Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers caught 6 balls for 48 yards and a TD on 9 targets in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. He came down hard on his TD catch, though, and told reporters after the game that he aggravated the shoulder injury initially suffered on Thanksgiving night at Minnesota. We'll see about Meyers' outlook for Week 18. The fact that New England clinched a playoff berth with this one could affect his availability.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert caught a team-high 8 passes for 62 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Already down QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), Miami lost backup QB Teddy Bridgewater to a finger injury late in the 3rd quarter. QB Skylar Thompson targeted RBs with 11 of his 21 attempts after that, including 5 of Mostert's catches. We'll see who lines up behind center for the Dolphins in Week 18. RB Jeff Wilson Jr. led the rushing vs. New England, with 15 carries for just 45 yards. he caught 3 of 7 targets for 31 yards. Mostert went just 9-29 rushing. Expect both to remain outside the top 24 RBs in our Week 18 fantasy football rankings.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (NIR/rest) did not participate in practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 17 vs. the Patriots. No need to sound the alarms for a veteran rest day. Keep up with our feed for updates tomorrow.

The Raiders might not have EDGE Chandler Jones or LB Denzel Perryman in the lineup any more this season. Jones left Saturday night's loss to the Steelers with an elbow injury that found him carted from the sideline to the locker room. LB Denzel Perryman dislocated his left shoulder in the game. HC Josh McDaniels told reporters Monday that each player might miss the rest of the season, according to The Athletic's Tashan Reed. The Raiders are still not yet officially eliminated from the playoffs, but that seems likely to happen in Week 17. Barring some shift in the diagnosis for either player, we'd bet surprised to see either back on the field this season.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith threw for just 215 yards on 25-of-40 passing in Saturday's loss to the Chiefs, with 1 TD and 1 INT. His 74.5 passer rating was his lowest mark of the year. WR D.K. Metcalf led the receiving with 7 catches for 81 yards on 9 targets. RB DeeJay Dallas checked in next by catching all 6 of his targets for 32 yards. WR Marquise Goodwin went catch-less among 4 targets. TE Noah Fant caught the team's only TD among 2 receptions for 12 yards. Seattle might get better weather in Week 17 but will face a much tougher defense in the Jets.

Raiders RB Zamir White (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s game against Pittsburgh. The rookie hasn’t handled more than 3 carries in a game this season. Josh Jacobs will be busy once again.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. We’re not worried about the shoulder, but New England’s struggling passing game leaves Meyers as a weak WR3 play. WR Tyquan Thornton (knee) is also active.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is expected to play vs. the Bengals today. Meyers was limited in practice all week, but we never sensed much concern about his availability for this one. He's just a low-end WR3 option in a struggling New England passing game.

Dolphins RBs Raheem Mostert (NIR/rest) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) logged limited participation at practice on Thursday. With so many games happening on Saturday this week, it'll be tough to gauge lineup decisions for these two. We're of the mindset that both guys seem likely to play. Unfortunately, the schedule makes it so fantasy managers will have to decide what to do sooner rather than later. Mostert and Wilson Jr. are RB3/flex options if they both play.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 16 vs. the Bengals. WR DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out. Meyers is in the WR3/flex conversation in a neutral matchup on Saturday. The Patriots don't throw the ball a ton, but Meyers is usually a decent bet on a weekly basis for a modest target total.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. Veteran WR DeVante Parker (concussion) did not participate again for the 2nd consecutive day. It seems that Meyers is far likelier to play than Parker at this point. Tomorrow will tell us more about Meyers' availability for Week 16's matchup vs. the Bengals. Check back later.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert did not practice on Wednesday, officially listed as a veteran rest day. Teammate Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) participated in a limited fashion. The Dolphins' Week 16 showdown vs. the Packers is set for a Sunday kickoff. As such, there is still plenty of time for more information regarding their availability. Check back tomorrow as we learn more.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) logged limited participation in practice on Tuesday. Teammate DeVante Parker (concussion) did not practice at all. Week 16's game vs. the Bengals falling on a Saturday makes this situation a bit tougher. As such, we'll keep tabs on the Pats' injury report today regarding the health of this pass-catching duo.

Falcons QB Desmond Ridder threw for just 97 yards on 13-of-26 passing in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He took 4 sacks while averaging just 3.7 yards per pass attempts. The rookie added 38 yards on 6 rushing attempts. The performance confirmed that Ridder shouldn't be in season-long fantasy plans over the next few weeks, if you can help it. He did, at least, pepper fellow rookie WR Drake London with 11 targets, 42.3% of the team's total pass attempts.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, but we’re expecting him to play his usual role in this plus matchup. Meyers is in the WR3 mix.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is expected to play vs. the Raiders today. Meyers got in just 2 limited practices this week. But, considering it was a concussion and he's plenty familiar with the offense, we're expecting him to be ready for a full role in today's plus matchup.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert ran for 136 yards in Saturday night's loss to the Bills. Mostert posted nearly half of that with a 67-yard run in the 1st quarter but averaged a solid 4.3 yards on the rest of his carries as well. He ceded the team's lone rushing score to RB Salvon Ahmed. Mostert handled 74% of the team's RB carries, though, and would be a strong play against the Packers in Week 16 if Jeff Wilson Jr. remains out. Mostert will likely sit inside our top 20 at the position in the Week 16 fantasy football rankings even if Wilson is back.

The Patriots expect to have WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders, according to The Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan. If that's the case, Meyers should be a full-go in an excellent matchup. Vegas ranks 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs and 31st vs. slot receivers. Meyers has played 60% of his snaps in the slot this season.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday to another limited practice on Friday. That’s a strange progression for a guy in the concussion protocol. Patriots-Raiders doesn’t kick off until 4:05 pm ET on Sunday, but we should get an update on Meyers by that morning. Patriots WR DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out, leaving Nelson Agholor, Tyquan Thornton and Kendrick Bourne as New England’s top 3 healthy WRs.

The Patriots now say WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. He was originally listed as limited. It's a downgrade from a limited workout on Wednesday and has Meyers looking very iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
