  • SEA Wide Receiver #14

    DK Metcalf (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 13 against the Jets.
    Metcalf was unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday but practiced in full on Friday, suggesting the Seahawks were just playing things safely with their No. 1 perimeter WR. The Jets’ talented yet discombobulated defense will struggle to contain the high-end, fantasy football WR2.
  • NO Quarterback #3

    Jake Haener will be the starting quarterback for Week 15 against the Commanders according to Nick Underhill of New Orleans football.
    That means Derek Carr, obviously, will not be able to go while recovering from his concussion and hand injuries. Haener will make his second start of the season, and hope for better results than the 9-for-17 for 122 yards he registered in the 26-8 loss to the Chargers in a 26-8 loss. He’d be an absolute desperation play for those in two-quarterback leagues for the Week 15 bout against Washington.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Kenneth Walker III (calf) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday’s practice.
    Walker III has not return to practice this week after missing the Week 14 win against the Cardinals with his calf ailment. The 24-year-old tailback could play without practicing according to Mike Macdonald, but it does appear likely that he’s going to miss another game at this point; or at the very least will be limited against the Packers on Sunday. Zack Charbonnet handled himself admirably in Week 14 against the Cardinals, and will be on the RB1 cusp against Green Bay if Walker III can’t play.
  • KC Wide Receiver #5
    Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Hollywood Brown (shoulder) has received clearance to practice.
    Brown will officially begin to practice as he looks to make his season debut after suffering a shoulder injury in the first preseason game of the year. The speedy 27-year-old will give Patrick Mahomes another quality target, but it remains to be seen just how many targets he’ll receive down the stretch with Kansas City a lock for a postseason berth. Fantasy managers may want to roster Brown if they have room, but a wait-and-see approach is easy to justify.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #15
    Demarcus Robinson (shoulder) is active for Week 15 against the Rams.
    Robinson missed the first two practices of the week and got in a limited session Wednesday. The 30-year-old is a risky FLEX play for Thursday night’s contest against San Francisco where the reward doesn’t outweigh said risk. The Rams inactives for Week 15 are QB Stetson Bennett, CB Cobie Durant, RB Cody Schrader, OLB Brennan Jackson, OL Dylan McMahon, and OL Warren McClendon Jr.
  • SF Running Back #31
    Isaac Guerendo (foot) is active for Week 15 against the Rams.
    Guerendo was designated as questionable coming into Thursday’s tilt, but getting in a limited session Wednesday and no issues in pregrame was good enough for the 49ers to activate the speedy tailback. He’s on the RB1 cuff for the contest against Los Angeles in Week 15.
  • SF Defensive End #97
    Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) is active for Week 15 against the Rams.
    Bosa was able to work out prior to the contest and felt healthy enough during the pregame warmups. The 49ers will also get Dre Greenlaw for his season debut. With Bosa and Greenlaw back, the inactives for the Thursday Night Football contest are T Trent Williams, QB Joshua Dobbs, DL Khalil Davis, S Malik Mustapha, CB Rock-Ya Sin and RB Israel Abanikanda.
  • LAC Tight End #81
    Will Dissly (shoulder) remained sidelined for Thursday’s practice.
    FOX’s Jordan Schultz reported Monday that Dissly is expected to miss a “couple weeks,” but there have not been any official updates since. The unofficial updates of Dissly’s missed practices speak volumes, of course. He is all but certain to be sidelined against the Bucs, leaving Stone Smartt as a true desperation TE2 streamer.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #83
    Tyler Boyd (foot) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.
    Boyd’s absence from Wednesday’s practice was likely a maintenance day for the veteran wide receiver. His upgrade to full suggests he’ll be good to go for Week 15 against the Bengals for one of the less-exciting revenge game narratives we’ve seen this season.
  • TEN Running Back #20
    Tony Pollard (ankle) did not practice Thursday.
    After popping up on Wednesday’s injury report as a DNP, Pollard has now missed two straight practices and will need to get on the field in some capacity on Friday to give himself a chance at playing in Week 15 against the Bengals. Pollard has also played through a foot injury and is no stranger to playing hurt, so there’s still a good chance we see him active this weekend.
  • TB Wide Receiver #17
    Sterling Shepard (foot) did not practice on Thursday.
    Shepard has missed back-to-back practices to start the week and is at risk of missing Sunday’s game against the Chargers if he can’t get on the field Friday. The veteran receiver caught four passes for 63 yards in last week’s win over the Raiders and has gone for 40 or more yards in three of his last five games, but doesn’t have much fantasy upside at this time even if he is active.
