson (hamstring) said he’s not sure if he’ll play in Week 14 against the Giants.

The good news is Watson said he doesn’t think his current hamstring injury is as bad as the one the sidelined him for three games earlier this season. The bad news is he’s not sure if he’ll be ready to play in Monday night’s game against the Giants. Watson was a DNP on Thursday but still has a chance to suit up for Friday or Saturday’s practice. It seems unlikely he’ll play in Week 14, but we’ll let the rest of the week unfold and see what kind of status he carries heading into the weekend.
Derek Carr

NO Quarterback #4

Derek Carr (concussion/ribs/shoulder) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Carr still needs to clear concussion protocol if he hopes to suit up for Week 14 against the Panthers, but he has been limited in each of the team’s first two practices to open the week. If Carr is unable to go, it will be Jameis Winston drawing the start against a Panthers defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
Lamar Jackson

BAL Quarterback #8

Lamar Jackson missed Thursday’s practice due to an illness.

For now, fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. A missed practice is never good, but if a player is to miss practice, we prefer it to be for an illness they’ll likely be able to kick by the weekend. All we can do is wait for better news for Jackson, who will, in all likelihood, be good to go for Week 14 against the Rams.
