Justin Jefferson Has Upside Amidst Another QB Change

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson returns to the WR1 tier for fantasy football after the team announced that quarterback Nick Mullens would return to the starting role against the Detroit Lions in Week 18. The 24-year-old looked solid in Mullens' previous two starts, totaling 13 catches, 225 yards, and one touchdown during that span. […]

Christian Kirk Uncertain For Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) continues to yield skepticism about his availability for Week 18 versus the Tennessee Titans, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. While the Jaguars showed confidence in Kirk by activating him from injured reserve on Saturday, Rapoport notes that his status is far from certain. If active, he would rank […]

Zay Jones Expected To Play Versus Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) is expected to play in Week 18 versus the Tennessee Titans, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He had been listed as questionable after logging three consecutive limited practices. The wide receiver's fantasy value will heavily depend on the statuses of Trevor Lawrence (right shoulder) and Christian Kirk […]

Isiah Pacheco Not Expected To Play In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (quadricep, shoulder) is not expected to play in Week 18 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He had been listed as questionable. Rapoport's post seemed to indicate that Pacheco may be active but only used on an emergency basis, putting him behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire […]

Juwan Johnson Will Play Versus Falcons

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (chest) will play in Week 18 despite being listed as questionable, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. The 27-year-old has made major strides lately, catching 14 passes for 172 yards and three touchdowns over his last three games. He had one of the best games of his career last […]

Alvin Kamara Will Be Game-Time Call Sunday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 18, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He had been listed as questionable after missing all three practices this week. While playing less than two days after missing practice would represent a very quick turnaround, it looks like Kamara at […]

Baker Mayfield Expected To Play In Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs) is expected to play in Week 18 versus the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after he logged a full practice on Friday. Furthermore, head coach Todd Bowles showed optimism on the quarterback's status, saying, "He'll be ready to […]

Chad Ryland Remains Avoidable In All Leagues

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland should be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. The rookie has looked miserable this season, converting just 15 of 24 field goals (62.5 percent). His accuracy has been poor and will likely only get worse with snow, rain, and […]

Mike Gesicki Dependent On Finding End Zone In Week 18

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki will operate as the top option at his position with Hunter Henry (knee) sidelined for Week 18 versus the New York Jets. Gesicki has played more than 65 percent of snaps in his two games with Henry sidelined, averaging 8.5 fantasy points per game during that span. However, […]

Patriots Defense A Top Option For Week 18

The New England Patriots' defense ranks as a top-10 fantasy option ahead of Sunday's game versus the New York Jets. The most obvious factor here is that the Jets are starting third-string quarterback Trevor Siemian with Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) and Zach Wilson (concussion) sidelined. Siemian has six turnovers over his last three games, and the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Appealing Fantasy Option As Lead Back

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott will continue to operate as the lead running back for Week 18 against the New York Jets with Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) sidelined. Elliott has produced inconsistent results on the ground this year, but his impressive pass-catching role and red-zone usage allow him to sneak into the RB2 tier […]

Demario Douglas Remains Shaky Option For Week 18

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas remains an unreliable option in fantasy football with an unfavorable matchup and subpar weather conditions on tap for Week 18. Douglas, 23, caught just three passes for 31 yards last week against a Buffalo Bills defense that is typically soft against slot receivers. This week, he'll face a […]

Bailey Zappe Can't Be Trusted In Week 18

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe remains off the fantasy radar for Week 18 versus the New York Jets. A variety of factors make Zappe an unappealing option ahead of Sunday's season finale. First of all, the Jets, despite enduring significant dysfunction this season, have a very strong secondary. New York is averaging the third-fewest […]

Zach Pascal Questionable To Face Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) logged another limited practice on Friday and is officially questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18. The 29-year-old has merely filled a depth role this season, catching four of 15 targets for 19 yards. He played 22 percent of offensive snaps last week with Marquise […]

Michael Mayer Sidelined For Regular Season Finale

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed all three practices this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old's rookie season comes to an end with three consecutive absences. It was a somewhat underwhelming year for Mayer, who totaled just 27 catches, 304 yards, […]

Josh Jacobs Won't Suit Up In Week 18

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) has been ruled out for Week 18 versus the Denver Broncos. This should not come as a surprise considering Jacobs missed all three practices this week. The 25-year-old had been impressive for most of the season before missing the Raiders' final four games of the year. This […]

Zay Jones Listed As Questionable, Will Play In Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) is officially questionable to play in Week 18 after logging three limited practices in a row. Despite the vague injury designation, head coach Doug Pederson told the media that Jones will play on Sunday. His presence will be key for the Jaguars who haven't secured a playoff […]

Brock Wright Won't Play In Regular Season Finale

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip) missed all three practices this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. After playing the first 14 games this season, Wright has now missed three consecutive weeks, leaving some questions about his availability for the playoffs. Standout rookie Sam LaPorta will […]

Jameson Williams Ruled Out For Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (ankle, illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. This news comes as no surprise considering Williams missed all three practices this week. His absence should allow Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond to earn more snaps alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown. Of the group, St. Brown […]

Will Levis Questionable For Week 18

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (foot) remained limited during Friday's practice. He is officially questionable to play in Week 18, though head coach Mike Vrabel already announced that Ryan Tannehill will draw the start in what could be his final game as a Titan. If active, Levis will be the backup, keeping him off the […]

Below you will find our fantasy football injuries report for running backs in Week 18, as of January 3. The injury statuses for various NFL running backs are up in the air for Week 18, including Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, Najee Harris, and Zack Moss.

Brevin Jordan Finds End Zone Versus Titans

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan caught both of his targets for 19 yards and one touchdown during a win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Despite operating behind Dalton Schultz, Jordan was able to contribute offensively with Houston's lone receiving touchdown. On that note, Jordan doesn't see much volume when Schultz is healthy […]

Dalton Schultz Catches Just Two Passes Sunday

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz turned four targets into just two catches for 19 yards during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. It was a disappointing outing from the 27-year-old, who was just one week removed from a big eight-catch, 61-yard outburst versus Cleveland. With that said, the Texans' passing attack didn't have to […]

Devin Singletary Rushes For 80 Yards Sunday

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary rushed for 80 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional six yards through the air. It's safe to say that Singletary has emerged as the Texans' best running back this season and has positioned […]

C.J. Stroud Solid In Return From Concussion

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned from his two-game absence against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17, completing 24 of 32 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also took one sack and added four rushing yards. While the rookie didn't have a huge game in this outing, he played turnover-free football […]

Nico Collins Heavily Involved In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught seven of eight targets for 80 yards during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. He also added a seven-yard rush. Collins has impressed in his two games since returning from a calf injury, and he also benefitted from C.J. Stroud returning to the fold this week after he […]

Robert Woods Productive Prior To Injury In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) was productive during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans, catching all four of his targets for 58 yards. He exited with a hip injury late in the game and was deemed questionable to return but did not register a target in the fourth quarter. Depending on the status […]

Kevin Harris Breaks Off Big Reception Against Bills

New England Patriots running back Kevin Harris rushed for 15 yards on two carries during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also caught both of his targets for an additional 54 yards through the air. Most of his production came from a short pass that Harris ultimately took 48 yards down the field, putting […]

Demario Douglas Quiet In Week 17 Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught three of five targets for 31 yards during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots' passing attack had a very poor performance this week and, as a result, Douglas suffered. This has become a similar theme throughout the second half of the season. The rookie receiver […]
