The Ravens are waiving RB Mike Davis, paving the way for RB J.K. Dobbins, who will be activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Davis underwent surgery to remove scar tissue from his knee in November but is now ready to roll this week. Early on, we could see a committee between Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Kenyan Drake. All look like low-end flex plays at best against the Steelers.

Chargers WR Mike Williams is not listed on the team’s injury report today and is now poised to play Sunday night vs. the Dolphins.

Related Players: Keenan Allen, DeAndre Carter, Josh Palmer

Williams' return will eat into Keenan Allen's ceiling but both should be in starting lineups for Week 14. Josh Palmer can now be considered a low-end WR3 while DeAndre Carter is back off of the fantasy radar.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

The RB1 Samaje Perine weeks are over for now, but Cincinnati is faced with a fantastic matchup against Cleveland this week. Both he and Mixon are fantasy viable in Week 14.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd

Higgins can safely be fired up as a WR2 option while Ja'Marr Chase remains a fantasy WR1 regardless of the health of his teammates. Tyler Boyd can be plugged in as a Flex option, though his floor is closer to a fantasy WR4.

Chargers’ WR Mike Williams was upgraded from limited participant in practice Wednesday to full participant today.

Williams' return will eat into Keenan Allen's ceiling but they will both be fantasy viable should he return in full. Palmer and Carter can be considered afterthoughts again.

Taylor Heinicke couldn’t lead the Commanders to a win over the Giants last Sunday and the offense hasn’t scored more than 20 points in any of their last three games, but they had won five of six before that 20-20 tie and they remain in good shape in the fight for a playoff spot in the NFC. That’s enough for Rivera to stick with Heinicke once Carson Wentz is back on the active roster.

“I feel comfortable with Taylor,” Rivera said, via Peter Hailey of NBCSportsWashington.com. “When Carson’s activated, he’ll be the primary backup and we’ll go from there.”

The Commanders have a bye in Week 14 and that gives the team a chance to take some stock of where things stand in various areas but head coach Ron Rivera said that he likes what he sees at quarterback right now. Heinicke has thrown five interceptions in seven starts, but Wentz was even less protective of the ball and wide receiver Terry McLaurin‘s production has spiked with Heinicke at quarterback, the story all said.

Per Hobson, Zac (Taylor) says Joe Mixon has chance to clear concussion protocol and says Hayden Hurst (calf) is doubtful this week.

Related Players: Mitchell Wilcox, Devin Asiasi

Just what the tight end position in fantasy needs is one less viable option, but here we are. Hurst has been having a marginal fantasy season on a whole, but was the TE13 on the season heading into Week 13. Mitchell Wilcox was the only other tight to earn a target last week, but Devin Asiasi was selected by the Patriots in the third round of the 2020 draft as an athletic passing game weapon. He would be the choice for deep, TE Premium leagues.
