    NFL Player News for Week 14 - Weekend Edition

    CHI - WR Brandon Marshall's season over
    Source: NFL.com - Gregg Rosenthal
    Updating a previous report, Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall (ribs, lung) will miss the rest of the season after breaking two ribs and suffering a collapsed lung in Week 14 Thursday, Dec. 4. Marshall remains in a hospital Friday, Dec. 5.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Marshall took a knee to the back to end his 2014. The Bears were already looking like a team prone to mail it in in any given week from here on out, although Jay Cutler racked up the garbage time numbers this week and could do it again against the Saints next week. Alshon Jeffery should get more targets and more coverage, so his value is unchanged, but Martellus Bennett could remain a PPR monster as Cutler's security blanket with Marshall out.

    MIN - RB Adrian Peterson likely back next week?
    Source: SI.com - Peter King
    Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson is likely, but not certain, to be reinstated by league appeals officer Harold Henderson next week, in the opinion of columnist Peter King. The team would have to decide whether to activate him for the final three games.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Just because Peterson is reinstated, doesn't mean he'll play, and we've heard all kinds of reports of players being able to play after being disciplined and had them not come true. Peterson is worth an add because of the upside he presents, but don't hold your breath waiting for him to come back.

    ARI - RB Andre Ellington ruled out

    Arizona Cardinals RB Andre Ellington (hip, foot) has been ruled out for Week 14, according to head coach Bruce Arians. RB Stepfan Taylor will be the starting running back for the game.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Taylor is still a deep "what the heck flex" with Marion Grice and Michael Bush also likely getting work in a lackluster running game.

    HOU - Probable status for RB Arian Foster

    Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (groin) practiced in full Friday, Dec. 5, and is probable for Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    The probable designation is a terrific sign that Foster suffered no setbacks with his groin injury in the romp over the Titans last week. He's a strong RB1 against Jacksonville this week.

    ARI - WR Larry Fitzgerald a game-time decision

    Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (knee) is not 100 percent at this point and will be a game-time decision for the team's Week 14 game, according to head coach Bruce Arians.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    This makes it easy to leave him on your bench with a late starting game, but if his status affects your decision on whether to play Michael Floyd, it could be a more difficult call.

    CHI - WR Marquess Wilson, WR Josh Morgan See Opportunity
    Source: ESPNChicago.com - Michael C. Wright
    Chicago Bears WR Marquess Wilson will likely be used to replace WR Brandon Marshall (ribs, lung) on the outside, while WR Josh Morgan will likely move into the slot-receiving role.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Wilson is worth stashing in dynasty leagues, as he had been working with Marshall and Jeffery in the offseason and had generated buzz before going down with a shoulder injury in the preseason.

    Minnesota Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon (back) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and has been ruled out for Week 14.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    The Vikings will mix some of Matt Asiata, Ben Tate, and Joe Banyard in for the tough matchup against the Jets run defense, rendering them all unusable in typical leagues this week.

    New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings (ankle) was limited in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is questionable for Week 14.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Jennings is still basically a game-time decision and would seem to be affected by the injury even if he does play. He's a low-end RB2 at best despite the great matchup this week and stat line last week.

    KC - More touches for RB Jamaal Charles?
    Source: The Kansas City Star - Randy Covitz
    Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles had just 14 touches (10 runs, four catches) in the team's Week 13 loss to the Denver Broncos, and offensive coordinator Doug Pederson realizes that the team needs to put the ball in Charles' hands more often to close out the season. Charles' 35 rushing yards against the Broncos was his lowest total of the year since Week 2 when he was injured. “We as a staff, and me as a coordinator, I have to allow him to touch the football as often as we can,” Pederson said. “You look at the stat sheet and look at the targets and the number of touches that guys get, and then you go back and say, ‘Oh, I wish I would have done this or I wish I would have done that, or more of this or less of that,’ after the game, win or lose.'
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Something like the 40+ that DeMarco Murray got last night would make Charles owners very happy. Against the stiff Cardinals defense, he might need a higher volume to deliver on his RB1 ranking and price tag in the first week of the playoffs.

    OAK - Raiders excited about RB Latavius Murray
    Source: CSNBayArea.com - Scott Bair
    Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray had 112 yards and two touchdowns on just four carries against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the team is excited about what he can provide them down the stretch. “I love the way Latavius runs the football,” interim head coach Tony Sparano said. “I like what I’ve seen, but I’ve seen (14) carries. I want to see more of them. I’m curious, too. I’m curious just like the fans are curious.” Despite Sparano's curiosity, he stated that Murray won't immediately be a workhorse back in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers. It's likely that RBs Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew will see significant touches this weekend, but Murray will likely have an increased workload than what he's seen in the past.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Murray's matchup is tough and the lack of a workhorse workload is an extra disincentive to trust Murray this week. He's an upside flex play, but one with a very low floor too.

    DAL - QB Tony Romo has broken ribs
    Source: The Dallas Morning News - Jon Machota
    Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back, ribs) revealed Thursday, Dec. 4, that he has been playing through broken ribs along with the transverse process fractures in his back.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Romo looked a bit limited throwing downfield in the first half, but was able to make a deep throw to Dez Bryant and a nice TD throw on the run to Cole Beasley in the second half. Despite the dud vs. the Eagles last week, he'll still be worth a low QB1 start in the semis.

    Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne indicated he may consider retirement this offseason but will need time to make a decision. Wayne said he will only sign with the Colts if he decides to continue his playing career. Wayne will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Wayne has slowed down greatly in the last two weeks and shouldn't be in lineups this week at Cleveland despite the good matchup.

    Cleveland Browns RB Isaiah Crowell (hip) was limited in practice for the second straight day Friday, Dec. 5, and is questionable for Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts. RB Terrance West would likely be the starter if Crowell can't play. However, West fumbled twice last week, leaving head coach Mike Pettine to leave open the possibility that West won't be in the lineup at all this week.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Crowell is the only Browns back you want to go near this week. UDFA Glenn Winston and recent street free agent signing Shaun Draughn could figure into the picture this week, maybe even in a large role.

    Cleveland Browns TE Jordan Cameron (concussion) was limited in practice Friday, Dec. 5, and is questionable for Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts. He needs to pass at least one more concussion test with a neurologist Friday before being cleared for contact, but head coach Mike Pettine is hopeful that Cameron can return after missing the last five games.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Don't put Cameron in your lineup quite yet, but if he is active, he should be ready to play his full complement of snaps and benefit from coverage drawn by Josh Gordon against a short-handed Colts defense.

LS Danny Aiken (concussion), CB Kyle Arrington (ankle), OG Dan Connolly (ankle), DE Dominique Easley (knee), OT Cameron Fleming (ankle), LB Dont'a Hightower (shoulder) and DE Chandler Jones (hip) all were limited in practice and are questionable. OT Marcus Cannon (hip) fully practiced and is probable.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Jones could be back this week, just as Hightower's shoulder is becoming an issue. They'll need as much help as they can get against Philip Rivers this week.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Smith's probable tag means his missed practices earlier this week were mostly for rest and precautionary purposes. Smith has been on a scoring role and makes for a good WR3/Flex upside play at Miami.

    Check back on Sunday morning, but it sounds like the Ravens planned this and Forsett should still get his normal workload as long as he is active. The matchup against the Dolphins is a good one after the Jets exposed the cracks in their run defense on Monday night.

    Tomorrow is the important practice for White, but he himself has said if he doesn't practice during the week, don't put him in your lineup. If White can go, he'll play Monday night at Green Bay in a game that should force the Falcons to throw to keep up with the Packers.

    New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) has still very much been bothered by a shoulder injury that he suffered earlier this year, and he said he's still managing pain 'every day' that has affected his blocking abilities. “At times this year the shoulder has really held me back sometimes,” Graham said. “Other times I’m able to fight through the pain. I just got to man up and keep doing it.”

    NYG - RB Rashad Jennings traveling with team
    Source: ESPN.com - Dan Graziano
    New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings (ankle) will travel with the team for their Week 14 game. He is listed as questionable for the game.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    According to reports, Jennings looked hobbled in practice on Friday. He's been insisting that he's going to play all week, and by traveling with the team it appears that's going to happen. How effective he'll be is another question. He could start the game and re-aggravate the injury early. Consider Jennings more of a RB3/flex play in Week 14 despite the great matchup against a soft Titans defense. If Jennings plays, it negatively impacts the fantasy value of Andre Williams in Week 14 as well.

    ATL - WR Roddy White questionable

    Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 14 but fully expects to play in the game.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    White should be good to go in the Monday night contest against the Packers. We like him as a low-end WR2/flex in a game where the Falcons will need to go to the air in order to win.

    DAL - NFL investigating QB Tony Romo injury
    Source: ESPNDallas.com - Calvin Watkins and Todd Archer
    Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back, ribs) admitted he has been playing with torn rib cartilage for two months, and the NFL has opened an investigation as to why it wasn't on the injury report, according to a league spokesman. A source said Romo's injury came when he took a big hit in the first series of the game against the Seattle Seahawks Oct. 12. According to the NFL's injury report policy, 'All players with significant or noteworthy injuries must be listed on the report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game.'
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Uh-oh. Don't mess with the injury report in the NFL. The Cowboys could be in trouble with the league if they weren't disclosing that Romo was hurt.

    MIN - Jerick McKinnon to have surgery
    Source: ESPN - Adam Caplan
    Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon (back) will have a procedure on his injured back, according to a source. The recovery period is expected to be eight weeks. He should be good to go before offseason workouts begin. McKinnon was placed on Reserve/Injured Saturday, Dec. 6.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Not the way the rookie wanted to end his first season in the pros. Without McKinnon, the Vikings will use Ben Tate and Matt Asaita as their primary backs in the backfield. We could also see a bit more from Joe Banyard as well.

    WAS - WR DeSean Jackson could be inactive
    Source: NBC4 Washington - Dianna Marie Russini
    Washington Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (shin) may not be active for Week 14, according to Dianna Russini of NBC Washington. Russini said the team is planning as if Jackson will be inactive.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Fantasy owners need to have another plan here. Jackson had five catches for 84 yards and a touchdown last week, and he's been looking better with Colt McCoy in at quarterback. Now, it looks like he'll miss the first week of the fantasy playoffs. This could lead to a bigger role for Pierre Garcon. However, with Garcon's recent track record (7 catches in the last three weeks) we can only consider him a WR3/flex play in Week 14.

    MIN - Jerick McKinnon placed on IR
    Source: Vikings.com
    Minnesota Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon (back) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 6.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    McKinnon's rookie season is over due to this back injury. We'll see what the Vikings RB situation looks like in 2015, but there's a chance that McKinnon could have a larger role next year than some people think. The converted college quarterback finishes his first year in the pros with 113 carries for 538 yards, 27 catches and 135 receiving yards in 2014.

    The Denver Broncos promoted PK Brandon McManus to the active roster and waived WR Isaiah Burse Saturday, Dec. 6.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Burse had yet to make an impact as a return man, and McManus was needed as a kickoff specialist. Connor Barth is going to kick field goals for the Broncos.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    It looks like Roddy White is going to play. That leaves Douglas as more of a WR5/WR6 in Week 14....in other words, he doesn't have a ton of fantasy potential this week.

    He's not in the doghouse, but he's certainly not at the top of the heap right now. Patterson has a ton of natural talent, but he's struggling to run precise routes or play with proper 'my ball' mentality.

    Cincinnati Bengals WR Brandon Tate is expected to be the team's No. 3 wide receiver in Week 14, because WR James Wright (knee) is listed as doubtful.

    Even as the Bengals WR3, we're not expecting much from Tate. Even dynasty owners shouldn't have a lot of stock invested in Brandon Tate.
