Rob Gronkowski’s one-game suspension has been upheld.

Appeals officer Derrick Brooks upheld Gronkowski’s suspension for his unnecessary late hit on Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White in Sunday’s game. Gronk will miss Monday night’s Week 14 matchup with the Dolphins, which is obviously a big blow to fantasy owners. The All-Pro tight end should be more than ready to go in Week 15 against Pittsburgh.

Wayne Gallman (hip) is off the injury report.

The rookie running back is ready to go this Sunday against the Cowboys. Teammate Orleans Darkwa is listed as questionable with an illness, so it’s possible Gallman leads the backfield this week. He’d be in the FLEX conversation if Darkwa is out.

C.J. Fiedorowicz (concussion) has been placed on Injured Reserve.

This is something you don’t want to see, as this is now the second time just this season that Fiedorowicz has been placed on IR because of concussions. His season ends with 14 receptions for 127 yards in five games. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old tight end might need to strongly consider retirement because of these multiple concussions.

Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 14.

Shepard is shaping up as a true game-time call for the Giants this Sunday. Ideally, you’ll have stronger options for your lineup for the first week of the fantasy playoffs, but Shepard’s status will be known by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

The Texans placed Bruce Ellington (hamstring) on Injured Reserve.

Texans head coach Bill O’Brien indicated the hamstring injury Ellington suffered wasn’t a mild one, and is season is now over. With only four games to go, this wasn’t a surprise with the Texans all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Ellington had a solid season while stepping up as an option behind DeAndre Hopkins in the receiving group, as he caught 29 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns. He’ll be a free agent this offseason, but Ellington is someone the Texans would probably like to bring back.

Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) is questionable for Week 14.

While he’s officially questionable for the game, we fully expect him to be out there against the Jets. Sanders has been battling through the ankle injury for a few weeks, so this Sunday should be no different. The Broncos do play in the late-afternoon games this week, though, so you’ll have to have a backup plan in case Sanders ends up being inactive.

Jordan Matthews (knee) has been placed on Injured Reserve.

Matthews has been battling a knee injury—one that forced him to miss Week 11—for a while now, and the Bills decided to just place him on IR because he hasn’t been effective while battling through it. Matthews’ injury-plagued season with Buffalo ends with 25 receptions for 282 yards and one touchdown. The fourth-year receiver, who spent his first three seasons with the Eagles, will be a free agent this offseason; but he unfortunately might struggle to get the type of long-term deal he would’ve gotten based off his first three seasons in the NFL. It’ll be interesting to see where Matthews lands and the type of contract he’ll receive this spring.
