Moore, andTyreek Hill, ; for the latest on hurting TEsDallas Goedert,Darren Waller, andHayden Hurst, ; for news on more injured players, includingDamien Harris,Courtland Sutton, andTreylon

Sterling Brown Jersey Lovie Smith said Monday that he's "unsure" of Pierce's status for Week 15, but he added, "it will take an awful lot for him not to play."UPDATE 2:NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported Tuesday that Pierce will mi s Week 15 and likely Week 16 due to a "mild" high-ankle sprain. With Houston waiving Eno Benjamin, it's likely that Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale will split RB touches in Pierce's absence.Pierce (ankle) exited Houston's 27-23 lo s to Dallas in the fourth quarter and later returned to game action. However, Pierce wasn't on the field during Houston's late fourth-quarter goal-to-go po se sion, and the team opted to go with Rex Burkhead instead.According to the , head coach Lovie Smith said Pierce couldn't push off his ankle, which eliminated him as an optionon that final po se sion. to determine the severity of the injury, but there's hope it's not a long-term one. More news to come, but Pierce will likely be hit with a "questionable" tag ahead of Houston's Week 15 home
Jeff Green Jersey tilt against Kansas City. Burkhead and Eno Benjamin would likely split carries if Pierce is out, but Dare Ogunbowale could be in the mix, too. If at all po sible, avoid this me s, but Burkhead and Benjamin would be worth adding in deep leagues.WEEK 15 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Jacobs (finger) left Las Vegas' Week 14 matchup to get his pinkie finger popped back into place and was able to return even though the injury clearly continued to bother him. Jacobs was set to undergo further tests last weekend, but nothing has been reported about his status.Seeing Jacobs return to the game is a good sign for his potential Week 15 availability, as the Raiders can ill-afford to
Moses Malone Jersey be without their bell-cow running back. Jacobs could pop up on the team's Week 15 injury report if he fails to practice in the early week, but, for now, we expect Jacobs to suit up against New England this Sunday. If Jacobs is a surprise inactive, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah would likely split the backfield duties. White would have more value in standard leagues, while Abdullah would likely handle the bulk of the pa sing-down work. Given the matchup, both should be avoided in most leagues, but they're still worth picking up in deep leagues.WEEK 15 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | UPDATE:Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel that Wilson Jr. "avoided the worst-case scenario" with his hip injury and is considered "day to day."Wilson Jr. (hip) exited early in Miami's Week 14 lo s to the Chargers and was unable to return. In Wilson Jr.'s absence, Raheem Mostert a sumed the bulk of the backfield duties, playing on 73 percent of the Dolphins' offensive snaps.Expect Mostert to garner a large workload should Wilson Jr. mi s Miami's Week 15 contest against Buffalo. We'll get a better feel for Wilson's Week
Thabo Sefolosha Jersey 15 prospects as the week progre ses, but as things currently stand, there's a good chance Wilson mi ses this upcoming week.
