“I think [Rashaad Penny] deserves a shot to show that, to start it out,” Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “We’ll still rotate to keep you guys fresh, but yeah, we’re gonna give him a shot again to come right on back and see if we can keep going.”

Finally healthy, Penny got the start against the Texans last Sunday and he made the most of it by running 16 times for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Carson is dealing with neck issues, with lots of questions surrounding his future, so the Seahawks could be looking for their future RB1.

The Lions are “hopeful” to get T.J. Hockenson and D’Andre Swift back, and Dan Campbell says they felt better today, but they’re still day-to-day.

Hockenson is dealing with a hand issue and Swift a shoulder injury. The Lions aren't likely to push either player to return with another lost season at hand. If Swift can't go and Williams is still out, it could be another combo of Jefferson, Igwebuike, and Reynolds at running back. The team said Jefferson didn't get much time because he was out of practice with a sickness leading up to the game. It's possible he would get more work in Week 15, which would really complicate the RB workload.

Matt Rhule said WR D.J. Moore suffered a hamstring pull in the game on Sunday & is day-to-day.

Moore finished with 10 targets catching six for 84 yards against the Falcons. The loss to Atlanta was a big blow to any playoff hopes for Carolina so there may not be a lot of incentive to rush back Moore as this point. Anderson led the way with 12 targets and a 7-84-1 line while Zylstra added a 4-45-0 line. It's possible rookie Marshall could be more of a factor but he didn't draw a target despite being active in Week 14.

Chargers HC Brandon Staley expects WR Keenan Allen to play Thursday vs. Chiefs barring any setbacks.

This game was in doubt as well after Allen was placed on the list early last week. The Bolts Week 15 game is a Thursday night contest at home against the Chiefs that has huge implications for the AFC West Division.

Adrian Peterson and Travis Homer are already ruled out for Sunday’s contest against the lowly Houston Texans. This leaves Penny and Collins to handle the backfield work for Seattle as they look to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Pete Carroll alluded to feeding the hot hand for this matchup against the worst run defense in the NFL. Expect both Penny and Collins to settle in as FLEX plays for Week 14.

Seahawks RB Adrian Peterson (back) will not play Week 14 at Houston. RB Travis Homer (calf) will also miss the game.

Look for Alex Collins and Rashaad Penny to carry the load for Seattle.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen will miss Week 14's game against the New York Giants because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Williams is on the right track to play Week 14, which would go a long way to keep the Chargers from depending on two unproven wideouts.

Lions RB Jamaal Williams was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will miss Week 14's game in Denver. RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is also out, while TE T.J. Hockensen (hand) is doubtful.

Related Players: Jermar Jefferson, Brock Wright

So your Lions starters at RB and TE will be Jermar Jefferson and Brock Wright, respectively. Remember when Mike Glennon was the worst fantasy option Week 14?

Lions HC Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is unlikely to play Week 14 at Denver.

With the Lions season clearly going nowhere, there is no need to rush back Swift against one of the better run defenses in the NFL.
