Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson (calf) is questionable to play in his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a calf injury. Sampson missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to return to the practice field on Friday. The 21-year-old has done most of his work this season as a receiver while working as the RB2 in Cleveland behind fellow rookie
Quinshon Judkins. In his final full game before getting injured back in Week 12, Sampson recorded two catches for 59 yards and a touchdown on three targets against the Las Vegas Raiders. His matchup against the Titans in Week 14 is favorable on paper, as Tennessee currently ranks 26th among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (4.6). However, Sampson's injury and workload uncertainty should lead to him being off fantasy radars in Week 14.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable heading into Week 14 with a hamstring injury. Weaver was a limited participant in Thursday's practice but was unable to practice on Friday. If he can play Sunday, Weaver could be in for an expanded role in a pass-heavy offense with Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) being ruled out for Week 14. The 25-year-old was one of Coach Deion Sanders' early transfers at Colorado and showed flashes of playmaking ability in 2023. Despite leading Colorado in receiving yards that year, Weaver went undrafted and has found a role with the Cardinals. So far this season, Weaver hasn't been a factor on offense and has only seen eight targets. He will face a stout Los Angeles Rams defense in Week 14 that has allowed the ninth-fewest passing touchdowns this season. In an offense with plenty of targets to go around, Weaver could be worth a dart throw in deeper leagues in Week 14.--Wyatt McClintockSource: Zach Gershman

The Baltimore Ravens D/ST had a rough go of things in Week 13 when
Joe Burrow returned to the field and put up 32 points against them. While they did force one turnover, it was difficult to overcome their own offense coughing the ball up five times. In Week 14, they go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers who are ranked 26th against opposing fantasy defenses over the last four weeks.
Aaron Rodgers has had some injury issues, and their offense ranks right in the middle of the pack in points per game (23.4). This makes the Ravens D/ST a solid streaming option as the projected D/ST12 in RotoBaller's rankings.

Across 11 games this season, Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins has recorded 758 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 196 carries. While the 22-year-old hasn't always been particularly efficient as a rusher this season, the Browns continue to lean on him in the run game. Over his last four outings, Judkins is averaging 19.5 carries per contest. Judkins also recorded three catches for 18 yards in Week 13. With primary Browns receiving back
Dylan Sampson (calf) questionable to play in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, Judkins could see more work in the passing game. Tennessee currently ranks 26th among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (4.6) and is tied for 29th in rushing touchdowns allowed (17). Judkins should see a heavy workload on Sunday and profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 14.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier continued his improbable run of scoring a touchdown on limited production last week, rushing just eight times for 20 yards (2.5 yards per carry), but found the end zone for the eighth time this season. His eight touchdowns are a team-high total, and he'll get a chance to keep it rolling in Week 14 against the Seahawks. It will be tough sledding, though, against a Seattle defense that has yielded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, which is a result of an 88.8 opponent rush yards per game average and 3.8 yards per attempt, both the second-lowest marks in the league. Still, Allgeier has managed to defy the odds to this point given his modest output, so he's as good a dice roll as any out there for fantasy managers in need of an RB3/Flex play this week.

Baltimore Ravens kicker
Tyler Loop unfortunately didn't deliver for fantasy managers in Week 13. The Ravens' offense could only muster up 14 points against one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop didn't attempt any field goals, but made both of his extra points. In Week 14, they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers who allow 9.08 fantasy points per game to kickers this season. The Steelers passing defense hasn't been great, but the Ravens need to be more reliable getting the ball into field goal range. For Week 14, Loop is projected as the K8 in RotoBaller's rankings, which makes him a solid play in most leagues.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders will make his third NFL start in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old has struggled across three games (two starts) worth of action so far this season, completing 50.8% of his pass attempts for 405 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. On paper, Sanders has a favorable matchup in Week 14 against Tennessee. Entering the week, the Titans rank 31st among NFL defenses in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). Still, Sanders is currently averaging just 6.6 yards per pass attempt and has yet to throw more than 25 passes in a game this season. Cleveland could look to lean on its defense and run game to get the win against Tennessee. At best, Sanders profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 14 against the Titans.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Keaton Mitchell reached double-digit fantasy points for the first time this season against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He even finished as the RB27 in half-PPR formats, while getting a 13% snap share. Since
Justice Hill (neck) remains sidelined, Mitchell has taken over the pass-catching work out of the backfield. He saw three targets and two carries in their previous game, but is still very far behind
Derrick Henry. The Pittsburgh Steelers also present a very tough matchup against opposing run games, so Mitchell is projected as the RB42 on RotoBaller's rankings.

The Indianapolis Colts defense has been a solid unit for most of the season, ranking 10th in points allowed per game (20.8) and 21st in yards allowed (344.5). They're stout up front, with the sixth most sacks (35) and seventh fewest rushing yards per game (98.3), but have been vulnerable in the secondary, and even more so with star cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) sidelined. However, there could be significant rain and wind on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which could benefit them. Trevor Lawrence has played well on a down-to-down basis since their Week 8 bye, ranking third among all quarterbacks in dropback success rate (52.1%). However, he remains one of the most turnover-prone quarterbacks in the league. With potential heavy wind and rain in the forecast, the Colts' defense could be in a good spot to generate a few takeaways—the Colts rank as RotoBaller's 17th defense for Week 14.--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that "it wouldn't surprise a lot of league executives if the Cardinals decide to move on" from quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) after the 2025 season. Murray has not played since Week 5 due to a foot injury, and reportedly will not return this season. The 28-year-old struggled across five starts, completing 68.3% of his pass attempts for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. He has roughly $37 million in fully guaranteed money remaining on his current contract, but Russini reports that the Cardinals could "try to trade him or simply release him." In the midst of a disastrous 2025 season, it appears Arizona is looking to hit the reset button heading into 2026. There will almost certainly be interest from quarterback-needy teams in Murray in the offseason, but his contract could be a complicating factor in trade negotiations.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
DeAndre Hopkins registered his best fantasy performance in half-PPR leagues since Week 5. The problem is that he only had four fantasy points in that game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which extends his streak of games with less than 10 fantasy points to 10 games. Despite the fact that he draws a favorable matchup in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hopkins is more of a dart throw option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. In RotoBaller's rankings, Hopkins is projected as the WR72, so there should be better options on the waiver wire in standard-sized leagues.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that "people I spoke to on the Chargers are expecting" quarterback
Justin Herbert (hand) to play in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Herbert suffered a metacarpal fracture in his left hand during his team's Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and had surgery this past Monday. He's been limited in practice this week, but it sounds as though he will try to give it a go against Philadelphia on Monday night. The 27-year-old has completed 66.9% of his passes for 2,842 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across 12 starts so far this season. If Herbert suffers a setback and is unable to go,
Trey Lance would take over under center for Los Angeles. If active, Herbert profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 in Week 14.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Rashod Bateman popped up as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but has since registered a full practice on Friday and is good to go against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he'll be suiting up, his consistency hasn't been conducive to deploying him into fantasy lineups very often. He's only finished in WR3 territory or better twice, and he hasn't received more than two targets since Week 9 or more than two receptions since Week 3. The Steelers have given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, which gives Bateman a bit more value, but he's still projected as the WR70 on RotoBaller's rankings in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is once again a solid fantasy RB option in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts. Jacksonville's passing offense dominated last week against the Tennessee Titans, but this week's matchup with massive playoff implications for the rest of the season should be a much closer affair. Etienne Jr. is coming off his least efficient performance of the season, putting up just 28 yards on 12 attempts, and also had a touchdown vultured by Bhayshul Tuten. Tuten is the main reason Etienne's upside is limited, but his usually consistent floor has kept him fantasy relevant. Etienne will look to bounce back and is ranked 16th among all running backs in a plus matchup versus the Titans in Week 14.--Seth Quinn - RotoBallerSource: Travis Etienne Jr. RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts running back Ameer Abdullah has filled the backup role to Jonathan Taylor this season. After recording at least one touch in the first six games he was active, the veteran running back has now gone back-to-back games without a touch. The 32-year-old running back has totaled eight carries for 40 yards and a touchdown, along with five receptions for 30 yards on six targets in eight games this season. Abdullah is unlikely to play a significant role in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he remains a decent handcuff to Taylor.--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
