Team news: Carolina Panthers

Raiders QB Geno Smith (right shoulder/back) fully participated in practice all week and is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game vs. Houston.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

This doesn't do a whole lot for fantasy, but we can give a slight boost to both Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty. Geno can be left on waiver wires.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters that WR Garrett Wilson, who has bad a knee injury, will not play again this season.

Related Players: Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie, Isaiah Williams

We look toward 2026 for basically the entire Jets offense. Mitchell can be considered a low-end WR3 for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Kenny Pickett will, in fact, start against his old team the Eagles, Pete Carroll just confirmed.

Related Players: Geno Smith

This is not a good spot-start situation for Pickett, on a Raiders offense that is one of the hardest to watch in the league. There are better SuperFlex options in Week 15.

Raiders QB Geno Smith, dealing with a shoulder injury, is considered unlikely to start on Sunday, sources say. He won’t practice today.

That would put Kenny Pickett in line to start against the Eagles, his former team.

This is not a good spot-start situation for Pickett, on a Raiders offense that is one of the hardest to watch in the league. There are better SuperFlex options in Week 15.

Bills DE Joey Bosa and LB Terrel Bernard are OUT vs. Bengals. WR Josh Palmer DOUBTFUL.

TE Dalton Kincaid (knee/hammy) & RT Spencer Brown (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE. HC Sean McDermott says he needs to see both guys be “functional” to play.

LT Dion Dawkins (concussion) good to go

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Gabe Davis, Brandin Cooks

Even if Kincaid misses, we've seen a sharp decline in usage for Knox as a pass-catcher, so he's off the Week 14 streaming radar.

Whether or not Palmer plays, the only wide receiver we can trust is Shakir, who should be valued in the WR3 range.

Dave Canales: No update on Bryce Young's ankle until Thursday.

Related players: Andy Dalton

This is standard operating procedure with Canales during Monday pressers, Person went on to point out. Young was able to come back in the game so he should have a good chance to play in Week 12, which is a Monday night game at the 49ers. Unfortunately those who play Young in fantasy lineups will need to monitor this situation. Young is coming off a monster game in Week 11.

The Jets are making a quarterback change, benching Justin Fields in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor, per source.

Related players: Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds, John Metchie, Isaiah Williams, Adonai Mitchell, Mason Taylor

New York faces Baltimore in Week 12 and ranks last in the league in passing yards per game, after Fields again struggled in Week 11. The Jets have seemed tempted to make this change since before their bye week, and finally pull the trigger. Taylor should at least give some passing consistency to the offense vs. Fields, but he won't have his top target in Wilson to work with. Fantasy owners should at least keep an eye on guys like Metchie, Williams and Mitchell, who are all younger WRs who could emerge with fantasy value with Taylor under center. Rookie TE Mason Taylor could also see more quality targets.

Panthers injury report:
OUT -- LB Trevin Wallace, S Lathan Ransom

No designation for Derrick Brown, Rico Dowdle, Chandler Zavala or Brycen Treymayne.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard

Dowdle has been around 75% of the offense's snaps over the last two weeks, so we should continue to assume that this is far and away his backfield to control. He gets a good matchup against the Falcons' defense here in Week 11 and should be considered in RB1 territory.

Injury was added to insult for Geno Smith in the Raiders' Thursday night loss to the Broncos.

On a night in which nothing went right for Smith and the beleaguered Las Vegas offense, the quarterback suffered a quad contusion on the opening play of the fourth quarter during the team's 10-7 loss to Denver, although head coach Pete Carroll expressed postgame it shouldn't be a long-term issue.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

This will presumably be labeled "day-to-day" for now, with Pickett the most likely starter should Smith be sidelined. Next up is the Cowboys defense, so whoever mans center will actually have some fantasy appeal.

Panthers RB Rico Dowdle will start and get the bulk of the carries Sunday at Green Bay, per league sources. But I'd expect Chuba Hubbard to be part of the offense, as well.
Dave Canales strongly suggested this would be the case at the start of the week.

Our rankings reflect this, with Dowdle a low-end RB2 and Hubbard more of an RB3/4 in a tough matchup against the Packers.
