The Dolphins promoted Isaiah Ford to the active roster.

The 2017 seventh-round pick is joining the 53-man roster as a corresponding move with Jakeem Grant officially being placed on injured reserve. Ford has upside, but he’s not a recommended fantasy pickup yet.

A.J. Green (toe) says he’s “back to play” this week.

Geoff Hobson of the team’s official site says Green was on the field for walk-through today, and it sounds like the Pro Bowl receiver is going to push through this toe injury even if he’s not back at 100%. The previous optimism about Green’s status was basically media-asserted, but this time we’re hearing it from Green himself. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes, but expect Green to be on the field against the Broncos this Sunday. With a new quarterback (Jeff Driskel) under-center, consider Green more of a WR2 option in his first game back in the lineup.

Cody Latimer has been activated off injured reserve.

Latimer injured his hamstring in October, but he’s returning and could slot right back in as New York’s No. 3 receiver. That said, the team might want an extended look at Corey Coleman down the stretch, and there isn’t much fantasy value in the low-volume role on an offense centered around Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr.

Leonard Fournette’s one-game suspension was upheld.

Appeals officer James Trash affirmed the suspension, which was fully expected. Fournette squared up and started a fight with Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson right in front of fans during Sunday’s loss, and now he’ll officially miss Week 13 against the Colts. This is a big blow to fantasy owners relying on their workhorse running back in the final week of the fantasy regular season (for most), and it’ll be Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon handling the load in Jacksonville’s backfield this weekend. They’re both in the FLEX mix.

The Seahawks waived Keenan Reynolds.

Reynolds was on the 53-man roster after getting called up from the practice squad, so he might find his way back to Seattle’s practice squad if he clears waivers. The former Navy quarterback is not a fantasy option right now.

The Panthers officially placed Damiere Byrd (broken arm) on injured reserve.

Byrd unfortunately suffered another broken arm in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks, and his season is over. The dynamic 25-year-old had just one reception on the season and mostly contributed as a returner, so he wasn’t on fantasy rosters. Byrd should be 100% by the offseason.

The Broncos have promoted Temarrick Hemingway to the active roster.

Hemingway replaces Jeff Heuerman (ribs), who was placed on injured reserve. A sixth-round pick of the Rams in 2016, Hemingway signed with Denver’s practice squad a couple months ago, and he will now look to make an impact for the playoff-hopeful Broncos. The 25-year-old is unlikely to become a fantasy contributor.
