Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw three touchdown passes in a game for the first time in his career as the Vikings throttled Washington 31-0 on Sunday. The second-year quarterback finished the day by completing 16 of 23 passing attempts for 163 yards, added 19 rushing yards on six carries, and, crucially, did not commit a turnover. Even against one of the NFL's bottom-tier defenses, McCarthy's performance was a sigh of relief following weeks of persistent struggles. McCarthy led scoring drives of 61 and 98 yards on the Vikings' first two possessions, and the Minnesota defense pitched a shutout to let the offense lean on the running game thereafter. The Vikings are effectively out of the playoff picture, but will use the rest of the season to take a long look at McCarthy, whose career-best 129.2 passer rating on Sunday was a strong first step in the right direction. He'll see another plus fantasy matchup against a leaky Dallas pass defense in Week 15.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback Daniel Jones' Achilles injury could be season-ending. Steichen couldn't confirm the exact severity or timeline, but he said that it's "not looking good." If Jones' season is officially over, it will be an abrupt ending to his Comeback Player of the Year candidacy. The former first-round pick out of Duke had drastically exceeded expectations during his first year with Indianapolis, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He also had 164 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. The Colts are already without Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye), so losing Jones for an extended period of time would bump Riley Leonard into the starting role. Indianapolis is 8-5 and would slot into the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff picture if the season ended today.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) is still expected to play again this season despite exiting Sunday's Week 14 contest with an injury. Head coach Dan Quinn said that Daniels could have returned to the game, but the team decided to exercise caution and hold him out. He also noted that Daniels will return this season, and he won't be shut down. "It's an important development time for him," Quinn said. Injuries have plagued the 24-year-old in his second pro season, as he has missed part of eight different games. It sounds like Daniels has a chance to play in Week 15 against the New York Giants, giving the Commanders an opportunity to bounce back from this weekend's 31-0 loss against Minnesota. If Daniels can't suit up, Marcus Mariota will step in as the Commanders' No. 1 quarterback.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing Friday's practice. The Cardinals are extremely short-staffed at wide receiver with Weaver, Greg Dortch (chest), and Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) all sidelined. Wide receiver Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride will operate as Arizona's top targets. Andre Baccellia, Trent Sherfield, and Jalen Brooks will round out the rest of the wide receiver room.

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finished the game with 76 rushing yards on six carries, headlined by a big 55-yard run. The 23-year-old adds a burst of speed to the offense, so his absence will be felt. With Justice Hill (neck) and Mitchell both sidelined, Rasheen Ali will step into the backup running back role behind Derrick Henry.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (knee) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He was carted off the field and quickly ruled out. The veteran tight end finished the game with two targets, one catch, and 11 receiving yards. Ertz was emotional while being carted to the locker room, and there appears to be concern that he suffered a serious injury. We'll likely know more about his injury and status as he undergoes additional testing in the aftermath of Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Ben Sinnott will step up as the Commanders' top tight end in his absence.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 22-year-old returns from a two-game absence and will look to turn around a disappointing rookie season. Through nine games this year, he has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns. Golden will face a tougher pass to productivity this week now that Jayden Reed has returned from injured reserve. Reed, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs all figure to be more involved than Golden once again. The Texas product can be benched in most fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Daniels took a hard fall on his left elbow, the same elbow that caused him to miss three games after dislocating in Week 9. The 24-year-old completed nine of 20 pass attempts for 78 yards and an interception before exiting the game. He also recorded four rush attempts for 16 yards. With Daniels sidelined, veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota has taken over under center for the Commanders. Mariota has seen extended playing time so far in 2025. Entering Week 14, the 32-year-old had completed 63.2% of his pass attempts for 1,359 yards, nine touchdowns, and six interceptions across eight games (six starts) worth of action. While the exact nature of Daniels' injury is unclear, the 3-9 Commanders may choose to be cautious with bringing back their franchise quarterback in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (head) has been cleared to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Tuten briefly exited the game and was evaluated for a concussion, but evidently the rookie running back passed the necessary tests to return to the field. The Jaguars have split backfield playing time this season between Tuten, Travis Etienne Jr., and LeQuint Allen Jr., with Etienne Jr. serving as the team's feature back. Jacksonville may be cautious with Tuten's workload for the remainder of Week 14, but he has been cleared of a concussion.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 14 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion. The 24-year-old hauled in one catch for 12 yards on one target before exiting the game. Entering the week, Washington had recorded 22 receptions for 276 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets across 12 games played in 2025. With Washington sidelined, Steelers tight ends Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth, and Connor Heyward will all likely see an uptick in playing time for the remainder of Week 14. Both Smith and Freiermuth could be more appealing streaming options for fantasy managers in future weeks if Washington remains out beyond Sunday.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ribs) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the New York Jets due to a rib injury. The 24-year-old had a monster first half before leaving the game, recording seven carries for 92 yards and a touchdown and one reception for 13 yards. If Achane is unable to return, his absence would be a major blow to the Miami offense. Entering the week, Achane had recorded over 1,400 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns across 12 games played in 2025. Should Achane be ruled out, Dolphins running backs Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright would handle the team's backfield snaps for the remainder of Week 14 against the Jets.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury. The 22-year-old was targeted once but had not recorded a catch before exiting the game. Arroyo entered the week with 15 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets across 12 games played in 2025. If he is unable to return, Seahawks tight end AJ Barner would likely dominate playing time at the position for the remainder of Week 14.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Malachi Corley (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans after suffering a concussion. The 23-year-old recorded one carry for two yards before getting injured. Cleveland has utilized Corley in a gadget role this season, as he entered the week with six carries for 77 yards and five receptions for 34 yards across eight games played with the Browns. Corley's absence could lead to a few more touches for Browns running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. Corley is unlikely to be sidelined long-term, but he will miss the remainder of Week 14 at a minimum.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is questionable to return to his team's Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a knee injury. The 29-year-old was injured while hauling in a one-yard touchdown catch. That touchdown was his lone reception of the game before getting injured. If Njoku is unable to return, rookie Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. could be in line for an uptick in both playing time and target share for the remainder of Week 14. Entering the week, Njoku had recorded 32 catches for 292 yards and three touchdowns across 11 games this season. His absence could also lead to a few more targets for Browns wideouts Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman.

The Indianapolis Colts have ruled out quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), who went down to the turf in Jacksonville without being contacted. It was an ugly scene, as Jones repeatedly slammed his helmet in frustration after being attended to by the trainers. The team subsequently ruled him out due to an Achilles injury, which was the initial concern. Jones had revived his career on a one-year deal with the Colts, who became one of the biggest surprises in the league by taking control of the AFC South. The veteran entered the week as the No. 8 overall fantasy quarterback, but could be looking at missing the rest of the season if imaging confirms a torn Achilles. Before leaving, Jones went 5-for-7 passing for 60 yards and an interception, adding one carry for four yards. Rookie Riley Leonard is now forced into action with Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) still on Injured Reserve.

The Jacksonville Jaguars said running back Bhayshul Tuten (head) is being evaluated for a concussion during the team's home date against the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie did not have a catch or a carry at the time of his departure, but took a big hit on a kickoff return. Travis Etienne has handled all of the Jags' rushing efforts, which included two first-half touchdowns. Tuten has mostly been a stash in dynasty formats, so the injury shouldn't have too much impact on managers looking to optimize their rosters before the playoffs in standard formats.

From RotoBaller

The New York Jets said quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin), who departed Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins, is questionable to return to action. Undrafted rookie Brady Cook is the team's backup quarterback and could be looking at extended action if Taylor is unable to return. Taylor, who supplanted Justin Fields as the Jets' starter, has brought some value to Superflex formats with a pair of top-10 finishes on the year, but with Fields (knee) inactive today, the Jets' entire offense could see its ceiling lowered if an inexperienced quarterback is at the helm.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Adam Thielen are active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Both players are making their team debuts. Valdes-Scantling was signed from the Steelers' practice squad earlier this week after previously playing for the Buffalo Bills. In five games with Buffalo, he caught four of his eight targets for 40 yards. Meanwhile, Thielen was claimed off waivers after he and the Minnesota Vikings mutually agreed to part ways. The 35-year-old had caught just eight passes through 11 games. He is one year removed from a solid 2024 campaign with the Carolina Panthers in which he caught 48 passes for 615 yards and five touchdowns. Neither player is much of a hot commodity in fantasy football, but they both have the potential to carve out significant roles. After all, the Steelers have been underwhelmed by the wide receiver position across the entire depth chart, including receivers DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III, and could be looking for meaningful contributions from new faces.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton has been suspended by the team for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Buffalo Bills, according to Charlie Clifford of WLWT. The 2024 third-round pick has previously faced discipline for off-the-field issues, and his team-issued suspension is the latest example of Burton's personal choices costing him meaningful playing time. Burton has not played an offensive snap this season, and he did not travel with the team to Buffalo. As a rookie last year, he caught four of 14 targets for 107 yards. He should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Adam Thielen is active for Week 14's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Spin: The 35-year-old Thielen was claimed off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week but only has eight receptions for 69 yards in 11 games this season and has been targeted just 18 times. Although he has a good rapport with QB Aaron Rodgers, Thielen can be ignored in fantasy leagues unless he carves out a meaningful role in Pittsburgh.
