Odell Beckham Jr. (quad) has been ruled out for Week 15.

This isn’t a surprise after Beckham went outside to get another look at his quad, and the star receiver will miss his second straight game. We’re a bit surprised Beckham hasn’t been able to play through this with the Giants still alive for the playoffs, but this will give the team another opportunity to see how the offense fares without him. Saquon Barkley should be set for another big workload as the clear headliner for Pat Shurmur’s offense against the Titans.

Joshua Dobbs throws one interception in Week 14.

Dobbs started the second half and played deep into the fourth quarter while Ben Roethlisberger dealt with a rib injury. The second-year quarterback was 4/9 for 24 yards and an interception along with two carries for 15 yards. There didn’t seem to be much of a rhythm, which isn’t surprising for an inexperienced quarterback that might not get many practice reps. Roethlisberger should be fine for Week 15.

The Jets have officially activated De’Angelo Henderson to the active roster.

This is a corresponding move to the team placing Isaiah Crowell (toe) on injured reserve. Henderson is a second-year running back that was selected by Denver in the sixth-round last year. He’ll slide in behind Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon and could receive some work over the final three games of the season. Henderson is not a highly-recommended fantasy pickup, though.

C.J. Uzomah caught three passes for 37 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers.

Uzomah brought in all three of his looks, but it was a conservative passing attack as Joe Mixon carried the offense on 31 touches. Fantasy owners can do better in standard 10- or 12-team leagues, but Uzomah remains a low-end TE2 for Week 15 against the Raiders.

Keke Coutee (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 15.

The Texans just announced that Coutee will not be traveling to New York for tomorrow afternoon’s matchup against the Jets. This is the rookie receiver’s third straight missed game with the hamstring injury that’s plagued him for most of the season.

Ben Roethlisberger throws two touchdowns in Steelers’ Week 14 loss.

Roethlisberger was 25/29 for 282 yards and two touchdowns in about 40 minutes of play, as he missed the entire third quarter and about ten minutes of the fourth quarter while dealing with a rib injury suffered at the end of the first half. When he was in the game, it was one of the best games of the season for Roethlisberger, as he put most passes on the money. Both scores were to JuJu Smith-Schuster, including the first one at the end of the first half where JuJu saved Roethlisberger by making a fantastic toe-tapping catch on a high throw when he was wide-open in the back of the end zone. Big Ben might tend to make things dramatic at times, but we doubt he’ll miss Week 15 against the Patriots as Pittsburgh looks to stop its three-game losing streak. Roethlisberger is obviously in the QB1 mix for the matchup.

The Jets are placing Isaiah Crowell (toe) on injured reserve, according to multiple reports.

Second-year running back Elijah McGuire is set to lead the Jets backfield for the final three games of the season, with rookie Trenton Cannon mixing in. Crowell’s season ends with 143 carries for 685 yards and six touchdowns along with 21 receptions for 152 yards in 13 games. Most of his damage came on his 219-yard showing, and the former Brown probably didn’t play as well as his 4.8 yard-per-carry indicates. For 2019, Crowell’s fantasy outlook is very much up in the air, but we don’t expect he’ll lead the Jets backfield.
