Never expected to start this week after experiencing a knee injury on Thanksgiving, Waller could be in danger of missing Week 14 as well.

Fantasy Impact:

Foster Moreau will obtain the starting role in Waller’s absence and has proved capable in the role before. In a Week 7 matchup with Philadelphia, Moreau posted six catches for 60 yards and a score.

Seattle's backfield has been absolutely decimated and will hand Peterson a workload despite being on the Seahawks' roster for less than a week. The three active running backs from Week 12 are all currently questionable: Alex Collins (core), Rashaad Penny (hamstring), and Travis Homer (calf).

Fantasy Impact:

Depending on the availability of each member of this backfield, the Seahawks will take a committee approach. For a struggling offensive unit facing a top defense in the San Francisco 49ers, it's a situation to avoid.

Already ruled out for Sunday's contest against Miami, Jones will avoid the IR designation despite most likely being out a couple of weeks. Mike Glennon will start in his place with Jake Fromm taking over backup responsibilities.

Fantasy Impact:

The way Miami's defense has played over the last four weeks makes them a plus play in fantasy. With 16 sacks and ten takeaways over the last four games they face a decimated Giants' offense.
