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.--Will Brady

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.--Alex Fischbein

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 - 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 McCarthy

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded his largest yardage total of the season in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, hauling in seven of his eight targets for 82 yards. With top receiver Drake London (knee) missing the last couple of games and also Week 8, the 6-foot-6 tight end has been Kirk Cousins' favorite target, looking his way a total of 22 times in those three contests. With London ruled out for Week 14 as well, the 25-year-old could again be the team's top receiving weapon, especially against the Seahawks, a defense that has been generally good against the pass, but that has given up the fourth-most PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. The drawback here is that Pitts has one touchdown all season and has failed to garner a red zone target in four consecutive weeks now. Be that as it may, the former first-round draft pick still projects as a mid-range TE1 based on volume alone in this favorable matchup at home.--Jarod Rupp

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had a big day last week against the Tennessee Titans and will look to replicate the effort against the Indianapolis Colts. Lawrence completed 16 of 27 passes for 229 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions, and rushed for 25 yards in last Sunday's win over the Titans. The Colts' defense has been average this season, so the Jaguars' offense is more than capable of rising to the occasion. It's worth noting that there is a potential for heavy rain in Jacksonville. In an essential matchup with playoff implications, both teams should be aggressive and push the ball down the field. The Colts are missing star cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) as he's been ruled out with a calf injury, so their passing defense will be extra leaky in Week 14. Based on his recent upward trajectory and rushing upside, Lawrence should be viewed as a borderline QB1 and comes in as QB15 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for this week.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is fresh off of signing a new extension and becoming the triple-crown record breaker in franchise history (receiving touchdowns, receiving yards, and receptions). While his season hasn't been as consistent in years past, Andrews sits at TE13 overall in half-PPR formats. Isaiah Likely was predicted to cut into his production even more this season, but that hasn't happened yet. Andrews will go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 14, which presents a strong matchup for some fantasy points. They give up 15.81 fantasy points per game and have allowed 73 catches for 765 yards and seven touchdowns (6.1 catches and 63.8 yards on average). That lends to him currently projected as TE9 for half-PPR formats on RotoBaller's rankings.--Alex Fischbein

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren has had an excellent rookie season, hauling in 58 receptions on 78 targets for 684 yards and five total touchdowns. The rookie first-rounder ranks as the TE7 in PPR points per game (13.1) and remains one of the top fantasy options at the tight end position heading into Week 14. The 23-year-old has a prime matchup against the division rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville has allowed the second-most PPR points to tight ends per game this season. Opposing tight ends have racked up 84 receptions in 12 games versus Jacksonville this season, only trailing the Cincinnati Bengals' abysmal defense. Warren is a must-start on Sunday, ranking as RotoBaller's TE3 in PPR leagues.--Kyle McCarthy

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 234 yards and one touchdown in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, spreading the ball around to seven different receivers, each with at least two targets apiece. The veteran QB now has an unremarkable 3:1 TD:INT in three starts this season, and heads into a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Seattle's defense has yielded just 152.7 yards per game passing over their last three contests (sixth-fewest) and is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. The game will be played indoors in Atlanta, but with the Falcons missing their top receiver, Drake London (knee), and with an implied team total of just 19 points, they are not expected to find the end zone frequently. It all points to Cousins being a very low-end QB2 for Sunday's showdown.--Jarod Rupp

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has been the most productive pass catcher on the team over the most recent stretch of games. Pierce has scored both of his touchdowns on the season in two of the last three games, and he's cleared 75 receiving yards in three of the past four. The 25-year-old has leveled up and become a more complete wide receiver this season after serving primarily as a deep threat in previous years. He remains an elite vertical receiver, leading the league in yards per reception for a second straight season after topping the leaderboard last season. Pierce will look to stay hot in Week 14 against the division rival Jacksonville Jaguars, who rank middle of the pack in most pass defense metrics. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR33 in PPR leagues and is a solid WR3/FLEX option for Week 14.--Kyle McCarthy

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs was listed on the injury report this week with hip and knee injuries, but practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and will be good to go on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Downs has been a tough player to trust for fantasy purposes this season, as the trio of Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, and Tyler Warren has dominated the receiving production in the Colts' offense. The 24-year-old wideout still makes plays when given opportunities and is a key target for quarterback Daniel Jones on third downs, but he has totaled just five receptions for 57 yards on 14 targets over the past three games. Downs holds value in deeper leagues, but can be left on benches in most re-draft leagues for Week 14 against the Jaguars.--Kyle McCarthy

The Los Angeles Rams defense/special teams was incredibly underwhelming in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers, surrendering 25 points with just two sacks and zero turnovers. It was an uncharacteristic performance from the Rams' defense, which had ranked as the No. 2 D/ST unit in fantasy scoring before Week 13. They'll have an appealing opportunity to bounce back in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals, who continue to operate without key players such as Kyler Murray (foot), James Conner (foot), and Trey Benson (knee). To make matters worse, the Cardinals will be without wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest). Jacoby Brissett and Michael Wilson have looked solid in place of Murray and Harrison, respectively. However, the absence of so many key playmakers puts Arizona at an even greater disadvantage against a very strong Rams defense. Los Angeles should capitalize on this fantastic opportunity to bounce back from last week's ugly loss. The Rams D/ST ranks #6 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.--Andersen Pickard

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers registered the worst game of his career in Week 13, and it was the first time he failed to reach 10 receiving yards since Week 15 in 2023, when he had one catch for seven yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Finishing as the WR106 looks even worse against a defense as bad as the Cincinnati Bengals, though. Now, he'll take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, who are ranked 30th against opposing receivers. They've allowed 37.39 fantasy points per contest and have let receivers accrue a total of 2,061 yards and 14 touchdowns. Flowers and the Ravens' offense have hit some very low lows this year, but his talent and the struggling Steelers' secondary give him WR2 value.--Alex Fischbein

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has been incredibly accurate since replacing Joshua Karty, but a limited number of field goal attempts has lowered his ceiling and floor in fantasy football. Nevertheless, the Rams' dominant offense keeps Mevis near the top of the fantasy rankings, given that Los Angeles consistently gets into scoring range. The big obstacle in regard to Mevis' fantasy value is that the Rams end a lot of drives with touchdowns, rather than field goals. As a result, he has been accumulating plenty of one-point extra points, but missing out on frequent opportunities to rack up between three and five fantasy points on field goals. In fact, in four games since joining the Rams, Mevis is a whopping 17-for-17 on extra points, but just 2-for-2 on field goals. Accuracy hasn't been an issue, so now, fantasy managers will have to hope that the longer-distance kicks start to show up. Karty averaged 1.9 field goals per game when he was the Rams' kicker, so managers should feel optimistic that Mevis' reduced opportunities are a fluke and he'll handle a larger volume of high-value kicking opportunities as the sample size increases. RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings reflect this upside, as Mevis ranks as the overall K5 for Week 14. A matchup against the Arizona Cardinals could work in his favor, as Arizona has surrendered the second-most fantasy points and third-most field goals to opposing kickers in 2025.--Andersen Pickard

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has slowed down over the past three games after an excellent first half of the season. Since posting a season high 115 receiving yards in Week 9 against the Steelers, the 28-year-old has recorded just eight receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in three games. He is a distant third on the team in receiving yards behind Alec Pierce and rookie tight end Tyler Warren during that time. Pittman will look to bounce back in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have allowed the 10th-most passing yards per game this season. Jacksonville's defense ranks in the middle pack of the league in PPR points allowed per game to opposing wide receivers, and Pittman should see a steady dose of targets as he enters this game averaging 6.8 per game. He profiles as a low-end WR2 for Week 14.--Kyle McCarthy
