Rotoworld

Mason Tipton

NO Wide Receiver #84

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Saints declared WR Mason Tipton, QB Spencer Rattler, RB Jordan Mims, LB Jaylan Ford and DT Khristian Boyd inactive for Week 14 against the Giants.

No surprises for a Saints team that is not close to healthy, but simply has all of its injured players on I.R. 24-year-old UDFA Tipton is going to be in a fight for roster survival next summer.

Aaron Jones

MIN Running Back #33

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hip) did not practice on Thursday.

Jones has played through myriad injuries this season, so even with two absences, he still has a chance to play. That said, it would make sense for the Vikings to shut him down. Jones is 31 years old and remains under contract in 2026. His backup, RB Jordan Mason (ankle), upgraded to full participation today. He would start in Jones’ stead if the veteran player cannot go.

Harold Fannin

CLE Tight End #44

Browns TE Harold Fannin (groin) did not practice on Thursday.

Fannin was unsure of his potential availability when asked about it following Sunday’s win and doesn’t appear likely to play. David Njoku (knee/NIR-personal), as well, remained out. It looks to be wheels up for Blake Whiteheart and Sal Cannella szn in Week 18, though we will check in on Friday to be sure.

J.J. McCarthy

MIN Quarterback #9

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (hand) practiced fully on Thursday.

McCarthy’s rehab continues to progress. He is on track to start one final time this season. McCarthy’s accuracy and decision-making have left something to be desired this season, but he can sometimes scramble his way to fantasy success, keeping him on the QB1/2 borderline.

Amon-Ra St. Brown

DET Wide Receiver #14

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee/ankle) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

It’s an upgrade from a Wednesday DNP. St. Brown will have some re-injury/blowout risk on Sunday if he just isn’t able to gut it out in a meaningless game against the Bears, but he appears to be trending towards playing. He likely belongs on the WR1 line if he is able to play, though perhaps as more of a mid-range option given the potential of a mid-game shutdown.

T.J. Watt

PIT Linebacker #90

Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt (lung) was limited on Thursday.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin previously said Watt needs to get in a week of full practices before being cleared. His limited participation is encouraging, but he is not yet guaranteed to suit up on game day, which means Watt may have played his last snap of the season already. The Steelers (9-7) and Ravens (8-8) are playing for a trip to the postseason on Sunday.

Tanner McKee

PHI Quarterback #16

Eagles QB Tanner McKee will start Philadelphia’s Week 18 game against the Commanders.

McKee threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns in Philadelphia’s Week 18 win over the Giants at the end of the 2024 season. We’d expect similar numbers against the Commanders in a game that will have a preseason feel. McKee is probably a startable QB2 play in superflex leagues, in a game that may be an audition as trade bait this offseason as there sure seems to be plenty of empty starting roles as compared to the number of rookie quarterbacks available to fill them.

Calvin Austin

PIT Wide Receiver #19

Steelers WR Calvin Austin (hamstring) was limited on Thursday.

Austin has a chance to return this week, but it would be nice to see him upgrade his participation level. The speedy receiver is needed with No. 1 WR DK Metcalf suspended this week. The Steelers (9-7) take on the Ravens (8-8) this week, and the winner advances to the postseason.

Darnell Mooney

ATL Wide Receiver #1

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

He was a new addition to the injury report. The last thing Mooney needed was another ailment to battle through after his collarbone injury in the preseason has largely left him ineffective this season. He’ll be tough to trust even in a WR5/WR6 role against the Saints.

Kyle Pitts

ATL Tight End #8

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Pitts sees a second-straight limited session to open the week. He’s still in line to play in Week 18 and should remain on the TE1 line, but expectations should not be “Buccaneers on Thursday Night” level high for Pitts given how often he’s appeared on the report with this injury listing the last few weeks.

Drake London

ATL Wide Receiver #5

Falcons WR Drake London (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

The main issue with London isn’t the limited sessions, it’s the fact that he doesn’t seem anywhere near close to full strength right now and he’s just toughing it out. London has just 31 yards on 12 targets since returning from his PCL sprain in Week 17. We’d bet against him being a major fantasy factor in Week 18 unless there are signs that he’s turning the corner — a full practice — on Friday.
