Rashaad Penny Questionable Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the 49ers. Penny returned to practice this week after a two-game absence, and head coach Pete Carroll expects Penny to return in the regular season finale. In a game where starters like Chris Carson could be rested early, Penny […]

Todd Gurley Ruled Out For Week 17

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the 49ers. Much to the dismay of fantasy owners, Gurley will miss the final two games of the regular season as they rest him up for a playoff run. C.J. Anderson, who ran for 167 yards and a touchdown […]

Spencer Ware, Darrel Williams Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs running backs Spencer Ware (hamstring) and Darrel Williams (hamstring) both practiced in full all week but are questionable for Week 17 against the Raiders. Barring a setback, we'd expect both to suit up against Oakland. Ware has missed the last two games and will likely enter a timeshare with Damien Williams, who […]

Austin Ekeler Will Play In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (neck) has been removed from the final injury report on Friday and will play in Week 17 against the Broncos. Ekeler has missed the last two games but could see considerable playing time on Sunday as they try to get him up to speed for the postseason. However, […]

Antonio Brown, James Conner Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) and running back James Conner (ankle) are both questionable for the must-win Week 17 game against the Bengals. Brown has missed practice the last two days and is undergoing more tests for his knee discomfort. He could be a game-time decision, but ultimately we'd expect him to play […]

Derrick Henry - Fantasy Football Legend

Fantasy football legends come in all different shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Sometimes it's the stars that shine even brighter when all eyes are on them. We saw this with Todd Gurley last season. Other times, it's the guys who fall into a bigger role due to unforeseen circumstances. It's how we saw Damien Williams, […]

Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Will Play Against Bucs

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, ribs) and running back Tevin Coleman (groin) will play in the Week 17 season finale against the Buccaneers. Jones currently leads the NFL in receiving yardage and will be a strong WR1 against a team he roasted earlier in the season. Coleman has been hit or miss as […]

Leonard Fournette Doubtful, Carlos Hyde Questionable

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) has been listed as doubtful for Week 17 against the Texans, while running back Carlos Hyde (knee) is questionable. Fournette is about to end a hugely disappointing season in 2018, playing in just eight games and rushing for 439 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and five touchdowns. […]

Lamar Miller Good To Go

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back Lamar Miller (ankle) is "good to go" for Week 17 against the Jaguars. Miller missed last week but is rearing to return against Jacksonville, against whom he ran for 100 yards and a touchdown against earlier this year. Miller will return to being a volume-based […]

Leonard Fournette Not At Practice Friday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) was not seen at practice on Friday for the second straight day, which is not a good sign for his availability in the Week 17 season finale against the Texans. Fournette could be doubtful to play at this point. You should go with other options if you […]

Damien Williams Receives Two-Year Extension

The Kansas City Chiefs and running back Damien Williams agreed to a two-year contract extension worth a maximum value of $8.1 million on Thursday, according to his agent. With Kareem Hunt out of the picture and Spencer Ware out injured the last two weeks, Williams has gone over 100 total yards from scrimmage and has […]

Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Miss Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, rib) and running back Tevin Coleman (groin) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Jones rarely practices late in the season, but he should be out there in Week 17 against the Buccaneers as he tries to win the receiving title for the second time […]

Lamar Miller Practicing In Full

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Miller is on track to return from a one-game absence in an important Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars. He's a volume-based RB2 who ran 22 times for 100 yards and a touchdown against Jacksonville on […]

Todd Gurley Not Practicing Thursday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (knee) won't practice for the second straight day on Thursday. However, Gurley could miss practice all week and still play in Week 17 against the 49ers. Gurley suffered similar symptoms after the season opener against the Raiders in Week 1. It's looking […]

Tevin Coleman To Be Limited Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (groin) will be limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign that Coleman will be able to play in Week 17 against the Buccaneers in what is likely to be his final game with the team, as he'll be a free agent in […]

Leonard Fournette Expected To Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is not expected to take part in practice on Thursday. Fournette was limited on Wednesday, so it's unclear if this is a setback or if the team is just resting him. Either way, he'll be a shaky volume-based RB2 in the season finale against a strong Texans […]

Rashaad Penny Practicing In Full

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. After missing the last two games, Penny is on track to return in Week 17 in a great matchup against the Cardinals. With Seattle possible resting Chris Carson as well, Penny could see more than his usual number of snaps, making him […]

Jared Cook, Jalen Richard Limited In Practice

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook (ribs) and running back Jalen Richard (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine for the Week 17 season finale against the Chiefs. It's a matchup that should require the Raiders to throw the ball often, which would benefit both Cook and Richard. Cook […]

LeGarrette Blount Has New Injury

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Blount has been playing through injuries in recent weeks and remains highly unproductive for Detroit. He ran the ball 11 times for just 29 yards in Week 16 and is averaging 2.8 yards per carry this year. He should […]

Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Not Practicing

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, ribs) and running back Tevin Coleman (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Jones has been fighting through injuries as usual but continues to play. While Jones had a quiet day last Sunday, he did have his fourth touchdown in the last three games. He had 10 catches for […]

Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Miller sat out in Week 16 and Coutee hasn't played since Nov. 26 against the Titans. Miller should return to a lead-back role if he's active against the Jaguars. It's a tough matchup, however, […]

Leonard Fournette, D.J. Chark Both Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday, while rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) practiced in full. Fournette saw a full complement of touches in the Week 16 win over the Dolphins and should suit up in the regular season finale against the Texans. It's a tough matchup, […]

Austin Ekeler Out Of Concussion Protocol

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (neck) is out of the concussion protocol, and head coach Anthony Lynn fully expects Ekeler to return in the Week 17 season finale against the Broncos. Ekeler hasn't played since Dec. 9, but he should immediately return to his change-of-pace role behind Melvin Gordon. Ekeler had a quiet […]

Spencer Ware On Track To Return

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday. Ware has missed the last two games but looks on his way to returning in Week 17 against the Raiders. In an excellent matchup, Ware would have low-end RB2 value if he's active this Sunday. Hurting his upside is the fact that […]

James Conner Practices In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday for the first time since he injured his ankle on Dec. 2. Conner has a real shot at returning for a must-win Week 17 game against the Bengals after missing the last three games. He'd have immediate RB2 upside […]

Todd Gurley Won't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (knee) will not take part in Wednesday's walkthrough practice. Gurley remains day-to-day after sitting out in Week 16. He's a question mark again this week for the regular season finale. If he misses his second straight game, C.J. Anderson will be the […]

Cowboys To Play Healthy Starters

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team will play all of their healthy starters in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Giants. “We’re just going to take all those guys’ situations day by day and really the overarching theme is anybody who is healthy and ready to play is going to play […]
