Christian McCaffrey Injury Update
McCaffrey (knee) upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and has been cleared to play against the Seahawks. He should be viewed as the No. 1 back in DFS formats this weekend, especially with a favorable matchup on tap.
Kenneth Walker III Injury Update
Walker missed practice on Wednesday and upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday. He was ultimately removed from the final injury report and will suit up this weekend while operating as the Seahawks' workhorse back.
Raheem Mostert Injury Update
Mostert (broken thumb) did not practice at all this week and has officially been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bills. Jeff Wilson Jr. should serve as Miami's lead back, offering upside in the running and passing games. He's shaping up to be a strong DFS option in the Dolphins' critical win-or-go-home contest.
Gus Edwards Injury Update
Edwards (concussion) progressed from a non-participant Wednesday to a full participant Friday. He was ultimately removed from the Ravens' final injury report and should play on Sunday, but he'll find himself in a backup role behind J.K. Dobbins.
DeeJay Dallas Injury Update
Dallas (ankle, quad) never logged a full session this week, but he did manage to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday. As a result, he has been listed as questionable heading into the Wild Card Round. Dallas has shown upside in the receiving game, making him a solid DFS and gambling option.
Kene Nwangwu Injury Update
Nwangwu (illness) missed Friday's practice and is officially listed as questionable to play against the Giants this coming weekend. He's not on the fantasy, DFS, or gambling radar.
