“A little bit of beer is divine medicine.” –Paracelsus, Greek physician
Bayville, NJ—After finishing his second 16 oz. can of some new, Simcoe & Mosaic hopped craft beer can of the early evening, GM Ed Doderer, who reportedly drinks five of the intense hop flavored cans a day, expressed his sincere hope that researchers are currently working on a cure for whatever terrible disease he’s getting right now. “I’m just going to optimistically anticipate that by the time the chronic ailment I’m currently developing fully progresses, a team of dedicated researchers working around the clock in a lab somewhere will have found a cure,” Doderer said, noting that he’s “counting on” scientists to invent a pill, vaccine, patch, or other medical solution in the coming years to prevent him from contracting whatever horrific, life-threatening disease you eventually get from drinking 80 or more ounces of tropical and citrus fruits and pine with subtle malt sweetened cans each day. “It makes sense because medicine is already so advanced that in 10 to 15 years, when I finally experience the full onset of whatever the hell freaky illness is slowly gestating inside of me with each triple dry hopped can of this shit, there’s bound to be at least one cure. And I hope they start working on it soon, too, because I’m not feeling so great.” Doderer added that, until that day comes, he could really go for another double dry hopped with Centennial West Coast IPA.
Draft Review
Time for my annual exercise in futility; history tells us that half of my takes (and yours) on players will be wrong. With that in mind, let’s review the 33rd Draft
Hammerheads
Strong start with Dak. Bombs away; could lead league in yards and TD’s. Just a season removed from MVP runner-up. Sick of waiting for the Trevor Lawrence break out; new coordinator, new shiny toy in T. Hunter. No more excuses. Good backup.
Love King Henry. Duh. Just wish he would catch a few passes. Chubbler doesn’t catch many passes either. Shiny new contract, he’s now the guy – was last season a fluke? Think he's legit. Dowdle gonna steal some 3rd down touches but good # 2 behind good o-line. Like the upside with Braelan Allen taking touches from Breece, particularly at the goal line.
Loved Davante before Stafford’s back became an issue. No one used to have a bad back. Remember that kids. As long as Stafford plays Davante will be fine. I like Tet McMillan but think hype has gotten out of hand. This is still CAR, not CIN. Ton of upside if the late season Bryce Young resurgence is for real. Still, lot to expect for rookie to be teams # 1 out of the gate.
Ferguson/Ertz combo at TE is boring but effective. Like Keller’s lovemaking. Zoinks!
Skull Crushers
Arguably best QB with Lamar. He’s so good that he’s gonna play during his bye week. No backup QB needed here apparently.
Breece Hall & JK Dobbins. Both are in committees and have younger guys breathing down their necks. Fields less likely to dump off to Breece than Rodgers was; he’ll just take off. I'm probably very wrong about Breece. Dobbins just a guy at this point; he’s a better pass blocker than Harvey, but the clock is ticking. If only Mafah didn’t go on IR. Bunch of dudes on bench waiting for injury opportunity.
Probably best WR duo in league with Nabors & Jefferson.
Pitts & Helm at TE nothing to get excited about…unless the Penix/Pitts offseason lovefest transfers to the field? Maybe…
Big Dogs
I like the upside with McCarthy & Maye. One or both is gonna break out. Smart shopping.
Love Irving. Duh. Saints stink and Kamara is old. Isn’t that we said last year? And the year before that, I think. Dude just keeps catching a shit ton of passes. However, this is the worst QB room he’s had. Lot of three and outs for this team; Kamara’s numbers will probably take a hit. Dowdle gonna steal some work from the Chubbler; maybe he falls into the end zone as a bye week fill in.
Love Higgins. DeVonta is reliable – ranked between 15th and 20th in per game points for last 3 years.I like Mooney’s upside when he returns from injury. Penix can chuck it and Mooney is the downfield guy. Remember – he was leading ATL in receiving yards entering mid-December.
Bowers is great but won’t see as many targets as last season. Raiders were top 3 in attempted passes last year. They’ll run a lot more with Jeanty now in town. Still top 3.
Dark Knights
Purdy quietly top 10 QB last year, and now he has a healthy CMC and Pearsall to throw to. Think Love bounces back and looks like the potential MVP from 2023.
Love Jeanty. Gonna get shit ton of touches. Hoping for a handful of TD’s. Pacheco gonna bounce back from broken leg and be the guy we saw in last 8 games of 2023. Hoping Rhamondre can just fall into the end zone during bye weeks. Nothing on bench to get excited about; maybe Gainwell will be like Cordarelle Patterson was in Smith’s offense and steal some touches. Ugh.
Wanted Cee Dee, settled for Amon Ra. Nice consolation. Love love love Egbuka. Gonna be the # 1 rookie WR. Jameson break out in the making? That’s the word on the street. Had no intention of drafting both Lions WR’s, but value too good to pass up. Bunch of other dudes on bench - maybe Burton emerges 2nd half of season, they spent a 2nd rd pick on him.
Love TE Kraft. Love has to throw to someone, and it looks like only rookie Golden can stay on the field.
Suck It
Love Daniels, but everything went right for that team last year. Could easily emerge as overall # 1 QB; I think he takes a small step back numbers wise. Richardson stinko.
Taylor and Montgomery solid # 2 backs. No receptions, but TD potential lifts em up. Jones at least gives Indy a serviceable passing game, which will only help Taylor. Offensive line losses a concern though. Montgomery 25 TD’s in last 28 games. Lotta talk about phasing him out to give Gibbs more touches. We'll see.
Love Chase. Duh. Rice not showing up until week 7; until then it’s Olave. Eeeewww. Dude needs to get out of New Orleans, wasting his talent.
Waller at TE; dart throw. No thanks.
Hurt Box
Goff above average QB – most yards, 2nd most TD’s last 2 seasons. I’m not worried about OC Ben Johnson moving on. Did all the players forget how to play? Ward an upside dart throw.
Connor keeps being undervalued and just puts up numbers. He may lose a few touches to Benson, but he’s still the main man in AZ. I don’t know what to think of Swift; it seems the opportunity for a huge year is there. O-line is improved, and hard to imagine 7th rd pick Monangai gonna take his job. Time share perhaps? Love RJ Harvey’s upside. Payton's new Kamara? Should take over backfield touches by mid-season.
AJ Brown a solid # 1, even with PHI running the shit out of the ball. Only him & Jefferson have averaged over 80 receiving yards per game 3 years in a row. Odunze will be better than last season with Keenan Allen leaving town. C. Kirk: yawn.
McBride is great, more TD’s on the way. Otton good backup.
Usual Suspects
Mahomes gonna be better than last 2 seasons, but a return to his early career numbers ain’t happening. Overpaid. Bryce Young seems to be on the up elevator.
This RB group is a mess. A. Jones splitting touches with Mason and Kaleb Johnson # 3 on depth chart. Think he eventually emerges but Arthur Smith loves rotating up to 3 RB's. Big headache. Mixon is hurt and may be toast, Javonte looked cooked last year. What happened here Mully?
I’m down on both Tyreek and Garrett Wilson. Situation in MIA looks awful and I have zero faith in Fields being able to get the ball consistently to Wilson. McLaurin may be your best WR.
I liked Hockenson more before they brought Thielen back. Kincaid has good upside. He was hurt last year and BUF wide receivers are all average at best.
Nibes Tribe
Love Nix. Flacco gotta give way at some point to Gabriel and/or Sanders so CLE can see what they have (or don’t have).
Advance metrics say Kyren inefficient, blah blah. Dude just puts up numbers and has a shiny new contract. Mason & Skatteboo are in committees. Maybe one emerges due to injury. Judkins may emerge later in the season; how bout getting in some practices rookie? Hard to get excited about any RB in CLE.
Puca is great, but I’m convinced Stafford gonna miss games and Jimmy G doesn’t inspire confidence. Smith Njigba numbers gonna take a hit in new run first Darnold led offense. Travis Hunter # 2 option in JAX, and Godwin may never be same after devastating ankle/leg injury.
TE Loveland may disappoint; lot of mouths to feed in CHI; he’s # 3 option behind Odunze, Moore, and maybe Swift.
Dime Store Jesus
Jalen Hurts gets no love but dude puts up numbers (9.8 ppg just in rushing). Dart will take job from Wilson at some point. Kid looked pretty good in pre-season; hope springs eternal in NY.
Love Gibbs. Duh. Warren in a time share with both Kaleb & Gainwell, but is listed as starter and just signed shiny new contract. Spears is hurt – as usual – and is the # 2 option behind Pollard when he’s healthy.
Love Courtland Sutton. Only gonna get better with Nix on the rise. Think Deebo gonna surprise in WAS. Jeudy will be productive until Flacco gets benched.
Love Kittle. Duh. Fidone is a human male.
Arrogant Bastards
Mayfield probably won’t match last years career numbers, but he’s a Top 10 QB. Darnold won’t do much in SEA.
Cook won’t score 18 TD’s again, so looking at RB 2 numbers from a guy who touches the ball less than 50% of the time. Bunch of crap at # 2 RB.
Arguably best WR combo with Lamb & London. Little concerned about London. Penix hasn’t even played a half season yet, and the 3 games London went nuts with Penix (against 3 shit teams) were when Mooney was out. Meyers quietly solid # 2 (top 24 past 3 seasons) but wants out of Vegas; will he play?
Kelce will be solid in what may be his final season. May not have ton of yards but receptions will be there.
Boston Crabs
I’m not sold on either Caleb or Kyler. Caleb hasn’t looked great in new offense. Kyler’s inconsistency will drive you nuts. However, he has the weapons with Harrison & McBride. Only Kyler and Josh Allen have averaged 230 + passing yards and 35 + rushing yds per game in their careers; I don’t know shit.
CMC & Saquon. Ay caramba. That combo may carry the Crabs to a title.
Until we see otherwise, gotta pencil in Evans for 1,000 yards and 10 scores. Rolling the dice that either Diggs or Kupp can be productive starter. My money (if I have to bet) is on Diggs; Maye has to throw to someone. Low end WR # 2 is probably best case scenario.
Engram a nice security blanket for Nix.
Depth? We don't need no stinkin depth!
The Bungles
Burrow is a monster. Would 5000 yards and 50 TD’s surprise anyone?
Bijon in discussion as # 1 RB obviously. I like Tracy as # 2 RB; averaged top 20 numbers in his 13 starts. Think Scatteboo gonna help keep him fresher and more explosive. Jerome Ford just keeping seat warm for Judkins or Sampson in shitty CLE.
Waddle may end up as MIA’s # 1 WR, but that team seems like an accident waiting to happen. Love the upside with both Ridley and Golden. Both teams # 1 options. Look at Ridley's numbers with the shit he's had at QB. Ward has to be an improvement. Right? Keon Coleman couldn’t separate in college and can’t in the pros. Not sold on him.
Goedert and Jonnu should both be serviceable.
Dodi Dozen
I know all the experts love Fields; his rushing numbers are great, he’ll run in TD’s, etc.,. No thanks. Dude has never thrown for over 2600 yards. I’m sure I’ll be wrong on this call.
Rattler. Let’s move on.
Love the rookie RB duo of Henderson & Hampton. Both are in committees to start but these dudes will take over touches in short order. 2 other rookie RB’s Blue & Gordon could wind up significant contributors.
I like Brian Thomas, but the addition of Hunter will take touches away, and his numbers were great last year with Mac Jones, not Lawrence. Pickens and Pearsall are both gonna eat well.
Love love love TE Warren
B & C
Josh Allen is money. Imagine what his numbers could be if his WR’s were better than mediocre. Solid backup with Geno.
I love Achane but the injury late in camp scared me off. Tua’s availability adds another level of concern. Without Tua his numbers stink. Shaky # 2 options Etienne and Croskey. One better emerge quick. Sampson and Pierce could get significant touches in shitty offenses; yawn.
Marvin Harrison’s 8 TD’s made up for mediocre reception numbers last year. He should be better in year 2, but don’t think he’s a # 1. I like DJ Moore in the Amon Ra role in CHI new offense -can Caleb get him the ball? Worthy took step up in starting in Week 11 (581 yards & 6 TD’s); he should build on that with Rice out for 6 weeks. Rice’s eventual return a concern. I like rookie Higgins; kids the talk of HOU camp.
LaPorta had sophomore slump; bounce back on the way. Henry averaged 4.5 rec/game with Maye at QB. Not bad.
Kennis Menace
Quite the 3 headed monster at QB. Hard to get excited about any of them, but I like Stroud to bounce back and look more like the guy from 2023.
Love Chase Brown. Duh. Pollard is a good # 2; his o-line is better and Spears is hurt.
Love Nico. Dude could wind up the # 1 overall WR. Is Jennings leg hurt or just his feelings? Read SF doesn't expect him to play for them this season. Ugh. No one inspires confidence right now as your # 2.
Can Njoku recreate the magic from 2 years ago with Flacco? I’m not holding my breath on anyone in CLE.
Vex The Progenitor
Herbert and Rodgers are both QB’s. Both are white. Be better Vec.
Love Josh Jacobs. I was high on Walker until this foot issue became a thing. It’s always something. Good job grabbing Charbonnet. Bigsby may emerge as JAX starter.
Love McConkey, though a drop in targets is likely with Keenan Allen now on board. Rodgers traditionally loves feeding one WR, so maybe Metcalf will eat, but Arthur Smith’s offense all about the running game. Josh Down is very good; Jones loves throwing to the slot; I’m cautiously optimistic.
TE Andrews remains Lamar’s bestest buddy, particularly in the red zone.
Playoff Teams: This is impossible, but I'll go with:
Dodi Dozen, Boston Crabs, Dark Knights, Big Dogs, Hurt Box, Dime Store, The Bungles...agonized over last spot, going with Skull Crushers over Hammerheads thanks to Lamar, Nabors, and Jefferson.
Sammy Bowl matchup: Boston Crabs vs Dodi Dozen

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters on Wednesday that rookie first-round running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) is "on track and looking good" to come off Injured Reserve and play on Monday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14, per Omar Ruiz of NFL Network. "He's ramping up," Harbaugh said when asked about his confidence level on whether Hampton will play on Monday. The 22-year-old from North Carolina has been out since Week 5 due to a fracture in his ankle, but he's trending toward playing in Week 14. It's perfect timing with the fantasy football playoffs starting in most leagues next week. However, Hampton still isn't a lock to play on Monday, and if he does, the Chargers are expected to have a shared backfield with Hampton and Kimani Vidal to ease Hampton back into the fold. The Chargers hold their first official practice of the week on Thursday, so check back to see what Hampton's participation is.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) will not practice on Wednesday during the team's walkthrough, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Herbert had surgery to fix a broken bone in his left (non-throwing) hand on Monday, and the Chargers are not ready to say whether he will be able to play on Monday Night Football in Week 14 versus the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. The Bolts won't hold their first official practice of the week until Thursday. Herbert said he plans on playing through his broken hand, although he's probably not going to see much practice time this week. With a tough matchup looming against Philly and the injury to boot, Herbert is trending as more of a QB2 for fantasy managers this week if he's active. Backup Trey Lance, who will see first-team goal-line reps this week in practice, would make his first start of the year if Herbert isn't cleared.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) has been cleared from the injury report and will play Thursday night against the Detroit Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Pickens was listed as a limited participant on Monday with multiple injuries, but he was upgraded to full on Tuesday. The 24-year-old has excelled in his first season in Dallas, recording 73 receptions for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns on 105 targets in 12 games. He is one of just three wide receivers to already clear 1,000 yards, along with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua. Pickens again profiles as an elite fantasy football option in a matchup with the highest projected point total of the week versus the Lions on Thursday night.
From RotoBaller
Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (foot) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Marks exited early during Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts due to a foot injury, but he was eventually able to return and finished with 19 carries for 64 yards while adding one reception (one target) for three yards as a receiver. It's not a great sign that the rookie missed practice to open the week, but he'll have two more opportunities to practice before Sunday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Marks has served as the Texans' workhorse over the last four games, playing 67.1% of the snaps while averaging 18 touches per game. The USC product hasn't been dynamic with the increased workload, though, averaging just 9.4 PPR points per game during that time. Marks' status will continue to be monitored as the week goes along. If he's limited or out in Week 14, veteran Nick Chubb would see an elevated workload.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Dani Sureck of AZCardinals.com. Demercado missed the past two games due to a high-ankle sprain, but he is trending in the right direction to suit up in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. With Trey Benson (knee) still on Injured Reserve and seemingly not making much progress after missing Wednesday's practice, Demercado could have a key role if he his able to return on Sunday. Bam Knight and Michael Carter have split the backfield duties in his absence, but Demercado has been their most dynamic back, averaging 7.8 yards per tote on 31 carries this season. We should know more about Demercado's status for Sunday in the next two days.
From RotoBaller
Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard had the most touches and his highest snap share (59.4%) in a game since Week 8 in the team's Week 13 win over the Los Angeles Rams, totaling 17 carries for 83 yards while adding two receptions (two targets) for 41 yards and a touchdown. Head coach Dave Canales has found the right balance between Rico Dowdle and Hubbard, using Hubbard as the third-down back while leaning on Dowdle for early downs. "We've been using Chuba primarily as our third-down back, and then he gets series as we go," said Canales. The head coach added that, especially with how good Hubbard has looked in the past few weeks, they are "making sure that he's a weapon for us in different ways." Hubbard should continue to be a big factor for the Panthers down the stretch and is firmly back on fantasy radars. The 26-year-old projects as a viable flex option when Carolina comes out of their Week 14 bye to face the division-rival New Orleans Saints.
From RotoBaller
Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was outproduced by Chuba Hubbard in last week's upset win over the Los Angeles Rams, as Hubbard finished with 17 carries for 83 yards while also catching two passes for 41 yards and a touchdown. Dowdle had 18 rushing attempts for 58 yards and added two receptions for 21 yards. It was the first time the Panthers had two RBs each record at least 75 scrimmage yards in a game since Dec. 24 of 2022. "And for Rico, you know, giving him the lion's share of some of those first and second down, those early series and all that is a great way to just get him the ball," head coach Dave Canales said. With Hubbard getting his legs back under him after missing some time with injury, the Panthers appear to be reaching a more effective, balanced approach between the two RBs, with Dowdle becoming the early-down back, and Hubbard working more on passing downs.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee), who remains on Injured Reserve, is not practicing on Wednesday, according to The Arizona Republic's Theo Mackie. Benson had his 21-day practice window opened two weeks ago, but this will be his third straight missed practice since last week, which doesn't bode well for him making his return in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. The 23-year-old second-year back has been sidelined since Week 4 after undergoing knee surgery. Benson figures to be Arizona's lead back when he finally returns, which makes him stash-worthy in all fantasy football leagues, but he'll also be a pretty shaky play in his first game back. If Benson makes it back onto the practice field this week and gets clear to play this weekend, fantasy managers should expect him to be eased back into the offense alongside Bam Knight.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Harrison made his return in last Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after missing two games following an appendectomy, but he picked up a heel injury late in the game and is now in danger of missing more time. It's extremely frustrating for Harrison's fantasy managers, especially since he had a solid game with six catches for 69 yards on seven targets in his return. The 23-year-old former first-rounder still has two more days to return to practice, but a DNP to start the week is an ominous sign. Fantasy managers need to have a backup plan at the ready. If Harrison misses another game in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, Michael Wilson would be in line for another massive workload in what will likely be a pass-heavy game script against L.A.
From RotoBaller
The Minnesota Vikings are opening the 21-day practice window for running back Ty Chandler (knee) on Wednesday, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. While Chandler isn't guaranteed to come off Injured Reserve to play in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, it's notable after Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Chandler, 27, suffered a knee injury in the season-opener against the Chicago Bears and has been out ever since. When he's ready to return, he'll provide the Vikings with RB depth, but his biggest contributions will most likely come as a return man on special teams. In his third year in the league in 2024, Chandler had 56 rushing attempts for 182 yards (3.3 yards per tote) and no touchdowns, adding six catches for 42 yards in 17 regular-season games.
From RotoBaller
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Jay Morrison of SI.com. Higgins is making progress from a concussion that kept him from playing in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Baltimore Ravens last Thursday, but he's still in the league's concussion protocol and needs to check a few more boxes before he can be cleared to return this Sunday to face the Buffalo Bills. The Bengals got Ja'Marr Chase back from a one-game suspension last week, and they could have both of their star receivers this weekend against a banged-up Bills defense. If Higgins is able to get the green light to play in Week 14, it would push Andrei Iosivas back to WR3 duties and make him avoidable as a flex play in most fantasy football leagues. The 26-year-old Higgins is a must-start when active, as he's caught 40 passes for 575 yards and seven touchdowns this year on 70 targets.
From RotoBaller
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that veteran wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) is doing well physically and has been running, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. The Bucs will now see how Evans handles contact and running routes in practice this week before they decide whether to activate him from Injured Reserve to have him play this Sunday against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer broke his collarbone back on Oct. 20 against the Detroit Lions and has been sidelined ever since. While Evans might not be ready to play this weekend, fantasy managers should be adding him ASAP off the waiver wire if he's available, as he could be a difference-maker in the fantasy playoffs from Weeks 15-17. Before his injury, Evans had caught 14 of 32 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown.
From RotoBaller
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will get a lot of reps in practice on Wednesday, but the team will re-evaluate him on Friday after he's had a full week of practice, per John Keim of ESPN. Daniels is getting closer to making a return, but he still hasn't been cleared for contact, and his status for Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings will depend on how he handles the next three days. When the second-year signal-caller suffered a gruesome dislocation of his left (non-throwing) elbow back in Week 9, it seemed like he'd be lost for the season, especially considering the Commanders' record. However, the 24-year-old avoided any broken bones or ligament damage, and he's pushing to return this year. The Commanders will play this one very cautiously, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Marcus Mariota get one more start this weekend after a strong performance against one of the league's best defenses in a near upset over the Broncos in Week 13.
From RotoBaller
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that defensive end Joey Bosa (hamstring) is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury, per Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com. "Joey's intent on getting back as soon as he can," McDermott said. Bosa apparently picked up the hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game in which he played just 24 defensive snaps. McDermott said that the 30-year-old pass-rusher could miss up to five weeks, which means he might not be able to return before the end of the regular season. At the very least, he won't be active this weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals. A.J. Epenesa will be asked to do more as a pass-rusher for however long Bosa is out. It's definitely bad news for a Bills defense that has been mediocre at getting to the QB in 2025. That could be a serious issue while going up against quarterback Joe Burrow in Week 14.
From RotoBaller
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer is not on the right track to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 after he was ruled out for last Sunday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old is a receiver that belongs on the waiver wire in all 12-team fantasy football leagues anyway, as he just has not had a big enough role in Buffalo's offense in his first year with the team. Palmer currently has only 18 receptions on 29 targets for 272 yards, and he's still searching for his first touchdown. The fact that he wasn't able to do anything with Keon Coleman out for two games due to disciplinary reasons -- tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) was also out -- tells you all you need to know. Gabe Davis and recent acquisition Brandin Cooks will be more involved deep down the field this weekend if Palmer misses a second straight game.
From RotoBaller
The Arizona Cardinals have been non-committal on running back Trey Benson (knee) coming off Injured Reserve to play in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. When asked if Benson has a chance to play this Sunday, head coach Jonathan Gannon said, "We'll see." The 23-year-old second-year back has been out since Week 4 after needing surgery on his knee, but he practiced last week and is nearing a return to action. Fantasy managers who have been stashing Benson all of this time are chomping at the bit to get him back into their starting lineups with the fantasy playoffs just around the corner. However, he should be considered questionable for a bad matchup this weekend against L.A., and even if Benson does make his return, we won't be surprised if he's eased into more of a timeshare with Bam Knight in his first game back.
From RotoBaller
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, according to Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com. Kincaid has been sidelined with a balky hamstring since Week 10. The 26-year-old was limited in practice all of last week, but he was ultimately held out for the third straight game in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kincaid will probably need to upgrade to a full practice in the next two days to gain clearance to play in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals. In Kincaid's absence, Dawson Knox hasn't done enough to be considered much more than a low-upside, touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy football. When Kincaid returns, he should immediately go back to being one of quarterback Josh Allen's top aerial targets. Kincaid has 29 catches for 448 yards and four touchdowns on the year on 36 targets.
From RotoBaller
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) is absent from practice on Wednesday due to a hip injury, according to Demetrius Harvey of Jaguars.com. Washington injured his hip in the Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday and is now up in the air to play in a crucial Week 14 divisional game against the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old had just one catch on three targets for 26 yards last weekend before getting hurt and never returning. Washington has displayed some nice chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence this year and has been useful as a sneaky flex play here and there, but his fantasy stock had already taken a hit with the return of Brian Thomas Jr. last week. If Washington cannot go in Week 14, Tim Patrick should start in three-wide sets alongside Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that wide receiver Drake London (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, but he remains day-to-day, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "We will check him out. He'll be doing some running on the side," Morris said. It's not a great start for London, but he still has two more days to get back on the field as he tries to get cleared to play in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old has not played since spraining his PCL in the Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Although London's fantasy ceiling won't be as high when he returns with quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year, he'll still be a must-start in all fantasy lineups. If London misses a third straight game this weekend, it will keep Darnell Mooney on the WR4/flex radar while also elevating the ceiling of tight end Kyle Pitts Sr.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had a monster game in Week 13, recording 10 catches for 106 yards on 13 targets against the Denver Broncos. The 35-year-old has been a stable producer in recent weeks, recording at least four catches and 42 receiving yards in each of his last four games. Perhaps most importantly for Ertz's production upside, Washington could be getting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) back from injury in the coming weeks, possibly even as soon as Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Across 23 career games where Ertz has shared the field with Daniels, he's recorded 11 touchdown catches. While Ertz's fantasy value still mostly comes from his stable floor, his touchdown upside skyrockets with Daniels on the field. Ertz could establish himself as a consistent low-end starting fantasy tight end if Daniels does indeed return in early December.
