Bengals HC Zac Taylor said after Sunday's win over the Browns that WR Tee Higgins injured his hamstring in pregame warmups. He wasn't supposed to play at all but snuck his way onto the field for the 1st play of the game. We'll keep an eye on Higgins' status throughout this coming week, leading up to next Sunday's game against the Bucs.
Bills QB Josh Allen threw for a season-low 147 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. He went just 16 of 27 passing, with 1 TD, taking 3 sacks along the way. Allen saved his fantasy line with 1 TD and 47 yards on 10 rushing attempts. That helped him crack 20 fantasy points for just the 2nd time among his past 5 outings, by ESPN scoring. Favorable matchups with the Dolphins and Bears await the next 2 weeks.
Jets QB Mike White twice left Sunday's loss to the Bills for injury checks. He returned both times, though, to finish with 268 yards. White threw no TDs but also avoided turning the ball over. It was a predictably tough outing for the young QB, who faced weaker defenses in his 1st 2 outings. Assuming he's healthy enough, White should be in line for another start against the Lions in Week 15.
WR Elijah Moore led the Jets in targets by himself Sunday for the 1st time all season. He caught 6 of his 10 looks for 60 yards. WR Garrett Wilson ranked 3rd in targets (7) but matched Moore for the catch lead and paced the team with 78 receiving yards. TE Tyler Conklin caught 5 of 8 targets for 28 yards. WR Denzel Mims added 3-35 receiving on 5 looks. The early departure of WR Corey Davis (concussion) helped Moore's opportunities. Davis is likely to miss at least 1 more game, based on the usual return time for concussions.
Jets RB Michael Carter returned from his ankle sprain Sunday against the Bills and split the backfield pretty evenly with rookie RB Zonovan Knight. Carter led the receiving work, catching 3 of 6 targets for 15 yards. Knight drew 2 targets, catching both for 6 yards. Knight took the clear rushing lead, though, compiling 71 yards and a TD on 17 attempts. Carter rushed only 5 times for 5 yards. A similar split could put both in play for fantasy-lineup use in a Week 15 home date with the Lions. Solid matchups with Jacksonville and at Seattle sit beyond that.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce suffered an ankle injury in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He's officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.
Ravens QB Tyler Huntley left in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers for a concussion check. He's been replaced by QB Anthony Brown. Stay tuned for an update on Huntley.
Update: Huntley has been ruled out with a concussion.
Giants TE Daniel Bellinger is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Eagles with a rib injury. He took a big hit in the 1st half and was clearly struggling. We'll update on his status when we know more.
Update: Bellinger has been ruled out.
Seahawks TE Will Dissly (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He should continue splitting routes with TE Noah Fant.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report and limited on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday, but HC Pete Carroll said Friday that Metcalf was just getting some rest. It seems like Metcalf will be ready for his usual role in this one.
Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. That leaves Seattle with RBs Travis Homer, Tony Jones and Godwin Igwebuike. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Jones is expected to get the start.
Bucs RB Leonard Fournette (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He was added to the injury report and limited on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday. HC Todd Bowles never expressed much concern about Fournette’s availability for this one, but there’s still elevated risk here.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in practice all week and seems to be tracking toward a Week 15 return.
Jets DT Quinnen Williams left in the 1st half of today's game against the Bills with a left-calf injury. He's questionable to return.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins is questionable to return against the Browns with a right hamstring injury.
Update: The CBS crew reports that it's a "coach's decision" to keep Higgins on the sideline. The WR carried no injury designation heading into the game after being limited Thursday and Friday.
Bengals WR Tyler Boyd injured a finger on his right hand early in Sunday's game vs. the Browns and is questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Boyd has been ruled out.
Jets WR Corey Davis suffered a concussion in the 1st quarter of today's game against the Bills. He'll miss the rest of the game and need to pass through the league protocol before returning. His absence is good news for the playing time of WRs Denzel Mims and Elijah Moore.
Steelers QB Kenny Pickett exited in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens to be checked for a concussion. QB Mitchell Trubisky replaced him. We'll update Pickett's status when we know more.
Update: Pickett has been ruled out. This is his 2nd concussion of the season.
ESPN's Adam Schefter expects RB Tony Jones to start today's game vs. the Panthers. RBs Ken Walker and DeeJay Dallas are not expected to play, so it'll be Jones, Travis Homer and Godwin Igwebuike in the backfield. Schefter expects all 3 of those guys to play, so it's not a very attractive fantasy situation. Jones might be the favorite to lead in carries, but we're still expecting Homer to get more action on passing downs.
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is active for today's game against the Jaguars. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
