Joshua Dobbs - QB

Minnesota Vikings

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said the team could make a quarterback change when they return from their bye week.

Added Nov 29 4:19 pm (EST) ESPN.com

O’Connell in a Tuesday presser appeared ready to move on from Josh Dobbs after his Monday night meltdown against the Bears. Dobbs threw for 185 yards, one touchdown, and four picks, appearing out of sorts throughout. O’Connell said the team would choose a starting quarterback for Week 14 (after the team’s bye) based on which signal caller could best get the ball to Justin Jefferson, who is returning from a hamstring injury. “We’re going to make sure that whoever is playing quarterback is aware and understands the intent behind plays where either Justin is the primary [target], or based upon coverage, based upon the defensive look, how to quickly and efficiently get to the right place to go with the football,” O’Connell said. That puts rookie QB Jaren Hall and Nick Mullens firmly in play to take over for Dobbs in Week 14 against the Raiders. Both QBs should be monitored in superflex formats.

A. Amos - DB

HOU

Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reports the Texans are signing S Adrian Amos.

Amos appeared in 11 games with the Jets this season before getting waived prior to Week 13. The Texans now add Amos to a solid safety room that includes Jalen Pitre and Jimmie Ward. DeMeco Ryans’ defense has been humming lately, with three picks in Week 13’s win over the Broncos. Adding Amos, a former Bear and Packer, gives the Texans depth for a playoff push.

N. Harris - RB

PIT

Steelers RB Najee Harris (knee) did not participate in practice Tuesday.

Harris popped up on the injury report with a new knee issue on Tuesday. He was not listed with an injury on Monday, but now was listed as not practicing with a Thursday game looming in Week 14. Wednesday’s practice status will provide clarity on Harris’ health for Thursday against the Patriots, but his new knee injury is a situation to monitor. If Harris misses time, Jaylen Warren will receive a major boost for fantasy managers.

D. Parker - WR

Patriots WR DeVante Parker (knee) was limited in Tuesday practice.

Parker was listed as limited for the second straight day with a knee injury. He was the Patriots’ leading receiver in Week 13, though his fantasy ceiling is limited with a somber quarterback situation. Fellow WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) were also limited in Tuesday’s practice. None of the Pats’ pass-catchers are confident fantasy plays against a tough Steelers defense in Week 14.

D. Douglas - WR

Patriots WR Demario Douglas (concussion) was a DNP for Tuesday’s practice.

Douglas missed Week 13 with a concussion he suffered in Week 12. With a short week leading up to a Thursday matchup against the Steelers, back-to-back missed practice listings do not bode well for Douglas’ Week 14 status. He leads the Patriots in receiving yards as a rookie and if Douglas cannot play this week, DeVante Parker is slated to be the team’s primary receiver.

T. Lawrence - QB

JAC

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reports the Jaguars have not ruled out Trevor Lawrence (ankle) for Week 14.

Although it’s unlikely, the Jaguars are holding out hope that Lawrence can give it a go in Week 14. According to Howe, Lawrence will be receiving around the clock treatment to help his high ankle sprain. It would be a miraculous comeback if Lawrence were able to suit up, but fantasy managers shouldn’t get their hopes up just yet. Stay tuned.

K. Drake - RB

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Packers have signed Kenyan Drake to their practice squad.

No word yet on what this means for Aaron Jones’ status, but for now it looks like a depth signing. Drake last played with Ravens until he was released in October of this season. If Aaron Jones misses another game, don’t be shocked to see Drake working behind AJ Dillon.

J. Baker - LB

MIA

Dolphins LB Jerome Baker (knee) is week-to-week but will avoid a trip to the IR.

Baker got injured in the second quarter of the Dolphins’ win over the Commanders but was not able to return to the game. Head coach Mike McDaniel said on Tuesday that Baker’s injury will not require surgery and the linebacker is considered week-to-week. Baker has 65 tackles and 1.5 sacks this season, so the Dolphins will look to replace that production in the starting lineup over the next few weeks.

R. Hunt - OL

MIA

Dolphins OG Robert Hunt (hamstring) is week-to-week and expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Titans.

Hunt was the Dolphins’ second-round pick in the 2020 draft and has graded out as the 5th-best guard in the NFL this season, according to Pro Football Focus. Hunt has been equally adept in both pass blocking and run blocking, so his loss is a notable one. However, the Titans are also likely to be without stud defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons, so Hunt’s injury might not impact the Dolphins much in Week 14, but they’ll hope he can come back soon.
