The Colts have activated QB Carson Wentz from the COVID list. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the QB still needs to gain final clearance to play in Sunday's game against the Raiders. We'll watch for that heading into the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
The Chiefs have downgraded RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire to out for Sunday's game against the Bengals. It was more surprising that the team initially deemed him questionable than it is that he'll miss the game. We've had Darrel Williams projected as a strong starter all week. Kansas City also added Jerick McKinnon to the active roster. McKinnon has been out since Week 11 with a hamstring injury. We wouldn't bet on a big role at Cincinnati.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. HC Kyle Shanahan sure made it sound like Mitchell will play, though. "We’ll play Elijah as much as he can handle, so that’s about watching him, watching how his legs work, communicating with him," Shanahan said Friday. Mitchell has averaged 18.3 carries across his 9 outings this season and could reach that number on Sunday if that knee holds up.
Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) didn’t practice all week but is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. The team is evidently holding out hope that he’ll be able to play, but it seems unlikely. Look for Darrel Williams to operate as Kansas City’s feature back this weekend.
Cardinals S Budda Baker (ribs) and DE Zach Allen (ankle) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Allen managed only 1 limited practice, Friday. Baker put in limited workouts Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday.
Chargers S Derwin James carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos and is expected to return to the starting lineup. James remained limited in practice this week, but the lack of a game status suggests we should expect full playing time. We'd roll with James in IDP lineups in most cases, chasing the upside over worrying about lingering risk with his hamstring issue.
Broncos S Kareem Jackson (back, shoulder), DE Dre'Mont Jones (foot), LB Kenny Young (concussion), DE Shelby Harris (ankle) and CB Ronald Darby (shoulder) are all questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Washington DE Montez Sweat is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. He has been away from the team this week after his brother was shot and killed in Virginia. We'll check his status Sunday. Washington will be without CB William Jackson III for the 2nd straight game because of a calf injury.
Patriots S Adrian Phillips (knee, illness) and CB J.C. Jackson (elbow) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. Tampa Bay has ruled out EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder). That leaves the Bucs without both edge starters, as Shaq Barrett is already out for at least the rest of the regular season.
Rams DL Greg Gaines (hand) and S Taylor Rapp (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. We'll check their statuses Sunday morning.
The Broncos list RBs Javonte Williams (knee) and Melvin Gordon (thumb, hip) as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Both guys were limited in practice all week. They're not at 100% at this point of the season (who is?) but should be fine for Sunday.
Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. Drew Lock gets another start but is a shaky QB2 in fantasy lineups.
The Broncos on Friday placed LB Baron Browning and EDGE players Bradley Chubb and Jonathon Cooper on the COVID list. They'll miss Sunday's game against the Chargers.
The Jaguars on Friday placed CB Shaq Griffin on the COVID list. They also activated DE Josh Allen, LB Myles Jack and LB Damien Wilson, among others.
Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans after missing practice all week. That clears the way for Trey Lance to make his 2nd career start ... and factor into plenty of fantasy football matchups.
The Bears have activated DE Akiem Hicks from the COVID list. He spent 8 days on the list and will carry risk for IDP rosters in Week 17.
The Chargers have placed TE Jared Cook on the COVID list, knocking him out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. That leaves Stephen Anderson and Tre' McKitty at TE. Neither is an option for common season-long leagues. Anderson could be in play for DFS consideration at minimum salary.
Saints RB Mark Ingram (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers after being downgraded to limited participation in Thursday and Friday's practices. Ingram isn't a fantasy option, but his absence would be a boost for RB Alvin Kamara.
Cardinals WR Rondale Moore (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He’s remained Arizona’s #4 WR and isn’t a viable fantasy option.
