  • Ryan Tannehill QB | TEN

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: ACL injury feared

    The Dolphins believe that Tannehill tore his ACL on Sunday against the Cardinals, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

    Per the report, Tannehill is slated to undergo an MRI to determine if there is any additional damage to his knee, but at this stage, it looks like the QB's season is probably over and that the team will turn to veteran signal-caller Matt Moore down the stretch.

  • Sam Bradford QB | MIN

    Vikings' Sam Bradford: Throws for touchdown in win

    Bradford completed 24 of 34 passes for 292 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's win over Jacksonville. He added 17 yards on the ground.

    The Vikings' offense was quiet for much of the game until two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second of which was a three-yard roll-out pass to tight end Kyle Rudolph. Sunday was Bradford's sixth consecutive game completing at least 70 percent of his passes, but his consistent accuracy hasn't yielded big returns from a fantasy perspective. In those six games, Bradford has thrown for 250 yards just three times and more than a single touchdown just once as Minnesota has leaned heavily on its defense to get by.

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Serious knee injury feared

    Though the Dolphins have not yet provided details regarding the knee injury Tannehill suffered Sunday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald relays that one source told him that the QB's injury is "serious."

    We'll continue to track Tannehill's status in the coming days, but if his injury is indeed significant, the 8-5 Dolphins would be forced turn to veteran signal-caller Matt Moore down the stretch.

  • Tyrod Taylor QB | GB

    Bills' Tyrod Taylor: Sacked five times Sunday

    Taylor completed 15 of 25 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He also added just two yards rushing on three carries.

    Taylor was forced to lead the Bills' offense from behind for a majority of Sunday's contest while Pittsburgh controlled the clock. Taylor's 15.2 yards per completion to go along with two scores salvaged his fantasy production, but offensive line struggles provided limitations on his upside as he got sacked five times. He used running back LeSean McCoy often as his safety valve, connecting on six occasions for 81 yards. Taylor will have a favorable matchup next week against the struggling Browns.

    Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Hurts knee Sunday

    Tannehill left Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a left knee injury.

    Tannehill was able to head to the locker room on his own steam, but he was limping some, which suggests that he may not able to return to Sunday's game. Matt Moore has taken over at QB for the Dolphins while Tannehill gets his knee checked out further.

  • Tom Savage QB | DET

    Texans' Tom Savage: Inactive in Week 14 versus Colts

    Savage (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's Week 14 tilt versus the Colts, the team's official site reports.

    Savage's status is somewhat of a surprise, given that he'd been expected to be able to successfully achieve an active designation earlier in the week. In his stead, veteran Brandon Weeden will be available to step in for starter Brock Osweiler should the need arise.

  • Trevor Siemian QB | ATL

    Broncos' Trevor Siemian: Set to play Sunday

    Siemian (foot) is listed as active Sunday against the Titans and slated to start at QB for the Broncos, per ESPN's Jeff Legwold.

    After giving way to Paxton Lynch in Week 13, Siemian -- who has been dealing with a sprained left foot -- is back in uniform Sunday and set to give it a go. While it's fair to wonder how much the QB's mobility might be affected by the issue, Legwold noted that Siemian displayed "good mobility" and threw "on the move a bit as well" during pre-game warmups.

  • Trevor Siemian QB | ATL

    Broncos' Trevor Siemian: Expected to start Sunday versus Titans

    Siemian (foot) is expected to start Sunday against the Titans, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Siemian ceded starting duties to Paxton Lynch in last week's victory over Jacksonville due to a sprained left foot, but split reps with the rookie in practice this week with hope that his one-game absence didn't evolve into a multi-week vacation. Considering Siemian appears to have avoided any and all setbacks thus far, he should be under center come kickoff.

  • Jameis Winston QB | NYG

    Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Credited with overcoming barrage of WR injuries

    In the eyes of offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Winston's confidence and work ethic has helped carry the offense through the Bucs' recent barrage of receiver injuries, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. "That confidence gets developed every day after practice, every day that gets developed," Monken said. "A lot of those guys that were in the game had run routes with Jameis before and had a pretty good rapport, because they've put in the time and Jameis is out there leading that ... There's not a lack of confidence from Jameis ... he spreads the ball around as good as I've been around."

    Monken was specifically commenting on Winston's stellar effort against the Chargers in Week 13 after losing both Cecil Shorts (knee) and Adam Humphries (concussion) in the first half, but his assessment is fitting for the second-year signal caller's overall body of work this season. Factoring in the since-released Louis Murphy, who never got on the field this season after an October 2015 ACL tear, Winston has seen a total of five pass catchers either exit the roster or miss time in 2016, with two of them -- Vincent Jackson and Shorts -- out for the season. However, the 2015 first-round pick's willingness to put in extra reps with all of the receivers on the roster has paid off given how thin the position has gotten, since Winston has developed some degree of rapport with each. That most recently manifested itself against the Chargers, when former practice squad wideout Freddie Martino seamlessly stepped in after Shorts and Humphries were sidelined and hauled in four receptions for 56 yards. Similarly, Winston has put in extra time this week with the just-promoted Josh Huff, who is expected to be active for the first time in a Bucs uniform in what could be a high-scoring affair against the Saints this coming Sunday. Winston's ability to consistently spread the ball around has also led to a career season for tight end Cameron Brate, who's become a legitimate red zone threat, and has helped the offense become somewhat less dependent on No.1 receiver Mike Evans

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Packers' Aaron Rodgers: No injury designation

    Rodgers (hamstring) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Rodgers was a limited participant throughout practice this week to ensure his hamstring is rested for Sunday's contest, when unlike last week's questionable tag, he enters without any concern over his status.
