Eagles bring in Vince Young on one-year deal

Eagles agreed to terms with QB Vince Young on a one-year contract worth up to $5.5 million.

It didn't take V.Y. long to realize there was no market for him as a starting QB after failing to bring an NFL commitment-level to the table in Tennessee. A one-year stint as Michael Vick's backup is a smart move, allowing him to stay under the radar and enter the market again next year at age 29. While Young may struggle to pick up the West Coast offense in camp, he won't be asked to take the reigns anytime soon. Regardless, he's now the best insurance policy in the league, capable of keeping the team in contention even if the starter goes down.

Ravens active TE Pitta from short-term I.R.

Ravens activated TE Dennis Pitta (hip) from the injured reserve/designated to return.

Pitta has been practicing the last three weeks and is expected to be on a limited snap count in his first game back. His return has the potential to improve a Ravens offense that lacks a true possession receiver, though his exact role remains to be seen coming off a major injury. Pitta is worth stashing as a TE2 in re-draft formats, but isn't a realistic fantasy option for Week 14.

MJD (hamstring) promises to play in Week 15

After receiving the results of Friday's MRI, Maurice Jones-Drew (hamstring) promised he will play in Week 15 against the Bills.

Jones-Drew suffered the hamstring injury in Thursday night's win over the Texans. Set for free agency in 2014, MJD doesn't want to miss out on any of his final chances to impress in 2013. "It’s what we, I think, what we figured out was just a strained hamstring," Jones-Drew said. "I’ve played with those before so it’s not that big of a deal. You just have to get the necessary treatments and things done so you can get back and get on the field for Sunday." MJD will be an RB2 if he's indeed cleared to start against Buffalo.

Raiders RB Jennings is still not cleared

Rashad Jennings (questionable, concussion) was "limited" in Friday's practice, and still hasn't received clearance to play in Week 14.

The Raiders try to be very secretive with injured players, and seem to be taking the same approach with Jennings. Despite practicing on a limited basis each day this week, Jennings hasn't been cleared to face contact. Or at least the Raiders aren't saying whether he is. Keep tracking the situation into Sunday, but ultimately this is a situation to avoid against the Jets' league-best run defense. Darren McFadden (ankle) has been ruled out.

Julius Thomas listed as probable to face TEN

Julius Thomas (knee) is listed as probable for Week 14 against the Titans.

A full participant in Thursday and Friday's sessions, Thomas is ready to rock against a Tennessee defense that excels in perimeter pass coverage but has some vulnerabilities between the numbers, which is where Thomas and Wes Welker do their dirty work. Lock in Thomas as a top-five fantasy TE1 this week.

Reggie Bush returns to Lions practice Friday

Reggie Bush (calf, questionable) returned to Lions practice Friday, and "didn't seem limited" during drills open to the media.

Bush was held out of Wednesday and Thursday's sessions, although he did participate in some light individual drills yesterday. It's good news Bush returned Friday and looked to be a full participant in an outdoors practice ahead of Sunday's visit to Philadelphia. Bush's Week 14 status no longer appears to be a question mark. He'll be a top-ten running back starter in fantasy.

Cardinals 'confident' Carson Palmer will play

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians told reporters Friday he's "confident" Carson Palmer (elbow, questionable" will play Sunday versus St. Louis.

Arians officially described Palmer as a "game-time decision," and also expressed confidence in backup Drew Stanton "if it came to that." Said Arians of Palmer, "He’ll be a game-time (but) I’m sure he’ll be ready to go." The Cardinals are clearly planning for Palmer to start despite his very-limited week of practice. Due to the injury, Palmer will not be a recommended streamer in standard fantasy leagues. He'll be more of a two-quarterback-league start.

Aaron Rodgers officially ruled out for Wk 14

Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) has been formally ruled out for Week 14.

It's conceivable that the Packers will determine Rodgers' Weeks 15-17 availability based solely on their Week 14 result. If Matt Flynn "leads" them to a Sunday victory versus Atlanta, they'll bring Rodgers back for the final three games in an effort to make an unlikely playoff push. If they lose to the Falcons, Rodgers could be shut down for the year. Expect coach Mike McCarthy to give another update on Rodgers' health at his Monday day-after presser.

Redskins list TE Jordan Reed as questionable

Jordan Reed (concussion) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Chiefs.

The good news is Reed is practicing. The bad news is he had a setback the day before last week's game after being cleared to play, and was shut down for the second straight week. Reed will be a locked-in fantasy TE1 if active against Kansas City. Chiefs-Skins has a 1PM ET start, so we'll know his status early.

Giants list Brandon Jacobs (knee) as doubtful

Brandon Jacobs (knee) is listed as doubtful for Week 14.

Although Jacobs has very little standalone fantasy value, his absence locks in Andre Brown as the Giants' goal-line back. Since returning from short-term I.R. four games ago, Brown is the No. 7 overall fantasy running back, and is a legit RB1 in Sunday's tilt with San Diego. Rotoworld's Pat Daugherty ranks Brown as the No. 9 fantasy back for the first round of the fantasy playoffs. A link to RotoPat's full Week 14 rankings is accessible below.

Harbaugh: Pitta has chance to play on Sunday

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Friday there's a "reasonable" chance Dennis Pitta (hip surgery) plays in Week 14 against Minnesota.

Although Pitta would be limited and not a Week 14 fantasy option, his role could grow enough for Week 15 start-ability if he played well. With very little running game and a receiver corps largely consisting of deep threats, the Ravens' offense has had no sustaining element this season. When healthy, Pitta can bring that. Tight end-desperate fantasy owners should grab him now.

Keenum named Texans' Week 15 starting QB

The Texans announced Case Keenum will start in Week 15 against the Colts.

Coach Gary Kubiak said after Thursday night's loss to the Jaguars that Matt Schaub was an "unbelievable pro" and would be considered for the starting job for the rest of the season. Kubiak was then fired Friday morning. The 2-11 Texans are in full-blown evaluation mode, and it makes no sense to give Schaub anymore starts. His time is likely done in Houston, as well. Keenum has struggled mightily in recent weeks. He won't be a recommended fantasy option.
