Garrett Wilson

NYJ Wide Receiver #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that “it is a real question will Garrett Wilson be back as well” if Aaron Rodgers returns to the Jets.

Rapoport isn’t stating definitively that Wilson would demand a trade if the Jets were to bring back Aaron Rodgers, he’s reading the tea leaves that many reporters, including himself, have been laying down in recent weeks. There appears to be a clear fractured relationship between the Jets’ 41-year-old quarterback and their 24-year-old budding star receiver. Wilson and Rodgers have not appeared to be on the same page for much of the season, and Wilson’s production has fallen off drastically since the Jets traded for Davante Adams. Given how poor this season went, it seems obvious for the Jets to choose a 24-year-old cost-controlled stud wide receiver over a 41-year-old quarterback on the decline, but that decision may fall to the new head coach and GM, whoever they may be.
Malik Nabers

NYG Wide Receiver #1

Malik Nabers (toe) is active for Week 17 against the Colts.

Nabers has gone “football warrior” mode the past few weeks, playing through injury even as the team around him packs it in. He doesn’t seem particularly close to 100 percent health, but he’s not suiting up for limited action. Although his quarterback and matchup are concerns, Nabers should see enough volume to remain in the top 24. Inactive for the Giants are LB Micah McFadden, C John Michael Schmitz, CB Greg Stroman, CB Dee Williams, DL Cory Durden and QB Tim Boyle.
Davante Adams

NYJ Wide Receiver #17

Davante Adams (hip) is active for New York’s Week 17 game against the Bills.

He’ll profile as a low-end WR1 in your fantasy finals. Most of New York’s big line of questionable players are in for the game, including Sauce Gardner (hamstring), Quinnen Williams (hamstring), Haason Reddick (neck), and Morgan Moses (knee). Inactive for the Jets are: CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse, EDGE Braiden McGregor, K Anders Carlson, S Jaylin Simpson, CB Kendall Sheffield, and CB Qwan’tez Stiggers.
Chase Brown

CIN Running Back #30

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Chase Brown’s ankle injury is not considered major and he has a chance to play in Week 18 against the Steelers.

Brown sprained his ankle while sliding to the ground at the one-yard line late in the Bengals’ Week 17 win over the Broncos. He was going down to set up a game-winning field goal, only for the Bengals to punch it in with Joe Burrow on the next play. Brown remained on the field for a while before being helped off by trainers. What looked to be a potentially catastrophic injury at the time now seems much less serious. Khalil Herbert would draw the start with Brown sidelined. With the Bengals still in the playoff hunt, expect Brown to do everything he can to get back out there for Week 18 versus the Steelers.
Jaylen Waddle

MIA Wide Receiver #17

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jaylen Waddle (knee) is “unlikely” to play in Week 17 against the Browns.

Waddle got in two limited practices this week before being listed as questionable. The team will likely put him through a pre-game warmup before making a final decision on his status, but fantasy managers need to have a backup plan in place. If Waddle is ruled out, rookie Malik Washington will stay in the No. 2 role for Week 17. Washington caught three passes for 28 yards last week, keeping him deep in the WR5/6 range versus Cleveland.
Tyreek Hill

MIA Wide Receiver #10

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Tyreek Hill (wrist) “should” play in Week 17 against the Browns.

Hill has been playing through the wrist issue all year, even as it has worsened over the back half of the season. It looks like Week 17 will be no different. His numbers have stagnated in the latest iteration of the Miami offense. Hill has topped 100 yards once in his past seven appearances, although five touchdowns during that stretch have cushioned the blow for fantasy managers. With Tua Tagovailoa expected to miss Week 17, Hill is barely in the WR2 ranks versus Cleveland.
Davante Adams

NYJ Wide Receiver #17

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Davante Adams (hip) is expected to play in Week 17 against the Bills.

As Schefter notes, there is no way Adams is going to miss a chance to catch Aaron Rodgers’ 500th career touchdown pass. He has already come down with No. 200 and No. 400. Adams was held out of practice on Thursday but returned for a limited session on Friday before being listed as questionable. One practice is typically enough to keep a veteran in the lineup, and that appears to be the case this week. Adams is a low-end WR1 for his Week 17 date with the Bills.
Ja'Marr Chase

CIN Wide Receiver #1

Ja’Marr Chase caught 9-of-15 targets for 102 yards in the Bengals’ Week 17 win over the Broncos.

Chase drew shadow coverage from arguably the top coverage corner in the league in Pat Surtain, which confined most of his work to the short-to-intermediate areas of the field to leverage Chase’s elite separation skills in close. That is, until Chase got behind the defense for a 38-yard reception on the team’s third possession of overtime, eventually leading to Tee Higgins’ third touchdown grab of the evening in walk off fashion. The win keeps the Bengals alive in the AFC playoff picture, now needing to beat the Steelers in Week 18 and to have the Chiefs beat the Broncos.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Tee Higgins caught 11-of-12 targets for 131 yards and three touchdowns in the Bengals’ Week 17 win over the Broncos.

Higgins caught all three of quarterback Joe Burrow’s touchdown passes, the most important of which came on the team’s third overtime possession following a missed field goal by backup kicker Cade York. The walk off touchdown kept the Bengals in contention for the No. 7 seed in the AFC, with the team now needing to beat the Steelers in Week 18 and have the Chiefs handle the Broncos while likely resting their starters in a meaningless game. Higgins continues his bid for a contract extension while playing on the franchise tag yet again in 2024.
Chase Brown

CIN Running Back #30

Chase Brown rushed 20 times for 67 yards in the Bengals’ Week 17 win over the Broncos, adding 24 yards on four receptions.

Brown escaped for his longest rush of the game late in the fourth quarter in a tie game but attempted to slide down at the one to draw more time off the clock. His right cleat appeared to get stuck in the turf as he attempted the slide and he would stay down on the field with training staff for minutes before eventually walking under his own power to the sideline. He would not play another snap as the team saw three possessions in overtime, with Khalil Herbert handling the rest of the snaps in his stead. Fantasy managers considering playoff contests or sick enough to play in Week 18 championships will want to monitor his practice status in the coming week ahead of a meeting with the Steelers.
