    NFL Player News for Week 14 - Thursday Edition

    KC - RB Jamaal Charles practices in full
    Source: KCChiefs.com
    Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (knee) practiced in full Wednesday, Dec. 3.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Charles had an issue with the knee last week, which is something you never want to hear about your RB1 heading into the fantasy playoffs, but it sounds like it is nothing to worry about. He's got a tough matchup at Arizona, but you can't bench him.

    Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday, Dec. 3, perhaps indicating that he has been fully cleared from the concussion he suffered in Week 12.

    Good news for Murray here. It's a tough matchup against San Francisco but Murray showed some great flashes in his last game.

    Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (wrist) said there is no broken bone in his right hand, despite rumors that speculated otherwise.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Roethlisberger is still a low-end QB1 at Cincinnati, although he is more of a boom/bust than a high floor play.

    Tennessee Titans WR Justin Hunter (spleen) was released from the hospital Wednesday, Dec. 3.

    Hunter was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve earlier this week. He'll have plenty of time to recover as he gets ready for 2015.

    Jackson was banged up last week, and the team could sure use him in a matchup against the Rams in Week 14. Check back to see if he practices later in the week.

    New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings (ankle) is not taking part in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    This is not the sign we wanted to see from Jennings. His status is certainly up in the air right now. Fantasy owners should be preparing as if they're not going to have Jennings available. We'll know more if he practices on Friday.

    Miami Dolphins TE Charles Clay (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Clay might be back this week. That would cut into the fantasy value of Dion Sims. Check back to see if Clay can participate fully on Friday at the latest.

    Miami Dolphins WR Mike Wallace (chest) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.

    DEN - RB C.J. Anderson, Juwan Thompson on field

    Denver Broncos RBs C.J. Anderson (ankle) and Juwan Thompson (knee) both practiced in full Wednesday, Dec. 3.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Anderson has 59 carries over the last two weeks. We doubt if his workload is as big as a runner as it has been against the Dolphins (27 carries) and the Chiefs (32 carries). Even with 20-25 carries (plus a few catches), Anderson has a ton of fantasy value. He's the RB1 for the Broncos.

    Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas (ankle) was limited in practice due to an ankle injury Wednesday, Dec. 3. Head coach John Fox said Thomas 'got stepped on' in practice.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Thomas should be fine for the team's Week 14 game against the Bills. We like him as a must-start WR1.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    This is just some veteran rest. Welker isn't what he used to be, but we still like him as a WR4/flex play in Week 14.

    Source: The Baltimore Sun - Aaron Wilson
    Baltimore Ravens WR Torrey Smith (knee) did not practice because of a right knee injury Wednesday, Dec. 3, but head coach John Harbaugh expects Smith to be ready to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Smith's limp has subsided in recent days.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    The injury to Smith sounds minor...at least that's the way the Ravens are treating it. They're being wisely cautious with the veteran receiver as he deals with this knee injury.

    Baltimore Ravens RB Justin Forsett (ankle), who has been dealing with a sprained ankle in recent weeks, did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Forsett has a great matchup this week against the Miami Dolphins. Over the last two weeks, the Dolphins have been unable to stop the likes of C.J. Anderson and Chris Johnson. We see Forsett as a RB1 in Week 14.

    DAL - Probable status for WR Terrance Williams

    Dallas Cowboys WR Terrance Williams (finger) practiced in full Wednesday, Dec. 3, and is probable for Week 14 against the Chicago Bears.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Williams has a great matchup against a weak Bears defense in Week 14. Even with the matchup, we only recommend Williams as a 'what the heck' flex option.

    DAL - QB Tony Romo probable for Bears

    Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) practiced in full Wednesday, Dec. 3, and is probable for Week 14 against the Chicago Bears.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Romo could go off against a bad Bears defense. He's a QB1 with the upside to be the best QB starter in Week 14. The Bears are terrible against the pass, and the Cowboys need to play themselves back into a playoff spot. If the playoffs started today, Dallas would be sitting at home. They need this one more than the Bears, and they'll likely play like it on Sunday.

    New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram (ankle, toe) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Ingram is likely to be okay for Week 14. The team is just being cautious as he deals with these nagging problems. Fantasy owners need to recognize that Khiry Robinson should be back this week--Pierre Thomas has already returned--and the playing time for Saints RBs could be a bit different. Ingram is still a solid RB2.

    Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (groin) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Let's hope this is just veteran rest and Foster at least gets in limited practices later this week. A no practice week could create a game time decision and perception that Foster went backwards after seeming to trend towards better health before Week 13.

    This is good news for his owners, as head coach Doug Marrone seemed unsure of the severity of his injury. It still is hard to trust Watkins in our lineups in the playoffs because it has been a while since he seemed like a threat.

    Johnson had a big game against the Dolphins in Week 13. The Jets are running the ball a helluva lot more now that Geno Smith is under center at quarterback. This shift has made Johnson a low-end RB2/flex play for fantasy owners.

    Bortles has shown plenty of toughness during his rookie year. He's getting blasted often and has been more than a bit banged up in 2014. Bortles is playing through the nagging injuries, and he's showing a small bit of improvement now that we're late in the year.

    Quarterback

    *** Wednesday Update *** QB Drew Stanton (ARI) will remain the starting quarterback despite going 10 quarters between offensive touchdowns, according to head coach Bruce Arians. "There's no thought of changing quarterbacks," Arians said. "He's going to take us where we want to go."

    *** Wednesday Update *** QB Johnny Manziel (CLE) could start the team's final three games if the team were to lose in Week 14 with Brian Hoyer as the starter, according to a source.

    the Crowell injury is not looking good this week. I'd hate to be stuck in my 14 team league playoff starting T.Rich and Grice. just sounds like disaster.

    Not much concern over Jeffery tonight.

    Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 14.


    Jeffery was upgraded to limited on Wednesday, putting him on track to play against Dallas. He's been dealing with hamstring issues all season, but hasn't missed any time. Jeffery will be a high-end WR2 for Thursday night.

    Other than the official NFL Injury Report, teams are not required to reveal anything else. A lot of the practice info comes from guys assigned to watch the practices and not from teams themselves, except for "full" or "limited" designations.

    Isaiah Crowell (hip) was officially "limited" on Thursday.
    Crowell is confident he'll be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. "I'll be able to go (Sunday)," Crowell said following Thursday's practice. "It was nothing major." Barring a setback, Crowell can be fired up as an upside RB2 in a plus matchup with the Colts' shaky run defense. Backup Terrance West is in the doghouse for his fumbling issues.
