Nick Bolton

KC Linebacker #32

Chiefs activated LB Nick Bolton from injured reserve.

Bolton’s 21-day return window was opened 10 days ago, and now the Chiefs’ starting linebacker is ready to make his return. Bolton landed on injured reserve after suffering a wrist injury in the team’s Week 7 win over the Chargers and had missed three games earlier in the season due to an ankle injury. Through four games, Bolton has totaled 15 tackles and one interception. He’ll be ready to go for Week 14 against the Bills in a pivotal AFC matchup. In a corresponding move, the Chiefs placed safety Bryan Cook on injured reserve.
Mason Crosby

LAR Kicker #3

Rams elevated K Mason Crosby to the active roster for Week 14 against the Ravens.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Crosby is preparing to play in Sunday’s game against the Ravens. The veteran kicker was signed to the Rams’ practice squad earlier this week after Lucas Havrisik missed two field goals and an extra point in the team’s last two games. As long as he’s nailing kicks, Crosby should have a chance to win the starting kicker job for the Rams for the remainder of the season. He converted on 25-of-29 field goals with the Packers last season, with three of his misses coming on attempts from 50-plus yards.
Dexter Lawrence

NYG Defensive Lineman #97

Giants HC Brian Daboll said Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) will be questionable for Week 14 against the Packers.

Lawrence has practiced in a limited capacity in each of the Giants’ first two practices and will presumably be limited again on Saturday. Daboll is reportedly “hopeful” that his veteran defensive tackle will be able to go, which is a good sign heading into the weekend. Lawerence has totaled 41 tackles and four sacks in 11 games for the Giants this season and is one of the few bright spots for a team stuck in a down year.
Daniel Bellinger

NYG Tight End #82

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (illness) is questionable for Week 14 against the Packers.

According to head coach Brian Daboll, Bellinger won’t practice on Saturday, which will make it two straight DNPs for the tight end to close out the week. It’d be surprising if his illness hung around long enough to keep him out of Monday’s contest, but anything is possible. Bellinger won’t be on the fantasy radar even if he does suit up, as he has just 13 receptions for 145 scoreless yards on the season. There are almost certainly better streaming options available on your waiver wire.
Ka'imi Fairbairn

HOU Kicker #15

Texans beat writer Aaron Wilson reports Ka’imi Fairbairn “needed another week on IR” and won’t play in Week 14 against the Jets.

According to Wilson, Fairbairn is fairing well in his recovery from a strained quad; he’s just not quite ready to go this week. The team won’t be activating him from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jets and has instead elevated Matt Ammendola from the practice squad. Ammendola is 6-of-9 on field goal attempts this season and made all three of his attempts in last week’s win over the Broncos.
Trevor Lawrence

JAX Quarterback #16

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Jaguars have signed QB Nathan Rourke to the active roster.

The news of Rourke being signed to the active roster means more for Trevor Lawrence and his fantasy managers than it does for Rourke. While it’s too early to say whether or not Lawrence will suit up in Week 14 against the Browns, teams tend to add an extra quarterback to the roster in anticipation of a player not playing. Head coach Doug Pederson said on Friday that Lawerence would “probably” be a game-time decision, so the signing of Rourke could be nothing more than the Jags doing their due diligence to prepare for anything. If we don’t hear any update on Lawrence Saturday, we’ll likely be waiting until the team releases their inactives to have clarity on his Week 14 status.
Rashid Shaheed

NO Wide Receiver #22

Saints beat writer Nick Underhill reports Rashid Shaheed’s quad injury is “more serious than initially believed” and he will not play in Week 14 against the Panthers.

According to Underhill, the initial belief was that Shaheed suffered a contusion to his quad, but “a second opinion showed it is more serious.” We don’t know how much more serious the injury is, but it’s going to sideline Shaheed for at least one more week, and it’s not unrealistic to think it could extend beyond that. Shaheed has caught 33 passes for 534 yards and three touchdowns this season and is third among Saints receivers in targets (55). With Shaheed and Michael Thomas (knee) both out this week, we will be looking at another busy day for Chris Olave (illness, questionable) if he’s able to play.
T.J. Watt

PIT Linebacker #90

Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt entered concussion protocol.

According to Burt Lauten, the Steelers’ Senior Director of Communications, Watt came in with concussion symptoms on Friday morning and was later placed in protocol. Having already played on Thursday night against the Patriots, Watt will have eight days to clear protocol before facing the Colts in Week 15 on a Saturday matchup. It’s a few more days than a player would have in a normal week, so it’s possible Watt clears protocol in time to play, but his status will be one to watch throughout the week.
Ty Montgomery II

FA Running Back #14

Patriots waived WR/RB Ty Montgomery.

The Pats cut Montgomery to make room for linebacker Christian Elliss. They claimed Elliss off waivers after the Eagles cut him earlier this week. Montgomery got a few snaps at backup running back over the past few weeks. That role will now fall to JaMychal Hasty. Given Montgomery’s specials teams utility, he should be able to find a new team or at least a practice squad soon.
Alex Highsmith

PIT EDGE #56

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Steelers EDGE Alex Highsmith is in the league’s concussion protocol.

Highsmith left the Steelers’ Week 14 game on Thursday with a neck injury and was later ruled out. He will now need to pass through the league’s concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 15. Few players have suffered a concussion and played in the following week, but Pittsburgh gets a mini-bye after playing on Thursday, giving Highsmith a decent chance at playing against the Colts. Highsmith has six sacks and seven TFLs this season.
