John Ross (shoulder) has been placed on Injured Reserve.

Ross, the ninth overall pick in last spring’s draft, battled injuries this season before landing in the dog house a few weeks ago. He appeared in just three games, and he received on touch on an end around, which he fumbled and lost. A new regime could very well be on the way in Cincinnati, and Ross would do well to have an offensive coach that would make getting the ball in his hands a point of emphasis. Though he had a disappointing rookie season, Ross has the ability to be a stud receiver for the Bengals. He’s still a very strong hold in dynasty leagues, and he could be a breakout player in his second NFL season in 2018.

Dion Lewis (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 14.

An illness popped up for Lewis, and he was only able to get in a limited practice as his only participation this week. We would expect him to be OK and ready to go on Monday night, but make sure you check in and have a backup plan in case Lewis does not play.

Joe Mixon remains in concussion protocol.

This isn’t a surprise, as Mixon just suffered his concussion a couple nights ago. Hopefully he’s feeling better and able to get cleared soon.

Chris Hogan (shoulder) is questionable for Monday night.

Hogan was able to get in three limited participation this week after not practicing in each of the last four weeks after the team’s Week 9 bye week, so he’s at least making progress and appears to have a shot at playing this week. However, the Patriots are unlikely to offer much of an update ahead of Monday night, so you’ll need to have a backup option from that game if you’re planning on inserting Hogan into your lineup. If active, Hogan would immediately be a good option in fantasy lineups, as he’s in one of the league’s best offenses with Tom Brady throwing to him.

Ameer Abdullah (neck) was limited in today’s practice.

Abdullah might be in a rush to return to action, as the backfield performed well in his absence last week. We expect him to return this week, but a full practice would be great to see for the dynamic back.

Greg Olsen (foot) is questionable for Week 14.

All indications are Olsen will play on Sunday against the Vikings—and without limitations—but he’s still listed on the injury report heading into the weekend. Just be sure to check back on Sunday for Olsen’s status. Luckily, the Panthers play in the early games, so we’ll know Olsen’s official status by 11:30 AM ET Sunday.

Amari Cooper (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 14.

An ESPN report emerged this morning, stating Cooper was unlikely to play on Sunday against the Chiefs. But a limited participation in practice today might indicate otherwise. This is a huge AFC West matchup between Oakland and Kansas City, and Cooper is probably going to do everything he can to get out there for his team. Luckily, the game is an early 1:00 PM ET game on Sunday, so fantasy owners will know by 11:30 AM ET if Cooper will be playing or not.
