Jaguars WR Zay Jones (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He played through this issue last week and shouldn’t be limited today.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (chest) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He played through this issue last week and should be fine for this one. But check back around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure Jones is active.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Falcons will start QB Desmond Ridder in Week 15, after this week's bye. The 3rd-round rookie has yet to play a snap this year, with veteran QB Marcus Mariota piloting Atlanta to its current 5-8 record. The Falcons rank a decent 15th in scoring but just 28th in total yards. It's likely a 4-game trial for Ridder to help the franchise know whether it needs to prioritize QB early in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft. It's tough to bet on strong fantasy stats from Ridder in his 1st NFL action. But he was an efficient college passer (87 TDs, 28 INTs) and effective runner (2,180 yards, 28 TDs rushing career). Ridder should be claimed where available in 2-QB and superflex leagues.

Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) is not listed on the Week 14 injury report. So he'll be back for Sunday's game vs. the Bills -- and should be at least close to 100%. The question now becomes how touches will be divvied in this backfield. HC Robert Saleh said Wednesday that RB Zonovan Knight is "not going anywhere," so expect him to remain significantly involved. RBs Ty Johnson and/or James Robinson also might continue to mix in. It's a messy situation and a tough matchup this weekend.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury expressed "optimism" about WR Greg Dortch's chances of returning from his thumb injury for Monday night's game vs. the Patriots, according to insider Darren Urban. Kingsbury reportedly didn't sound optimistic about WR Rondale Moore's status for that one. If Moore is out and Dortch in, Dortch will be a viable WR3 or flex play in PPR leagues.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones caught just 2 of 7 targets for 16 yards in Sunday's blowout loss at Detroit. He committed multiple drops, coming off a game that set career highs in targets, receptions and receiving yards. He and the Jags face Tennessee in Week 14.

Seahawks RB DeeJay Dallas is doubtful to return to Sunday's game vs. the Rams with an ankle injury. With RB Kenneth Walker out with his own ankle injury, Seattle is down to RB Tony Jones.

Update: Dallas surprisingly returned in the 2nd half.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (chest) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. He was limited in practice all week, but we never heard any concern about his status for this one.

Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Vikings. RBs Zonovan Knight, Ty Johnson and James Robinson are active. We’re expecting Knight to lead the 3-man committee, making him a decent RB3 or flex play.

Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings. He didn’t practice all week and should obviously be on fantasy benches. Carter’s absence would leave New York’s backfield to Zonovan Knight, James Robinson and Ty Johnson. Knight would be the best bet for touches and a viable RB3 or flex play in fantasy.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (chest) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. We’ve heard nothing to suggest that Jones is in danger of missing this one, but check back around 11:30 am ET on Sunday for Jacksonville’s inactives.

Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Vikings this weekend, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He reportedly has a low-ankle sprain that isn't considered serious, but Carter is certainly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. His absence would leave rookie Zonovan Knight as New York's likely lead back, with Ty Johnson and James Robinson behind him.

Jets RB Michael Carter has been diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, HC Robert Saleh said Monday. It's not considered a long-term injury, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Carter's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings is uncertain, though. We'll monitor his status throughout the week.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray threw for 191 yards and 2 TDs (plus an INT) in Sunday's return from 2 games lost to a hamstring injury. He added 56 yards and a TD on 7 carries. Murray now gets a Week 13 bye and then a fairly neutral closing schedule -- with the highlight a Week 17 trip to Atlanta.

Cardinals RB James Conner rushed 25 times for 120 yards (4.8 per carry) in Sunday's narrow loss to the Chargers. He added 3 catches for 20 yards and a TD among 3 targets. Keaontay Ingram claimed the only 2 other RB carries, while Corey Clement drew the only other RB target. Conner now gets a Week 13 bye and then a tough trio of RB-scoring matchups.

Jets HC Robert Saleh said after Sunday's win over the Bears that RB Michael Carter has a sprained ankle but that the severity isn't yet known. We should have a better idea of Carter's status by the end of Monday.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones set career highs with 14 targets, 11 catches and 145 yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens. It was just the 2nd 100-yard game ever for Jones, who added a 2-point conversion catch near the end of regulation for the game-winning points. WR Christian Kirk ranked 2nd on the team with 9 targets but caught just 4 for 46 yards. RB JaMycal Hasty and WR Jamal Agnew tied for 2nd on the team with 5 receptions apiece. Hasty, Agnew and WR Marvin Jones Jr. caught QB Trevor Lawrence's 3 TD passes. The next 2 weeks bring upside passing matchups with the Lions and Titans.

Jets RB Michael Carter suffered an ankle injury in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears and is officially doubtful to return. With RB James Robinson scratched, New York is down to RBs Zonovan Knight and Ty Johnson.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (thumb) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. With WR Rondale Moore (groin) also out, Arizona is down to WRs DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson and Andre Baccellia.
