The Seahawks placed RB Ken Walker (ankle) on IR. That knocks him out for the final two games of the regular season -- and Seattle's first two playoff games if they advance. We'll look for more info on Walker's injury and whether it'll impact his 2025 offseason. His absence leaves RB Zach Charbonnet in a workhorse role.
The Cowboys announced Thursday that WR CeeDee Lamb will miss the final two games of the season with his shoulder injury.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (back, foot) was not on the field for the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media. But ESPN's Stephen Holder hears that the team is "optimistic" Richardson will be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. "He has made consistent progress and is responding to treatment," Holder writes. "But the source said Richardson's performance in Friday's practice would be critical." We'll update Richardson's status again on Friday afternoon. His absence would leave QB Joe Flacco under center, which would be a big boost for WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.
Chargers TE Will Dissly (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots. He was a full participant in Thursday's practice, though, which should have him on track to play. Dissly has been out since Week 14. He had emerged as the Chargers' lead TE before the shoulder injury, averaging 5.4 targets, 4.0 catches, and 39 yards over his last eight healthy games. Dissly figures to resume lead duties against New England but would be tough to trust as a TE1 in fantasy lineups.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (ankle) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Patriots. RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is listed as questionable. He was designated to return from IR earlier this week, put in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, but did not practice on Thursday. We'll look for further updates on Dobbins' availability for this one. His absence would leave the Chargers down to RBs Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (toe) will miss practice again on Thursday, HC Brian Daboll said. “See where we’re at (Friday),” Daboll added. Nabers seems to be in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Colts -- and will carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he does suit up. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely caught just one pass in Wednesday's win over the Texans, but that belied season-high usage. He led the skill-position players by playing 16 of 19 passing downs and running a team-high 15 routes. His 76% snap share marked a season high. Likely's lone catch did go for a 9-yard TD, his second straight game and third among the past four with a score.
Texans QB C.J. Stroud wrapped up an alarming fantasy season with a bad outing in the lopsided Week 17 loss to Baltimore. Stroud threw for just 185 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT on 17-of-31 passing (5.97 yards per attempt). Barring a monumental QB collapse through the rest of Week 17, it'll mark Stroud's ninth weekly fantasy finish of 18th or lower this season. He sits outside the top 24 in fantasy points per game for the season.
Texans WR Tank Dell tore his ACL, MCL, and LCL and sustained damage to the meniscus in his left knee in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Dell will need multiple surgeries and might miss the entire 2025 season, Wilson adds.
Falcons WR Drake London (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's listed with a knee, rather than the previously reported hamstring. Regardless, the limited practice early in the week puts him on track to play vs. the Commanders on Sunday night. We'll keep you posted on London's status over the next few days.
Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He reportedly dodged a serious knee injury in Monday night's win over the Saints, but he's uncertain for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. We'll update Watson's status again tomorrow.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him to play vs the Browns this weekend.
Browns TE David Njoku (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He just got over a hamstring injury but picked up a knee injury in the Week 16 loss to the Bengals. Njoku is uncertain for this Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. We'll keep you posted on his status.
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip, wrist) put in a full practice on Wednesday. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers. The rookie checks in 45th in the Week 17 WR Rankings.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) did not practice on Wednesday. He's not a good bet to clear protocol in time for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. QB Kenny Pickett is the favorite to start that one, but we'll see if Hurts can get on the field tomorrow.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (back, foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He didn't miss a snap in last week's win over the Titans, so we're tentatively expecting Richardson to be available for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. Check back tomorrow for another update on his status for that one.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He aggravated an ankle injury in the Week 16 loss to the Falcons and seems iffy for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll update Tracy's status again tomorrow. His absence would leave Devin Singletary as New York's lead back -- and a low-level fantasy option.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for the rookie, who's battled groin and hip injuries recently. We'll see if Nabers gets back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's game vs. the Colts.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It looks like he's gearing up to play vs. the Raiders this weekend. Olave has been out since suffering his fifth documented concussion on November 3. If he plays on Sunday, though, he'll likely be a full-go. Unfortunately, QB Derek Carr (hand) remained out on Wednesday, so it looks like Olave would be catching passes from QB Spencer Rattler.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy managers should not be counting on him returning for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. New Orleans deployed a three-RB committee of Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams with Kamara out last week. It's a backfield to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
