Deguara was a third-round pick of the Packers in 2020, and has totaled 47 receptions for 436 yards and two touchdowns for his career. He managed only eight catches for 65 scoreless yards last season, as rookies Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave earned significant playing time out of the gate. Deguara won’t have any fantasy relevance in Jacksonville’s offense.

The team also released kicker John Parker Romo in an associated move. Reichard rejoins a Vikings team playing for the top seed and only playoff bye out of the NFC with five weeks remaining in the regular season.

Hufanga bolsters an already sharp secondary, although the absence of DE Nick Bosa could place additional strain on the second level with a lessened ability to generate organic pressure up front. Expect Hufanga to step back into his starting safety role after missing all but two games this season.

The oft-injured running back will make his return to the active roster in time for the team’s Week 14 game against the Giants. With Taysom Hill now done for the season with a knee injury, Miller could soak up additional opportunities behind Alvin Kamara the rest of the way.

The 49ers continue to be bitten by the injury bug, now without one of their defensive stalwarts as they take on the Bears in a must-win game. The NFC West is the tightest division in football and the 49ers know at least one of the teams from the division will pick up a win this week with the Seahawks playing the Cardinals, making this game of the utmost importance to their playoff chances.

Walker practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday before missing practice on Thursday and Friday, ultimately being ruled out for the team’s must-win divisional tilt against the Cardinals. Zach Charbonnet served in a legitimate workhorse role when Walker missed two games early in the season, which is likely to play out again in Week 14.

Ferguson missed the previous two games after his second concussion of the season in Week 11, clearing the league’s five-step concussion protocol ahead of the team’s Monday Night Football game against the Bengals in Week 14. Expect Ferguson to be back on the field with no limitations as the Cowboys grind towards the end of the season.

Lamb missed practice on Thursday but upgraded to a full participant on both Friday and Saturday, ultimately doing enough to avoid an injury designation for Monday Night Football against the Bengals. Expect Lamb to continue playing through the AC joint injury for the remainder of the season.

Diggs is attempted to return from two missed contests due to a knee injury. Should he be able to suit up, it would be the first time all season in which all three top corners for the Cowboys are active together after DaRon Bland missed the first 11 weeks of the 2024 season. We’ll likely need to wait until 90 minutes prior to kickoff on Monday night to see if that will ultimately transpire.

Chase popped on the injury report Thursday with an ankle injury but upgraded to a full participant on Friday and Saturday, ultimately entering Week 14 with no injury status. The Cowboys could have all three starting cornerbacks on the field together for the first time this season, but Chase and the vaunted Cincinnati pass offense continue to churn out usable fantasy scores with hefty pass rates. Treat Chase as a locked-in WR1 in Week 14.

Rankins has missed the previous two games with an illness and will now miss his third straight, denting the Cincinnati run defense in the process. That is less of an issue against a Cowboys team that has struggled to move the football on the ground, but the team will surely miss his services in the trenches.
