  Chuba Hubbard: Alone atop Panthers’ backfield
  
  Hubbard has an unimpeded path to close out the 2024 campaign in a workhorse role out of the backfield for Carolina, with Jonathan Brooks (knee) having suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Hubbard has established himself as the clear No. 1 option leading the Panthers' rushing attack this season, and he rushed 26 times for 92 yards and one touchdown versus Philadelphia, but there had been an assumption that Brooks' involvement would ramp up down the stretch. With the rookie second-round pick having re-torn his right ACL, though, Carolina's roster no longer features anyone even resembling a threat to Hubbard's dominant share of reps. Raheem Blackshear (chest) is considered day-to-day, while veteran Miles Sanders (ankle) won't be eligible to come off IR until Week 16 against Arizona, at the earliest. Head coach Dave Canales said practice-squad player Mike Boone is currently in line to handle the No. 2 role behind Hubbard at practice, and potentially Week 15 versus Dallas, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

  Desmond Ridder: Expected to start Week 15
  
  Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Monday that Ridder is expected to start against the Falcons in Week 15, though the team is still waiting for updates on the health of Aidan O'Connell (knee), Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports. Ridder appears in line for at least a spot start under center Week 15, and potentially a longer run in the No. 1 role, depending on the severity of O'Connell's injury. The 25-year-old quarterback was solid in relief duty during Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers, entering with just over 14 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He completed 12 of 18 passes for 101 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, also rushing twice for three yards. He recovered his only fumble.

  Cade York: Gets the call
  
  York has been elevated from the Bengals' practice squad to their active roster Monday. York will get the nod as Cincinnati's kicker against the Cowboys on Monday, as Evan McPherson tends to a groin injury. The LSU product appeared in one game earlier this season for the Commanders and missed both of his FGAs, one from 47 and the other from 56 yards out, which led to him being waived the next day. He'll now have a shot at redemption against Dallas on MNF.

Roger McCreary : Could return this week

Head coach Brian Callahan stated Monday that he is hopeful to have McCreary (shoulder) back this week, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. McCreary missed the team's loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, but it looks like it could be just a one-game absence for the Auburn product. Whether he can suit up for Week 15 against the Bengals likely won't be determined until closer to kickoff though.

Jonathon Brooks : Re-tears ACL, out for the year

Panthers head coach Dave Canales announced Monday that Brooks suffered another tear of his right ACL during Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Brooks will undergo surgery to address his ACL re-injury, per Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. The rookie second-round pick had to be carted off the field in the second quarter of Sunday's loss after sustaining a non-contact injury. The development is brutal for Brooks, who made his NFL debut and return from IR just three games ago, ultimately playing just 22 offensive snaps in his rookie campaign. Brooks will now face the task of rehabbing from his second ACL tear in 13 months, with both injuries having occurred in the same knee. With Raheem Blackshear (chest) dealing with an injury of his own, Chuba Hubbard remains in line for a clear workhorse role out of the backfield heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Cowboys.

December 9, 2024
Derek Carr : To miss multiple weeks

Carr (hand) is believed to have suffered a fracture in his non-throwing hand during Sunday's 14-11 win, an injury that will likely force him to miss multiple games, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Saints haven't yet officially disclosed the severity of Carr's injury or ruled him out to play Week 15 against the Commanders, but it appears the timing of the veteran quarterback's injury could put him in danger of missing the remainder of the regular season. Rapoport reports that New Orleans may opt not to place Carr on IR, allowing him a chance to recover in time to retake the field this year. In any case, though, it appears that the Saints will have to pivot to either Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler under center for the immediate future.

December 9, 2024
George Pickens : Managing Grade 2 hamstring strain

Pickens (hamstring), who was inactive for Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns, is believed to be nursing a Grade 2 strain, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Pickens popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report late in Week 14, after he was limited in Friday's practice. The final decision to hold him out versus Cleveland reportedly wasn't made until late Sunday morning, an indication that the Steelers had some hope the standout wide receiver could play through his hamstring issue. A Grade 2 strain, though, could tentatively also impede Pickens' availability Week 15 on the road against Philadelphia, if not for a longer stretch. As long as Pickens can't go, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Mike Williams, Ben Skowronek and Scotty Miller, as well as tight end Pat Freiermuth, will be called upon to handle expanded opportunities in the receiving game.

December 9, 2024
Jon Runyan : Could miss time

Head coach Brian Daboll stated Monday that Runyan (ankle) is "week-to-week, maybe more," Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Runyan's timeline could mean anything for the remainder of the Michigan product's season. A clearer picture of his status for this Sunday's game against the Ravens will likely come later in the week. If he's unable to suit up, Aaron Stinnie will likely be the next man up at left guard for the Giants.

  Scoot Henderson: Flawless from FT line in return
  
  Henderson (quadricep) provided 13 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes in Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Lakers. Henderson returned to the court after missing the last four games with a left quad contusion, which came after a recent three-game absence due to a back strain. The second-year guard was the first player off the bench for Portland and came through with an efficient scoring performance, highlighted by a perfect showing from the free-throw line. Though he ate into fellow reserve guard Dalano Banton's minutes in his return, Henderson may not see his playing time pick up dramatically in competitive contests if the Trail Blazers continue to run with backcourt starters Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe in 30-plus-minute roles.

  Chris Paul: Reaches No. 2 in all-time assists
  
  Paul notched six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 victory over the Pelicans. Paul's 10 assists moved him to No. 2 in all-time assists (12,099), placing him above Jason Kidd (12,091) and only behind John Stockton (15,806). He's on a particularly good stretch of passing lately, dropping at least eight dimes in five straight games and averaging 10.0 assists during this run. The future Hall-of-Famer is having a bounceback season with the Spurs following his one-year stint with the Warriors.

  Mason Plumlee: Blocks four shots
  
  Plumlee accumulated seven points (2-5 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 loss to Orlando. Plumlee made his third start in a row while filling in for the injured Jusuf Nurkic (calf). In those games, Plumlee was a serviceable fantasy streamer with averages of 4.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 blocks. He could be worth a look again if Nurkic is unable to return Dec. 13 against the Jazz.

Clint Capela : Sees just 19 minutes

Capela amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to the Nuggets. Capela made the most of his limited minutes, and his workloads have been frustrating for his fantasy managers. He's averaging 22.7 minutes compared to 24.0 for Onyeka Okongwu, and he's produced 11th-round value in nine-category formats on the season.

December 9, 2024
Onyeka Okongwu : Nearly double-doubles

Okongwu totaled 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to the Nuggets. Okongwu saw 25 minutes compared to 19 for Clint Capela, and that's been a theme many times this season. Okongwu is averaging 24.0 minutes per contest compared to 22.7 for Capela, with both players returning 11th-round value in nine-category formats so far.

December 9, 2024
Jaden McDaniels : Records two steals

McDaniels posted nine points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Warriors. Despite seeing 30.0 minutes per contest, McDaniels finds himself on pace to finish just outside the top-150 valuation in nine-category fantasy formats. He's averaging 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 three-pointers, but he's hitting just 44.0 percent from the field and 69.2 percent from the free throw line.

December 9, 2024
Mike Conley : Notches 12 points

Conley provided 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to Golden State. Conley is averaging only 25.5 minutes per game this season, but he's still managed to keep his value afloat in fantasy formats. Through his first 19 regular-season appearances, he's on pace to post 10th-round value in nine-category formats with 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

December 9, 2024
Brice Sensabaugh : Scores nine points

Sensabaugh notched nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Sunday's 141-97 loss to the Kings. Sensabaugh made the most of his limited minutes in this blowout loss. He's played well so far this season and is hitting 46.2 percent from the field and 41.8 percent from beyond the arc through his first 17 games, but his workloads are still pretty low. He could see his value increase quickly if the Jazz end up being sellers at the trade deadline.

  Jordan Romano: One-year contract with Philadelphia
  
  The Phillies agreed to a one-year, $7.75 million contract with Romano (elbow) on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Romano was non-tendered by the Blue Jays last month but winds up getting an amount similar to what he was projected to receive via arbitration. The 31-year-old was limited to just 15 appearances in 2024 due to a right elbow issue which eventually required surgery, and he allowed 10 runs across 13.2 innings in those appearances. However, Romano is expected to be recovered in time for spring training and he was one of the better relievers in baseball from 2021 to 2023, collecting a 2.37 ERA and 30.3 percent strikeout rate while notching 95 saves. If healthy, he'll be a candidate to see save chances for the Phillies in 2025.

  Brent Rooker: Team trying to extend
  
  Athletics manager Mark Kotsay indicated Friday that the club is looking to sign Rooker (forearm) to a contract extension, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Kotsay was talking to reporters about the recent signing of Luis Severino and noted of Rooker that the team is "hopeful to get something done" with the 30-year-old that would show the Athletics are moving in a new direction in regard to "making commitments to players." Rooker is projected to make around $5 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility this offseason and is under team control through 2027. Athletics general manager David Forst said in November that he did not expect to trade Rooker, and the news that the club is looking to extend him instead certainly backs up that line of thinking. Rooker underwent right forearm extensor surgery but is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.

Kai-Wei Teng: Re-signs with San Francisco

The Giants re-signed Teng to a minor-league contract Nov. 29. After being non-tendered last month, the right-hander has returned to the organization on a minor-league pact. Teng, 26, spent most of the 2024 season at Triple-A Sacramento, where he put up an 8.60 ERA and 1.81 WHIP over 75.1 innings.

December 9, 2024
Ethan Small: Back in San Francisco on MiLB deal

The Giants re-signed Small to a minor-league contract Nov. 26. Small was non-tendered by the Giants in November but quickly re-signed on a minor-league pact. The left-hander missed much of the 2024 season with an oblique injury and allowed six runs over nine frames at Triple-A Sacramento.

December 9, 2024
Dakota Hudson: Gets MiLB deal from Angels

The Angels signed Hudson to a minor-league contract Monday, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports. Hudson posted an ugly 6.17 ERA in 18 starts this past season for the Rockies. The 30-year-old holds a 5.08 ERA and 1.53 WHIP since the start of the 2022 season and seems likely to begin the 2025 campaign as rotation depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

December 8, 2024
Blake Treinen: Staying with Dodgers

Treinen signed a two-year, $22 million contract with the Dodgers on Sunday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Treinen will stick around Los Angeles after producing a 1.93 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 56 strikeouts over 46.2 innings in 50 regular-season appearances with the Dodgers in 2024. The right-hander will likely operate in a late-inning role with the team in 2025, but he isn't a lock to get more than an occasional save chance. Treinen tallied one save and 16 holds for Los Angeles during the 2024 regular season.

December 8, 2024
Juan Soto: Signs record-setting deal with Mets

Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets on Sunday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Soto has officially landed his deal, staying in New York but switching teams to join the Mets on an MLB-record contract that includes a $75 million signing bonus and an opt-out after five years. The outfielder cashed in after batting .288 with 41 home runs, 109 RBI, 128 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 157 regular-season games with the Yankees in 2024, his only season in the Bronx. The 26-year-old will now join a lineup with fellow superstar Francisco Lindor, and Soto will likely operate alongside Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte in the outfield in 2025.
