Isaac Guerendo

SF Running Back #31

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Isaac Guerendo (foot) did not practice on Tuesday.

It’s looking likely that Patrick Taylor will be leading the 49ers backfield against the Rams on Thursday Night Football. Guerendo’s official status will be out tomorrow, but the tenor of the Kyle Shanahan saying they’d evaluate him and this DNP are pointing to him missing Week 15. He’ll need a Wednesday turnaround to get to the questionable line.
Trey Lance

DAL Quarterback #19

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, asked about starting Trey Lance at some point over the next four games, said “I don’t think so.”

“I thought for the most part we did some good things out there, I still believe [Cooper Rush] gives us our best chance,” Jones added. Lance is counting down the final days of his rookie contract. He’ll probably get another backup job somewhere next year, and he’s still only 25, but it’s hard to spin “not being able to beat out Cooper Rush” as a positive on the open market.
Zamir White

LV Running Back #3

Raiders placed RB Zamir White (quad) on injured reserve.

It will end his third season in the NFL. White was mostly the lead back for the first month of the year before fading into the background, he finished with a 65/183/1 rushing line. The uncertain future of the Raiders’ coaching staff and front office leaves White’s dynasty value in a tenuous place entering the final year of his rookie contract. He hasn’t taken advantage of the few opportunities he’s had this year.
George Pickens

PIT Wide Receiver #14

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said George Pickens (hamstring) has an “outside chance” to play in Week 15.

Tomlin on Tuesday said Pickens’ hamstring injury — suffered during last Thursday’s practice — was more serious than first thought. “But when we got to the stadium, it was evident that maybe the circumstance was maybe a little more significant than we had hoped,” Tomlin said. “So, we made the prudent decision in terms of shutting him down and not allowing a small problem to become a bigger one.” It would appear that Pickens will miss at least one more game, and possibly more as the Steelers make their way toward a postseason berth. Mike Williams and Scotty Miller led the team with four targets last week against the Browns with Pickens sidelined as the Steelers dropped back on just 47 percent of their offensive snaps.
DeMarvion Overshown

DAL Linebacker #13

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said LB DeMarvion Overshown will require knee surgery.

Overshown suffered what appeared to be a major knee injury on Monday night against the Bengals and will miss the remainder of the season. It could be a devastating setback for Overshown, who missed his entire rookie season with an ACL injury. The explosive linebacker — among the best Dallas defenders — finishes 2024 with five sacks, an interceptions, and three pass breakups. He had 13 QB pressures over his final four games of the season. Mike McCarthy suggested at his Tuesday presser that because of the timing of the injury, Overshown might not play in 2025.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Joe Burrow said he’s “confident” Tee Higgins will remain with the Bengals in 2025 and beyond.

Burrow said after the Bengals’ Monday night win over the Cowboys that he would do what it takes to retain Higgins, who is slated to be a free agent at the end of the 2024 season. Higgins is sure to draw top dollar from a handful of wideout-needy teams intrigued by his (often untapped) upside. Higgins had been on a heater headed into Week 14, with 377 yards and three touchdowns over his previous four games. He cooled off Monday night with just two grabs for 23 scoreless yards. That Burrow is apparently willing to adjust how own contract to keep Higgins in Cincinnati could mean Burrow, Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase get another few seasons together as the centerpiece of the Bengals’ high-octane offense.
Jake Ferguson

DAL Tight End #87

Jake Ferguson caught 3-of-6 targets for 32 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss to the Bengals.

Ferguson’s six targets finished second on the team behind alpha wide receiver CeeDee Lamb on a night quarterback Cooper Rush targeted 11 different pass-catchers on 31 pass attempts. Ferguson continues to operate as a near every-down tight end but has yet to establish any chemistry with backup quarterback Cooper Rush. His next opportunity to return a usable fantasy score comes on the road against the Panthers in Week 15.
CeeDee Lamb

DAL Wide Receiver #88

CeeDee Lamb caught 6-of-7 targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboy’s Week 14 loss to the Bengals, adding one yards on his lone carry.

Lamb got the Cowboys on the board on an 11-yard touchdown reception on fourth down half way through the first quarter. He would go on to be targeted heavily on the team’s next two possessions before landing hard on his injured shoulder. He would take himself out of the game for the following plays before gutting out the injury the rest of the way. Lamb’s season has gone the way of his team, with injuries seeming insurmountable on the offensive side of the ball. Up next for Lamb and the Cowboys are the Panthers on the road in Week 15.
Rico Dowdle

DAL Running Back #23

Rico Dowdle rushed 18 times for 131 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss to the Bengals, adding 10 yards on this lone reception.

Dowdle set career-highs in rushing in consecutive games after his 112 yards a week ago. He has also seen 20 or more running back opportunities in three straight games after doing so just once in his first nine contests, finally giving the Cowboys a hint of dependability on the ground. Dowdle gets another solid matchup on the ground against the Panthers in Week 15.
Cooper Rush

DAL Quarterback #10

Cooper Rush completed 16-of-31 passes for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Cowboys’ 27-20, Week 14 loss to the Bengals, adding five yards on two carries.

Rush and the Cowboys played the Bengals close throughout at home, eventually forcing a 17-17 tie in third quarter before taking a fourth quarter lead with a field goal. The Bengals would answer on the following possession to knot the game at 20 before both teams struggled to move the football for the remainder of the game. That is, until the Cowboys blocked a punt with under two minutes to play, only for a defender to touch the ball beyond the line of scrimmage and for the Bengals to recover, giving them a fresh set of downs they would eventually score on. Rush and the Cowboys took the football with just over a minute to play but a failed fourth down conversion sealed their fate. Dallas falls to 1-6 at home and 5-8 overall before a meeting with the surging Panthers at home in Week 15.
