Fantasy Impact: Nacua was limited at Wednesday's practice thanks a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 13. He was able to return and finish that game, so we can presume that his injury is minor and that he's likely to play in Week 14. Fantasy managers can feel confident rolling him out as a high-upside flex option, despite having a less-than-ideal matchup against the Ravens on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Higbee left Week 13's game early after suffering a neck injury, and he was unable to practice on Wednesday because of it. He'll have a couple more chances to practice this week, but if he's unable to, his status for Week 14 will be in serious doubt. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the veteran tight end to see whether or not he'll be good to go for this week's game against the Ravens.

Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and is set to play on Sunday. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jefferson has been out for an extended period of time while on IR thanks to a hamstring injury, but he was finally able to log a full practice session on Wednesday. It appears that he's back to full health, and he's reportedly going to be able to make his return for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Fantasy managers can feel confident rolling him out into starting lineups as an elite fantasy option, assuming he's fully cleared ahead of Minnesota's game in Week 14.

Adam Thielen (rest) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Thielen had a veteran rest day on Wednesday and did not participate at practice. He doesn't have an injury of any kind, but Carolina wants to make sure that the 33-year old doesn't get hurt by giving him plenty of time to rest and recover from any bumps and bruises he might have. He should return to practice soon and will likely be a full go for Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.

Hayden Hurst (concussion) was officially limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hurst was able to return to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion after missing the previous three games while in the NFL's concussion protocols. This is a step in the right direction for the veteran, but it doesn't guarantee that he'll take the field against the Saints this week. He hasn't been good from a fantasy standpoint so far this season, so neither his presence nor his absence will have a notable impact on any of Carolina's relevant players.

Kendre Miller (ankle) was a non-participant at practice for the Saints on Wednesday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The rookie has missed the past few games thanks to an ankle injury, and it looks like he could be trending towards missing another on Sunday. He didn't practice on Wednesday, and if he doesn't take the field soon, he will be ruled out for Week 14. If that's the case, Jamaal Williams will continue to get more work for however long Miller remains out.

Jimmy Graham (rest) was absent from practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Graham did not practice on Wednesday as the team granted him a veteran rest day. He should be good to go for Week 14 and will be looking to follow up on the solid performance he had in Week 13 in a loss to the Lions.

Derek Carr (concussion/rib/shoulder) was limited at the Saints' practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Carr is dealing with a trio of injuries that left him limited at practice on Wednesday. He wasn't able to finish the game out in Week 13, but with him already participating this early in the week, it looks like he's going to be cleared in time to play Week 14. That's less than ideal for most of New Orleans' skill position players, who tend to perform better with Jameis Winston at the helm for the team.

Juwan Johnson (quad) was limited at New Orleans' practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Johnson is managing a quad injury that left him limited at practice on Wednesday. It's a minor issue for the big man, and the expectation seems to be that he will be good to go for the team's matchup against the Panthers in Week 14. He hasn't been very good this year and should remain on the waiver wire in most leagues, even if active on Sunday.

Rashid Shaheed (thigh) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ross Jackson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Shaheed missed New Orleans' matchup against the Lions in Week 13 thanks to a thigh injury, and now he's absent from practice for the same reason. He'll have a chance to play this week if he can log a limited practice session sometime within the next couple of days, but that may very well end up not being the case.

D'Andre Swift is not on the injury report for Philadelphia's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Swift got injured in Philadelphia's loss to the 49ers on Sunday, but it appears to have been minor, as he is off of the injury report and carries no designation for Sunday's game. He should be good to go and projects to be a solid RB2, although a tough matchup against the Cowboys lowers his upside.

Dallas Goedert (forearm) logged a full practice session for the Eagles on Wednesday. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Goedert suffered a fractured forearm in Week 9 and has been sidelined ever since, but it looks like he's trending the right direction for Week 14. He was able to log a full practice session on Wednesday, and all reports seem to indicate that his recovery is going well and that he will be back in the near future. If he's back for Sunday night's game, DeVonta Smith's fantasy value will take a bit of a hit in an already tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Julio Jones (groin) was a non-participant at Philadelphia's practice on Wednesday. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran was not able to take the field at practice due to a groin injury that hindered him. He must have suffered it recently, and it could put his status for Week 14 in jeopardy if he doesn't return to practice within the next couple of days. He failed to receive even a single target in Week 13, so his potential absence wouldn't carry any heavy implications for fantasy purposes on Sunday night.

Brandin Cooks (rest) was a limited participant at the Cowboys' practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dallas let Cooks be limited at Wednesday's practice so that they can manage his workload. They don't want the veteran to get injured, especially with a tough matchup against the Eagles coming up on Sunday night. He should be good to go in time and will be worth flex consideration in deeper leagues in Week 14.

Rico Dowdle (ankle) was limited at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dowdle was a limited participant at Dallas' practice on Wednesday because of an ankle issue. It's likely not a serious issue, and the team is probably just playing it safe and taking it easy on him early on in the week. He should be good to go and will likely continue to play his usual backup role against the Eagles on Sunday night.

Marlon Humphrey (calf) said that he feels good and is ready to go for Baltimore's Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. (Source: Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Humphrey hasn't seen the field in close to a month while managing a calf injury, but he now claims that he feels good and will be ready to go for the team's matchup in Week 14. He had a bye in Week 13 to recover, so we could see him return and offer a big boost to this Baltimore secondary in a less-than-ideal matchup against a solid Rams' passing attack.

Breece Hall (ankle) did not participate at New York's practice on Wednesday. (Source: Rich Cimini on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hall was unable to practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. He presumably picked it up in New York's loss to the Falcons in Week 13, and it's unclear just how serious of an issue it is. Fantasy managers should continue to keep tabs on his status leading up to a matchup against the Texans in Week 14.

Tyler Conklin (hamstring) was limited at practice for the Jets on Wednesday. (Source: Rich Cimini on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Conklin popped up on New York's injury report as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He's dealing with a hamstring injury of some kind, but it doesn't seem to be a serious issue, given that he was able to participate in a limited capacity. He will likely be ready to go by Sunday but probably won't be worth streaming with how bad New York's offense has been this year.

Najee Harris (knee) did not participate at practice on Wednesday and is officially questionable to play in Thursday's game against the New England Patriots. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harris was a surprise addition to the injury report this week, being listed with a knee injury of some kind that left him sidelined at both of the team's two practices. He's officially considered questionable to play in Thursday night's game, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Jaylen Warren will be primed for a big workload if Harris is unable to play against the Patriots.

Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Source: New England Patriots)

Fantasy Impact: Stevenson suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 13 that will leave him sidelined in Week 14. He may miss more time beyond this game, but that will determined sometime next week. Ezekiel Elliott will serve as the team's primary running back against the Steelers, but New England's offense is so poor that he probably isn't worth playing on Thursday night.
