Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. has been arrested and charged with misdemeanor property damage after an alleged domestic dispute with the mother of his son. We wouldn't bet on the situation affecting Gay's availability for Sunday's game against the Bills, but it'll be something to watch for potential league discipline.
Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) did not practice on Wednesday. That follows a limited practice on Tuesday and puts MVS' status for Saturday's Divisional Round game vs. the 49ers in question. We'll get another update on Thursday.
Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. That seemingly puts him on track to play vs. the 49ers on Saturday after he exited Week 18 with the back injury. We'll get another update on MVS on Wednesday.
Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) is active for tonight's Wild Card game vs. the Steelers. He's been mostly excellent as Kansas City's lead back this season, but the toe issue adds some risk to his fantasy profile in this one.
Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers. He got in 3 limited practices this week and is tentatively expected to play. But check back around 7 pm ET on Sunday to make sure he's active.
Saints HC Sean Payton said Monday that QB Taysom Hill will have 2 surgeries to repair the Lisfranc injury in his left foot. The 1st procedure will repair the injury with a piece of hardware; the 2nd will be later to remove that hardware. Payton didn't have a projected timeline for recovery for Hill. But, based on the fact that Hill needs 2 surgeries, former NFL head team Dr. David Chao expects him to be sidelined for 6-9 months. The long end of that timetable would threaten his availability for the start of the 2022 campaign. We'll monitor Hill's rehab this offseason.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that he "anticipates" RB Darrel Williams (toe) being available for Sunday night's game vs. the Steelers. Williams hurt his toe on the last play of the 1st half of the Week 18 win over Denver and did not return. "It's still a little tender, but he's working through that and we'll see how it goes this week," Reid said. We'll keep an eye on Williams' practice participation this week.
Saints QB Taysom Hill was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Falcons with what HC Sean Payton told Fox's Laura Okmin is a Lisfranc injury to his left foot. We'll look for more details, but that's an issue that'll likely keep Hill from playing in the playoffs if New Orleans gets there. Hill's absence would leave QB Trevor Siemian as the Saints' starter.
Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is out for the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Lions with a back injury. Green Bay also pulled QB Aaron Rodgers, WR Davante Adams and WR Allen Lazard at halftime, so it's unclear how serious Valdes-Scantling's injury is. He'll get a 1st-round bye to heal up before the Divisional Round.
Chiefs RB Darrel Williams hurt a big toe on the final play of the 1st half of Saturday's game vs. the Broncos. He didn't record a touch in the 2nd half. We'll keep an eye on Williams -- and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire -- this coming week. The Chiefs will host a Wild Card game unless the Titans lose to the Texans on Sunday.
The Saints have activated LB Demario Davis and S Malcolm Jenkins from the COVID list. They placed S Marcus Williams on the list Wednesday, however, which should knock him out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Saints QB Taysom Hill has been activated from the COVID list. He should be back under center vs. the Panthers on Sunday and will be a low-end QB1 option for Week 17 fantasy lineups.
Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been activated from the COVID list, putting him on track to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings. MVS totaled 31 targets over his last 4 games before missing last week. That stretch included a 4-123-1 line on 10 targets against Minnesota.
The Raiders have placed S Johnathan Abram on IR for his season-ending left shoulder injury that will require surgery. Dallin Leavitt made his 1st NFL start in Abram's place Sunday against the Broncos, collecting just a single assist. The Raiders have also activated CB Nate Hobbs from the COVID list. His role could increase this week, depending on who else does or doesn't make it back from the COVID list in the Vegas secondary.
Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu left Sunday's win over the Steelers in the 2nd half with a quad injury. We'll see about the severity over the next few days.
The Saints on Friday placed LB Demario Davis on the COVID list after a positive test. That'll knock him out for Monday night's game against the Dolphins.
Saints QB Taysom Hill has been placed on the COVID list. He's joined by QB Trevor Siemian. That leaves 4th-round rookie QB Ian Book to make his 1st career start vs. the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The Notre Dame product was a mediocre college passer, leaving school with a 63.8% completion rate, 7.8 yards per attempt and 72 TDs vs. 20 INTs. He did run for 1,517 yards and 17 TDs over 4 college seasons -- and then ran a 4.65-second 40-yard dash at his Pro Day. Book goes just 6'0 and 211 pounds, though, so he's no Taysom Hill. Book is only in play for DFS showdown contests. Expect a heavy dose of RBs Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram on Monday night.
The Packers on Tuesday placed WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the COVID list. His status for Saturday's game against the Browns is not yet clear.
Raiders S Johnathan Abram left Monday night's game at Cleveland in the 2nd half with a shoulder injury. He's officially questionable to return.
Lions RB Jamaal Williams has been activated from the COVID list, putting him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. RB Craig Reynolds impressed in Williams' absence the past 2 weeks, so it's unclear what this backfield will look like the rest of the way. We'll look for clues leading up to Sunday's game.
