Senat (6’0/314) made 36 starts on the USF Bulls’ defensive line, tallying 23.5 career tackles for loss with seven sacks. In 2017, PFF College credited Senat with 30 total run stops, fourth most among draft-eligible interior defensive linemen. Senat is stubby with short arms (31 5/8") and only tested as a 13th-percentile SPARQ athlete, but his game tape shows a persistent disruptor. Senat may max out as a two-down run stopper in the pros, but he has a high floor. The Falcons needed a space eater next to three-technique DT Grady Jarrett.

Wilson was designated to return Tuesday, but the Steelers will not activate their third-round pick ahead of the season finale against the Bengals in Week 18. Wilson will have a chance to be a part of the receiving corps in 2025, but fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before making an early investment.

The rookie wideout has been limited in both practice sessions ahead of Week 18 against the Cardinals. Pearsall hauled in eight passes and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Lions, and if he’s able to go, he may be the top target for Joshua Dobbs with Brock Purdy (elbow) unable to play.

Guerendo was able to get a full practice in Wednesday, as well, so the 24-year-old tailback should be able to go in the Week 18 finale against the Cardinals. With Brock Purdy (elbow) out, this could be a game where Guerendo gets a good amount of touches with Joshua Dobbs the signal-caller against Arizona.

Shipley was upgrade to a full participant after getting a limited session in Wednesday. The rookie tailback will likely be able to play in Week 18 against the Giants, and with Saquon Barkley sitting out, he could be in for a healthy amount of carries in the season finale.

Abdullah has now missed the last two practices, which is disappointing/concerning after his breakout game against the Saints in Week 17. There’s still a good chance that Abdullah can play against the Chargers in Week 18 if he’s able to practice Friday, but for now he should be considered questionable at best. Alexander Mattison would likely get the bulk of carries if Abdullah cannot play.

Kittle was able to get in a limited session after missing Wednesday’s practice. The 31-year-old should be healthy enough to play, but the 49ers will take no risk with Kittle in a game that doesn’t have any significance on the standings.

Samuel also missed Wednesday’s practice with the issue(s). The 28-year-old wideout appears to be questionable at best for the finale against the Cardinals on Sunday, but keep in mind the 49ers have absolutely nothing to play for and will be without Brock Purdy (elbow) for that finale.

Palmer has been a no-go for the first two practice sessions while dealing with his foot/heel injury. The man they call Big Palm seems to be on the wrong side of the questionable tag ahead of Week 18 against the Raiders in a game that only has (relatively) minor implications for Los Angeles.

Edwards has missed both practices this week ahead of the Week 18 finale against the Raiders. It’s possible the 29-year-old could be able to go Sunday if he gets in a limited session, but it’s just as likely Edwards doesn’t play until the playoff game against either the Texans, Ravens or Steelers.

That’s an upgrade from not being able to practice during Wednesday’s session. McConkey is likely getting maintenance before the Week 18 finale against the Raiders, but with only seeding involved, the Chargers may play it cautious with the star rookie for the finale. Keep a close eye on the situation.
