Report: Percy Harvin still in play for Week 8

A league source tells Profootballtalk Percy Harvin (PUP, hip) is still a candidate to be activated for Week 8.

The Seahawks have three weeks to activate Harvin after he returned to practice on Monday. Seattle obviously doesn't need Harvin to beat the Sam Bradford-less Rams on Monday Night Football, but if he's ready, he's ready. There's nothing to gain by holding him out if he proves he's 100 percent in this week's practices. That being said, Harvin would almost certainly be on a snap count if he's active for Week 8, and wouldn't be a desirable WR3. His status will be updated no later than Thursday, when Seattle returns to practice.

Browns confirm concussion for Willis McGahee

Willis McGahee sustained a concussion during Sunday's loss at New England.

McGahee took a shot to the head late in the fourth quarter and did not return. The veteran will be in a race to get cleared ahead of a dream Week 15 matchup at home against the Bears. If he can't go, look for the Browns to trot out Chris Ogbonnaya as the starter and Fozzy Whittaker as the committee partner. Ogbonnaya would be the preferred desperation fantasy add because of his added role in the passing game (41 catches on the season).

Report: Jonathan Stewart's injury is serious

According to the Charlotte Observer, the knee injury Jonathan Stewart sustained on Sunday night is serious.

Stewart took a low hit from Saints CB Keenan Lewis at the end of a 16-yard catch and never returned. He's headed for a Monday MRI to determine the extent of the damage. If Stewart were to miss time, DeAngelo Williams would reemerge as the clear-cut feature back for Carolina. During the first seven games of the year (while Stewart was on PUP), Williams averaged 16.2 carries and 1.8 catches per game. The concern with using him as a potential plug-n-play flex is that he gets the Jets No. 2 run defense in Week 15.

Brees lights up Panthers for 313 yards, 4 TDs

Drew Brees completed 30-of-42 passes for 313 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday night's Week 14 win over the Panthers.

Brees was highly effective in the short passing game, completing the majority of his passes by exploiting soft spots in the Panthers' zone defense. He connected with Marques Colston for a six-yard touchdown in the second quarter and later hit him on a post route over the middle from 15 yards out at the end of first half. Both of his other touchdowns went to Jimmy Graham inside the red-zone. Brees was coming off a game where he passed for just 147 yards against the Seahawks, so it was a strong bounce back performance. He'll remain a top-three QB1 in a Week 15 matchup with the Rams.

Adrian Peterson admits to pain in mid-foot

Adrian Peterson said he doesn't believe the foot sprain he sustained during Sunday's loss at Baltimore will end his season.

Peterson, who was unable to return after going down in the first half Sunday, admitted he is experiencing pain in his mid-foot area. X-rays were negative, but he's headed for an MRI on Monday. It's a scary place for an injury as mid-foot sprains can sometimes come with Lisfranc damage. And given the fact that the 3-9-1 Vikings are out of playoff contention, Peterson won't be pushed to play through too much pain. Toby Gerhart needs to be owned across the board until we know more.

Ladarius Green starts, but sees just 1 target

Ladarius Green was held without a catch on one target in San Diego's Week 14 win over the Giants.

Although Green started and was still involved in San Diego's offense, his snaps were scaled back as Eddie Royal returned from chest and toe injuries, and the Chargers used more three-receiver looks instead of two-tight end packages. Green is clearly still in a development phase, and the Bolts' coaching staff doesn't fancy him a true every-down, featured player yet. He'll be a TE2 when the Chargers face the Broncos in Week 15.

Seahawks SLB K.J. Wright has broken foot

Seahawks SLB K.J. Wright has been diagnosed with a broken foot, and will be sidelined "around" six weeks.

The timeline means Wright will be unlikely to return during the postseason. Coach Pete Carroll made the disclosure in his post-game press conference. It's a major blow for the Seahawks, as Wright is an every-down player in the midst of a fine season. Malcolm Smith should take his place in the starting lineup.

Keenan Allen overcomes injury scare for 2 TDs

Keenan Allen caught three balls for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers' Week 14 win over the Giants.

Allen sent a scare into fantasy owners with a first-half shoulder injury, but returned to score his second touchdown of the game just plays later from four yards out. Allen's first score was a 43-yard bomb down the right sideline in Giants sometimes-slot CB Terrell Thomas' coverage. Allen simply ran a route too good for Thomas to defend. Allen is on the WR1/2 borderline at this point. You'll want to start him against the Broncos and Raiders the next two weeks.

Cardinals believe Tyrann Mathieu tore ACL

The Cardinals believe Tyrann Mathieu suffered a torn left ACL in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Rams.

Speaking after the game, coach Bruce Arians said it "appears" Mathieu tore his ACL. The rookie will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm. Mathieu was playing on special teams when the injury happened. He was in on the tackle of Tavon Austin when his leg planted awkwardly and gave out. Mathieu sat on the turf for a few minutes before limping off under his own power. Mathieu's knee then buckled and a cart was called over to escort him to the locker room. The No. 69 overall pick in April's draft has been nails as the Cardinals' free safety and slot defender. It's a big loss for an Arizona defense that is one of the NFL's top units.

Timeshare continues as Montee gets 18 touches

Montee Ball rushed 15 times for 77 yards with a touchdown and added three catches for 10 yards in Sunday's Week 14 win over the Titans.

With the playoffs drawing closer, the Broncos are making a concerted effort to ease the burden on Knowshon Moreno (20 touches). It means Ball is rotating in early and often, and also getting a ton of red-zone looks. Over the last two weeks, the rookie has 28 carries while the veteran has 29. As a goal-line option, pass-catcher and change-of-pace back in a ridiculously explosive offense, Ball will be a viable flex play against the Chargers on Thursday night.

What cold? Peyton goes for 397 yards, 4 TDs

Peyton Manning completed 39-of-59 passes for 397 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 51-28 Week 14 win over the Titans.

With temperatures hovering around 16 degrees for much of the game and Manning facing the Titans' elite corner duo, pundits suggested the league's obvious MVP might struggle. It didn't happen. Manning was extremely sharp once again, spreading the ball to all his weapons and not missing a beat after Wes Welker left with a concussion. It's Manning's seventh game with more than 350 yards passing and his seventh game with four or more touchdown passes. He'll be fantasy's No. 1 quarterback in Week 15, when the Broncos host the Chargers.

Daniel Thomas comes off bench for 105 yds, TD

Daniel Thomas rushed 16 times for 105 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 Week 14 win at Pittsburgh.

Left for dead by media reports a couple weeks back following an ankle injury, Thomas burst back onto the scene in this one. Not only was he surprisingly active, but he shared touches with Lamar Miller early on and then became the feature back when Miller sustained a concussion. Thomas impressed with rarely seen before elusiveness, even breaking off a 55-yard run and pushing his way for a four-yard touchdown. If Miller isn't cleared for Week 15, Thomas will be a flex option against a Patriots defense that has struggled against the run.
