The Jacksonville Jaguars said rookie running back
Bhayshul Tuten (head) is being evaluated for a concussion during the team's home game against the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie did not have a catch or a carry at the time of his departure, but took a big hit on a kickoff return.
Travis Etienne has handled all of the Jags' rushing efforts, which included two first-half touchdowns. Tuten has mostly been a stash in dynasty formats, so the injury shouldn't have too much impact on managers looking to optimize their rosters before the playoffs in standard formats.

The Indianapolis Colts have ruled out quarterback
Daniel Jones (Achilles), who went down to the turf in Jacksonville without being contacted. It was an ugly scene, as Jones repeatedly slammed his helmet in frustration after being attended to by the trainers. The team subsequently ruled him out due to an Achilles injury, which was the initial concern. Jones had revived his career on a one-year deal with the Colts, who became one of the biggest surprises in the league by taking control of the AFC South. The veteran entered the week as the No. 8 overall fantasy quarterback, but could be looking at missing the rest of the season if imaging confirms a torn Achilles. Before leaving, Jones went 5-for-7 passing for 60 yards and an interception, adding one carry for four yards. Rookie
Riley Leonard is now forced into action with
Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) still on Injured Reserve.

The New York Jets said quarterback
Tyrod Taylor (groin), who departed Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, is questionable to return to action. Undrafted rookie
Brady Cook is the team's backup quarterback and could be looking at extended action if Taylor is unable to return. Taylor, who supplanted
Justin Fields as the Jets' starter, has brought some value to Superflex formats with a pair of top-10 finishes on the year, but with Fields (knee) inactive today, the Jets' entire offense could see its ceiling lowered if an inexperienced quarterback is at the helm.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers
Marquez Valdes-Scantling and
Adam Thielen are active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Both players are making their team debuts. Valdes-Scantling was signed from the Steelers' practice squad earlier this week after previously playing for the Buffalo Bills. In five games with Buffalo, he caught four of his eight targets for 40 yards. Meanwhile, Thielen was claimed off waivers after he and the Minnesota Vikings mutually agreed to part ways. The 35-year-old had caught just eight passes through 11 games. He is one year removed from a solid 2024 campaign with the Carolina Panthers in which he caught 48 passes for 615 yards and five touchdowns. Neither player is much of a hot commodity in fantasy football, but they both have the potential to carve out significant roles. After all, the Steelers have been underwhelmed by the wide receiver position across the entire depth chart, including receivers
DK Metcalf and
Calvin Austin III, and could be looking for meaningful contributions from new faces.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are approaching a major decision on head coach Mike Tomlin's future, but he won't be fired this year, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Instead, organizational leadership will conduct a thorough review of Tomlin next offseason before deciding whether to pick up his 2027 contract option by March 1, 2026. The 19th-year head coach has won more than 62% of his games with the team, going 189-113-2. He is the NFL's longest-tenured head coach, but the Steelers haven't made a Super Bowl in 15 years and could be looking for a change in leadership. Any change won't come lightly, as Pittsburgh is known for keeping its head coaches under contract for a long time. They've had just three different head coaches since 1969. While no decision on Tomlin is imminent, this will be a very interesting storyline to monitor in the offseason window between February's Super Bowl and March's contract option deadline.

Minnesota Vikings left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) is officially active for Sunday's game against the visiting Washington Commanders in Week 14. The Vikings will also have rookie offensive guard Donovan Jackson (ankle) available. Both offensive linemen were listed as questionable. The 26-year-old Darrisaw will return from a three-game absence due to knee and foot injuries, giving the Vikings a notable upgrade at left tackle to help protect second-year quarterback
J.J. McCarthy's blind side. Justin Skule will move back to a bench role for Minnesota with Darrisaw back in the fold. Jackson will return after missing last week's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury and should reclaim his role as the starting left guard. It's good news for a struggling Vikings offense.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Jermaine Burton has been suspended by the team for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Buffalo Bills, according to Charlie Clifford of WLWT. The 2024 third-round pick has previously faced discipline for off-the-field issues, and his team-issued suspension is the latest example of Burton's personal choices costing him meaningful playing time. Burton has not played an offensive snap this season, and he did not travel with the team to Buffalo. As a rookie last year, he caught four of 14 targets for 107 yards. He should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner (knee) is officially active for the Week 14 contest on Sunday in Minnesota against the Vikings. Wagner will be available despite dealing with a knee injury this week and being listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. The 35-year-old veteran is no longer in his prime, but he's still very valuable in IDP fantasy leagues, as he enters Week 14 action as the No. 3 linebacker in overall fantasy points with 56 solo tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, and three pass breakups. Wagner could have another strong day on Sunday against the Vikings and second-year quarterback
J.J. McCarthy, who has mostly struggled in what is essentially his first year in the NFL. The Commanders' defense has been pretty generous to opposing offenses in 2025, but the matchup this week against Minnesota puts them on the streaming radar in fantasy.

Miami Dolphins quarterback
Zach Wilson (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the New York Jets. Wilson had been listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report on Saturday. In the end, though, the former No. 2 pick will suit up against his old team. He will continue to operate as the backup quarterback behind
Tua Tagovailoa. Meanwhile, third-string rookie quarterback
Quinn Ewers is a healthy scratch once again.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs (oblique), who was listed as questionable for Week 14, is officially out for Sunday's divisional clash against the New Orleans Saints. It will be the fourth game that Wirfs has missed this year due to injury. With the 26-year-old sidelined, Graham Barton is expected to kick out to left tackle to protect quarterback
Baker Mayfield's blind side. Ben Bredeson will likely start at center. It's a notable shake-up for Tampa's offensive line against a decent Saints defense in a must-win game as the Bucs look to stay atop the NFC South division.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave (back) is officially active for Sunday's divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. Olave dealt with some back spasms late last week but was eventually cleared to play against the Miami Dolphins and finished with four catches on seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the 21-17 loss. The 25-year-old was listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report, but he will be active again and should be considered a must-start in all fantasy football lineups. Olave ranks as the WR9 in half-PPR fantasy points in 2025 with 73 catches for 781 yards and five touchdowns on 115 targets despite having to work with quarterbacks
Spencer Rattler and rookie
Tyler Shough. The former first-rounder caught eight of 12 targets for 63 yards in the first game against the Bucs this year, back on Oct. 26.

Cleveland Browns running back
Dylan Sampson (calf) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable after upgrading to a limited participant in practice on Friday. Sampson has consistently operated as the Browns' No. 2 running back behind fellow rookie
Quinshon Judkins, but he has started to carve out more of a role for himself lately. He had 82 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown in
Shedeur Sanders' first career start two weeks ago, and he added 5.8 yards per carry on four rushing attempts last Sunday. Judkins plays too much to justify starting Sampson in fantasy lineups, but the Tennessee product is still a solid handcuff worth stashing in all dynasty formats, as well as redraft leagues with at least 12 teams.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. His absence was expected after he didn't practice this past week, and he was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. Injuries have limited Palmer to just eight games in his first season with the Bills, and he has been underwhelming with just 18 catches, 272 yards, and zero touchdowns. Even when healthy, he's not a reliable fantasy football option. In Palmer's absence,
Gabe Davis and
Brandin Cooks should earn more volume in the passing game behind
Khalil Shakir,
Keon Coleman, and
Tyrell Shavers.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Kincaid returns from a three-game absence and will reclaim his role atop the depth chart. He has a fantastic opportunity to produce this week against a Bengals team that has been historically poor when defending opposing tight ends. In fact, the Bengals have allowed the most catches, receiving yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Assuming Kincaid is healthy enough to handle a full or near-full workload, he'll be a mid-range TE1 with high-end upside. He's not a lock to play a full dose of snaps, but even if he's limited, this matchup is too favorable not to take advantage of. Kincaid should be started in all fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has been more involved in offensive preparations this week as the team prepares to face the Los Angeles Chargers on the road in Week 14 on Monday Night Football, team sources told Tim McManus of ESPN. Sirianni has been more vocal in offensive meetings alongside coordinator Kevin Patullo and has been addressing the group for longer than usual at the top of meetings before ceding to Patullo, who will continue to call the plays, at least for another week. The Eagles currently rank 24th in total yards (304.8 yards per game), 23rd in passing (196.3), 22nd in rushing (108.5), and 19th in points (22.5) despite having the highest-salaried offense in the league. Philly has averaged 15.5 points over its last four games and is looking to snap a two-game skid. Patullo is calling plays for the first time in his career in 2025, and the Eagles' offense has lacked imagination for most of the season.
