Nothing of note to see here. Hamlin has been inactive for the majority of Buffalo’s games this season, and all fantasy relevant players are good to go for this divisional showdown.

The Chargers have been riddled with injuries to the secondary, and now Maye will be out of action for the foreseeable future during Thursday night’s contest. He’s currently undergoing X-rays, which doesn’t seem to bode well for a return Thursday night.

“I’m going to try and work with them as much as possible to help them attack free agency,” Parsons said. “I want to be back with this team. This offseason, I want to be here. I want to get these guys right. I want to take big steps, so hopefully it can be done sooner than later so we can attack the offseason.” Parsons is one of the most productive defenders in football, and the 2021 first-round pick will likely become one of the highest paid defensive players in the history of the sport whenever he signs a new deal.

Fant was limited Wednesday but that’s likely to be the case as the Seahawks look to load-manage the 27-year-old tight end for the rest of the 2024 campaign. Fant will be a low-end TE2 for Week 16 against the Vikings.

Charbonnet was limited during Wednesday and Thursday’s sessions after picking up an oblique injury during the blowout loss to the Packers on Sunday. Even if the 23-year-old is able to play, his role will likely be limited — considerably — with the presumed return of Kenneth Walker from his calf injury. Kenny McIntosh would be the backup if Charbonnet did miss Week 16 against the Vikings.

Metcalf didn’t practice at all Wednesday, but it appears to just be maintenance as the Seahawks do their best to keep the wideout healthy for the final few weeks. It seems likely that Metcalf will be on the field for Week 16 against the Vikings, but it’s worth noting it’s been five games since Metcalf has found the end zone and he hasn’t gone over 100 yards since September 30.

After missing Wednesday’s practice — and the last two games — Walker getting in a full session is delightful news for fantasy managers hoping to play the 24-year-old tailback Sunday. Assuming no setbacks, it seems very likely Walker will get the ball an awful lot in Week 16 against the Vikings. That workload could be even bigger if Zach Charbonnet (oblique) getting a limited session Thursday.

Hurt will be playing for the first time since the end of November after being placed on injured reserve with his hip injury He isn’t likely to be a major fantasy contributor, but with Will Dissly (shoulder) inactive, it could open up some snaps/targets. The remaining inactives for the Chargers are CB Cam Hart S Elijah Molden LB Shaquille Quarterman OL Brenden Jaimes OL Jordan McFadden and QB Easton Stick (emergency QB)

McLaughlin was ruled out Wednesday for Week 16 by the Broncos on Wednesday, but it’s just a friendly reminder. Wilson will be the emergency third quarterback for the Thursday Night Football contest.

Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb told reporters Thursday that Smith took every snap during the session, and looked good doing it. The 34-year-old was forced out of action during Sunday’s blowout loss to the Packers, but it appears all systems are go for a must-win — or pretty close to it — game against the Vikings in Week 16.

Brown missed Wednesday’s practice with the rest designation — something that’s quite common this late in the year — but it’s the adding of the knee to the injury report Thursday that makes this a situation to pay a little closer attention ton. It seems likely the 27-year-old will play against the Commanders on Sunday in Week 16, but a full session Friday would be nice to see.
