What are we watching late
-
Marvin Harrison Jr.., WR, ARI (integer): Michael Wilson it's certainly a safer play, but it looks like Harrison will be able to play on Sunday. However, the team is expected to “make it easier for him to return” to action.
-
Xavier WeaverWR, ORI (hamstring): Andre Bacellia (neck) was placed on the IR, leaving Jalen Brooks as the only healthy alternative if Weaver couldn't go.
-
Drake LondonWR, ATL (knee): London is expected to play, as is TE Kyle Pitts Sr.. (knee), which was not on the team's latest injury report for the week.
-
Nick ChubbRB, KHOU (ribs): Since he practiced in full on Thursday and Friday, the chances of him playing are high. Meanwhile, Woody Marks (ankle) has been limited and now reports are coming in that it is expected to be inactive today. If it's true Jauhar Jordan may be a surprise for the sleeper.
-
Christian KirkWR, HOU (disease): Even if he plays, it's hard to trust any Texans other than Nico Collins.
Excluded until Sunday
-
Bam KnightRB, acute respiratory infection (ankle): Michael Carter takes a call Emari Demercado to perform return duties after Knight was assigned to IR.
-
KaDarel HodgeWR, ATL (lower leg): Hodge's season is over after he was placed on IR. Darnell Mooney And David Sills V as a result, they can retain their very modest fantastic value.
-
Matt PraterK, BUF (quadruple): Michael Badgley was signed this week to replace the veteran kicker.
-
Dylan SampsonRB, KLE (hand): Trayveon Williams will become the primary backup again Quinshawn Judkins.
-
David NjokuTE, CLE (knee): Harold Fannin Jr.. made the veteran TE's absence more sustainable.
-
Justin WatsonWR, HOU (Achilles): The receiver was not activated via IR prior to the Week 16 game. It's still possible he'll see some snaps in the last two weeks.
-
Bhaishul TutenRB, JAX (finger): Tuten will undergo surgery for the remainder of the regular season. DJ Dallas will join LeQuint Allen Jr.. in the backup mix behind Travis Etienne Jr..
-
Rashi RiceWR, KC (concussion): Tyquan Thornton also with a concussion, so QB Gardner Minshew will be forced to rely on Xavier Worthy.
-
Ty ChandlerRB, MIN (knee): It wasn't until Saturday that the team officially announced Chandler would remain on IR through Week 16. Aaron Jones Sr.. And Jordan Mason Of course, anyway, I don't need help right now.
-
Alvin KamaraRB, BUT (knee): To add to the Saints' problems in the background, Devin Neal (hamstring) was placed on IR. Looks like it's time Audric Estim. This is not someone a fantasy manager wants on his roster in the playoffs.
-
Mason TaylorTE, New York (neck): Jeremy Ruckertwho just signed a two-year extension with the team should see plenty of targets.
What we expected at the beginning
Active for today's games
-
Tee HigginsWR, CIN (concussion): He finally passed the league's concussion protocol and is now… active. Despite this, with Charlie Jones (ankle) outward, Mitchell Tinsley may be in line for additional targets.
-
Quentin JohnstonWR, LAC (groin): He was limited in training all week, but active I'll try it on Sunday. Tre' Harris (hip) was not on the team's final injury report and could be filled out if necessary.
-
Mason TiptonWR, NO (disease): WITH Devon Vale (shoulder) on IR, Saints could be down to just three Chris Olave, Kevin Austin Jr.. And Dante Pettis in VR. However, Tipton active.
-
Tyrod TaylorQB, New York (groin): Although Taylor says he feels well enough to play, Brady Cook will start playing for the Jets again. Taylor active but will be a backup. Justin Fields (knee) appears to be further away from return than Taylor and is inactive.
-
Gunnar HelmTHE, TEN (remaining): He split the TE job with Chig Okonkwo and there is active. I expected him to be in the lineup on Sunday.
-
From JeffersonWR, TEN (rear): Tennessee's top deep threat active and will play on Sunday.
Declared inactive on Sunday
