Charlotte Hornets guard
Collin Sexton (thigh) exited Wednesday's loss to the New York Knicks. He did not return. With
LaMelo Ball (wrist) available, Sexton came off the bench. Unfortunately, he ended up logging only nine minutes before suffering a thigh injury, finishing with four points. The 26-year-old has shuffled between the starting lineup and reserve roles throughout the 2025 campaign. However, no matter his role, he's still played well enough to be considered an every day fantasy option in all formats despite not doing much outside of his contributions on the scoring end. Charlotte won't play again until Friday in Toronto. If Sexton doesn't suit up, there are several directions head coach Charles Lee may go with the rotation, with
Liam McNeeley and
Tidjane Salaun the favorites to see more work. There's also a chance
KJ Simpson gets the bump up from the G League.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. St. Brown suffered a low ankle sprain in Detroit's Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was a non-participant in practice this week as a result. However, with the Lions' season basically hanging in the balance, it's possible St. Brown may try to give it a go against Dallas. It's unlikely that the 26-year-old would be at full strength, but St. Brown would be hard for fantasy managers to move away from if he's active. Across 12 games this season, he's recorded 75 catches for 884 yards and nine touchdowns on 108 targets. Heading into Week 13, St. Brown had earned double-digit targets in five out of his last six outings. If active, St. Brown remains a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 14.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Chimere Dike (quad) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday as the Titans prepare to face the Cleveland Browns. Dike played his normal snap share in Week 13, so his being limited in practice indicates it's due to rest and not actual injury. While the fourth-round pick has been a contributing factor in the receiving game, he has really been special as a return man in 2025. Dike currently leads the NFL in kick return yards (1282), punt return yards (361), and touchdowns (2). With the season-ending injury to receiver
Calvin Ridley, Dike has played 79% and 76% of the snaps in the past two weeks. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will be key in determining Dike's status, but he's looking likely to play against the Browns.

Across 12 games this season, Detroit Lions kicker
Jake Bates has connected on 16 of 20 field goal attempts and converted a league-leading 40 extra-point tries. The 26-year-old has also done some of his best work in recent weeks, knocking in all seven of his field goal attempts over his last four games. In Week 14, Bates and the Lions will host the Dallas Cowboys in a game that appears to have shootout potential. Through 13 weeks, both Detroit and Dallas rank in the top five in points per game among all NFL teams. If both offenses hold to form, there could be plenty of opportunities for Bates to put points on the board. The game will also be played indoors at Detroit's Ford Field, which removes any potential weather concerns. Bates profiles as a must-start fantasy kicker in Week 14.

December 3, 2025
Seattle Seahawks tight end
A.J. Barner (knee/shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Barner was a full-go in Week 13's dominant victory over the Minnesota Vikings, so his reason for being a limited participant on Wednesday indicates it was likely due to rest. The second-year tight end has been a major part of the Seahawks' passing attack, totaling 372 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games. After the selection of
Elijah Arroyo, fantasy managers speculated that he would take over as the team's TE1. However, Barner has been too good to overtake in the rotation, playing 79% of the snaps this season. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will determine whether or not he plays in Week 14, when the Seahawks face the Atlanta Falcons.

Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't return to Wednesday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. He was listed on the injury report but was able to suit up. However, on a day when it was reported that the multi-time MVP was contemplating his future with the franchise, he exited after only three minutes due to a right calf strain. The Bucks don't play again until Friday versus the visiting Philadelphia 76ers. Considering Antetokounmpo recently missed four games because of a groin strain, it's certainly possible he might be looking at more time off the floor. If that happens,
Bobby Portis, averaging 18.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in two starts this season, could work his way back into the starting lineup, with
Ryan Rollins and
Kevin Porter Jr. anticipated to do most of the heavy lifting offensively.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Milwaukee Bucks
December 3, 2025
Detroit Lions wide receiver
Tom Kennedy has spent most of the 2025 season buried on the Lions' practice squad. However, he was pressed into action in Week 13 due to injuries to Lions wideouts
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and
Kalif Raymond (ankle) and recorded four catches for 36 yards on four targets against the Green Bay Packers. With Raymond ruled out and St. Brown officially questionable for Detroit's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, Kennedy could spend another week as the team's primary slot receiver. Dallas represents a favorable matchup for opposing passing games on paper, as they currently rank last in the NFL in both passing yards (3,234) and passing touchdowns (28) allowed. Kennedy's production upside is limited, and it's also likely entirely dependent on St. Brown's status. If St. Brown is active, Kennedy should fall off the radar of fantasy managers. However, if St. Brown is ruled out, Kennedy could be a desperation deep-league flex option in Week 14.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh stated that running back
Kimani Vidal has played like a No. 1 back this season. Harbaugh stated that "the proof is in the pudding" and "it warms the cockles of the heart. "After the injury to
Omarion Hampton (ankle) that knocked him out for the past eight weeks, Vidal has stepped up and anchored the Chargers' rushing attack. Since Week 6, Vidal ranks 11th in the NFL in rushing yards and rushing attempts, and has averaged 13.5 PPR points per game. He was a huge part of why they were able to defeat the Raiders in Week 13, totaling 137 yards and a touchdown on 26 total attempts. With Hampton set to return in Week 14 when the Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles, Vidal will still be a part of the rotation, but will lose the majority of his fantasy value with the rookie back.

December 3, 2025
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa recorded two catches for 35 yards and his third touchdown grab of the season in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. TeSlaa has struggled to earn a consistent role in the Lions' offense for most of the year, but his playing time spiked against Green Bay after injuries to Lions wideouts
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and
Kalif Raymond (ankle). Raymond will remain sidelined for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, while St. Brown is officially listed as questionable. Particularly if St. Brown is out, TeSlaa should see another game with a heavy snap share against Dallas. Additionally, the Cowboys profile as a favorable matchup on paper. Through 13 weeks, Dallas currently ranks last in the NFL in both passing yards (3,234) and passing touchdowns (28) allowed. Pending St. Brown's final injury status, TeSlaa could be a deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

December 3, 2025
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Golden has only been able to play in one of the last four games due to shoulder and wrist injuries. The rookie wideout hasn't been able to practice in full over the last two weeks. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his availability in practice over the next two days. When healthy, Golden has been disappointing with 24 receptions for 286 receiving yards in his first nine NFL games. There should be better streaming options available in most 12-team fantasy football formats ahead of Week 14. At best, Golden is a low-end flex option in deep leagues for the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears. The likelihood of Golden making a fantasy impact down the stretch is only going to get tougher once
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) returns from Injured Reserve, possibly this weekend.
--Andy WebbSource: Rob Demovsky
December 3, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was a limited participant in practice during Wednesday's session. Wicks appears to have suffered a minor ankle injury during his epic Thanksgiving Day performance. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Detroit Lions. Wicks has been basically a non-factor all season long outside his big performance last week. Especially with
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) getting close to returning from Injured Reserve, Wicks' Week 13 performance could very well end up being an outlier in 2025. Rookie
Matthew Golden (wrist) returning will also negatively impact Wicks' target share down the stretch. Despite last week's standout performance, Wicks should be considered a boom/bust WR4/flex for fantasy managers.
--Andy WebbSource: Rob Demovsky
December 3, 2025
Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams had one of the most productive games of his career in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers, recording seven catches for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. After Lions wideout
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) went down early in the game with an ankle injury, Williams stepped up as the team's WR1. St. Brown is officially listed as questionable for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, but he was a non-participant in practice all week. Even if St. Brown can play, he'll likely be somewhat limited, and the Lions will still be without star tight end
Sam LaPorta (back) and depth wideout
Kalif Raymond (ankle). All things considered, there's a solid chance that Williams will be the go-to target once again for Lions quarterback
Jared Goff against the Cowboys. On paper, Dallas is a favorable matchup, as they currently rank last in the NFL in both passing yards (3,234) and passing touchdowns (28) allowed. Williams profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 14.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
December 3, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Reed has been listed as a limited participant in every practice since having his practice window opened on Nov. 21. The 25-year-old still needs to receive medical clearance in order to be activated from Injured Reserve. He has been sidelined since breaking his collarbone back in Week 2. Reed is also recovering from surgery to fix a broken bone in his foot. If he's activated from IR and active this weekend, Reed would most likely see limited snaps against the Chicago Bears. He's worth a stash for fantasy managers willing to hold him on the bench until he's back to full health.
--Andy WebbSource: Rob Demovsky
December 3, 2025
Detroit Lions running back
David Montgomery recorded 48 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in Week 13, breaking his three-game scoreless streak. However, Montgomery earned just eight carries, marking the third straight game in which he's failed to reach double-digit rush attempts. In Week 14, Montgomery will square off against a Dallas Cowboys defense that has been playing much better against the run in recent weeks. Over their last three games, the Cowboys have allowed an average of just 69 rushing yards per contest. With the Lions leaning heavily on star running back
Jahmyr Gibbs, Montgomery has played fewer than 39% of Detroit's offensive snaps in four of his last five games. As long as that workload split persists, Montgomery profiles as a touchdown-dependent flex option for fantasy managers.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
December 3, 2025
Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Jacobs sat out the Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings with a knee contusion, but he returned last week for the Thanksgiving Day win against the Detroit Lions. It appears Jacobs is still dealing with lingering effects from his knee injury. He looked solid in Week 13, when he rushed for 83 yards on 17 attempts against Detroit. Jacobs being limited to begin the week is likely just the team being overly cautious. The 27-year-old should be viewed as a high-end RB1 for the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 14.
--Andy WebbSource: Rob Demovsky
December 3, 2025
Detroit Lions running back
Jahmyr Gibbs has been special so far this season, recording 1,416 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns on 226 touches across 12 games. Since Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling duties in Week 10, Gibbs is averaging 21 touches per game. With star Lions wideout
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) officially questionable to play in Week 14 due to an ankle injury, Gibbs could be in for a heavy workload as both a rusher and receiver against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. For the season, the Dallas defense ranks 27th in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (4.7). However, the Cowboys have been better of late, allowing opponents to an average of 69 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. Still, the Lions appear likely to force-feed Gibbs touches against Dallas. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 14.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
December 3, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson (calf) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Sampson is currently considered day-to-day after suffering a calf injury during Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie back has rushed for 46 yards on 11 carries over his last two games. He did haul in a touchdown as a receiver over that span, but Sampson has mainly been a non-factor in fantasy football, with fellow rookie
Quinshon Judkins seeing most of the backfield work. His absence in Week 14 would mean increased playing time for
Jerome Ford and possibly
Raheim Sanders. Judkins is the only fantasy-relevant back in Cleveland at the moment.

December 3, 2025
Across 12 games this season, Detroit Lions quarterback
Jared Goff has completed 69.8% of his pass attempts for 3,025 yards, 25 touchdowns, and five interceptions. However, his supporting cast in Detroit is as depleted as it's been all season heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions will be without tight ends
Brock Wright (neck) and
Sam LaPorta (back), as well as wide receiver
Kalif Raymond (ankle). Most importantly, star wideout
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) did not practice all week and is questionable to play against Dallas due to the low ankle sprain he suffered in Week 13. On paper, the Cowboys look like a favorable matchup for Goff. Through 13 weeks, Dallas has allowed the most passing yards (3,234) and touchdowns (28) of any NFL team. The Cowboys have been better in the second half of the season, but they still allowed four touchdown passes in Week 13 to the Kansas City Chiefs. While his outlook would obviously be improved if St. Brown is active, Goff profiles as a solid fantasy QB1 in Week 14.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
December 3, 2025
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch (chest) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Dortch joined fellow wideout
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) on the injury report to begin Week 14. The 27-year-old gave fantasy managers a dud last week after two straight strong performances when Harrison was sidelined following an appendectomy. Dortch hauled in 12 receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns while Harrison missed two games due to injury. Last week, Dortch was held to two receptions for 14 yards with Harrison back on the field. If Dortch and Harrison are unable to play in Week 14,
Xavier Weaver figures to see increased playing time. The second-year wideout has been a non-factor in fantasy leagues to this point. If both Dortch and Harrison are out,
Michael Wilson will likely handle as many targets as he can.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of their divisional clash against the Arizona Cardinals. Despite being limited on Wednesday, head coach Sean McVay expects Williams to be ready to play in Week 14. The Rams have featured a committee much more in 2025 than in previous years, and Williams' workload has been limited. The fourth-year running back has eclipsed 15 carries in just one of his last nine games, and second-year back
Blake Corum has been efficient this season. Williams faces a Cardinals run defense that has struggled in recent weeks and has allowed double-digit fantasy points to every starting running back they've faced this season. If Williams is good to go this week, he is a high-end RB2 in Week 14.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Davante Adams (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday as the Rams prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals. Despite being listed as a non-participant, head coach Sean McVay expects Adams to be fine for Week 14. Adams was listed on the injury report last week with hamstring soreness, but looked just fine in Week 13, hauling in four of five targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers. Adams has been a touchdown machine in his first stint with the Rams, scoring 14 touchdowns in 12 games. Thursday and Friday's practice report will determine whether or not Adams will play in Week 14, but all signs are pointing up for the veteran receiver being able to go this week.

Free-agent All-Star outfielder
Kyle Tucker visited the Toronto Blue Jays training facility in Florida on Wednesday, according to Robert Murray of Fansided.com. The Blue Jays have already signed free-agent right-hander
Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract and right-hander Cody Ponce to a three-year, $30 million contract, but apparently, they are not done adding after coming up just short in the World Series. Tucker is the biggest free agent on the market, and he is projected to land an 11-year, $418 million contract. Last year for the Chicago Cubs, the four-time All-Star hit 22 home runs with 91 runs, 73 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 597 plate appearances. The biggest concern with Tucker is his inability to stay on the field, but because of that, fantasy managers can now scoop him up in the second round of most drafts.

December 3, 2025
Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice as the Ravens prepare for their divisional showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This marks the first time Jackson has participated in a Wednesday practice in quite some time, but it's still displeasing to see the star quarterback's name on the injury report. Jackson suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the season that sidelined him for four weeks, and has been listed for knee and ankle injuries in the past few weeks. Jackson's rushing stats have dipped drastically in 2025, averaging career lows in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns this season. Without his rushing floor, Jackson will continue to be an inconsistent option for fantasy managers. Jackson will likely be upgraded to a full practice either Thursday or Friday and should be ready to play in an important game in Week 14.

December 3, 2025
Houston Texans rookie running back
Woody Marks (foot) will be fine, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. Marks went out early in the first quarter but returned later in Week 13's win over the Indianapolis Colts and did not participate in Wednesday's practice. However, reassurance from their head coach is a good sign for Marks' availability for Week 14, when the Texans travel to Kansas City. The fourth-round pick has been a nice surprise for fantasy managers this season, totaling 674 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games. It seems like Marks will be able to practice at some point this week and be ready for a showdown against one of the best run defenses in the NFL. Thursday's practice report will be one to watch in determining if Marks will be available this week.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (left hand) had a plate and multiple screws put in his hand in surgery. Herbert suffered a broken left hand in Week 13's win over the Las Vegas Raiders and underwent surgery on Monday, and reports say that it was successful. Herbert reiterated on Wednesday that the plan is to play in Week 14 when the Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles. The star quarterback has been excellent in 2025, currently averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game, which ranks as the QB8. The Chargers are fighting for a playoff spot and will need to finish strong to fend off the likes of the Chiefs, Bills, and other teams. Fantasy managers should prepare as if Herbert will be able to play in Week 14.
UPDATE: Herbert says he's day-to-day, and his status for Monday depends on the swelling in his surgically-repaired left hand.--Nathan HarveySource: Alex Insdorf

The Cleveland Guardians agreed to a major-league deal with free-agent right-hander
Connor Brogdon on Wednesday, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Brogdon, 30, has had limited success in his six seasons in the majors, posting a 4.36 ERA with a 15.3 K-BB% across 192 innings. However, with the Los Angeles Angels last year, he pitched to a 3.86 SIERA with a 24.6% strikeout rate while averaging 95.5 miles per hour on his fastball in 47 innings. For Cleveland, Brogdon is just another arm in the bullpen, but he could help fantasy managers who play in leagues that count holds as a category.

December 3, 2025
The Los Angeles Chargers have opened the practice window for running back
Hassan Haskins (hamstring). Haskins suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 and was placed on the injured reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of four weeks. While the fourth-year back is gearing up for a potential return in Week 14, his role will likely be limited to special teams moving forward.
Kimani Vidal has stepped up, and rookie
Omarion Hampton is "likely" to play on Monday Night against the Philadelphia Eagles. If Haskins can suit up in Week 14, his role will keep him away from fantasy relevance, and his impact won't affect the values of Hampton and Vidal moving forward.

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) will be sidelined for at least one more week. On Wednesday, the Finnish blue-liner practiced in a non-contact jersey for the first time since having surgery in late March to repair a ruptured right triceps tendon. Once he is ready to return, Ristolainen will likely slot into a top-four role in the Flyers defense. Last season, he finished the year with 19 points (four goals, 15 assists), 100 shots, 94 blocks, and 97 hits in 62 appearances. Ristolainen may not have much fantasy value, but he will improve the Flyers defense as the team aims to end a five-year postseason drought in 2026.

After back-to-back productive games, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver
Pat Bryant is earning praise from his quarterback,
Bo Nix. Nix said that Bryant is "an every-down receiver and is getting better and better each week." In the last two games, Bryant has made eight catches on 13 targets for 124 yards, playing a 58% and 70% snap share in those games. The third-round pick from Illinois is becoming a top target for Nix, and he played the second-most snaps of any receiver for the Broncos after their bye week. Bryant and the Broncos face an easy matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While Bryant is not yet a regular starter, with high praise from his quarterback and a growing role, the rookie receiver is a name to watch this week.

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (lower body) could return to action on Thursday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. The veteran star has been working his way back from a lower-body injury and participated fully in Wednesday's practice. Kings head coach Jim Hiller said he is "hopeful" Doughty and forward Warren Foegele (upper body) can play on Thursday. Doughty has missed seven games since suffering a lower-body injury while blocking a shot on Nov. 15 against the Ottawa Senators. 18 years into his NHL career, Doughty continues to provide a little bit of everything to fantasy managers, sitting on eight points (two goals, six assists), 24 shots, 30 blocks, and 11 hits after 19 appearances this season.
