Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said Monday that RB Ken Walker's availability is uncertain for this weekend's game vs. the Packers. It's the calf more than the ankle that's an issue for Walker, who's getting more tests done. Macdonald said that the team expects to have a better idea of his status within the next 24-48 hours. We'll keep you posted. RB Zach Charbonnet again played a workhorse role with Walker out yesterday, turning 29 touches into 193 total yards and two scores.
Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said Monday that RB Bucky Irving's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers is uncertain. "We gotta see how it feels," Bowles said of Irving's back. "If we can get it loosened up, he should be okay. If not, we’ll see how the week goes." We'll track the rookie's status throughout this week, but fantasy owners should be lining up alternate plans in case Irving can't go. His absence would make RB Rachaad White a strong fantasy start.
49ers RB Isaac Guerendo is "day-to-day" with a foot sprain suffered in the Week 14 win over the Bears, HC Kyle Shahanan said Monday. Guerendo dodged a significant injury, although he remains uncertain for Thursday night's game vs. the Rams. Shanahan said Guerendo won't do much in practice on Monday or Tuesday. We'll see how he's listed on Wednesday's final injury report. For now, we would not plan on having Guerendo available in Week 15. His absence would leave Patrick Taylor as San Francisco's lead back -- and a viable Week 15 fantasy start.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a relatively minor injury, and O'Connell hasn't even been ruled out for next Monday night's game vs. the Falcons, per Rapoport. We'll track his status throughout this week. QB Desmond Ridder will start against Atlanta if O'Connell can't. It's a situation to steer clear of, even in superflex leagues. TE Brock Bowers and WR Jakobi Meyers' outlooks won't change much based on the QB.
Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks suffered another tear of his right ACL in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He suffered the same injury to the same knee last November, which delayed the start to his rookie season.
Steelers WR George Pickens reportedly has a Grade 2 Hamstring strain and will likely miss next week's game against the Eagles. Pickens missed yesterday's game against the Browns as a game-time decision, but the injury appears to be more severe than describing this week.
Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles told reporters Monday that S Antoine Winfield Jr. suffered a knee sprain in Sunday's win over the Raiders and will miss "multiple games," according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins drew a team-high 9 targets in Sunday night's win over the Chargers and snagged the team's only TD. But he trailed rookie WR Xavier Worthy in routes, receptions, and receiving yards in a modest passing performance for the team.
The Chargers went without rookie WR -- and team reception leader -- Ladd McConkey for the first time this season in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. WR Josh Palmer led the group in playing time, routes (34), targets (9), receptions (6), and receiving yards (78).
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes posted his second-lowest fantasy score of the season in Sunday night's win over the Chargers. He threw for just 210 yards and 1 TD on 24-of-37 passing (5.68 yards per pass attempt). Mahomes sits 15th among Week 14 QBs by ESPN scoring, with Monday night's game still to go.
Gus Edwards led Chargers RBs in carries (10) and rushing yards (36) and claimed the team's only rushing score in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. But rookie RB Kimani Vidal beat him in playing time. Vidal played 32 snaps to Edwards' 26, including a 17-10 edge in pass routes, according to Pro Football Focus.
Chargers TE Will Dissly suffered a shoulder injury at the end of the first half of Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He didn't play in the second half, finishing with two catches for 19 yards. Stone Smartt took over as Los Angeles' lead TE over the final 30 minutes, catching all three of his targets for 54 yards. We'll look for an update on Dissly's injury.
Bills QB Josh Allen posted a career-high 55.3 fantasy points in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. Allen accounted for six total TDs (three passing, three rushing).
Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw for 320 yards and 2 TDs on 23 of 30 passing in Sunday's win over Buffalo. His passing yardage marked the second-highest by a QB against the Bills this season. He’s also now gone four straight games without an INT.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco worked as the clear lead rusher in his second game back from a fibula fracture Sunday night. He rushed 14 times vs. five for Kareem Hunt and one for Samaje Perine. None found much success. Pacheco also led the RBs in targets but saw pass routes split more evenly.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught one of Russell Wilson's two TD passes in Sunday's win over the Browns. Freiermuth caught three total passes for 48 yards among 3 targets.
Najee Harris led the Steelers in carries and rushing yards for Sunday's win over the Browns. His 16 rushes beat Jaylen Warren by seven and Cordarrelle Patterson by 12. But Harris managed just 53 yards. His 3.3 per rush trailed Warren's 5.2. Harris did, at least, get the team's only rushing score. Harris also watched Warren control receiving work, though.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson threw for a season-low 158 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. He completed 15 of 26 attempts (57.7%), with 2 TDs and no INTs. Wilson took just 1 sack and didn't turn the ball over.
Browns WR Elijah Moore drew just 4 targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. That marked his fewest in a game since Week 6, the game before Deshaun Watson went down for the season. Moore managed 3 receptions for 34 yards, his third game among the past five with just 3 catches.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers had one of his best games of the season in today’s loss to the Dolphins, throwing for 339 yards, one TD, and 0 INTs. Sunday marked his first game over 300 yards since December 12, 2021.
