New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Olave dealt with some back spasms late last week and was considered questionable to play in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, but he ended up playing and catching four of seven targets for 47 yards and his fifth touchdown of the year. The 25-year-old's back flared up after Sunday's game in Miami, though, which could make him questionable for the second straight week. As long as Olave is able to return to practice later this week, though, he should be able to play this weekend versus the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave is a must-start fantasy wideout when he's active. In the previous meeting with Tampa on Oct. 26, Olave caught eight of his 12 targets for 63 yards.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) is missing another practice on Wednesday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Kamara sprained his MCL in the Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and did not play in the Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins after missing practice all of last week. With the Saints well out of playoff contention, it seems likely that the 30-year-old will miss another game this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Kamara out last Sunday, rookie Devin Neal made his first career start and played a season-high 82% of the offensive snaps, taking 17 touches for 69 yards from scrimmage. In a plus matchup, Neal will be on the RB2/3 borderline for fantasy managers as New Orleans' lead back if Kamara is forced to sit out another game.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) was a non-participant on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. It's the first time that Monangai has been on the injury report with an ankle injury since back in Week 10. The Bears could be giving the 23-year-old some extra rest this week, but it's a situation to monitor closely for fantasy managers ahead of the team's big Week 14 divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Monangai has seen double-digit carries in five of the last seven weeks for the Bears as he becomes a much bigger part of their offense. In last week's win over the Eagles, the seventh-rounder had 22 carries for 130 yards and a touchdown to bump his TD streak up to four straight games. If his ankle injury is serious enough to make him limited or keep him out entirely this weekend, D'Andre Swift would have clear RB1 upside as Chicago's workhorse RB.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Daniels is back at practice after dislocating his left (non-throwing) elbow back in Week 9, but he has yet to be cleared for contact and is up in the air to return on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. The Commanders plan on waiting until Friday to re-evaluate the 24-year-old second-year signal-caller. There's a chance that Daniels will be able to return in Minnesota, but the Commanders will probably play it extra safe with their franchise QB, and he'll likely need to upgrade to a full practice before the week is over to have a realistic shot of playing. Washington won't be afraid to give Marcus Mariota his seventh start of the year if they are on the fence about Daniels' status.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice session, according to the team's official website. Odunze last appeared on the injury report in Week 11 with an ankle injury, and it's been common for the second-year wideout to miss practice on Wednesdays this season as the team manages his workload. The 23-year-old hasn't missed a game this season, though, and he will likely be good to go for Sunday against the Packers, barring something unforeseen. Odunze's production has fallen off in recent weeks, as he's recorded three receptions or fewer in six of his last eight games with only one touchdown during that time. He projects as more of a WR3 for Week 14 against a tough Green Bay Packers defense, assuming he can suit up.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (fibula) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, according to the team's official website. Jones' full participation on Wednesday is an estimation, as the Colts conducted a walk-through. It was reported last week that the 28-year-old signal-caller is playing through a fractured fibula, and his production has cooled off a bit in recent weeks after an excellent start to the season. Jones has completed 67.9% of his passes for 3,041 yards with 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions while adding 44 carries for 160 yards and five rushing touchdowns in 12 starts this season. The veteran quarterback will continue playing through the injury and will look to return to his early-season form for a big divisional game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (hip, knee) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session, according to the team's official website. Downs last appeared on the injury report in Week 9 with a hip injury, but it appears he picked up a knee injury during the Colts' Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans. The 24-year-old's production has faded lately as he's taken a back seat to the Colts' other talented pass-catchers. He's recorded just five receptions for 57 yards on 14 targets in the past three games after seeing a season high of nine targets in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Downs' participation in practice will be monitored in the next two days, but even if he suits up for Week 14's game against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars, he projects more as a deep-league flex option in PPR formats.

New York Jets S Tony Adams (groin), CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (hip), DE Jermaine Johnson (ankle), DT Harrison Phillips (non-injury), LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball (hamstring) and CB Qwan'tez Stiggers (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3. DE Will McDonald (ankle) was limited during practice, while LB Cam Jones (hip) fully participated in practice.

Chicago Bears LB Ruben Hyppolite II (shoulder), RB Kyle Monangai (ankle), WR Rome Odunze (foot) and CB Tyrique Stevenson (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3. LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring, hand) was limited during practice. DT Andrew Billings (concussion), CB Jaylon Johnson (groin), DE Dominique Robinson (concussion) and LB Noah Sewell (elbow) fully participated in practice. The Bears did not hold a practice Wednesday, so the report is an estimation.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (neck) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Wright was a non-participant every day in practice this week and isn't expected to return anytime soon after head coach Dan Campbell revealed his injury involves his trachea, and that it could be a long-term issue. The 27-year-old was expected to serve as the Lions' top tight end after Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve, but Wright may miss the remainder of the season. Ross Dwelley stepped up and played the majority of snaps in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers with Anthony Firkser mixing in, and both figure to split the reps on Thursday night against the Cowboys. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help at the TE position.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup versus the Dallas Cowboys. The 31-year-old hasn't practiced since suffering an ankle injury during Detroit's overtime win over the New York Giants in Week 12 and will miss his third consecutive game. The Lions have multiple injuries at wide receiver and tight end, with star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) questionable for Thursday, as well as tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) facing extended absences. Rookie third-rounder Isaac TeSlaa is expected to see an increase in opportunities with Detroit's injuries piling up, and he's flashed upside in limited action, with three of his six receptions this season going for touchdowns.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip), OT Walker Little (concussion), DE Travon Walker (knee) and S Andrew Wingard (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3. OT Chuma Edoga (calf), OG Patrick Mekari (concussion), DT Arik Armstead (hand), DE Danny Striggow (knee), LB Devin Lloyd (chest), LB Foyesade Oluokun (hamstring), P Logan Cooke (shoulder) and LS Ross Matiscik (back) were limited during practice. CB Jourdan Lewis (neck) and S Eric Murray (neck) fully participated in practice.

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Spin: The team has been silent about his exact chances of playing, but he has been limited in practice. Wait for inactives but have a backup plan in case he is ruled out.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play on Thursday night against the visiting Dallas Cowboys, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. St. Brown missed the first two practices on a short week, and he admitted on Tuesday that he's unsure if he'll be able to play in Week 14 after he suffered a low-ankle sprain early in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers last Thursday. The 26-year-old figures to be a game-time decision on Thursday evening. Normally a must-start in fantasy football lineups when healthy, he'll be a much more volatile option if he's active, even in a great matchup against Dallas. St. Brown will most likely be less than 100% if he's active, and Detroit could use him as a decoy. Rookie Isaac TeSlaa and Tom Kennedy will see more playing time behind Jameson Williams if St. Brown is ruled out.

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.

Dallas Cowboys OT Tyler Guyton (ankle) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Detroit Lions. CB Trevon Diggs (knee) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out. DE Jadeveon Clowney (hamstring) and S Malik Hooker (back) were limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 3, and are listed as questionable. OT Hakeem Adeniji (knee), CB DaRon Bland (foot, wrist), CB Caelen Carson (hamstrings), DE Dante Fowler (shoulder), James Houston (foot, ankle), DL Osa Odighizuwa (elbow), WR George Pickens (calf, knee), WR KaVontae Turpin (shoulder), and S Donovan Wilson (neck) practiced in full on Wednesday and no longer appear on the injury report.

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.

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.
