Anthony Dixon

FA Running Back #26

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Anthony Dixon carried the ball just once for six yards in a Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, 27-24.

Dixon was the only other 49er back to get a carry, as Kendall Hunter’s only impact was a big 43-yard kick return. Frank Gore is clearly the bell-cow in San Fran, and it remains unclear as to who would see a majority of the carries if he ever goes down to an injury.

Emari Demercado

ARI Running Back #31

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) was limited on Thursday.

Demercado could need another week to rehab his high-ankle sprain, but Friday’s report will clarify things. Cardinals RB Bam Knight has out-touched RB Michael Carter in each of the last three games, totaling 38 touches to Carter’s 23. Should Demercado return this week, he could reduce both players’ workloads. With all three on the field in Weeks 10-11, Knight totaled 20 touches while Demercado handled 14 and Carter took 10. Stay tuned.

Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter preview what Kenny Pickett starting at quarterback for the Raiders means for their passing game, debating if he is a better option than Geno Smith, who has struggled immensely in 2025.

Marcedes Lewis

FA Tight End #89
Broncos waived TE Marcedes Lewis.

In four games with the Broncos, the 41-year-old tight end chipped in as a blocker, but earned zero targets this season. He could find a spot on a practice squad after this.

Cam Akers

FA Running Back #30
Seahawks waived RB Cam Akers.

Akers rushed five times for five yards and caught 0-of-1 targets in his time with the Seahawks. Griffin recorded zero pass breakups and zero interceptions on 56 coverage snaps. Both players could find spots on practice squads.

Philip Rivers

IND Quarterback #17
ESPN’s Stephen Holder believes the Colts are “prepping” QB Philip Rivers to start in Week 15 against the Seahawks.

Per Holder, “it isn’t difficult to tell who a team is prepping to start. That player is Rivers.” Whether this helps the pass-catching corps remains to be seen. Rivers has not played football since 2020. One hard hit from a Seahawks pass rusher could send the 44-year-old back to the sofa. Backup QB Riley Leonard suffered a PCL sprain in his knee last week, though he is currently practicing in full. Stay tuned.

CeeDee Lamb

DAL Wide Receiver #88

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) practiced fully on Thursday.

As long as Lamb remains symptom-free, he should be good to go for the Cowboys’ Week 15 game against the Vikings. The Cowboys last played on Thursday night, in Week 14, allowing Lamb extra time to rest before practicing this week. It seemingly paid off. He can be started as a WR1.

Mason Taylor

NYJ Tight End #85
Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) did not practice on Thursday.

That makes two missed practices for Taylor. Brutal. The rookie tight end led the team in targets (eight) just last week and leads the team across the full season with 64. Theoretically, his potential absence would put more work on WR Adonai Mitchell’s plate, though Mitchell flopped by catching just 1-of-6 targets for 24 yards last week and he could be stuck catching passes from QB Brady Cook in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Devin Neal

NO Running Back #24

Saints RB Devin Neal (abdomen) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

We’d be surprised if Neal didn’t play on Sunday after back-to-back practices, and he likely has a chance to be cleared from the injury report on Friday. Neal would make for an interesting RB3/FLEX play against the Panthers, though it’d surely help out if he caught more passes in the flow of the offense.

Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice on Thursday.

So it continues. Kamara has not practiced since spraining his MCL in Week 12. He looks doubtful to play in Week 15 after two more missed practices to open the week.

Cedric Tillman

CLE Wide Receiver #19

Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion/rib) did not practice on Thursday.

Tillman is on track to miss the team’s Week 15 game against the Bears, and does not need to be rostered in re-draft formats. The 25-year-old wide receiver has appeared in nine games this season. He has failed to produce even 55 receiving yards in a single one.

Justin Reid

NO Safety #21

Saints S Justin Reid (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

It’s his first practice since injuring his knee in Week 13, and a sign that he has a chance to be active against the Panthers in Week 15. We’ll check in on Reid again tomorrow, but this is at least an encouraging sign that he could make the questionable line on Friday.
