Cardinals RB James Conner (heel) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the first 2 workouts of the week. HC Kliff Kingsbury has called Conner a game-time decision. Cardinals-Cowboys doesn’t kick off until 4:25 pm ET, but we’ll look for a Conner update on Sunday morning.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. He put in a limited practice on Wednesday that didn't go well -- and then sat out on Thursday and Friday. Jackson looks unlikely to play on Sunday. Look for QB Tyler Huntley to get the start.
Ravens WR Marquise Brown (illness) missed the final 2 practices of the week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. As long as this doesn’t turn out to be COVID, Brown should play. But you’ll need to check back Sunday to make sure he’s active.
Saints WR Tre’Quan Smith (chest) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. Hopefully you weren’t planning to use him in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
Browns RB Kareem Hunt returned to a limited practice on Friday – his first official workout since suffering a high-ankle sprain back in Week 14. Hunt now has a shot to play vs. the Steelers on Monday night, but we’ll get another update on his status on Saturday afternoon.
Titans WR A.J. Brown (calf) is not listed on the final Week 17 injury report. He missed Thursday’s practice but returned to a full workout on Friday. Brown is safe to get into fantasy lineups for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins.
Lions RB D’Andre Swift (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. HC Dan Campbell said they’ll “cut him loose.” There’s still some added risk with Swift in his first game since Week 12, but there’s also RB1 upside.
Vikings TE Tyler Conklin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Packers. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited on Thursday to full participation on Friday. So Conklin should play this weekend. But he’s not a recommended fantasy starter with Sean Mannion under center.
Colts TE Jack Doyle (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He put in a full practice on Friday, so he should play. Doyle, of course, is not a legitimate fantasy option.
Patriots WR Nelson Agholor (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and N’Keal Harry will again operate as New England’s top 3 WRs.
Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He was activated off the COVID list and put in a limited practice on Friday. Between the COVID, hamstring and an easily winnable game against the Jets, we’d be a little surprised if Evans played on Sunday. But we’ll find out for sure around 11:30 am ET.
Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He tweaked his ankle on Wednesday and didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday. Interim HC Harold Goodwin said Friday that it's "possible" that Brown is able to play this weekend. We’ll get Tampa’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but Brown will obviously come with elevated risk if he ends up playing.
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs. Braxton Berrios figures to get another game as New York’s primary slot receiver but would be a desperation fantasy play.
Rams HC Sean McVay said Friday that RB Cam Akers (Achilles) is not likely to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. Akers wasn't a realistic fantasy option this week anyway, but his absence just makes RB Sony Michel an even bigger lock to dominate backfield work. Jake Funk will be Los Angeles' #2 RB.
Bears QB Andy Dalton will start Sunday's game vs. the Giants, HC Matt Nagy announced on Friday. QB Nick Foles will be the backup, so QB Justin Fields evidently isn't ready to return from that ankle injury. Dalton is just a low-end QB2 in fantasy lineups, although he's not a significant downgrade from Fields for Chicago's skill-position guys.
Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington. RB Jordan Howard (stinger) is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. If Howard is able to play this weekend, he’d likely split backfield work with Boston Scott. If Howard is out, Scott becomes a strong RB2 play.
Giants WR Kadarius Toney (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bears. WRs Darius Slayton, John Ross and Collin Johnson are also out, leaving Pharoh Cooper, David Sills and Alex Bachman behind Kenny Golladay on the WR depth chart. Golladay still isn’t a bankable fantasy play with Jake Fromm or Mike Glennon under center.
Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy was placed on the COVID list on Friday, making him a long shot to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday. WR Tim Patrick is also on the COVID list, so Denver will likely be down to WRs Courtland Sutton, Kendall Hinton and Diontae Spencer. Sutton and TEs Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam should get target boosts this weekend, but it's still tough to get excited about any of them with QB Drew Lock.
Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. After a limited workout on Wednesday, he didn't practice on Thursday or Friday. So it looks like Sanders is in real danger of missing this one. His absence would turn WR Gabriel Davis into a full-time player -- and an intriguing fantasy option vs. the #29 WR defense.
Bucs interim HC Harold Goodwin said Friday that WR Antonio Brown "tweaked" his ankle in practice this week. Brown went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday, so it seems like that tweak happened on Wednesday. Goodwin added that it's "possible" that Brown is able to play this week. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
