Saquon Barkley Injury Update
Barkley (neck) was limited in practice for two consecutive days to close out the week. The Giants have officially labeled him as questionable for this week's game against the Eagles, but his availability will likely depend on how much pain he is in come Sunday. At this rate, he's trending in the right direction.
Christian McCaffrey Injury Update
McCaffrey (knee) upgraded to a full participant on Friday and has been removed from the injury report. He'll be active Sunday, ranking as an RB1 given his prominent role in the 49ers' offense.
Kenneth Walker III Injury Update
Walker (ankle) was unable to practice at all this week, but he is listed as questionable. This means that the Seahawks are holding out hope he'll have made significant progress by kickoff on Sunday. If active, he would rank as a high-end RB2. If inactive, the backfield will belong to DeeJay Dallas (ankle) and Travis Homer (knee, illness).
Joe Mixon Injury Update
Mixon (head) cleared concussion protocol this week and will return to his role as the lead back in Cincinnati's offense. Samaje Perine should remain involved, but have no doubt: the backfield belongs to Mixon. He ranks as a fringe RB1 in fantasy football this week.
Najee Harris Injury Update
Harris (oblique) upgraded to a full participant on Friday and will play in Week 14. He has looked solid over his last four games and ranks as a low-end RB2 for the time being.
D'Onta Foreman Injury Update
Foreman (foot) made progress in every practice this week, capping things off with a full session on Friday. He'll remain the Panthers' lead back and ranks as an RB2 in Week 14.
Leonard Fournette Injury Update
Fournette (foot) missed practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable heading into Week 14 versus the 49ers. If he can't play, Rachaad White would lead the Buccaneers' backfield, ranking as an RB2 in fantasy football.
DeeJay Dallas Injury Update
Dallas (ankle) missed practice all week long and is officially listed as questionable for Week 14. Both Dallas and Walker (ankle) are expected to be game-time decisions. If they're inactive, Travis Homer would jump up to the RB3 tier.
Mark Ingram II Injury Update
Ingram (knee) tore his ACL and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Since the Saints are on track to miss the playoffs, it appears that Ingram's season is over. Dwayne Washington and Taysom Hill will handle touches here and there behind workhorse Alvin Kamara.
Damien Harris Injury Update
Harris (thigh) didn't practice on Friday. At this point, it is looking more and more likely that he misses Monday Night Football. If so, Kevin Harris and Pierre Strong Jr. would back up Rhamondre Stevenson.
Craig Reynolds Injury Update
Reynolds (ribs) has been designated to return from IR, meaning he now has 21 days to practice before being activated. It looks unlikely that Reynolds will play in Week 14, but he's certainly making progress ahead of a potential late-season return.
Ty Chandler Injury Update
Chandler (thumb), who only played on special teams before injuring himself in Week 5, was officially designated to return from IR this past week. He'll likely continue to operate as a full-time special teamer.
Hassan Haskins Injury Update
Hassan Haskins (hip) is officially listed as questionable to play against the Jaguars in Week 13. He was limited in practice on Friday. Even if active, he can be left on waivers in fantasy football.
