Christian McCaffrey Injury Update
McCaffrey (ankle) was listed as a limited participant during the 49ers' practice on Tuesday. It's not uncommon for high-profile players to rest during the first practice of the week, so the fact that McCaffrey saw the field in some capacity is a great sign. He should be a full-go for Saturday's game, ranking as the top running back in fantasy football.
Breece Hall Injury Update
The Jets have been eliminated from the playoffs, meaning Hall (knee) had the opportunity to answer questions about next season. The up-and-coming Iowa State product said he has recovered from his ACL tear faster than normal and should be ready for training camp. Given the burst and results he displayed earlier this year, Hall solidified himself as a high-end RB2 or low-end RB1 ahead of 2023.
Raheem Mostert Injury Update
X-rays showed that Mostert (thumb) suffered a broken bone during Sunday's win over the Jets. His status for Wild Card Weekend is certainly in doubt, and fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility that he doesn't suit up this coming weekend. In such a scenario, Jeff Wilson Jr. would have instant fantasy and DFS appeal given his upside as a runner and receiver.
DeeJay Dallas Injury Update
The Seahawks held a walk-through Tuesday, so their injury report is an estimation. Dallas (ankle, quad) was listed as a non-participant, but it's too early to tell whether or not he'll suit up this coming weekend.
