  • WAS Running Back #8

    Brian Robinson (knee) did not practice on Thursday.
    Robinson was on a similar trajectory last week but practiced on Friday to suit up for Week 5’s contest against the Browns. It’s possible the Commanders are again managing his practice workload and will ramp him up a bit on Friday before deciding his status heading into the weekend. If Robinson is unable to go, Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols would be in line to split the team’s backfield snaps. Even if Robinson is active, it’s possible Ekeler sees a bigger role after the Commanders pulled Robinson in the second-half of a blowout win last week.
  • CLE Wide Receiver #19

    Browns declared S Juan Thornhill, WR Cedric Tillman, RB D’Onta Foreman, CB Chigozie Anusiem, T Jedrick Wills Jr., DT Sam Kamara, and DE James Houston inactive for Week 13 against the Broncos.
    The loss of Tillman is a massive blow considering he had stepped into the featured pass-catching role for the Browns. Foreman is not needed with Nick Chubb healthy, while Wills’ absence could create additional pressure for quarterback Jameis Winston against an aggressive Denver defense.
  • DEN Defensive Back
    Broncos declared QB Zach Wilson, CB Riley Moss, LB Drew Sanders, DL Eyioma Uwazurike, OL Frank Crum, and OL Nick Gargiulo inactive for Week 13 against the Browns.
    Not much to see here for one of the healthier teams in the league as they look to keep pace for one of the final Wildcard spots out of the AFC. The Broncos currently reside in the seventh and final playoff spot, holding off the Colts by a game and a half.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #15
    Rams coach Sean McVay said he expects Demarcus Robinson (hand) to be available for Week 14 against the Bills.
    Robinson suffered a hand injury in Sunday’s win over the Saints but did score a 46-yard touchdown in the victory. If he’s active, Robinson is boom-or-bust WR5 in next week’s game against the Bills.
  • GB Running Back #8
    Josh Jacobs (calf) was listed as a limited participant on Monday’s estimated practice report.
    Jacobs has been dealing with this calf injury for the last several weeks and shouldn’t be at risk of missing Thursday night’s contest against the Lions. Barring an unexpected setback, Jacobs should be good to go for Week 14 and will profile as a low-end RB1 against a stout Lions defense.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Ladd McConkey (knee) is “working through a couple things” and will be evaluated as the week progresses.
    Harbaugh said “we’ll see” when asked if McConkey would practice this week. It certainly sounds like McConkey is questionable for Week 14 at the very least, and his practice participation will be something to monitor throughout the week. He never actually left Week 13’s win over the Falcons, but was clearly playing through a lot of pain. If McConkey did sit, it’s possible Quentin Johnson could be in for a more WR3-interesting role as the No. 1 target against the Chiefs.
  • SF Running Back #24
    49ers placed RB Jordan Mason (ankle) on injured reserve.
    Mason and Christian McCaffrey (knee) both landed on injured reserve on Monday, paving the way for Isaac Guerendo to become a league-winner in fantasy leagues. Mason would be eligible to return in Week 18 of the regular season, but if the 49ers don’t activate him, his year would end with a rushing line of 153-789-3. He served as the 49ers’ bell cow back for eight weeks while McCaffrey was out, and was one of the top running backs in fantasy during that two-month stretch. Mason will be a restricted free agent next offseason, but could end up playing for another team in 2025 if the 49ers don’t match any qualifying offers that may come his way. Mason will be 26 at the start of next season and has been a lightly-used back during the first three years of his career.
  • SF Running Back #23
    49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Christian McCaffrey (knee) will go on injured reserve.
    McCaffrey will not have surgery and is expected to miss six weeks, which will likely end his season unless the 49ers rally to make the playoffs from a 1.5-game deficit. What can we say about Christian McCaffrey’s 2024 season? Well, it didn’t start. Then he didn’t really play all that well after he returned from his Achilles tendonitis. Then it was over. The final line of 50/202/0 with 15/146/0 receiving over four games correctly showcases the lack of burst he showed. McCaffrey should return as San Francisco’s No. 1 back next year, and perhaps this time he’ll even be available to play in Week 1.
  • LAR Cornerback #13
    Rams claimed CB Emmanuel Forbes off waivers.
    Forbes was waived by the Commanders last week after failing to impress the new regime in his second season. The former No. 16 overall pick was one of many reaches made by former head coach Ron Rivera during his four-year tenure, and didn’t make it even two full seasons with the team that drafted him. Forbes will have a chance to revive a career that has quickly gone awry now that he’s with the Rams.
  • FA Wide Receiver #16
    Bengals waived Trenton Irwin.
    The long-time Bengal simply fell behind Jermaine Burton and Andrei Iosivas in the pecking order, making him expendable. He only caught three passes for 15 yards for Cincinnati this year. The 28-year-old offers special teams value and probably will be able to pick up a new job for the final month of the season.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports Dallas Goedert (knee) “could be a candidate for short-term IR.”
    McLane’s knee injury was not believed to be “serious” per initial reports, but now McLane is reporting that Goedert’s injury “will likely sideline him on a week-to-week basis.” For now, we’ll assume Goedert will be questionable for Week 14’s game against the Panthers, but that could change once we get a look at the team’s practice report later in the week. If Goedert is unable to play in Week 14, Grant Calcaterra would draw the start in his absence.
