Three key members of the Los Angeles Rams' offense are dealing with injuries that occurred in the first half of their road game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Veteran right tackle Rob Havenstein is dealing with a hip injury and was ruled questionable to return. Wide receiver Tutu Atwell was upended on a pass play near the sideline in the second quarter and is being evaluated for a concussion.
Those injuries came in addition to a knee injury for tight end Hunter Long, who was taken from the field on a motorized cart. Long had been expected to get heavy playing time with starting tight end Tyler Higbee (neck) not active Sunday.
The Rams still were able to forge a 20-17 first-half lead against one of the top teams in the NFL in the 9-3 Ravens.
With an opportunity at tight end after Long was injured, Rams rookie tight end Davis Allen had his first career touchdown reception on a 7-yard pass from Matthew Stafford.
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. This is hardly a surprise considering he missed practice all week long and was officially listed as doubtful. Christian McCaffrey remains the clear-cut No. 1 option and is the only 49ers running back worth rostering fantasy football. Jordan Mason will back him up but isn't a reliable fantasy option.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He exited in the first quarter after catching just one pass for 13 yards. This is tough news for the Texans after they placed Tank Dell (leg) on IR earlier this week. Dalton Schultz (hamstring) is also out, leaving Houston with Noah Brown, John Metchie III, Robert Woods, and Brevin Jordan as its top pass-catchers.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) has been ruled out for Week 14 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable and was trending in the wrong direction as gameday drew nearer. Drew Lock will start in his place but lacks fantasy appeal given his previous struggles and a very tough matchup against the Niners. DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will all see their fantasy values take a hit, too.

Seattle Seahawks running backs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and Zach Charbonnet (knee) are active for Week 14 versus the San Francisco 49ers. Both players had been listed as questionable. Walker makes his return after missing two games. He has shown immense promise when handling a full workload but could have a reduced snap share as the Seahawks phase him back into action. Nevertheless, the second-round back is worth deploying as an RB2 in fantasy football. Charbonnet will also earn some touches, but he isn't on the fantasy radar.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) is officially active for Week 14 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The 26-year-old opened the year with a six-game suspension and has just one target (zero receptions) since returning. He remains off the fantasy radar.
From RotoBaller
Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Ryan Neal (hip, back) exited during the first half of Week 14 versus the Atlanta Falcons. He is officially questionable to return. The 27-year-old registered four tackles before his departure, bringing his season total to 70. Dee Delaney should earn more snaps for the duration of Neal's absence.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (head) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and is being evaluated for a concussion. He took a concerning upper-body hit and was in visible pain. At the time of his departure, he had one target and zero catches. Davis Allen and Demarcus Robinson should see more opportunities in his absence.
From RotoBaller
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the New York Giants. He had been a limited participant in practice this week, so it's somewhat surprising to see the Packers rule him out prior to gameday. Nevertheless, it'll be Corey Ballentine and Keisean Nixon registering more snaps in his absence.
From RotoBaller
Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews (knee) injured his knee during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return. The Falcons were already missing two starting offensive linemen in Kaleb McGary and Drew Dalman so losing Matthews adds to the misery. It could be tough sledding for Falcons QB Desmond Ridder the rest of the way. The team should provide an update on Matthews following the game.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. He's evidently healthy enough to play despite exiting during the second quarter, going to the locker room, and briefly being listed as questionable. The 22-year-old entered Week 14 with 62 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions, and one forced fumble.
From RotoBaller
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins (ankle) injured his ankle during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 14 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return. Hollins did not record a target before exiting the ball game. The Falcons should provide an update on Hollins' status at halftime.

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Rams after suffering a knee injury. Hamilton injured his knee during the second quarter and went to the locker room. It would be a big loss to the Ravens' secondary if he's unable to return to the game. The Ravens should provide an update on Hamilton's status soon.
From RotoBaller
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) is questionable to return for Sunday's Week 14 game against the New York Jets with a calf injury. Collins injured his calf during the first quarter of Sunday's contest and went to the locker room. He had one catch for 13 yards before exiting the game. The Texans are already missing Tank Dell (leg) so a potential Collins injury would severely affect Houston's passing game. The team should provide an update soon.

Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons (illness) is believed to be battling the flu, according to a source. The Cowboys have added Parsons to the Week 14 injury report, but he's expected to play on Sunday night in the big divisional showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old All-Pro pass-rusher could be at less than 100 percent on Sunday evening while being under the weather, but it doesn't mean he won't have a big impact on the game. In 12 games for Dallas this year, Parsons has caused havoc with 42 tackles, 11.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for Dallas' defense. The Cowboys' defense/special teams faces a tough task against the Eagles offense in Week 14, but Parsons needs to remain in starting IDP lineups despite his illness.

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jeff Okudah (ankle) is officially out in Week 14 against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Okudah had two limited practices this week on Wednesday and Friday but did not practice on Thursday, and the Falcons will now be without their starting cornerback in this divisional clash. With the 24-year-old sidelined, Atlanta's secondary will turn to some combination of Mike Hughes, Dee Alford and Clark Phillips as they look to slow down receiver Mike Evans and company this weekend. In his first year in Atlanta in 2023, Okudah has played in 10 games (nine starts) and has 41 tackles (31 solo) and three passes defensed.
From RotoBaller
Chicago Bears wide receivers Velus Jones Jr. (illness) and Tyler Scott (hamstring) are officially active for Week 14 versus the Detroit Lions. They had been listed as questionable. Jones has been disappointing in his second pro season, amassing just three catches for nine yards. Meanwhile, Scott has 10 catches for 81 yards. Neither player belongs on the fantasy radar this Sunday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be missing another key defender in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, as defensive tackle Vita Vea (toe) has been ruled out. In addition, the Bucs will be without linebacker Devin White (foot) and cornerback Jamel Dean (ankle, foot) yet again. Vea is the team's best run-stopper at nose tackle and has 33 tackles, 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles this year for the Bucs, so his absence is pretty notable this weekend against a Falcons team that loves to run the rock more often than not. With the 28-year-old Vea sidelined on Sunday, Greg Gaines will see more playing time on the Buccaneers' defensive line.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Mason Crosby is a healthy scratch for Week 14 versus the Baltimore Ravens. He was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday as the team explores its kicking options amidst Lucas Havrisik's struggles. In the end, though, Havrisik will retain his job for at least one more week. The 24-year-old is 7-for-10 on field goals and 10-for-11 on extra points.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns QBs Joe Flacco and Dorian Thompson-Robinson will both be active for Week 14's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars but the team will not announce their starting quarterback before kickoff. There is a possibility that both players will see game action.
Fantasy Spin: Fantasy owners should avoid the Cleveland quarterback situation if possible, despite what should be a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville secondary.
From TheHuddle
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (concussion) is officially active on Sunday to face the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14. Cooper cleared the league's concussion protocol on Saturday and was deemed ready to play this weekend. The 29-year-old has been banged up in recent weeks and has been forced out of the last two contests early due to injuries. Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco will make his second straight start under center for the Browns after looking decent in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Cooper should be Flacco's No. 1 target, which is bad news for fantasy managers that are streaming Elijah Moore this weekend. Cooper will most likely be a boom/bust WR3/flex in Week 14 against the Jaguars.
