  • HOU General Manager
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Former NFL GM Mike Lombardi believes there could be “organizational changes” in Houston after the 2023 draft.
    Lombardi worked with the Patriots at one point and has a direct line to the Belichick tree. Caserio was linked back to New England by a rumor that John McClain heard at the combine -- one that McClain doesn’t personally endorse or believe in. Michael Silver notes that 49ers assistant GM Adam Peters could be a target to replace Caserio. While Caserio helped lead the search for Ryans, the two of them had never spoken per Caserio’s own admission before the process, which makes it easy to believe that he wasn’t necessarily on Caserio’s personal short list. Caserio’s initial post-season presser also had him questioning aloud multiple times that a new head coach might not want Caserio to be general manager. It’s hard to suss out exactly what will unfold here ahead of a dramatic No. 2 overall pick, but smoke has been billowing out of Caserio leaving since the end of the 2022 season.

  • CIN Kicker #3

    Bengals signed K Cade York to their practice squad.
    The Bengals will call him up to the game-day roster for at least a few weeks while Evan McPherson recovers from a groin injury. York kicked for the Commanders in Week 1 but missed both of his field goal tries and was promptly cut. Despite the weak showing in Washington, York will be a solid fantasy option behind a powerhouse Bengals offense.
  • CIN Kicker #2
    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports Bengals K Evan McPherson will miss “a few weeks” with a groin injury.
    Per Garafolo, McPherson doesn’t need surgery and it’s not a season-ending injury, but McPherson will miss “some time.” The Bengals worked out a few veteran kickers today and landed on Cade York as a temporary replacement for McPherson. Normally an ace kicker, McPherson has struggled this year en route to a 73 percent hit rate on his field goals compared to 84 percent last year. The majority of his misses have come from 50 or more yards out.
  • KC Kicker #49
    Chiefs K Matthew Wright will start in Week 14.
    The journeyman kicker made four of his five field goal tries last week in a win against the Raiders and will get at least one more start before Harrison Butker returns from a knee injury that landed him on injured reserve. The Chiefs put K Spencer Shrader on IR this week. Wright is a solid fantasy option with the Chiefs sporting an implied Vegas total of 23.5 points against LA.
  • NYG Quarterback #2
    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Drew Lock will start in Week 14.
    Tommy DeVito will remain sidelined with a forearm injury he suffered two weeks ago. Lock on Thanksgiving Day against the Cowboys passed for 178 yards and an interception while rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown in a seven-point loss. Lock was 15th out of 32 qualifying QBs in completion rate over expected in Week 13, averaging a meager 6.4 air yards per attempt. Look for Lock to again target Malik Nabers heavily with the Giants underdogs against the visiting Saints. Nabers saw 13 targets last week against Dallas.
  • BUF Safety #23
    Bills signed S Micah Hyde to the team’s practice squad.
    Hyde, 33, who played for Buffalo from 2017 to 2023, has a chance to join the team for a championship run after deciding not to retire or sign elsewhere this fall. The two-time Second-team All-Pro — who has struggled mightily with neck injuries during his NFL career — totaled 54 tackles and two interceptions last season. He’ll join a Buffalo secondary graded by PFF as the league’s 19th best.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #10
    Jets opened the 21-day practice window for WR Allen Lazard (chest).
    Lazard could return to action as soon as this week against Miami. He’s been on injured reserve since late October with a chest injury the Jets have described as “strange” in nature. His return to the New York lineup would mean a reduced role for rookie Malachi Corley, who has five targets over the team’s past three games. Lazard likely won’t be fantasy relevant in 12-team leagues.
  • JAX Quarterback #16
    Trevor Lawrence (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.
    Lawrence is in the NFL’s concussion protocol after sustaining a brain injury in Week 13 against the Texans on a dirty, late hit. There’s next to no chance Lawrence suits up this week against the Titans, leaving Mac Jones to get another start for Jacksonville. Jones has completed 62 percent of his passes for two touchdowns and three interceptions in 2024.
  • PHI Tight End #47
    Eagles signed TE C.J. Uzomah to the active roster.
    The Eagles are expected to be without Dallas Goedert (knee) this week and perhaps for a while thereafter. Uzomah should be active for Week 14 against the Panthers while Grant Calcattera operates as the team’s No. 1 tight end. Calcaterra has been somewhat productive in his 2024 starts and profiles as a desperation fantasy option in the run-heavy Eagles offense.
  • DET Defensive Lineman #98
    Lions DT DJ Reader (shoulder) did not practice Tuesday.
    Reader picked up the shoulder injury last week and appears iffy for Thursday night’s game against the Packers. He’s one of several Detroit defensive starters in doubt for Week 14. DL Josh Pascal (knee) missed Tuesday’s practice, as did DL Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring). The Lions’ defensive injuries could be a boon for Jordan Love and the Green Bay offense on a short week.
  • GB Running Back #8
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Josh Jacobs’ calf issue is a “nagging” injury.
    Jacobs was limited during Tuesday’s practice. The injury, per Rapoport, is “nagging more than anything else” and should not sideline him for Thursday’s crucial matchup against the Lions. “As of right now, it’s not something to get worked up about,” Rapoport said. Jacobs, who has a whopping 71 touches over his past three games, will be a volume-based RB1 against Detroit, one of the toughest run defenses in the NFL.
