Jets WR Robby Anderson (hamstring) was limited Thursday after taking full practice reps Wednesday. Anderson aggravated his hamstring injury and is iffy for Week 14. It’s a bad matchup against the Broncos.

Lions QB Matthew Stafford (right hand) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Stafford is not “out of the woods” with a bruised hand, though he should be able to play in a nice matchup against the Bucs. Tim Twentyman reported that he “spun the ball pretty well” on Thursday. He’s trending up.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Raiders WR Amari Cooper (ankle) missed practice again Thursday. Cooper has cleared the concussion protocol but still has a “discernible limp” per beat writer Michael Gehlken. He had by far his best game of the season against the Chiefs earlier this year, but is looking doubtful for Week 14.

Raiders WR Cordarrelle Patterson (hip) returned to limited practice reps Thursday after missing Wednesday practice.

Rams WR Robert Woods (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday. Woods is not expected to return this week, so Cooper Kupp and Sammy Watkins should continue to see extra targets.

Vikings RB C.J. Ham (neck) took full practice reps again Thursday.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) did not practice Wednesday. Mixon looks unlikely to play in Week 14 due to a concussion and a possible shoulder injury, though his status should be monitored. If he’s out, Bernard should see the lion’s share of the touches against the Bears. Last week, he turned 15 touches into 96 yards while playing 69% of the snaps due to Mixon’s injury. Since 2015, Bernard has averaged 0.95 fantasy points per touch (PPR), and he should see 17-22 touches this week.

Bills QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Taylor avoided a serious injury but his Week 14 is very much in doubt. Right now, we’re assuming that Nathan Peterman will draw the start.

Browns TE David Njoku (wrist) practiced fully Wednesday. Njoku caught 4 passes for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers last week, and they were No. 1 in TE aFPA. It was the fifth time in the last seven games he's seen at least 5 targets and he played 54% or more of the snaps for the third time in the last four games after not clearing that mark at all in his first eight games. The Packers have been tough on tight ends this season, but they gave up two touchdowns to Cameron Brate in Week 13.
