Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out Against Orlando
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) won't play on Sunday against Orlando. Despite making sporadic appearances on the injury report, KAT hasn't missed a game. However, he experienced left calf tightness during the meeting with the Utah Jazz on Friday night, so the team will keep him out. Towns next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday, when the Knicks face the Toronto Raptors in the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. As far as Sunday's contest is concerned, Mitchell Robinson, averaging 4.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in nine starts, is the favorite to replace Towns in the rotation.

Matthew Golden Active for Week 14 Against Bears
Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 22-year-old returns from a two-game absence and will look to turn around a disappointing rookie season. Through nine games this year, he has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns. Golden will face a tougher pass to productivity this week now that Jayden Reed has returned from injured reserve. Reed, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs all figure to be more involved than Golden once again. The Texas product can be benched in most fantasy leagues.

Draymond Green Remains on the Shelf Versus Chicago
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (foot) won't play on Sunday versus Chicago. He re-aggravated a right foot injury in Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers and didn't suit up for Saturday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The NBA Cup will allow him to get some extra rest, so fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he'll be back on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fortunately, Jimmy Butler III (knee) is probable, which will certainly help lessen the blow caused by Green's absence. Buddy Hield, who had 13 points, seven boards, and one block on Saturday, will presumably remain in the starting lineup.

Jimmy Butler III Expected to Return on Sunday
Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) is probable for Sunday's contest in Chicago. The veteran has missed the last two games. While it seemed he would return for Saturday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was ultimately ruled out. With Draymond Green (foot) and Stephen Curry (quadriceps) sidelined, Butler could be in line for an above-average night against a Bulls team that has allowed 122.5 points per game this season, the fourth-worst mark in the National Basketball Association. If Butler is officially active, Jonathan Kuminga, who got the start on Saturday, will presumably head back to the bench, especially after going 1-for-10 from the field.

Jayden Daniels Questionable to Return in Week 14 With Left-Elbow Injury
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels took a hard fall on his left elbow, the same elbow that caused him to miss three games after dislocating in Week 9. The 24-year-old completed nine of 20 pass attempts for 78 yards and an interception before exiting the game. He also recorded four rush attempts for 16 yards. With Daniels sidelined, veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota has taken over under center for the Commanders. Mariota has seen extended playing time so far in 2025. Entering Week 14, the 32-year-old had completed 63.2% of his pass attempts for 1,359 yards, nine touchdowns, and six interceptions across eight games (six starts) worth of action. While the exact nature of Daniels' injury is unclear, the 3-9 Commanders may choose to be cautious with bringing back their franchise quarterback in Week 14.

Immanuel Quickley Now Probable Versus Boston
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (illness) is now probable for Sunday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable because of an illness. Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if the 26-year-old will miss his first contest of the 2025 campaign. Quickley has played as well as expected this season, averaging 17.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 39.1% shooting from behind the arc. More importantly, he's stayed healthy after being limited to 33 appearances in 2024. All things considered, Quickley is a must-start in any fantasy setup against a Celtics team that has regressed defensively from a season ago.

Bhayshul Tuten Returns in Week 14 After Injury Scare
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (head) has been cleared to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Tuten briefly exited the game and was evaluated for a concussion, but evidently the rookie running back passed the necessary tests to return to the field. The Jaguars have split backfield playing time this season between Tuten, Travis Etienne Jr., and LeQuint Allen Jr., with Etienne Jr. serving as the team's feature back. Jacksonville may be cautious with Tuten's workload for the remainder of Week 14, but he has been cleared of a concussion.

Darnell Washington Ruled Out for Remainder of Week 14 with Concussion
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 14 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion. The 24-year-old hauled in one catch for 12 yards on one target before exiting the game. Entering the week, Washington had recorded 22 receptions for 276 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets across 12 games played in 2025. With Washington sidelined, Steelers tight ends Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth, and Connor Heyward will all likely see an uptick in playing time for the remainder of Week 14. Both Smith and Freiermuth could be more appealing streaming options for fantasy managers in future weeks if Washington remains out beyond Sunday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss First Game of the Year on Sunday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (elbow) won't play on Sunday against Utah. It's unknown exactly when or how SGA injured his left elbow. However, it's at least serious enough to force him to miss his first game of the 2025 campaign. Gilgeous-Alexander is having another MVP-caliber year, averaging a career-high 32.8 points and 44.3% shooting from behind the arc, adding 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.4 steals. Of course, that type of production can't be replaced, although Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren will try their best. Ajay Mitchell, averaging 16.8 points, 4.2 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 50.0% shooting from deep in six starts this season, could also be in line for a quality game, especially if he works his way back into the starting lineup.

Elijah Arroyo Questionable to Return in Week 14 with Knee Injury
Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury. The 22-year-old was targeted once but had not recorded a catch before exiting the game. Arroyo entered the week with 15 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets across 12 games played in 2025. If he is unable to return, Seahawks tight end AJ Barner would likely dominate playing time at the position for the remainder of Week 14.

De'Von Achane Questionable to Return in Week 14 with Rib Injury
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ribs) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the New York Jets due to a rib injury. The 24-year-old had a monster first half before leaving the game, recording seven carries for 92 yards and a touchdown and one reception for 13 yards. If Achane is unable to return, his absence would be a major blow to the Miami offense. Entering the week, Achane had recorded over 1,400 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns across 12 games played in 2025. Should Achane be ruled out, Dolphins running backs Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright would handle the team's backfield snaps for the remainder of Week 14 against the Jets.

Joel Embiid Upgraded to Probable Against Lakers
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 2023 MVP missed Friday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. While it appeared he was trending toward another absence, he was upgraded from questionable on Sunday afternoon. Of course, there's still a chance Embiid won't be on the floor. If that's the case, Andre Drummond, averaging 10.1 points and 11.8 rebounds in 11 starts this season, will presumably replace him in the rotation once again. If Embiid is availabe, he's a must-start in any fantasy format despite his decline in production.

Malachi Corley Ruled Out for Remainder of Week 14 with Concussion
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Malachi Corley (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans after suffering a concussion. The 23-year-old recorded one carry for two yards before getting injured. Cleveland has utilized Corley in a gadget role this season, as he entered the week with six carries for 77 yards and five receptions for 34 yards across eight games played with the Browns. Corley's absence could lead to a few more touches for Browns running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. Corley is unlikely to be sidelined long-term, but he will miss the remainder of Week 14 at a minimum.

David Njoku Questionable to Return in Week 14 with Knee Injury
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old was injured while hauling in a one-yard touchdown catch. That touchdown was his lone reception of the game before getting injured. If Njoku is unable to return, rookie Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. could be in line for an uptick in both playing time and target share for the remainder of Week 14. Entering the week, Njoku had recorded 32 catches for 292 yards and three touchdowns across 11 games this season. His absence could also lead to a few more targets for Browns wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

Bhayshul Tuten Being Evaluated For Concussion
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.

Daniel Jones Ruled Out After Non-Contact Achilles Injury
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.

Ja Morant Doubtful Against Portland
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last nine games because of a right calf strain. Although the 26-year-old probably won't return on Sunday from the lengthy stint on the shelf, it appears he has a chance to get back on the floor soon, possibly for Friday's clash with the Utah Jazz. In the meantime, Vince Williams Jr. remains the favorite to replace Morant in the rotation. Williams hasn't been the most productive scorer in his 10 starts this season, averaging 8.4 points. However, he's at least amassed 7.9 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals when in the starting lineup.

Tyrod Taylor Departs Game With Groin Injury, Questionable to Return
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.

Robert Williams III Now Questionable Versus Memphis
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. He just popped up on the injury report because of an illness. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be an issue. However, with Donovan Clingan (leg) not a lock to suit up after missing Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons, Williams could be needed to start. If Williams and Clingan aren't available, Duop Reath would be the favorite to replace them in the rotation. The 29-year-old hasn't started since the 2023 campaign, when he averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 37.4% shooting from behind the arc in 20 appearances with the first-five.

Donovan Clingan Questionable Versus Grizzlies
Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (leg) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 2024 No. 7 overall pick suffered a left lower leg contusion during the matchup versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, keeping him off the floor for Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Robert Williams III got the start in that one, finishing the night with eight points, 14 rebounds, and five blocks. If Clingan is out again, Williams is certainly worth streaming against the Grizzlies. Although Williams isn't the most efficient scorer, he is usually a lock to make up for it in other statistical areas.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Adam Thielen Active for Steelers Debuts
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.

Steelers Won't Fire Mike Tomlin This Year
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.

Christian Darrisaw Active Against Commanders
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.

Bengals Suspend Jermaine Burton for Week 14
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.

Bobby Wagner Suiting Up for Commanders Defense
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.

Zach Wilson Active as Backup Quarterback for Week 14
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.

Tristan Wirfs Inactive on Sunday
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.

Chris Olave Officially Active in Week 14
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.

Dylan Sampson Active for Week 14 Against Tennessee
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.

Joshua Palmer Officially Inactive for Week 14
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.
