Tim Patrick exits practice with knee injury
Teams fear both are significant
By: Mike Krueger | Aug 2 2022, 3:14 pm
|
Brutal day at #Broncos practice: Both standout WR Tim Patrick and RB Damarea Crockett went down with apparent knee injuries and both are having MRIs. There is a fear, sources say, that both are significant. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Patrick was set to lineup as the Broncos No.3 receiver opposite Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. KJ Hamler (ACL) was recently activated of the PUP list but will likely be limited during camp as he gets back into shape. Sutton and Jeudy are the current fantasy options in the Broncos passing game.

TE Irv Smith has surgery on injured thumb
Has not been ruled out for the opener
By: Mike Krueger | Aug 2 2022, 2:05 pm
|
#Vikings TE Irv Smith suffered a thumb injury yesterday and had surgery today, coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters. He has not been ruled out for the opener. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Irv missed all of last season with a knee injury and is now getting off to a rocky start in 2022 with a thumb injury that is likely to cost him the rest of the pre-season. It sounds likely that he'll be ready for Week 1 but missing practice time in August is not ideal especially when the Vikings are installing a new offense.

WR James Washington out with fractured right foot
Surgery to come
By: Mike Krueger | Aug 1 2022, 7:30 pm
|
As feared, Cowboys WR James Washington fractured his right foot, two people familiar with situation said. Surgery to come. Dallas to be without both Washington, Michael Gallup to begin season. (Michael Gehlken on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: More specifically, a Jones fracture for the Cowboys wideout. Gehlken also noted that this same injury put DE DeMarcus Lawrence on the shelf for 10 games in 2021. A free agent signee isn't out of the question. Rookie Jalen Tolbert, Noah Brown, and Simi Fehoko round out the current depth chart.

Van Jefferson to see a specialist regarding knee issue
Faces the prospect of missing a few weeks
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 31 2022, 11:19 am
|
#Rams WR Van Jefferson will see a specialist on Monday for a knee issue that has been plaguing him, source said. Jefferson has been doing maintenance and faces the prospect of missing a few weeks. He’ll have more info following the appointment, including if he needs surgery. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It's not a good sign that he's going to see a specialist. Hopefully this isn't a serious issue that would derail the season of the Rams No.3 wide receiver. Jefferson posted a respectable 50-802-6 line last season. We should get more info on the specifics of the injury in a few days.

Christian Watson dealing with knee injury
PUP list
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 28 2022, 12:09 pm
|
Christian Watson’s injury that landed him on PUP was a knee. Brian Gutekunst said yesterday Watson had a procedure before camp instead of playing through the injury. It’s unclear how long he will remain on PUP. (Ryan Wood on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Watson was placed on the PUP on 7/22 and the Packers have said very little about the extent of the injury. This isn't good for news for a rookie receiver who needs as much practice time as possible to build a connection with the offense and the quarterback. Given the opportunity in Green Bay, Watson has a chance to crack the starting lineup, but is currently behind the eight ball.

Irv Smith expected to be full-go at the beginning of camp
Vikings TE coming off knee injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 26 2022, 12:45 pm
|
Kevin O’Connell says he expects Irv Smith to be full-go at the beginning of training camp, after the #Vikings took it slow with him this spring. They’ll evaluate him every day, but liked how he looked with the group of players who reported early this week, O’Connell said. (Ben Goessling on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Smith missed the 2021 season with a knee injury so it's a positive sign that he's not expected to be limited when camp begins. With Tyler Conklin now with the Jets and the Vikings expected to be a little more pass-happy, Irv is a nice late-round target at the tight end position.

Raheem Mostert cleared for training camp
Not placed on PUP list
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 25 2022, 10:57 am
|
Great sign for Raheem Mostert, who has made amazing progress coming off knee surgery last year. Expected to have a key role in #Dolphins offense under new HC Mike McDaniel. (Cameron Wolfe on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Mostert is familiar with McDaniel and his zone running schemes from their days in San Francisco. He's coming a knee injury and missed all but one game last season and has a crowded Dolphins' running back room to deal with including Chase Edmonds, Sony Michel and Myles Gaskin. Mostert has a very affordable RB52 price tag currently in PPR leagues.

John Metchie III diagnosed with leukemia
Texans rookie wideout likely to miss 2022 season
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 24 2022, 1:30 pm
|
"Recently I was diagnosed with APL (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia), the most curable form of Leukemia. I am currently receiving great medical care, am in good spirits and I expect to make a recovery at a later point in time. As a result of this diagnosis, I will likely not be playing football this season. My main focus will be on my health and recovery." - John Metchie (Texans on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The good news is, he expects to make a full recovery in hopes of playing in the 2023 season. Metchie was selected by the Texans in the 2nd round of this year's draft. Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins remain the top two options for the Texans at wide receiver.

Jameson Williams not expected to be ready for training camp
Recovering from ACL injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 9 2022, 11:24 am
|
Jameson Williams not expected to be ready for training camp on Day 1, according to Dan Campbell. Williams will remain in Detroit throughout most of the summer to rehab his ACL (Kyle Meinke on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Williams is going to be hard-pressed to be ready for the season given he suffered his ACL injury on January 10th. As a rookie, he's going to miss valuable practice time this pre-season. His fantasy contributions in 2022 are more likely to come later in the season.

Seahawks unclear when Chris Carson will return
Neck surgery in 2021
By: Mike Krueger | Apr 23 2022, 9:00 am
|
The Seahawks remain unclear if or when running back Chris Carson will be able to return after neck surgery late last year. And whether the Seahawks think he will be able to play in 2022 could impact how they approach the draft next week. They could take a running back as depth and competition, especially with Carson and Rashaad Penny under contract for only one more year.
For now, Carroll repeated what he said earlier this offseason that there’s nothing new on Carson’s status. (Seattle Times)
FFToday's Take: Carson was limited to four games in 2021 and doesn't appear to be a lock to return in 2022. For now, Rashaad Penny should be considered the most likely starting RB for Seattle but they could address the position in the upcoming draft.

Irv Smith expected to be ready for training camp
Meniscus injury in final pre-season game
By: Mike Krueger | Apr 19 2022, 2:44 pm
|
Irv Smith Jr. says he expects to be full go by training camp: "That's the plan." He's easing into on-field work, wasn't running routes in open portion today: "I wouldn’t put an exact ‘this percent’ or ‘this percent,’ because every day I’m getting stronger and faster." (Andrew Krammer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Smith is rehabbing from a meniscus injury that happened in the final pre-season game of last year which caused him to miss the entire 2021 regular season. The Vikings have Chris Herndon and a bunch placeholders at the tight end position so Smith should be the lead tight end as long as he remains healthy.

Blake Jarwin had hip surgery in February
Dalton Schultz set to be a free agent
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 3 2022, 2:15 pm
|
Multiple sources say the Cowboys have serious concerns about TE Blake Jarwin. He underwent a particular hip surgery that’s only been done on hockey and basketball players. Sources also indicate the team is confident in Blake Jarwin’s ability to rehab from surgery. His injury along with Dalton Schultz’s free agency has the Cowboys thin at the TE position. (Calvin Watkins on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Jarwin's rehab could linger into the 2022 season and with Dalton Schultz set to be a free agent, the Cowboys have some depth issues at the tight end position. It's likely Dallas will look to retain Schultz in free agency, and if they do, he will be the option to target for fantasy owners.

Sprained knee for Joe Burrow
Won't require surgery
By: Mike Krueger | Feb 15 2022, 3:00 pm
|
#Bengals QB Joe Burrow suffered a knee injury in the Super Bowl that won't require surgery, sources say, based on initial tests. He’ll have to rehab, but the sprain shouldn’t drastically alter his offseason. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Burrow was down on the ground after getting bent awkwardly on a tackle. He finished the game but it was obvious some damage had been done. It sounds like he avoided a significant injury but the Bengals will surely take a cautious approach to his workload this off-season.

ACL injury for Odell Beckham Jr.
Second ACL injury for Beckham
By: Mike Krueger | Feb 14 2022, 3:00 pm
|
#Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. is believed to have torn his ACL in last night’s Super Bowl win, source said. That means a long road of recovery for the free agent, who has a challenge to be ready for 2022. Beckham had 2 catches for 52 yards, 1 TD and 1 moonwalk before the injury. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Beckham went down late in the first half of the Super Bowl with a non-contact injury to the same knee he injured in 2020. This will be the second ACL injury in two years which is certainly going to hurt his free agent value this off-season. Beckham has said publicly that he would like to return to the Rams, even at a pay cut.

Rams activate Darrell Henderson, Tyler Higbee Out
Sprained MCL for Higbee
By: Mike Krueger | Feb 11 2022, 4:02 pm
|
The #Rams officially activated RB Darrell Henderson and NT Sebastian Joseph-Day from Injured Reserve... but placed TE Tyler Higbee and OT Joseph Noteboom on IR. Both are out for Sunday. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Higbee was a long shot to play in Super Bowl LVI after injuring his knee during the Conference Championship game. Kendall Blanton is expecting to fill in after catching 5 passes for 57 yards on five targets against the 49ers. He's got some DFS appeal. How much Henderson plays is somewhat of a mystery. It's likely he'll be third in the pecking order behind Cam Akers and Sony Michel making him a dart-throw on this Showdown slate.

Robert Woods could be cleared by minicamp
Recovering from November ACL tear
By: Doug Orth | Feb 10 2022, 10:30 pm
|
Robert Woods tore his ACL in November during practice one day after the Rams agreed to terms with WR Odell Beckham Jr. and Woods jogged for the first time Wednesday since getting hurt. It felt good, and he’s on track to be cleared by minicamp in the spring. Woods anticipates a full recovery by the spring, but he emphasized the need for patience before he feels like he’s more than medically cleared and actually ready to play football again.
(PFN - Aaron Wilson)
FFToday's Take: Beckham's impending free agency figures to play a large role in how important Woods will be for fantasy purposes in 2022, although he will almost certainly remain a fantasy starter either way. If OBJ leaves, Woods should be a low-end WR2 at worst. If Beckham returns, Woods would likely be a high-end WR3 at best.

Tyler Higbee dealing with MCL sprain
Status for Super Bowl uncertain
By: Doug Orth | Jan 31 2022, 10:00 pm
|
Tyler Higbee sprained his MCL, per McVay. Team will try to get him back for SB but will be day to day process. (The Athletic - Jourdan Rodrigue)
FFToday's Take: Much as is the case with C.J. Uzomah, who also suffered an MCL sprain on Sunday, Higbee figures to be a longshot to be completely healthy in two weeks. Kendall Blanton came up big in Higbee's absence in the NFC Championship and would likely be a decent bet for at least five targets in the Super Bowl if Higbee is unable to make it back in time. Blanton would be the preferred option over Drew Sample if neither starting tight end is cleared to play in the Super Bowl.

MCL sprain for C.J. Uzomah, could play in Super Bowl
MRI encouraging
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 31 2022, 1:05 pm
|
#Bengals coach Zac Taylor says the MRI was “encouraging.” Just an MCL sprain. He’s got a chance. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: C.J. Uzomah has very emotional as he left the AFC Championship game on a cart. It seems unlikely that he'll be able to recover in time to play in Super Bowl LVI but it's certainly a possibility. Drew Sample is the next man up.

Bucs activate Leonard Fournette, waive Le'Veon Bell
Fournette expected to play
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 22 2022, 3:50 pm
|
Bucs are waiving Le’Veon Bell today to make room for Leonard Fournette being activated off injured reserve. (Greg Auman on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: We've assumed this transaction was coming and here it is. Fournette is expected to play against the Rams on Sunday after missing the last month with a hamstring injury. With Ronald Jones out, expect Giovani Bernard to backup Fournette with a sprinkle of Ke'Shawn Vaughn mixed in.

Derrick Henry not expected to be on a snap count
Missed nine games with foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 22 2022, 10:17 am
|
I was told Derrick Henry will not be on a snap count, he will have no limitations, and the coaching staff will keep a close eye on him to watch his conditioning and comfort. The team practiced in pads this week to get him ready to take his hits. (Dianna Russini on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like the Titans are ready to roll with Henry in their Divisional game against the Bengals. He missed nine games with a foot injury which caused the Titans to go with a committee approach using D'Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard for the bulk of running back touches. With Henry back in the mix, he's is in the top tier of fantasy running backs this week.

Derrick Henry activated off Injured Reserve
Missed 9 games with foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 21 2022, 4:00 pm
|
Titans officially activated RB Derrick Henry off injured reserve and he is expected to start Saturday vs. the Bengals. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Henry last played in Week 8, missing nine games with a foot injury. It remains to been how much work he will get but he's expected to start against the Bengals and it would be shocking if he didn't lead the Titans' running backs in snaps and carries.

Breshad Perriman unlikely to play, abdominal injury
Bucs WR missed practice Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 21 2022, 12:22 pm
|
Arians says Breshad Perriman has a new abdominal injury with a tear and didn’t practice at all today. Seems unlikely to be able to go Sunday. With Perriman and Grayson still question marks, Arians said receiver John Brown has looked very good in practice and they’ll consider elevating him Sunday for depth at receiver. (Greg Auman on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Bucs are going to be short-handed at receiver against the Rams with Mike Evans likely called upon to do the heavy lifting. Tyler Johnson and Scotty Miller should also see plenty of snaps in the Divisional Round.

Final decision on Derrick Henry coming Friday
RB has practiced the last two weeks
By: Doug Orth | Jan 20 2022, 9:40 pm
|
Vrabel: Derrick Henry is progressing well. We added a little more to his workload each day. We’ll make a decision tomorrow. (Titans Insider - Terry McCormick)
FFToday's Take: Vrabel also noted that the team is adding "a little more to his workload each day (in practice)," suggesting it is likely a formality he will play on Sunday. The major question is more likely if he will return to the 25-30 touch workload he was seeing pre-injury or if the Titans will let D'Onta Foreman take a handful of carries this weekend. Either way, Henry has a great shot to be the top-scoring back in fantasy this week even though he hasn't played since Week 8.

Leonard Fournette back at practice Thursday
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 20 2022, 11:45 am
|
Bucs tailback Leonard Fournette, still technically on injured reserve, was spotted at the portion of Thursday morning’s practice open to reporters. Two days ago, Fournette tweeted a message suggesting he would be ready for Sunday’s NFC divisional playoff against the Rams. Ronald Jones, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, was out of his protective boot and working with a trainer. (Rick Stroud on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It seems like Fournette is trending towards playing after sitting out Wildcard Weekend against the Eagles. We should know more after practice on Friday. Giovani Bernard and Ke'Shawn Vaughn are expected to be available as well.

Randall Cobb expected to play against 49ers
Last played in Week 12
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 19 2022, 12:50 pm
|
Matt LaFleur on Randall Cobb: “I would anticipate him playing in this game.” (Matt Schneidman on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Cobb last played in Week 12 when suffered a core muscle injury. His presence will ding the fantasy value of Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling making all three risky fantasy plays in the Divisional Round.

Bucs RBs remain uncertain for Divisional Round
Fournette, RoJo "question marks" versus Rams
By: Doug Orth | Jan 18 2022, 12:40 am
|
Arians said Bucs will have to see if Leonard Fournette can go full speed on his hamstring, said Ronald Jones isn't cutting yet on his injured ankle, so both remain question marks for next weekend's game. (The Athletic - Greg Auman)
FFToday's Take: Both backs sat out the Wild Card win against the Eagles, so it is not terribly surprising Arians remain iffy on their status a day after the game. Jones did not practice at all last week, making him the more unlikely of the two to go against the Rams. Fournette remains on IR, so the team does not have to report his practice status. Fantasy managers or DFS players will have to wait on beat writers for confirmation one way or the other later in the week. If neither one can go, Giovani Bernard would be the preferred option over Ke'Shawn Vaughn from this backfield given his involvement in the passing game.

Jimmy Garoppolo nursing shoulder injury
HC expects him to practice Wednesday
By: Doug Orth | Jan 18 2022, 12:20 am
|
QB Jimmy Garoppolo has a "slight shoulder sprain" - his throwing shoulder - but should be able to practice Wednesday, Kyle Shanahan said. (Eric Branch on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Shanahan has been wrong or just plain deceptive when discussing his team's injuries a few times this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if Jimmy G struggles to get a full practice in this week and/or misses the Divisional Round game against the Packers. Either way, fantasy managers and DFS players probably aren't going to use him much anyway. If he sits, rookie Trey Lance would be thrust into the lineup and make for an interesting DFS punt - one with a huge ceiling and a low floor.

Leonard Fournette not expected to play Wildcard Weekend
Giovani Bernard will be active
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 15 2022, 3:32 pm
|
Source tells me Lavonte David and Giovani Bernard will be activated from IR. Leonard Fournette will not be activated. (Jenna Laine on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Fournette (hamstring) got in some practice this week but apparently isn't ready to go. The Bucs will have Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Le'Veon Bell and Giovani Bernard active for their games against the Eagles. Given Bernard has missed the last five weeks with knee and hip issues. Vaughn has some uninspiring Flex appeal this week.

JuJu Smith-Schuster expected to play Sunday night
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 15 2022, 2:15 pm
|
God answered my prayers & I’ve recovered from my season-ending shoulder injury earlier than expected. I can’t believe I get another chance to take the field with this team and play in a playoff game to keep our season alive. Steelers Nation, #HereWeGo! (JuJu on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: He's not really a fantasy option but it appears JuJu Smith-Schuster is going to play Sunday night. How much he plays after a 13-week absence is unclear.
|
|
|
Najee Harris removed from injury report
Expected to play Sunday night
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 15 2022, 12:51 pm
|
Steelers are removing RB Najee Harris from the injury/status report with his elbow injury, and he is expected to play Sunday night vs. the Chiefs. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Even though Harris was on the injury report with an elbow issue we didn't have too much concern about his availability for the Steelers Wildcard game against the Chiefs. His volume makes him a solid play even with the Steelers being 12.5 point underdogs.
|
|
 |
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Out for Wildcard Weekend
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 14 2022, 2:20 pm
|
Clyde Edwards-Helaire didn't practice for Chiefs today for second straight day. He will not play for Chiefs on Sunday. Tyreek Hill and Darrel Williams completed the practice week and the plan is for both to play against the Steelers. (Adam Teicher on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With CEH out, the Chiefs will lean on Darrel Williams, Derrick Gore and Jerick McKinnon at running back with Darrel having the most fantasy upside. The Steelers gave up the 7th most fantasy points to running backs this season.
|
|
|
Leonard Fournette a gametime decision
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 14 2022, 12:42 pm
|
The only players out for Sunday's game is Cyril Grayson and Ronald Jones, Bruce Arians said. "There's about four game-time decisions, the guys coming off IR or have been out, that we'll have to see on the field Sunday before the game." "I feel pretty good about Shaq (Barrett) and JPP,'' Arians said. "The most questionable would be Lavonte (David) with Leonard Fournette." (Rick Stroud on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Fournette injured his hamstring in Week 15 and hasn't played since so it will take a leap of faith for fantasy owners to plug him in their lineups. The majority of beat reporters feel like Fournette will go given his practice participation this week. If he misses, Ke'Shawn Vaughn would get the majority of reps at running back but wouldn't be a recommended fantasy play.

James Conner, Chase Edmonds gameday decisions
Edmonds says he's playing
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 13 2022, 1:16 pm
|
Listening to Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds just now leads me to believe both he and RB James Conner will be ready to go Monday night against the Rams. Both players have been banged up. (Bob McManaman on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Speaking to the media, HC Kliff Kingsbury said Conner (ribs) and Edmonds (ribs, toe) will be gameday decisions but Edmonds said he would be good to go. It's likely Conner will be playing as well but its difficult to tell at this point if he will be limited. Both will be risky Flex plays in the Wildcard Round of the fantasy playoffs.

Cyril Grayson, Ronald Jones Doubtful for Wildcard Weekend
Bucs walkthrough practice on Wednesday
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 12 2022, 12:45 pm
|
Cyril Grayson and Ronald Jones are doubtful for Sunday, Arians said. (Rick Stroud on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Head coach Bruce Arians speaking to the media today labeled both offensive players as Doubtful for the Bucs game against the Eagles. We're expecting Leonard Fournette to be in a workhorse role in his first game back since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 15.

Tony Pollard expected to play in Wild Card Round
Sat out season finale to rest foot injury
By: Doug Orth | Jan 11 2022, 1:45 am
|
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said on @1053thefan that he feels great about RB Tony Pollard’s availability for Sunday’s playoff game against the 49ers: “Absolutely. He’ll be ready to roll.” Pollard (foot) didn’t play Saturday. (The Athletic - Jon Machota)
FFToday's Take: Pollard's return takes on slightly less importance with Ezekiel Elliott looking more like himself of late. With that said, Dallas will definitely welcome his explosiveness against the 49ers. Pollard's weekly floor has been about 10 touches and could range higher than that in any game where the Cowboys find themselves in negative game script. That could easily happen this weekend, making Pollard a worthwhile ceiling play in DFS.

Tyreek Hill should be OK for first round of playoffs
Injured heel in Week 18
By: Doug Orth | Jan 11 2022, 1:30 am
|
Tyreek Hill injured his heel warming up for the team’s game against the Denver Broncos on Saturday, seeing limited snaps in the game. Reid also had positive news when it came to his star wide receiver.
“The heel was sore after the game, and it’s making a little progress the other way,” he said. “We’re anticipating he’s going to be OK to go. He’s another one that wants to play every snap he can.” (Arrowhead Pride - Pete Sweeney)
FFToday's Take: Hill may have finished with a career-high 111 catches this season, but the way he finished the regular season was far from memorable. After posting a 12-148-1 line in Week 15 against the Chargers, Hill totaled nine receptions for 61 scoreless yards over the final three games. After logging just 12 plays in the season finale, it seems unlikely the speedster will be worthy of a play in DFS or playoff leagues this weekend versus the Steelers.

Cyril Grayson nursing hamstring injury
Status in question for Wildcard game
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 10 2022, 12:17 pm
|
#Bucs HC Bruce Arians says that the hamstring injury to Cyril Grayson Jr. is not quite as bad as they thought, but his availability for this Sunday is in question. (Pewter Report on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Grayson has helped fill the void of Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin missing time due to injury, suspension and shenanigans but should be considered highly questionable for the Bucs Wildcard game against the Eagles. Expect Tom Brady to lean on Mike Evans, Breshad Perriman and Rob Gronkowski

Waller, Jacobs listed as Questionable for Raiders
Both are gametime decisions
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 7 2022, 4:00 pm
|
Darren Waller was a limited participant in walk-throughs throughout the week, which marked the first time he practiced since suffering knee and back injuries against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. He’s listed as questionable to play Sunday. Running back Josh Jacobs (ribs) was a limited participant all week. He’s questionable to play, but he’ll suit up if he can tolerate the pain. (The Athletic)
FFToday's Take: Waller is going to be a gametime decision and is no lock to play a full amount of snaps even if he is active. We should get a better read on Waller's status Sunday morning. Jacobs seems a better bet to play but both should will be uncomfortable fantasy options in Week 18.

Diontae Johnson off the Covid list
Placed on the list Thursday
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 7 2022, 3:03 pm
|
The #Steelers have officially activated WR Diontae Johnson from the COVID-19 reserve list. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Johnson was placed on the Covid list just yesterday and now removed a little over 24 hours later. He'll resume his role as the top option for Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh's version of the horizontal raid.
|

|
Chase Edmonds ruled Out for Week 18
Toe, rib injuries for Edmonds
By: Mike Krueger | Jan 7 2022, 1:26 pm
|
Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said RB Chase Edmonds (toe/ribs), CB Marco Wilson (shoulder) and DL Jordan Phillips (knee) will not play Sunday vs. Seahawks. (Bob McManaman on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Edmonds missed practice all week and will not suit up against Seattle. James Conner has missed the last two games with an ankle injury and was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday. It remains to be seen how much he will play this week. He should not be counted on for a full workload. We may see Jonathan Ward and Eno Benjamin this week.
