  The start of the fantasy playoffs in Week 14 will likely see the return of Dalvin Cook after last Monday'sinjury provided a scare for his owners. That will mean popular waiver pickup Alexander Mattison's value goes down, though. Elsewhere in the RB rankings, Jordan Howard, Josh Jacobs, Matt Breida, Damien Williams and Marlon Mack are in varying states of questionable for Week 14, while James Conner has already been ruled out. Looking ahead, Kerryon Johnson might make it back for fantasy championship week. We have updates on all of these players below.

  Is Dalvin Cookplaying Week 14?

  Cook has said on multiple occasions this week that in Week 14 after leaving in Week 13 due to a chest/shoulder injury. He was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a "chest" injury, though, which is technically what kept him limited a bit last week.

  It's a bit odd Cole Hamels Jersey that Cook says he's totally fineafter his injury kept him out for most of the second half of a big game against Seattle, but it looks like he should get at least nearly his full workload Sunday against the Lions' brutal run defense. His handcuff, Alexander Mattison, is in play due to the matchup if it looks like Cook could be limited at all.

  WEEK 14 DFS LINEUPS: | | | | |

  Jordan Howard injury update

  Howard hasn't been cleared for contact for his shoulder injury . Philadelphia's first practice injury report of the week will come out Thursday ahead of a Monday night game against the Giants.

  At this point, Howard's injury seems unknown enough that we can't expect Ronald Guzman Jersey anything from him unle s he makes it back on the practice field with a clearance for contact. Until then, Miles Sanders is an RB2 play heading into Monday night, and if you're counting on Howard, you may want to find an alternative.

  WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS|

  Is Marlon Mack playing Week 14?

  UPDATE:Mack got in a on Thursday.

  Mack had been targeting a Week 14 return from his hand injury, and he as a limited participant. Mack hasn't played since Week 11. Indianapolis travels to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  The Bucs' have one of the league's stoutest run defenses, so Mack is probably no more than a decent FLEX play if he's active. Mack's return spells an end to the value and frustration of Jordan Wilkins and Jonathan Williams, while Nyheim Hines should maintain his usual receiving back role.

  Josh Jacobs injury update

  Jacobs has reportedly been playing with a since Week 7 Adrian Sampson Jersey and on Wednesday and Thursday. His availability for Week 14's game against the Titans is in question.

  If Jacobs is out, DeAndre Washington figures to see the majority of carries, while Jalen Richard would also mix in on both runs and pa ses. It's tough to trust either in standard leagues, though Washington is the preferred handcuff. Richard could easily have more value in PPR formats.

  James Conner injury update

  Conner (shoulder) for Week 14's game against the Cardinals.

  Benny Snell Jr. will once again dominate carries, and Jaylen Samuel will have moderate PPR value in this favorable matchup.

  Damien Williams, Darrel Williams injury updates

  After Tuesday that Damien (ribs)has "a chance Adrian Beltre Jersey to play" in Week 14, both Williams mi sed out on practice Wednesday. Darrel on Thursday morning, ending his season, while Damien mi sed practice again Thursday.

  The Chiefs play in New England at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, so this isn't an ideal situation regardle s. Damien would be usable in PPR formats and as a FLEX in standard leagues if he's active, while his activation would make the rest of KC's backs (LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson) players to sit this week.

  MORE WEEK 14 DFS: | |

  Matt Breida injury update

  Breida (ankle) was a Wednesday. He hasn't played since being injured in Week 10, but after limited practices last week and a full practice Wednesday, he should be good to go for Sunday in New Orleans.

  Breida's return makes San Francisco an even more confusing fantasy backfield after Raheem Mostert dominated touches over Tevin Coleman in Week 13. You can't trust any of the three as more than a FLEX (and even that's risky) against a Taylor Guerrieri Jersey solid Saints defense.

  When can Kerryon Johnson return from IR?

  Johnson (knee) . He's eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve for Week 16.

  The Lions take on a decent Broncos run defense in Week 16, so fantasy leagues that play their championship that week would be taking a big chance on Johnson. A Week 17 matchup with the Packers shapes up better for Johnson, who is a more worthy stash if your league goes through Week 17.
