Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Bhayshul Tuten experienced a breakout performance during the Week 11 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back rushed 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown during the victory. Outside of that, Tuten has been held to under 45 rushing yards in every other game. He remains the No. 2 option with
Travis Etienne Jr. leading the way. The 23-year-old is set to back up Etienne once again in Sunday's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Most weeks, Tuten doesn't even see 30 percent of the offensive snaps. However, the forecast for Jacksonville calls for heavy rain, so Tuten could see more opportunities as the Jaguars might lean on the run more with inclement weather. Tuten hasn't been consistent enough to trust yet and is a low-end flex option in Week 14.

Seattle Seahawks running back
Kenneth Walker III has been able to rank as an RB2 in fantasy football despite sharing touches with
Zach Charbonnet, and that trend should continue in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. Walker has been impressive lately, tallying double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last three games. During that three-week span, he has 40 carries, 194 rushing yards, nine catches, 92 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He has consistently played around 55% to 60% of the offensive snaps, leaving roughly 10 touches and a snap share around 40% for Charbonnet. The two have shown that they can co-exist, with Walker still being the preferred option out of the backfield. This week, he can be a strong RB2 option against a Falcons defense that has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. Walker ranks as the overall RB18 in RotoBaller's latest rankings for Week 14. He should be started with confidence in most leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) has been activated from injured reserve and will play in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, instantly putting him back on the fantasy radar for the final stretch of the 2025 season. Reed has been sidelined since Week 2, when he only played a handful of snaps before getting injured. His performance in the season opener was impressive, as he caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. The biggest obstacle between Reed and a fantasy-relevant role is
Christian Watson, who has 13 catches, 175 yards, and two touchdowns over his last three games. Aside from Watson, though, players like
Romeo Doubs,
Matthew Golden, and
Dontayvion Wicks don't pose a major threat of competition to Reed. In his first game back, he'll get a juicy matchup against the Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and third-most receiving touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025. Reed could be deployed as a low-end WR3/flex in most fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
DJ Moore continues to be an inconsistent fantasy football option. He ranks as the overall WR37 in PPR leagues so far, failing to establish himself as a truly reliable fantasy receiver despite previous optimism that he would be the Bears' top receiver in 2025 and beyond. The 28-year-old had a 64-yard, two-touchdown performance a couple of weeks ago, but aside from that big game, he has been a significant disappointment. With that said, his volume will theoretically increase this week with
Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined. Moore and
Luther Burden III will operate as
Caleb Williams' top targets when the Bears aren't running the football. This week's matchup against Green Bay isn't great, but the Packers most recently surrendered 309 passing yards to Detroit. Moore could still capitalize on this matchup and Odunze's absence, and thus he should be started as a WR3/flex. RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings have Moore listed as the WR34.

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) did not practice on Saturday, and he has been ruled out ahead of Monday's Week 14 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson has allowed seven hurries and zero sacks in 2025, serving as a key protector for
Jalen Hurts,
Saquon Barkley, and the entire Eagles offense. Week 14 is the first time he has completely missed a game this year, leaving Fred Johnson in line to step up as Philadelphia's starting right tackle.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Xavier Weaver (hamstring) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's home matchup with their division-rival Los Angeles Rams. The second-year pro was a midweek addition to Arizona's practice report, with his status declining from a limited session on Thursday to a DNP on Friday. Now, labeled questionable, Weaver doesn't appear to be in line to suit up against the visiting Rams. With the news, Arizona's WR corps is alarmingly depleted, considering teammates
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) and
Greg Dortch (chest) have already been ruled out for the contest. As it stands,
Michael Wilson,
Trent Sherfield Sr.,
Andre Baccellia, and
Jalen Brooks are the only active wideouts without a designation heading into this weekend's bout.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman Maxx Crosby (knee) is anticipated to be active for Sunday's home tilt with the Denver Broncos, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Crosby appeared on the Raiders' injury report ahead of their Week 12 loss to the Browns, but hadn't really seen his snap share suffer because of it. However, it's worth noting that he'd miss practice twice this week -- and garner a questionable tag -- as they prep for an outing with Denver. Currently, it appears he'll try to gut it out and play, which is excellent news for Las Vegas, as the 28-year-old's eight sacks are more than the following two team leaders combined. If, for some reason, Crosby can't suit up, teammates Tyree Wilson and Charles Snowden would see an uptick in snaps behind Malcom Koonce on the defense's edge.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington (hip) will be inactive for Sunday's game with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the news. The 23-year-old was forced from Week 13's 25-3 win over the Titans with a hip injury, causing him to miss Wednesday's practice and log only limited sessions over the ensuing two days. Despite being deemed questionable, it appears Jacksonville will be without its top statistical pass-catcher. While Washington is shelved, teammates
Brian Thomas Jr. and
Jakobi Meyers figure to lead the team's WR corps, with the former likely to be near a full snap share as he's further removed from an ankle injury.
Austin Trammell and
Tim Patrick will mix in behind them.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the New Orleans Saints expect to have wide receiver
Chris Olave (back) for Sunday's divisional clash with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave popped up on the Saints' practice report last week with back spasms, but would ultimately play his usual allotment of snaps in their loss to Miami despite two limited practices and a DNP. He'd follow a similar regimen at practice this week, and it seems he'll play through the issue again. Fellow wideout
Devaughn Vele has come on recently as a decent secondary option. However, Olave should see substantial utilization, particularly with running back
Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) set to miss another contest. He's a solid WR2 if not held back by his injury.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Ty Chandler (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Chandler's 21-day practice window was opened this past Wednesday, but his return will wait at least another week. The 27-year-old suffered a knee injury during Minnesota's Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears and has been on Injured Reserve ever since. The 2022 fifth-round pick would serve as a quality depth option behind top running backs
Aaron Jones Sr. and
Jordan Mason upon returning, while contributing primarily as a return man on special teams. Chandler will look to be activated for the Vikings' Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. He can be left on the waiver wire in the majority of redraft fantasy football leagues at this time.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch (chest) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday with a chest injury that he suffered in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dortch's season has likely come to an end with this move, but he'll technically be eligible to return for the regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old recorded 29 receptions for 206 yards and three touchdowns on 33 targets, along with seven carries for 15 yards and another score on the ground in 12 games this season. Arizona is dealing with multiple injuries at the wide receiver position, with
Zay Jones (Achilles) already on Injured Reserve, and
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) ruled out for Week 14's divisional matchup against the Rams.
Michael Wilson and tight end
Trey McBride will be expected to lead the passing attack on Sunday, with
Trent Sherfield Sr. mixing in after being elevated from the practice squad. If active,
Xavier Weaver (hamstring) could operate as the team's WR2 behind Wilson.

The Pittsburgh Steelers elevated wide receiver
Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to the team's official website. Valdes-Scantling signed with the Seattle Seahawks during the offseason but was released before the season began. The veteran was picked up by the San Francisco 49ers, where he played five games and recorded four receptions for 40 yards on eight targets before being waived again. He then signed to Pittsburgh's practice squad on Nov. 4 and is now set to make his team debut in Week 14's divisional matchup against the Ravens. The Steelers have been searching for playmakers at wide receiver all season to complement
DK Metcalf, and recently signed veteran
Adam Thielen to the practice squad. Valdes-Scantling should have the opportunity for playing time this weekend, but he is most likely to disappoint in his first game with Pittsburgh as a boom/bust deep threat.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after being limited in practice this week. Kincaid has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 10 versus the Miami Dolphins. The 2023 first-round pick has been excellent in limited action this season, hauling in 29 of his 33 targets for 448 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. The 26-year-old tight end is set up with a dream matchup for his potential Week 14 return against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has been horrendous against opposing tight ends this season, allowing by far the most PPR points per game, in addition to 13 touchdowns -- five more than the next closest team. It seems like Kincaid will be a game-time decision on Sunday. He's been the Bills' most reliable pass-catcher when active and would profile as a strong TE1 if he can play on Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns are planning to keep quarterback
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) on their roster next season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. While Watson is considered unlikely to play this season as he continues to recover from a torn Achilles that required multiple surgeries, the team has expressed interest in keeping him on the roster, noting that the 30-year-old's veteran presence is valuable for their pair of rookie quarterbacks in
Shedeur Sanders and
Dillon Gabriel. Another big reason Watson is expected to return is due to the fact that the Browns would have to take on a dead salary of close to $135 million if they released him before June 1 and a $53 million cap charge if he was designated as a post-June 1 cap casualty. The record for dead-cap money was set by the Denver Broncos with quarterback
Russell Wilson at $85 million, which they split into two years, but releasing Watson would cost the Browns significantly more. With Watson set to return in 2026, he's expected to compete with Sanders and Gabriel for Cleveland's starting gig.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman returned in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after serving as a healthy inactive the past two games due to disciplinary reasons. Coleman hauled in two of his three targets for nine yards and his fourth touchdown of the season. The second-year wideout hasn't taken the step forward as the team's WR1 as many had hoped, recording 34 receptions for 339 yards and four touchdowns on 52 targets in 10 games. Since his monster Week 1 performance when he collected eight receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown on a season-high 11 targets, he's been held below 50 yards in every game. Coleman has some momentum heading into Week 14 against the Bengals after scoring in back-to-back games, but he isn't a trustworthy fantasy option in 12-team leagues at this stage of the season.
