Allen Robinson II (groin) did not practice today.

We didn’t notice Robinson sustain any injury on Sunday night, so hopefully this is just a precaution. Keep in min Robinson missed time with a groin injury last month, though. We’ll track his practice status leading up to Week 15.

Rob Gronkowski scores against the Dolphins.

Gronkowski caught eight passes (on eight targets) for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots’ Week 14 loss, with the score coming on a 16-yard corner route where he went up and caught the ball between a couple of defenders by the front of the end zone. This was the All-Pro tight end’s best all-around game since Week 1, and it’s his second touchdown in the last three games. He appears to be heating up and feeling more like himself just in time for the fantasy playoffs. At the end of the game, Gronkowski was in as a deep defender to stop any Hail Mary pass from the Dolphins, but he ended up one-on-one with the very-dynamic Kenyan Drake in the open field—a battle that Drake unsurprisingly won to give the Dolphins the victory as time expired. It was an incredibly tough spot for Gronkowski and didn’t affect his fantasy output, but it’s just worth noting. Gronk will be a high-end TE1 for Week 15 against the Steelers.

Mike Davis handles four touches in win over the Vikings.

Davis rushed three times for 22 yards, also adding a five-yard reception. The Seahawks pounded it with Chris Carson (22 attempts) for the most part, and Davis has settled in as the clear No. 3 back that probably needs a shootout to provide fantasy value. Seattle takes on San Francisco in Week 15.

Jordan Akins caught two passes for 40 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Colts.

Akins was able to outproduce fellow rookie Jordan Thomas (31 yards), but Ryan Griffin (80 yards) ended up leading the team in receiving. Fantasy owners should avoid the Houston tight ends if possible in Week 15.

DeSean Jackson (thumb) remains out of practice.

Jackson doesn’t seem likely to return this season, so you can assume he’s not practicing until we indicate otherwise. The veteran receiver obviously doesn’t need to be owned in fantasy leagues right now.

Rex Burkhead gets five touches against the Dolphins.

Burkhead had four carries for two yards and one reception for three yards in the Patriots’ Week 14 loss. Burkhead hasn’t been able to get much going with his touches since returning to the lineup, and he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option for the second week of the fantasy playoffs next week against the Steelers.

Adam Thielen catches five passes against the Seahawks.

Thielen gained 70 yards on his five receptions and added one carry for eight yards in the Vikings’ Monday night loss. He was quiet for most of the game, but he came alive for some solid yardage with the Vikings in comeback mode down the entire game. Thielen crossed the 100-reception mark in the loss, along with crossing the 1,200-yard mark for the second consecutive season. Keep him locked into fantasy lineups for the second week of the fantasy playoffs when he faces the Dolphins in Week 15.
