Without formal charges brought against Miller for alleged domestic violence, the league has not placed him on the commissioner’s exempt list and the Bills expect Miller to suit up this week against the Chiefs. Bills GM Brandon Beane didn’t rule out making Miller inactive against KC due to poor on-field performance. The NFL, meanwhile, continues to investigate the allegations against Miller.

Palmer was placed on injured reserve in early November with a knee sprain. Head coach Brandon Staley said Palmer, who functioned as the team’s No. 2 receiver behind Keenan Allen, would return at some point this season. It appears Palmer could be back in action over the next couple weeks, barring any setbacks. Palmer averaged 84 receiving yards per game from Week 3-7 and would be a locked-in WR3 option in 12-team fantasy leagues.

It appears the playoff-hunting Rams are done with Lucas Havrisik, who has missed two field goals and an extra point over LA’s past two games. Crosby has been vocal about returning to the NFL after the Packers parted ways with him last offseason in favor of Anders Carlson. Crosby, per Garafolo, is expected to be moved to the Rams’ active roster. Crosby should be fantasy relevant on a Rams team that leads that NFL in field goal tries (33).

In their Week 13 thumping at the hands of the 49ers, Eagles running backs logged just nine rushes, with two coming in the second half as the team chased points in an eventual blowout loss. Johnson said game script shouldn’t matter when it comes to establishing the run. “I think that’s feel and feeling how the game is going and what is needed in that certain point because, to your point, you could have seven yards on four carries and then break one for 30, and now you’ve got 37 yards on five carries or whatever it is,” Johnson said Tuesday. “Those numbers, that average looks a little bit different. Now you’re averaging seven yards a carry or whatever it is. We have to just continue to pound at it until one of those explosives pop.” Before Week 13, D’Andre Swift had five straight games with at least 15 touches. Expect him to see at least 15 touches in Week 14 against the Dallas defense.

Amos appeared in 11 games with the Jets this season before getting waived prior to Week 13. The Texans now add Amos to a solid safety room that includes Jalen Pitre and Jimmie Ward. DeMeco Ryans’ defense has been humming lately, with three picks in Week 13’s win over the Broncos. Adding Amos, a former Bear and Packer, gives the Texans depth for a playoff push.

Harris popped up on the injury report with a new knee issue on Tuesday. He was not listed with an injury on Monday, but now was listed as not practicing with a Thursday game looming in Week 14. Wednesday’s practice status will provide clarity on Harris’ health for Thursday against the Patriots, but his new knee injury is a situation to monitor. If Harris misses time, Jaylen Warren will receive a major boost for fantasy managers.

Parker was listed as limited for the second straight day with a knee injury. He was the Patriots’ leading receiver in Week 13, though his fantasy ceiling is limited with a somber quarterback situation. Fellow WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) were also limited in Tuesday’s practice. None of the Pats’ pass-catchers are confident fantasy plays against a tough Steelers defense in Week 14.

Douglas missed Week 13 with a concussion he suffered in Week 12. With a short week leading up to a Thursday matchup against the Steelers, back-to-back missed practice listings do not bode well for Douglas’ Week 14 status. He leads the Patriots in receiving yards as a rookie and if Douglas cannot play this week, DeVante Parker is slated to be the team’s primary receiver.

Although it’s unlikely, the Jaguars are holding out hope that Lawrence can give it a go in Week 14. According to Howe, Lawrence will be receiving around the clock treatment to help his high ankle sprain. It would be a miraculous comeback if Lawrence were able to suit up, but fantasy managers shouldn’t get their hopes up just yet. Stay tuned.

No word yet on what this means for Aaron Jones’ status, but for now it looks like a depth signing. Drake last played with Ravens until he was released in October of this season. If Aaron Jones misses another game, don’t be shocked to see Drake working behind AJ Dillon.
