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.

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.

Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner (knee) is officially active for the Week 14 contest on Sunday in Minnesota against the Vikings. Wagner will be available despite dealing with a knee injury this week and being listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. The 35-year-old veteran is no longer in his prime, but he's still very valuable in IDP fantasy leagues, as he enters Week 14 action as the No. 3 linebacker in overall fantasy points with 56 solo tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, and three pass breakups. Wagner could have another strong day on Sunday against the Vikings and second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who has mostly struggled in what is essentially his first year in the NFL. The Commanders' defense has been pretty generous to opposing offenses in 2025, but the matchup this week against Minnesota puts them on the streaming radar in fantasy.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the New York Jets. Wilson had been listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report on Saturday. In the end, though, the former No. 2 pick will suit up against his old team. He will continue to operate as the backup quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa. Meanwhile, third-string rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers is a healthy scratch once again.

The Washington Commanders have declared LB Ale Kaho, DE Drake Jackson, OL Trent Scott, OT George Fant, QB Josh Johnson and DE Jalyn Holmes inactive for Week 14.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have declared S Andrew Wingard, DL Austin X. Johnson, WR Parker Washington, TE Johnny Mundt, OT Walker Little, DL Emmanuel Ogbah and LB Yasir Abdullah inactive for Week 14.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially active for Sunday's divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. Olave dealt with some back spasms late last week but was eventually cleared to play against the Miami Dolphins and finished with four catches on seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the 21-17 loss. The 25-year-old was listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report, but he will be active again and should be considered a must-start in all fantasy football lineups. Olave ranks as the WR9 in half-PPR fantasy points in 2025 with 73 catches for 781 yards and five touchdowns on 115 targets despite having to work with quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. The former first-rounder caught eight of 12 targets for 63 yards in the first game against the Bucs this year, back on Oct. 26.

The Seattle Seahawks have declared DE Connor O'Toole, OT Mason Richman, CB Shaquill Griffin, QB Jalen Milroe, DE Jared Ivey and RB Cam Akers inactive for Week 14.

The Buffalo Bills have declared S Darnell Savage, DE Joey Bosa, OT Spencer Brown, WR Joshua Palmer, LB Terrel Bernard, DT Phidarian Mathis and OT Chase Lundt inactive for Week 14.

The Cincinnati Bengals have declared QB Jake Browning, TE Cam Grandy, WR Jermaine Burton, DE Trey Hendrickson and DT Jordan Jefferson inactive for Week 14.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. His absence was expected after he didn't practice this past week, and he was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend. Injuries have limited Palmer to just eight games in his first season with the Bills, and he has been underwhelming with just 18 catches, 272 yards, and zero touchdowns. Even when healthy, he's not a reliable fantasy football option. In Palmer's absence, Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks should earn more volume in the passing game behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson (calf) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable after upgrading to a limited participant in practice on Friday. Sampson has consistently operated as the Browns' No. 2 running back behind fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins, but he has started to carve out more of a role for himself lately. He had 82 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown in Shedeur Sanders' first career start two weeks ago, and he added 5.8 yards per carry on four rushing attempts last Sunday. Judkins plays too much to justify starting Sampson in fantasy lineups, but the Tennessee product is still a solid handcuff worth stashing in all dynasty formats, as well as redraft leagues with at least 12 teams.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Kincaid returns from a three-game absence and will reclaim his role atop the depth chart. He has a fantastic opportunity to produce this week against a Bengals team that has been historically poor when defending opposing tight ends. In fact, the Bengals have allowed the most catches, receiving yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. Assuming Kincaid is healthy enough to handle a full or near-full workload, he'll be a mid-range TE1 with high-end upside. He's not a lock to play a full dose of snaps, but even if he's limited, this matchup is too favorable not to take advantage of. Kincaid should be started in all fantasy leagues.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said that he would not be surprised if the Minnesota Vikings brought in a veteran quarterback next season to enhance their QB room and "maybe push J.J. McCarthy a little bit." After moving on from Sam Darnold following a career-best season in 2024, the Vikings added veteran Carson Wentz as insurance behind McCarthy to begin the 2025 campaign. Wentz suffered a season-ending shoulder surgery, leaving undrafted rookie Max Brosmer as the backup for McCarthy. Brosmer was forced into action in Week 13 against Seattle after McCarthy suffered a concussion, and he had a disastrous four-interception performance last weekend. McCarthy missed his entire rookie season in 2024 following knee surgery, and he has mostly struggled in his first six NFL starts, completing 54.1% of his 159 pass attempts for 929 yards, six touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. If McCarthy continues to struggle to close out 2025, he might not be a lock for the starting QB job going into the 2026 season.

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) did not practice on Saturday, and he has been ruled out ahead of Monday's Week 14 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Johnson has allowed seven hurries and zero sacks in 2025, serving as a key protector for Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the entire Eagles offense. Week 14 is the first time he has completely missed a game this year, leaving Fred Johnson in line to step up as Philadelphia's starting right tackle.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce's strong season continues with a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14. The 25-year-old is this year's WR41 with 33 catches, 689 yards, and two touchdowns, but he has come on particularly strong lately with an average of 13.5 fantasy points per game (PPR) over his last six contests. He has established himself as Daniel Jones' second-favorite target behind Michael Pittman Jr., though we also have to factor in the strong presence of Jonathan Taylor, who commands heavy volume on the ground. Still, despite losing opportunities to Pittman and Taylor, Pierce is having the best season of his young career and continues to find himself on the fantasy radar every week. This week, he ranks as the WR33 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings, making him a strong WR3/flex in most leagues. He also gets a relatively favorable matchup against the Jaguars, who have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points and 11th-most touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai remains the No. 2 option on the depth chart behind D'Andre Swift, but he should still be viewed as a high-end RB3/flex with additional upside heading into Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The Bears have emerged as a run-heavy offense, allowing both Monangai and Swift to carry fantasy relevance in any given week. Now, with wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) inactive, Chicago may be more motivated than ever to run the football early and often. Monangai handled 22 carries last week, and we would not be surprised to see him register at least another 15-20 rushing attempts this week. A matchup against the Packers' run defense isn't ideal, but Monangai's impressive efficiency so far this year (4.88 YPC) should be enough to counteract the effect of Green Bay's defense. He ranks as the overall RB25 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III will step into the No. 2 receiver role against the Green Bay Packers with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined. This elevated role comes at an opportune time for the rookie, who had already been seeing his workload steadily increase. With both DJ Moore and Odunze on the field over the last four weeks, Burden totaled 19 targets, 13 catches, and 157 yards. Now that Odunze is sidelined, he should handle even greater volume. The Bears are a run-first offense, so it's not guaranteed that Moore or Burden will break out this week. However, if there's a time for it to happen, it will be with Odunze inactive. Burden, a Missouri product, ranks as the overall WR36 in RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings. He should be deployed as a low-end WR3/flex against a Green Bay defense that allowed over 300 passing yards to Detroit in Week 13.

There is a possibility that Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) could play in Week 15's game versus the Atlanta Falcons Thursday, Dec. 11, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. If he is not ready to return by then, it appears realistic that he could play in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Spin: Evans has been sidelined since Week 7, when he sustained a broken clavicle in the game against the Detroit Lions. He participated in all three of Tampa Bay's practice sessions on a limited basis over the past week and can be considered a flex candidate for fantasy leagues upon his return to action.
