Feliciano started 16 games in 2019 but injuries kept him off the field for chunks of the next two seasons. He was only active for nine games last year because of a calf issue and a stint on the COVID list. Feliciano started six times, splitting his snaps between right and left guard. Syracuse.com’s Matt Parrino added that he will play center for the Giants. Feliciano primarily played guard during his time in Buffalo but did log a few hundred snaps at center over the years. He also has a head start on learning New York’s playbook as he will be following former Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll there. The deal gives Feliciano a chance to stay healthy and prove his worth for a bigger contract in 2023 while bringing a familiar face and plenty of experience to the Giants.

Alexander is now on track to return against the Saints this week. The Packers’ No. 1 CB has been sidelined since Week 12 so his likely return is a welcome development for his team’s secondary. Alexander’s return could be particularly consequential if Chris Olave (concussion) suits up on Monday night.

This is Musgrave’s fifth straight LP designation since the Packers opened his 21-day practice window, telling us little about his Monday Night Football status. Musgrave was kept inactive last week. If he is able to practice in full tomorrow, he should be good to go. Fantasy managers can only view him as a touchdown-dependent TE2 though, playing behind Tucker Kraft.

Brown practiced in full throughout the week and will now make his Chiefs debut on Saturday versus the Texans. The Chiefs will ease Brown back into the lineup, keeping him off the fantasy radar for Week 16. However, his return makes already thin bets in Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins that much worse for fantasy purposes. Hopkins has been a part-time player since joining the Chiefs and now there’s even more of a threat to his routes. Xavier Worthy, on the other hand, runs all of the routes but rarely sees WR1 usage. His 11-target outing in Week 15 will keep him in the WR3 ranks for Saturday’s matchup with Houston.

Valdes-Scantling is currently the Saints’ No. 1 WR so this is a concerning development. The volatile field stretcher has been absent through two Week 16 practices and is currently on the wrong side of questionable for Monday night.

Meyers has been nursing the ankle injury for a few weeks. He was limited in the first two practices ahead of Week 16 but never appeared to be at risk of missing Sunday’s game. Meyers was upgraded to a full session before being cleared from the injury report. With Aidan O’Connell back under center, Meyers can be trusted as a volume-based WR3 once again.

Olave’s continued limited participation at least bodes positively for his overall health. Assuming he returns for his team’s Week 16 Monday Night Football matchup against the Packers is likely premature though. The Saints have handled his situation with an abundance of caution thus far.

Strange was limited in all three practices this week but doesn’t have a designation heading into the weekend. The light sessions were likely maintenance after Strange saw a career-high 12 targets in Week 15. He came down with 11 of the looks for 73 yards. Strange’s newfound role has him pushing for TE1 status in a great matchup versus the Raiders.

Kamara’s second DNP of the week is hardly news after beat reporter Nick Underhill reported he is unlikely to play and considered week-to-week after suffering a groin injury. A Week 17 return looks like the best possible outcome for Kamara. Kendre Miller is an RB2, starting in Kamara’s stead.

Gay missed the first two practices of the week but was upgraded to a full practice on Friday. He should be good to go for Week 16. The fact that the Colts haven’t added a kicker to their practice squad all but confirms this.
