Ladarius Green - TE - Chargers

Ladarius Green ran just five pass routes in Sunday's win over the Giants.

A week after playing on 91 percent of the snaps, Green played on just 42 percent of the snaps. Blame the return of Eddie Royal (40 snaps) and the Chargers' big lead. Green was used as a blocker, catching no passes on just one target -- strange usage for such a talented and athletic player. Green is a good bet to be more involved in the gameplan in Thursday's potential shootout with the Broncos, but fantasy owners can't comfortably use a player with a suddenly inconsistent role.

Tyrann Mathieu - DB - Cardinals

Monday testing confirmed a torn ACL and LCL for Cardinals DB Tyrann Mathieu.

It's a devastating way to end the season for the NFL's top Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate. Mathieu was a beast as a free safety and slot corner for the league's No. 5 defense, racking up 68 tackles, two interceptions, one sack, one forced fumble and nine pass breakups while playing virtually every snap in 13 games. Now he faces a long rehab process and a questionable tag for the start of the 2014 season.

Dennis Pitta - TE - Ravens

Dennis Pitta played on 36-of-85 snaps (42.3 percent) in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

So much for easing Pitta back in slowly. Making his 2013 debut off a hip dislocation and subsequent surgery, the pass-catching tight end racked up a 6/48/1 line while tying for the team lead with 11 targets. It's the kind of performance we can expect on a weekly basis from Pitta as the Ravens are absolutely starved for an underneath complement to outside receivers Torrey Smith/Jacoby Jones. Pitta's snaps figure to rise going forward and he'll have TE1 viability against the Lions in Week 15.

Da'Rick Rogers - WR - Colts

Da'Rick Rogers played on 41-of-60 (68.3 percent) snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

At long last, the Colts identified their talent and utilized it. Darrius Heyward-Bey was demoted to 23 snaps while T.Y. Hilton led the way with 45 and LaVon Brazill chipped in with 42. Rogers is the man to watch here as the unique talent that went undrafted in April solely due to off-field concerns. His on-field ability was never in doubt and he proved it by busting out for a 6/107/2 line against Cincy. Rogers comes with risk because he's so unproven, but this usage confirms he'll at least be a WR4 with upside in a nice matchup in the dome against the Texans Week 15.

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars

Maurice Jones-Drew (hamstring) now hopes to return to practice by Friday.

Per beat writer Hays Carlyon, Jones-Drew seems "very questionable" for Week 15. It's not a surprise considering the tricky nature of hamstring pulls and how older players often struggle to return quickly from soft-tissue injuries. If Jones-Drew can't go against the Bills, Jordan Todman will step in as a desperation flex plug-n-play. Todman has some juice to him as he rushed 29 times for 223 yards (7.68 YPC) with two touchdowns in a sparkling preseason.

Jason Worilds - LB - Steelers

Steelers OLB Jason Worilds had eight tackles and two sacks in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Dolphins.

If IDP owners haven't taken notice of Worilds yet, it's way past time. Playing far ahead of Jarvis Jones even with LaMarr Woodley back healthy, Worilds has 31 tackles and five sacks in the last four games. He's playing well enough to make the Steelers at least think about bringing the impending free agent back in 2014.

Montee Ball - RB - Broncos

Montee Ball played on a season-high 43-of-98 snaps (43.8 percent) in Sunday's win over the Titans.

Over the last two weeks, starter Knowshon Moreno has 39 touches while playing 100 snaps. Ball has 32 touches on 67 snaps. The Broncos' intention to keep Moreno fresh while simultaneously getting their talented rookie on the field is now clear. Ball has also turned into the usual goal-line option of late, punching in four rushing touchdowns over the last six weeks. He'll be a candidate for another 10-16 touches in Thursday's game against the Chargers, making him a viable flex option.

Duke Ihenacho - DB - Broncos

The Broncos benched SS Duke Ihenacho in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Titans.

After playing virtually every snap through the first 12 games of the season, Ihenacho saw just 22-of-51 snaps on Sunday. Omar Bolden stepped in at free safety while Mike Adams shifted from free to strong safety. "We wanted to look at Omar," coach John Fox said. "We took a look at some other guys a little bit to develop that throughout the rest of the season."
