Miller, who has practiced throughout the week ahead of the Bills’ London game against Jacksonville, gave himself a 94.5 percent chance to play in Week 5. It’s a shockingly precise number and one that suggests Miller will suit up for the first time since tearing his ACL last November. Without Miller this season, Buffalo has what Pro Football Focus has graded as the league’s eighth worst pass rush.

Lamb attempted to make an acrobatic catch in the end zone and came down hard on his head. He appeared to be in the fencing position, which occurs after a player has suffered a serious head injury, and was eventually helped off the field by trainers. He leaves the field with a season-high 121 receiving yards on eight targets. We’ll check back once the team provides a status update.

Barner is good to go for the Seahawks’ Week 14 game against the Falcons. Seattle’s low passing volume keeps Barner from the weekly TE1 ranks, but he has proven himself as a capable player and remains a touchdown-scoring candidate each week.

Walker has been dealing with the glute issue for nearly two weeks. He was not on Wednesday’s initial injury report but the Seahawks ended up adding him to it later in the day. The fact that he continued practicing, albeit in a limited capacity, puts him on track to face the Falcons in Week 14.

Clowney (hamstring) attempted to give it a go in warmups after practicing once, a limited session on Wednesday, this week. He will be missed against the Lions’ top-notch offense. The Cowboys have once again declared Blue, the once-exciting rookie, inactive this week. He does not need to be stashed at this time.

St. Brown was unable to practice this week after injuring his ankle last Thursday against the Packers. While he possesses some re-injury risk, he was moving very well during warmups and should be started against the Cowboys this evening. The Lions declared S Kerby Joseph, WR Kalif Raymond, OG Kayode Awosika, TE Hayden Rucci, DL Mekhi Wingo and DL Tyler Lacy inactive for Week 14 against the Cowboys. Lions RT Penei Sewell (shoulder), LT Taylor Decker (shoulder/rest) and C Graham Glasgow (knee) are active.

The Lions will announce the official inactive list shortly, but for now, it appears as though they will have their star slot receiver on the field for their Thursday Night Football game against the Cowboys. St. Brown should be in fantasy lineups if active.

Johnston is on track to play this week, despite being listed with a new injury. The streaky perimeter wide receiver remains a weekly FLEX candidate, and his team’s Week 14 game against the Eagles should be a fantasy-friendly environment. Hopefully, he practices fully tomorrow.

Hampton’s limited participation is encouraging. The Chargers’ starting running back had his 21-day practice window opened on November 25th, though, so the team still has a way to go before they have to make an official decision on his status. Hampton has a chance to play this week. Hopefully, we will have word by the end of the day on Saturday regarding his Week 14 availability.

Dortch is seemingly heading toward an absence for the Cardinals’ Week 14 game against the Rams. The veteran wide receiver was working his way into FLEX territory just a few weeks ago. He does not need to be rostered at this time. Cardinals WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday.

Williams told reporters, post-game, that “his ankle is good because he had scar tissue from a previous injury that helped him when he was rolled up on.” Talk about looking on the bright side. Regardless, Williams is on track to face the Cardinals this weekend with No. 2 RB Blake Corum frequently rotating in. Williams is a borderline RB1/2.
