All Player News

Kenneth Walker III

SEA Running Back #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday’s walkthrough.

Walker was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day as he deals with an ankle injury. He suffered the ankle injury during the Seahawks’ Week 16 loss to the Vikings and now his status for Thursday’s game against the Bears is in jeopardy. If Walker cannot go, Zach Charbonnet will once again be the lead back. Fantasy managers should monitor Walker’s Wednesday practice capability for his final game status.
J.K. Dobbins

LAC Running Back #27

Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

The Chargers opened Dobbins’ 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve on Monday. He was listed as limited due to his knee injury on Tuesday, but given it is his first week practice, it is unlikely Dobbins will return for Week 17. His potential return won’t have a fantasy impact, but will have a real-football impact as the Chargers could get him back for a playoff run.
James Conner

ARI Running Back #6

Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) was limited in Tuesday’s walkthrough practice.

Conner suffered the knee injury in Week 16 and did not return. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said earlier the team will “see how the week goes” for Conner’s game-day status. The Cardinals play the Rams Saturday night, so it is a shorter week than usual, but Conner’s limited status in Tuesday’s estimated report is a good sign. Backup RB Trey Benson (ankle) was also listed as limited after missing Week 16. If neither Conner nor Benson can go, Michael Carter will retain the lead back role.
Zay Flowers

BAL Wide Receiver #4

Zay Flowers (shoulder) is questionable for Baltimore’s Week 17 game against the Texans.

Flowers got in a limited session today after DNPs on Sunday and Monday. He played the entirety of Saturday’s game against the Steelers and we’re guessing is on the optimistic side of questionable with the team easing off his practice workload under this “three games in 11 days” nonsense. If Flowers can’t go, Rashod Bateman would get an upgrade in the Week 17 rankings.
Austin Ekeler

WAS Running Back #30

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Austin Ekeler (concussion) is “trending in the right way” to possibly return in Week 18.

Ekeler has been on injured reserve after his second serious brain injury of the season, one that he said caused him to not remember walking off the field. It would be a boost to Washington’s passing game if Ekeler was able to return for Week 18 and the postseason.
Alvin Kamara

NO Running Back #41

Saints coach Darren Rizzi said Alvin Kamara (groin) will be a “later in the week” decision for Week 17.

Rizzi also relayed an anecdote of Kamara going into Rizzi’s office and letting him know he wants to play this week. Kamara’s status looks very questionable heading into Week 17, but he’d be a good RB2 play against the Raiders if he can shake the groin injury this week.
George Pickens

PIT Wide Receiver #14

George Pickens (hamstring) does not carry a designation on Pittsburgh’s final injury report.

Pickens will return after missing Weeks 14-16 with a hamstring injury. Pittsburgh’s best receiver, Pickens profiles as a borderline WR2 this week and could wind up with a small boost if the Steelers rest Chris Jones (calf). He practiced in full each of the final two days of the week.
Trent Williams

SF Tackle #71

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said T Trent Williams (heel/ankle) will miss the final two games of the season.

The 49ers are desperately looking at practice squads and free agents after losing two more linemen last week and finding out that Williams isn’t coming back this year. Williams finished with a 49ers-low 85.6 PFF blocking grade in 649 snaps this season. He’s due a $21.9 million cap figure in 2025 and figures to be the 49ers starting left tackle assuming that the heel and ankle injuries don’t require any serious offeseason surgeries. Week 17 could be another week under pressure for Brock Purdy and the gang as they try to deal with Detroit.
Drew Lock

NYG Quarterback #2

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Drew Lock will start in Week 17 against the Colts.

Lock, who sustained a shoulder injury last week against the Falcons, will draw another start for the miserable Giants in their second to last game of the season. Lock in Week 16 threw for 210 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions for touchdowns against Atlanta. The Colts defense is an elite fantasy option in Week 17 against Lock and the turnover-prone New York offense.
Jonah Williams

ARI Tackle #73

Cardinals RT Jonah Williams (knee) and LT Paris Johnson (knee) are out for Week 17 against the Rams.

Arizona will be without both of its starting tackles this week after being eliminated from postseason contention in Week 16 against the Panthers. It’s bad news for Kyler Murray and the Cardinals offense, and it makes the Rams defense an interesting fantasy option off the waiver wire. The Cards headed into Week 17 have what Pro Football Focus grades as the NFL’s fifth best pass-blocking offensive line.
