Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (Knee) OUT
Jackson has been ruled out this week and Tyler Huntley will get the start. It looks like Jackson has a shot to return next week.
Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans (Ankle) OUT
Tannehill has been ruled out with an ankle injury and his season is likely over. Malik Willis is expected to start for the remainder of the season. You can drop all your Titans who aren’t Derrick Henry.
Colt McCoy, Arizona Cardinals (Concussion) OUT
McCoy has been ruled out this week. The Cards are down to their QB3 Trace McSorley.
Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh Steelers (Concussion) IN
It looks like Pickett is on track to return from his latest concussion barring a setback.

Running Backs
Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts (Ankle) IR
Taylor suffered a high-ankle sprain last week and has been placed on IR ending his season.
Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots (Ankle) IN
Rhamondre hasn’t practiced much this week and is listed as questionable. However, he is fully expected to be out there on Saturday.
Damien Harris, New England Patriots (Thigh) GTD
The Pats have been unsurprisingly tough to read when it comes to Harris. It sounded like he’d be back last week and was inactive. We will have to just take a wait-and-see approach with him.
Jeff Wilson, Miami Dolphins (Hip) GTD
Wilson is questionable with a hip injury this week. He will likely be a game-time decision.
Chase Edmonds, Denver Broncos (Ankle) GTD
Edmonds is expected to return from IR this week. It’s unclear how or if he fits into this offense.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City Chiefs (Ankle) OUT
CEH will not return this week but has a real shot to get on the field in Week 17.
Khalil Herbert, Chicago Bears (Hip) IN
Herbert is expected to return from IR and play this week. He will likely eat into David Montgomery’s workload.
Wide Receivers
Jakobi Meyers, New England Patriots (Shoulder) GTD
Meyers is dealing with a shoulder injury, but it sounds like he’ll be able to play this week.
DeVante Parker, New England Patriots (Concussion) OUT
Parker will sit this one out with a concussion.
Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos (Hamstring) GTD
Sutton has been logging DNPs this week at practice and looks like he may be on the wrong side of questionable for this week.
Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks (Finger) OUT
Lockett will be out his week after injuring his finger last week and will likely miss additional time. However, this is a situation you should monitor heading into next week.
Brandin Cooks, Houston Texans (Calf)
It looks like Cooks is actually going to return this week after all. Nevertheless, it’s hard not to be skeptical until you see him on the field.
Nico Collins, Houston Texans (Foot) OUT
Collins will be sidelined again this week with a foot injury.
Marquise Brown, Arizona Cardinals (Groin) GTD
Brown has been downgraded mid-week due to a groin injury. We don’t know much more but that’s not a good sign.
Jarvis Landry, New Orleans Saints (Ankle) IR
Landry has been placed on IR and his season is over.
Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints (Hamstring) OUT
Olave was ruled out fairly quickly this week due to a hamstring injury. This would explain his limited snap count last week.
Mecole Hardman, Kansas City Chiefs (Abdomen) OUT
It doesn’t look like Hardman will be back this week but he hasn’t been ruled out yet. He’s inching closer to a return.
Treylon Burks, Tennessee Titans (Concussion) IN
Burks is expected to return this week but is nearly impossible to trust with Willis under center.

Tight Ends
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles (Shoulder) IN
Goedert will make his return from IR this week and be a huge boost for many fantasy lineups. Even with Minshew at QB.
Noah Fant, Seattle Seahawks (Knee) GTD
Fant didn’t practice this week until being limited on Thursday. We will have to wait and see how Friday plays out.
Hayden Hurst, Cincinnati Bengals (Calf) OUT
Hurst hasn’t played since Week 13 and there is a chance he has to sit out another one. We expect him to be a game-time decision at best this week if he’s not ruled out on Friday.
