Field Level Media

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay arrived in Arizona early Sunday for an afternoon game against the Cardinals after traveling separate from the team because of an illness.

McVay intended to coach the team Sunday, although it was not known if he would be on the sideline or work from the press box area.

The Rams (9-3) are tied for the best record in the NFC with the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks. They entered Sunday as the conference's No. 2 playoff seed.

The Rams arrived in the Phoenix area on Saturday in advance of Sunday's game at Glendale, Ariz. McVay departed from the Los Angeles area early Sunday morning, a team spokesperson said, according to the Los Angeles Times.

McVay, 39, is 144-89 over his nine seasons coaching the Rams. His team won Super Bowl LVI with a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The 2017 AP NFL Coach of the Year, McVay owns an 8-5 career playoff record and led the Rams to another NFC title and Super Bowl appearance in the 2018 season.

Value Picks: Week 14

Player Notes
Darnell Washington Dec 7 1:50pm CT
Darnell Washington

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.

Devon Achane

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.

Malachi Corley

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.

David Njoku

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.

Daniel Jones Dec 7 1:10pm CT
Daniel Jones

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.

Bhayshul Tuten Dec 7 1:10pm CT
Bhayshul Tuten

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.

Tyrod Taylor Dec 7 1:00pm CT
Tyrod Taylor

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.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Dec 7 12:00pm CT
Marquez Valdes-Scantling

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.

Jermaine Burton Dec 7 11:40am CT
Jermaine Burton

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.

Adam Thielen Dec 7 11:23am CT
Adam Thielen

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.

Bobby Wagner Dec 7 11:10am CT
Bobby Wagner

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.

Zach Wilson Dec 7 11:00am CT
Zach Wilson

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.

Chris Olave Dec 7 10:50am CT
Chris Olave

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.

Josh Palmer

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.
