Bills LB Matt Milano (knee) is active for today's game against the Jets. He managed only a single limited practice this week, though, and carries risk in IDP lineups.
Vikings S Harrison Smith (neck) is inactive for today's game against the Lions.
Lions CB Jeff Okudah (illness) is active for today's game against the Vikings. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
Ravens LB Patrick Queen (thigh) is active for today's game against the Steelers. Play him as planned in your IDP lineups.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (neck) is active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. He was listed as questionable and reportedly a game-time decision, but we haven’t heard anything about his workload being limited today. Barkley certainly carries elevated risk in Week 14 fantasy lineups, but you’d need to be loaded at RB to bench him. See where Barkley sits in the Week 14 RB Rankings.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Steelers. It sounds like Week 16 is most likely when we’ll see Jackson again. QB Tyler Huntley gets the start today.
Jaguars S Andre Cisco (shoulder) is inactive for today's game against the Titans. Andrew Wingard played every snap in Cisco's place last week and figures to be in the lineup again.
Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. Cooper injured his hip on Thursday and then wasn't able to practice on Friday. NFL Network’s James Palmer reports that “there could be a pitch count in place” for Cooper today. He’s a risky fantasy play.
Jaguars WR Zay Jones (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He played through this issue last week and shouldn’t be limited today.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume that Lawrence won’t be at 100% for this one.
Jets RB James Robinson is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Bills. RB Michael Carter is back and will join Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson in New York's backfield.
Giants HC Brian Daboll told NFL Network's Mike Garofolo that RB Saquon Barkley (neck) will play against the Eagles today. The neck issue adds risk to Barkley's Week 14 fantasy profile, but we've heard nothing to suggest that it'll impact his workload today.
ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that RB Saquon Barkley (neck) is "legit 50/50" to play vs. the Eagles today. The Giants "want to see how he feels Sunday in pre-game warmups before deciding whether he will play." We'll get New York's inactives around 11:30 am ET. If Barkley sits, the Giants will be down to RBs Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers EDGE Nick Bosa (hamstring) "will play" today vs. the Buccaneers. That's significant for both IDP lineups and the 49ers' team defense. Bosa did sit out of practice all week, but he's still worth betting on for your fantasy football lineup. We've seen him effectively play through hamstring injuries before.
Although the Ravens are hoping to get QB Lamar Jackson back for Week 15, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that his "most realistic return date" will be in Week 16 against the Falcons. He adds that there's also "a strong chance" the QB will not get back to full strength again this season because of his PCL sprain. That means a lot of fantasy football managers should be looking elsewhere for a starting QB the rest of the way, even if/when Jackson makes it back. He currently sits just 10th in points per game in common formats, with big totals in weeks 2 and 3 inflating even that. Outside of those contests, Jackson's scoring average for healthy games would rank just 14th at the position.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III is not expected to play today against the Panthers. That's more pessimistic than other Saturday reports calling Walker 50/50, but the rookie missed practice all week because of the ankle he injured last week. Don't bet on him being available for your fantasy football lineups this week. With DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also expected to sit, Travis Homer becomes an RB3-level option. We've had him projected as the starter since Tuesday in our Week 14 fantasy football rankings.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette (foot) is expected to play today against the 49ers. Expect another backfield split between Fournette and Rachaad White.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf "will play" today against the Panthers. Officially questionable with a hip issue, Metcalf should be in fantasy football lineups.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) "has a good chance to play" Sunday against the Bengals. That agrees with Cooper's stated expectation earlier in the week. We'll confirm his status Sunday morning.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Seahawks RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is viewed as a "long shot" to play Sunday against the Panthers. He adds that RB Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is still "considered 50/50." We'll watch the status of both players Sunday, but plan as though Walker won't be available for your fantasy football lineups. Even if he turns up active, Walker is bound to carry escalated risk.
