With Daniels Jones sidelined from a torn Achilles, Philip Rivers will have a workout with the Colts.
The Colts suffered 2 dramatic losses on Sunday. One to the division rival Jaguars to the tune of 36-19 and also in the form of starting quarterback Daniel Jones tearing his Achilles to end his season.
With the Colts fighting to salvage what was a promising start to their season, they will bring in Philip Rivers for a visit and workout tomorrow. The NC State and Chargers legend had a one year stint with the Colts in 2020 where they made the playoffs. Should Rivers play Sunday, that would be a dramatic boost all things considered. If Rivers can still sling it, fantasy gamers can hope Rivers will buoy the Colts weapons ala Jameis Winston and Joe Flacco.
UPDATE: Philip Rivers has signed with the Colts and could play as soon as this Sunday against the Seahawks.

In a shocking turn around Vikings quarterback McCarthy has a massive bounce back to blow out the injury plagued Washington Commanders 31-0
JJ McCarthy has his best game yet in his short career after completing 16 of 23 pass attempts for 163 yards and 3 passing touchdowns. That is good for QB9 this week heading into Monday Night Football. Talk about simplifying the offense has seemed to work for McCarthy, although the Commanders defense is one of the league’s worse.
JJ McCarthy has not been a starting fantasy nor good enough to be an actual starting quarterback. If simplifying the offense can help him take advantage of the Vikings offensive weapons, then maybe he will be a superflex worthy option in the fantasy playoffs. That is not a guarantee, hopefully he can actually get the ball to star wide reciever Justin Jefferson.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. finishes as tight end 1 overall in Week 14.
The Cleveland Browns fell to the Tennessee Titans in their Week 14 matchup, highlighted by a rookie quarterback showdown between Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. Ward ultimately came out on top, but Sanders still delivered a historic performance. The Browns rookie became the first Day 3 quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 300 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, and added a rushing touchdown in the same game.
Sanders showed a clear connection with fellow rookie Harold Fannin Jr., who erupted for 8 receptions on 11 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown. The breakout performance makes Fannin the TE 1 of the week, and he’s quickly positioning himself as a must-start option for fantasy mangers moving forward heading into fantasy playoffs.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has his third wide receiver 1 finish in four weeks.
The Green Bay Packers took down division rival Chicago Bears in their first meeting of the season, powered by a strong performance from Jordan Love. The young quarterback tossed three touchdowns, with two of them going to Christian Watson, who continues his late season surge.
Watson delivered his third WR 1 finish in the last four weeks, firmly establishing himself as Love’s go to option since returning from his ACL injury. Despite the breakout, he’s still available in 31% of leagues, making him a must-add waiver pickup as fantasy managers gear up for the playoffs.

After a lethargic first half, the Seattle Seahawks’ offense erupts to score 31 in the second half and pummel the Atlanta Falcons
Are you not entertained!? Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Sam Darnold connect on seven receptions, for 92 yards and two touchdowns, as the Seahawks take flight in the second half and lay a beatdown on the Atlanta Falcons.
Njigba bounced back in a big way as he gave managers a dud in Week 13. He scored his first touchdown of the day in the third quarter, catching a pass through the middle and going into the endzone uncontested. Later in the fourth quarter, he saw a quick four-yard pass for the score. He is currently the wide receiver three on the week heading into the Sunday Nighter.

Good news for the Cincinnati Bengals as No. 2 wideout Tee Higgins has cleared concussion protocol in time for Sunday
From the banks of the Ohio, the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) take a long trip up north to visit Buffalo in a cold-weather AFC tussle with Josh Allen and the Bills (8-4).
There is no love lost between the AFC’s two perennial bridesmaids as Joe Burrow and Allen are always “must-see TV.” The Bengals are currently trying to win every game in front of them to make a mad dash for the playoffs, just as they did a year ago. They rattled off five straight victories (three versus playoff teams) but fell a half-game short when Kansas City rested their starters against Denver.
Fast forward to now, and Cincinnati has an identical 4-8 record, but is coming off a sound beatdown of division-foe Baltimore. The Buffalo Bills are currently 5-1 playing at home, so it stands to reason that Cincinnati’s skill positions need to be in prime shape. Good news in that form came mid-week, when it was announced that Tee Higgins had cleared concussion protocol after sitting out Week 13. The Bengals will need all the help they can get against the Bills, who are still chasing first in the AFC East. Higgins is invaluable across from Ja’Marr Chase and is the last missing piece since Burrow and Samaje Perine returned.
Fantasy lowdown: Don’t expect any hitch in Tee’s “giddy-up.” The wide receiver carries with him a 40/575/7 line this season, and he’ll need to come up big against a strong Buffalo secondary. His return affects nothing else fantasy-wise aside from a bump for both Burrow and Chase and a return to fantasy irrelevance for Andre Iosivas.
