Team news: New York Jets | Page 7

Rams are listing WR Demarcus Robinson (shoulder), WR Jordan Whittington (shoulder), and TE Davis Allen (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night’s game versus the 49ers.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Tutu Atwell, Tyler Johnson

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.

Lots of personnel news for the Colts...

*WR Josh Downs will practice today.

*C Ryan Kelly and LB Jaylon Carlies will be designated for return from IR today.

*RT Braden Smith is still dealing with a personal matter and is not expected to play at Denver on Sunday.

Related Players: Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Pittman mustered all of 6.7 fantasy points in Downs' Week 13 absence, so his re-joining the lineup certainly doesn't boost his fantasy stock. Consider him and Downs stay-away WR4s as Anthony Richardson's troubling completion rate makes the passing attack an aggressive fade.

RB Breece Hall "struggling a bit" with his knee injury, per Ulbrich. Not improving as much as he'd like. Not at the point of shutting him down. Still evaluating.

Related Players: Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis

It was a near 50/50 split between Allen and Davis in Week 14, which makes each of them risky fantasy starts. Consider each of them RB3s in a great matchup against the Jaguars defense.

Kevin Stefanski is sticking with Jameis Winston as the Browns’ starting QB.

Related players: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bailey Zappe

The Browns don't really have a better option at this point and it doesn't seem likely Thompson-Robinson is the future of the team or he probably would have been under center by now. Winston has 13 TD passes and 9 INTs in the eight games he's played. Winston can be in your fantasy QB mix in deeper leagues, and/or two QB or superflex leagues.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales gave an update on running back Jonathon Brooks’s knee injury at his Monday press conference and it was not a positive one.

Canales said that Brooks tore the ACL in his right knee during Sunday’s 22-16 loss to the Eagles. Brooks tore the same ACL during his final season at Texas and the second-round pick was playing in his third game after being activated from the non-football injury list.

It's a terrible outcome for what many considered the top RB back at the NFL Draft. Brooks will look to be back before the start of next season, but given how careful the Panthers were with Brooks coming into this season, one can assume they will take a similar path. As the story said, Hubbard went over 1,000 yards against the Eagles, and with Sanders already injured and Blackshear injured during the game, Hubbard was forced to carry the load. He should continue to do so for the rest of the season. The team has Boone on the practice squad, but will likely need to make anther move at the position.

Jets running back Breece Hall was downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.

Hall was originally listed as doubtful with a knee injury. Ultimately, his chances of playing were low anyway. Now, that chance is zero. This opens the door for rookie Braelon Allen to get more work with fellow rookie Isaiah Davis behind him.

Breece Hall (knee) and Sauce Gardner (hamstring) are doubtful for Sunday at Miami per Ulbrich and C.J. Mosley (neck) is headed to injured reserve.

Stashing Allen has officially paid off. The rookie should carry the brunt of the work against the Dolphins, which makes him a low-end RB2.

And the winner of the Bengals workout: Cade York. The former Browns and Commanders kicker is being added to Cincy’s practice squad, sources say. He’s in line to kick while Evan McPherson is sidelined.

York gets a good matchup against a Cowboys defense that figures to have their hands full handling the Bengals explosive passing attack. The vet makes for a great streaming option for managers who lost McPherson, or are staring at their kicker on a bye.

The 49ers were down to one healthy running back on their active roster, so they added another one off the waiver wire on Tuesday.

The NFL’s daily transaction report shows that they have claimed Israel Abanikanda off of waivers from the Jets. Abanikanda was let go on Monday when the Jets signed running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu to the 53-man roster.

Christian McCaffrey was officially moved to injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Related players: Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor, Ke'Shawn Vaughn

Guerendo is expected to take over the team's RB1 role with Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason both heading to IR. Abanikanda should be a familiar name to those in dynasty circles. He was a 2023 fifth-round pick but at the time was buried on the depth chart with the Jets, and he never earned much of a role on offense and didn’t play in the regular season this year, the story said. He appeared in six games as a rookie and ran 22 times for 70 yards while catching seven passes for 43 yards, the story added. The team also signed Vaughn to their practice squad.

Ulbrich on whether Aaron Rodgers is week to week as the QB: “No, he’s our quarterback.”

Related players: Tyrod Taylor, Adrian Martinez

There are those who follow the team who think it's no lock Rodgers finishes out the season as the starter with all the struggles so far this year, but it looks like for Week 14 he'll be under center at least. There probably isn't much of an upside to play Taylor or Martinez at this point. But a move away from Rodgers also likely means the Jets are moving on for good, and it's possible they don't want to close that door just yet.
