Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Bills on Sunday night. The 31-year-old three-time Pro Bowler’s absence will make life easier on MVP candidate Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs as they look to give Pittsburgh their second straight loss. Haden hasn’t really been relevant in IDP leagues, but he has contributed 41 tackles, 12 passes

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (hip) is questionable for Week 14 against the Dolphins. Mathieu popped up on the injury report on Friday and was able to get in a limited practice, so he has a chance to be active. The Honey Badger has been a top-15 defensive back in IDP leagues, racking up 43 tackles, seven passes defensed, five interceptions and a fumble

Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) and Keke Coutee (knee) are both questionable for Week 14 against the Bears. Cooks was limited in practice all week, however, so we’d expect him to play against Chicago as the team’s top receiver. Coutee practiced in full the last two days, so he should play as well. Both wideouts have a tough matchup against a Bears

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (concussion), who remains in the league’s concussion protocol, is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Seahawks. However, Gore was listed as a full practice participant on Friday and could be cleared in time to play on Sunday. If the veteran back can’t get the green light, Ty Johnson would lead this backfield against Seattle, with Josh

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (back, neck), running back Kenyan Drake (hip) and linebacker Isaiah Simmons (back, neck) are questionable for Week 14 against the Giants. Hopkins is expected to play, so he should be penciled into all starting lineups in single-year leagues despite a tough matchup with cornerback James Bradberry. The All-Pro wideout had 13 targets last week for eight catches, 52 yards

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) and rookie cornerback Jeff Okudah (groin) have both been ruled out for Week 14 against the Packers. It will be Golladay’s sixth straight game on the sidelines due to injury. The fact that he didn’t practice all week makes it seem like he’s not close to returning for Week 15 against the Titans either. Marvin Jones Jr. has

Detroit Lions rookie running back D’Andre Swift (illness) and quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) are both questionable for Week 14 against the Packers. Swift and Stafford were both full participants in practice on Friday, meaning they should both play on Sunday. Because Swift has been out since Week 10, he faces the prospect of being eased back in, making him more of a low-end RB2 in

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that he’s hoping to make a final decision on Friday night on whether quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) will play in Week 14 against the Cardinals. “I’m fairly optimistic,” Judge said. “At the same time, there’s a ways to go.” Jones ramped up his activity in practice on Thursday and put in a full practice on Friday, so

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy hasn’t finished as a top-50 fantasy wide receiver in any of the last three games. He got a pass in the Week 12 debacle against the Saints, but he didn’t do much better against the Chiefs last week with quarterback Drew Lock back in the fold, catching only one of four targets for five yards. Jeudy has had

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) was questionable with a knee injury last week before playing against the Chiefs, but he practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 14 against the Panthers. Even while playing through injury, Denver gave Lindsay 14 carries last week, which he turned into just 26 yards (1.86 yards per carry). The

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (back) was on the injury report this week, but he practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and is good to go for Week 14 against the Panthers. By this point, fantasy managers should know by now that they can’t trust Lock as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues. The second-year signal-caller has thrown at least one

The Washington Football Team defense has been an up-and-down unit for fantasy managers all season, but they are a start-worthy option in Week 14 in San Francisco. The 49ers are an average matchup so Washington isn’t a priority defense to start this week. However, a solid defensive line featuring Chase Young, Montez Sweat, and Ryan Kerrigan gives them a safe floor as they are usually

The New York Giants Defense has fueled their resurgence to the top of the division, but they remain a risky option in fantasy. New York’s defense has been good at point prevention, but are still just middle-of-the-pack in terms of sacks and turnovers. How well New York performs will come down to two factors: Blake Martinez (back) suiting up to try and stop Kyler Murray,

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel returned to practice Friday after the team activated him from the Reserve/COVID list. Samuel’s return comes at a good time for the Panthers’ offense, as they’ll be without Christian McCaffrey (shoulder, quad) and D.J. Moore (COVID-19) for the contest against the Broncos. The 24-year-old has exceeded 70 receiving yards in three of his last four games- and could see

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense has been one of the more productive fantasy defenses in the league in 2020. They will have their work cut out for them in Week 14, however, as they draw a road matchup against a quality Buffalo Bills offense. The Bills have not been very generous to fantasy defenses this season, allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has been a solid leg for fantasy managers all year long and is a start-worthy option in Week 14 against Arizona. The New York area is projected to be in the low-40’s temperature-wise on Sunday, but without ferocious wind Gano should be fine kicking in his home stadium. The Florida State kicker has not missed a field goal since

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson should see even more targets in Week 14 against the Broncos. Anderson has already been a target hog this year- as he’s one of just 15 players with at least 100 targets this season- and that should continue with D.J. Moore (COVID-19) likely out. The Broncos have actually allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers over their last four

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron draws a plus matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. Ebron has steadily become a larger part of the Pittsburgh passing attack as the season has gone on, garnering 29 targets over the previous three games. He should turn in another productive outing against a Buffalo defense that is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool will take a two-game scoreless drought into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The rookie wideout will look to get back into the end zone against a Buffalo secondary that has been stingy to opposing wide receivers, allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. To make matters worse, Claypool has the toughest cornerback

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has been a favorite target of Alex Smith since the veteran took over as the team’s starter in Week 9. McKissic has double-digit targets in three games with Smith under center and his 78 targets overall rank second to only Alvin Kamara among running backs. Now, with Antonio Gibson (toe) ruled out, McKissic could see an uptick in
