The Ravens are waiving RB Mike Davis, paving the way for RB J.K. Dobbins, who will be activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Davis underwent surgery to remove scar tissue from his knee in November but is now ready to roll this week. Early on, we could see a committee between Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. All look like low-end flex plays at best against the Steelers.

DK Metcalf (hip) is good to play Sunday, Pete says. Same with Geno Smith. Both are good to go.

Related Players: Tyler Lockett, Marquise Goodwin

With both Metcalf and Lockett at full health, the narrow target tree should run through the two of them as normal. Each are WR2s with WR1 ceilings in Week 14.

Texans are listing both WRs, Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins, as out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys.

Facing off against the Cowboys was already going to be an uphill battle, and now it's looking like things are getting even worse. Davis Mills will now be throwing the ball to Chris Moore, Phillip Dorsett, and Amari Rodgers.

Chargers WR Mike Williams is not listed on the team’s injury report today and is now poised to play Sunday night vs. the Dolphins.

Related Players: Keenan Allen, DeAndre Carter, Josh Palmer

Williams' return will eat into Keenan Allen's ceiling but both should be in starting lineups for Week 14. Josh Palmer can now be considered a low-end WR3 while DeAndre Carter is back off of the fantasy radar.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

The RB1 Samaje Perine weeks are over for now, but Cincinnati is faced with a fantastic matchup against Cleveland this week. Both he and Mixon are fantasy viable in Week 14.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd

Higgins can safely be fired up as a WR2 option while Ja'Marr Chase remains a fantasy WR1 regardless of the health of his teammates. Tyler Boyd can be plugged in as a Flex option, though his floor is closer to a fantasy WR4.

Ravens’ head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that it “looks like it’s going to be Tyler Huntley on Sunday” vs. the Steelers. Lamar Jackson is battling a sprained PCL and is not expected to be ready.

This isn't too much of a shock after Jackson missed the entire week of practice. Tyler Huntley can operate as a sort of Jackson-lite and should be able to deliver a decent top-15 performance against the Steelers this weekend.

Browns WR Amari Cooper is questionable to play Sunday against the Bengals due to a hip injury.

Related Players: Donovan Peoples-Jones, Mike Woods

It looked like Cooper was hitting his stride with the Cleveland offense before Deshaun Watson came in and cratered the passing game in Week 13. If Cooper is out in Week 14, Watson will be working on getting his rhythm back with Donovan Peoples-Jones, Mike Woods, and David Bell as his receiving trio.

Per Auman, "I did not see Bucs running back Leonard Fournette at practice today, after he was added to the injury report Thursday with a foot problem."

Related Players: Rachaad White

We've been here with Rachaad White, and he totaled 45 touches in his two-game stint with Fournette sidelined. He would return to high-end RB2 territory if Fournette were to miss Week 14.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll just said it’s possible Saquon Barkley’s status for Sunday is in doubt. He hopes he will play but his neck is sore, so he will see.

Related Players: Matt Breida, Gary Brightwell

After coming out of the gate on fire, Barkley has cooled off immensely over the last three games, accruing only 124 yards on the ground while averaging 2.8 yards per carry. If he were forced to miss Week 14, Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell would likely split the workload, making each of them no more than an RB3 for fantasy purposes.
