Wilson has routinely been a healthy scratch since the Dolphins’ backfield got healthier. The 28-year-old looks like waiver wire fodder even in deeper Dynasty leagues.

Allen was limited for the first two practices of the week because of the back injury before being upgraded to a full session on Friday. He was still listed as questionable on the final injury report, though the rookie never appeared to be at risk of missing Week 16. Breece Hall was off the injury report entirely this week, suggesting he’s as healthy as he has been since tweaking his knee a month ago. With Isaiah Davis also in the mix for touches, only Hall is worth starting in the fantasy semifinals.

Williams was listed as questionable on the final injury report after interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters the team was hopeful he would suit up this week. Per Garafolo, Williams will test out his hamstring this morning before the team makes a final decision. The stud interior pass-rusher has six sacks and eight TFLs this year, impressive numbers for a defensive tackle. Losing him would be a notable blow to a struggling Jets defense.

Allen was on the team’s injury report as a full participant for months after landing on his hand during a touchdown run in a Week 1 win over Arizona. He checked out his hand after slamming it into the ground while being tackled but told reporters after the game he was fine. “Fine” is putting it lightly as Allen would go on to post MVP-caliber numbers and is now the front-runner to take home the award. He was removed from the injury report entirely after Buffalo’s Week 12 bye. The injury obviously never put Allen at risk of missing time and he remains the top fantasy option in the game heading into Week 16.

Winston is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury. Bailey Zappe will serve as the backup to Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The Browns will list Winston as inactive, meaning he can only enter the game if both Zappe and DTR get hurt. For fantasy managers praying for a Winston takeover in the second half, garbage time will not be your salvation this week. The quarterback situation takes Jerry Jeudy from a borderline WR1 ranking to a measly WR3 projection for his date with Cincinnati.

Parsons was a late addition to the injury report, being listed as questionable after missing Friday’s practice with the illness. Rapoport described it as a stomach bug. While a Friday DNP is always a bit concerning, players rarely miss time with illnesses, and this appears to be no exception. Parsons should be able to add to his sack total in a potentially high-volume game with the Bucs.

Moore suffered a concussion in the Panthers’ Week 15 loss to the Cowboys. He was practicing in full by Friday, putting him in the final steps of the league’s concussion protocol as of the last practice report. With Xavier Legette out this week, Moore will remain a fixture of the team’s three-receiver sets. With his target totals cooling lately, Moore is deep in the FLEX ranks for Carolina’s matchup with the Cardinals.

Coker seemingly got past his quad issue last week and broke out with 110 yards plus a touchdown versus Dallas. He was not on the injury report on Wednesday but was downgraded to limited sessions on Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable. It seems like the light workloads to close the week may have been precautionary. If he suits up, Coker will be a boom/bust WR5 for his matchup with Arizona.

Ertz suffered a concussion in Week 15 against the Saints and has been working his way through the league’s protocol over the past six days. He was only able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, meaning he had multiple steps in the protocol to clear before being able to play on Sunday. It sounds like he will be given the green light later today, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place. Ben Sinnott and John Bates would likely split the starting role if Ertz is a surprise inactive.

Hill suffered the wrist injury in training camp and it has become more of a problem as of late. He has routinely been getting time off in practice and closed this week’s proceedings with a limited session before being listed as questionable. That was after a full session on Thursday and a DNP on Wednesday. With Jaylen Waddle out for Week 16, Miami needs Hill now more than ever. The absence of Waddle moves Hill up a few spots in the WR2 ranks versus the 49ers.

Tracy is listed as questionable for Week 16. He was limited in practice throughout the week after tweaking his ankle in Week 15 against the Ravens. The rookie shared the backfield with veteran Devin Singletary in that game, seeing a measly 10 rush attempts plus a lone reception. Now stuck in a committee on an awful offense, Tracy is stuck in the RB3 for his date with Atlanta.
