Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional title against the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old rookie was unable to suit up in Week 16 due to this finger injury, but appears to be nearing a return. This week, the Virginia Tech product logged three-straight limited practice sessions, which leaves the door open for a return on Sunday. Managers should keep a close eye on his status leading up to Sunday's contest. Throughout his debut season, Tuten has remained in a change-of-pace role behind workhorse Travis Etienne Jr., as he has only logged double-digit carries in one contest. Even if Tuten can play, he remains a low-end RB4 given his minimal projected role. Etienne is expected to remain the primary running back in this offense and carry high-end RB2 upside facing the Colts.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out for the third straight game due to a knee injury. The veteran tight end has been on the shelf since week 15 due to this injury. This week, the 29-year-old was unable to make much progress as he logged three straight non-participations during their practices. Njoku will look to return in their regular-season finale next weekend, when they travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. Before his injury, Njoku was losing his footing in this offense, averaging just 4.3 PPR points per game over his last five contests (Weeks 10 through 14). As a result, managers should expect rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) to continue to remain the team's clear top tight end, if cleared to suit up on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Austin suffered this injury during their thrilling victory over the Lions last weekend. This week, Austin was unable to participate in any practice sessions and will set his sights on returning in Week 18, when the Steelers face the Baltimore Ravens. Austin will join top wideout DK Metcalf on the sidelines as he will be unable to play in each of the final two regular-season games due to a suspension. As a result, fantasy managers should expect the Steelers to deploy Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Adam Thielen, Scotty Miller, and Roman Wilson as the starting wideouts. However, managers should expect both running backs, Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell, and tight ends Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, and Jonnu Smith to operate as the top pass catchers.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) is expected to play on Sunday despite being listed as questionable. Fannin suffered a groin injury during Friday's practice session but told reporters that he expects to be cleared to face the Steelers. Fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his status, but it appears the 21-year-old has avoided a major injury. Over the last four weeks, Fannin has taken a significant step forward in his development and has emerged as a weekly TE1 for fantasy. During this four-game stretch, the Bowling Green product has averaged an impressive 17.5 PPR points per game with 9.0 targets per game. With David Njoku (knee) already ruled out, Fannin should see another hefty target share if cleared to suit up.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) was not spotted during the open portion of Friday's practice, but according to Saints beat reporter Nick Underhill, his absence was merely precautionary, and he is expected to be a full go for Week 17. Olave has been the fantasy WR6 on the season, with his best and most consistent performances coming since rookie Tyler Shough took over as New Orleans' starting quarterback in Week 9. The Saints face a vulnerable Titans defense in Week 17, and with 35-year-old jack-of-all trades Taysom Hill likely in line to lead the team's rushing attack, Shough, Olave, and the passing offense could see another big day. In a Week 16 win over the Jets, Shough set career highs in dropbacks, pass attempts, completions, and yards, leading to a season-best WR2 fantasy finish for Olave, who is RotoBaller's WR6 for championship weekend.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The team's top tight end opened the week as a non-participant on Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to limited participation on Friday afternoon. Managers should continue to monitor his progress during the weekend. Kincaid is coming off a disappointing showing in Week 16, where he was unable to bring in his lone target and finish his day with 0.0 PPR points. However, in Weeks 14 and 15, Kincaid averaged a solid 10.3 PPR points per game and saw 4.5 targets per game. With No. 2 tight end Dawson Knox (knee )also carrying a questionable tag, managers could see wideouts Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and Tyrell Shavers take on an increased role on Sunday.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) will miss his fifth consecutive game after another week of DNPs at practice. With rookie Devin Neal (hamstring), who had handled New Orleans' bellcow duties in Kamara's stead, hitting Injured Reserve prior to the team's Week 16 matchup with the Jets, fantasy managers were left to debate whether Audric Estime or Evan Hull would step in and benefit from the favorable matchup. Turns out it was tight end Taysom Hill, who saw season highs in snaps, carries, targets, receptions, and both rushing and receiving yards, while adding a 38-yard touchdown pass for good measure. The Saints face another plus matchup in the Titans in Week 17, and with Hill likely in line to again be worked heavily into New Orleans' game plan, he's a near must-start wherever he is tight end eligible.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion. Love sustained this concussion during their loss to the Bears last week and will need additional time ot pass through the league's protocol. While the second-stringer Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) has a questionable tag, Schefter noted that Willis is expected to get the starting nod. Before exiting last weekend early, Love went 8-for-13 with 77 yards. However, during Weeks 13 through 15, Love was a viable QB1 in standard formats, averaging 24.1 PPR points per game with an 8:3 TD:INT. Managers should view Willis as a high-end QB2 facing a weak Baltimore defense that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing QBs.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (ankle) was a full practice participant on Friday and carries no injury designation into the team's Sunday Night matchup with the 49ers. Burden injured his ankle in a Week 15 blowout of the Browns, in which he had seen his highest target share of the season, and was forced to miss Chicago's Week 16 divisional win over the Packers. In his last two games played without Rome Odunze (foot), who was ruled out on Friday for what will be his fourth consecutive game, Burden has caught 10 of 13 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown. He projects as RotoBaller's WR37 for the week and should be viewed as a high-upside flex play against a 49ers defense that has allowed nearly 230 passing yards per game and 27 touchdowns through the air.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz put up another reliable performance in the 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lutz went two for two on his field goal attempts and also converted both of his PAT attempts, scoring six points in total on the day. After seeing Lutz miss one short field goal attempt in Week 16 and having zero field goal attempts in Week 15, it was relieving to see him convert his opportunities for a perfect day. The Broncos will be looking to secure the number one seed in the AFC with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18, and Lutz will likely be a key part in earning that.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out of the team's Sunday Night matchup with the 49ers, his fourth consecutive missed game since popping up on the injury report following a Week 13 win over the Eagles. In his absence, the Bears have seen spike games from DJ Moore and Luther Burden III (ankle), who returned to a full practice on Friday and carries no injury designation into Sunday after missing a game of his own with an ankle injury. Both Moore and Burden, along with rookie tight end Colston Loveland, remain in play against a middle-of-the-pack 49ers defense that has been most vulnerable through the air.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot), who has been trending in the right direction with a foot injury, was a full participant during Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into a Week 17 matchup with the defending champion Eagles. Allen was seen receiving attention during the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, but never missed a snap, and had been viewed as a long shot to miss any time with the injury. With his status now official, Allen is RotoBaller's QB3 for fantasy championship weekend, and he should be viewed as a trusted start, even against an Eagles defense that has held opposing quarterbacks almost four points below their season-long average.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had another clutch showing in their 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Nix had a mediocre day through the air, completing 26 of 38 pass attempts for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception, but elevated his overall fantasy day with a new season high in rushes, taking nine carries for 42 yards and a touchdown. Before the second half, Nix had no touchdowns and one interception. The Broncos have now won 12 of their last 13 games, and only three of those games were decided by more than one score. In Week 18, the Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers to end the regular season.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton struggled in the 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Coming off two back-to-back WR1 consensus outings, Sutton was held to four catches on 10 targets for 40 yards and zero touchdowns as the Chiefs' defense keyed on restricting the passing game. Sutton did lead the team in receiving yards and targets, but the lone passing touchdown from quarterback Bo Nix went to rookie running back RJ Harvey to win them the game in the final minutes. While this outing was a disappointment for fantasy managers who started Sutton in Week 17, his performance still allowed him to surpass 1,000 yards receiving for the second straight season. The Broncos will face the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 18.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin saw another dropoff in snap share during the 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. After posting an uptrend in snaps with 50% in Week 15 and 64% in Week 16, Franklin was only on the field for 38% of snaps in Week 17 despite not having to compete with rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (concussion) for snaps. Franklin still caught all four of his targets for a modest 17 yards and no touchdowns. The Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18, and Franklin will seemingly remain a volatile option until otherwise noted.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey stole the show again in the Week 17 20-13 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Harvey had 14 carries for 43 yards and added a team-leading five catches on six targets for 33 yards with a receiving touchdown in the final minutes that won them the game. This touchdown marks Harvey's 12th of his rookie season and came on a play that displayed elite chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix. Harvey and the Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18 as they look to clinch the top seed in the AFC with another win.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Jets, as an abdominal injury has kept him from practicing this week. Hollins was one of seven Patriots players ruled out on Friday, along with fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte (concussion). With two of New England's most reliable downfield threats set to miss the game and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) carrying a questionable tag of his own, Stefon Diggs and tight end Hunter Henry could be in line for staggering target shares. Meanwhile, rookie Kyle Williams, who caught a 37-yard touchdown pass in Sunday night's comeback win, becomes an upside-driven desperation flex against a Jets defense that has struggled against the pass.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) has been ruled out of the team's Week 17 matchup with the Jets after suffering a concussion late in a Week 16 win over the Ravens. Boutte was injured on a controversial deep pass that resulted in no pass interference call, and he will now be held out of at least one more game as he works through the league's concussion protocol. Fellow receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) has also been ruled out for Sunday, leaving Drake Maye without his two most reliable downfield threats, but potentially putting rookie Kyle Williams in a position to build upon his late-season momentum. Williams caught a critical 37-yard touchdown in New England's comeback win on Sunday night, and he could be in line for his highest snap share of the season with Boutte and Hollins already ruled out, while DeMario Douglas (hamstring) is questionable with a hamstring injury.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Jets. The first-year back was spotted at Friday's practice, no longer donning the red non-contact jersey he wore to begin the week. Henderson will still need to officially clear the NFL's concussion protocol after exiting the team's Week 16 win over the Ravens with a head injury, and fantasy managers should check back when New England releases their final injury report of the week, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. Henderson finished as the RB3 on the week when the Patriots last faced the Jets in Week 11, and he becomes a must-start if active. Should he miss Sunday's game, veteran Rhamondre Stevenson slots in as a high-end RB2 who could be asked to handle substantial volume.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson (hand) will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Steelers as he continues to work back from the hand injury that has kept him out of the last two games. With fellow first-year back Quinshon Judkins (leg, ankle) done for the year after undergoing surgery following a brutal Week 16 injury, the Browns' running back depth chart has been one to monitor heading into fantasy title games. It was undrafted rookie Raheim Sanders who saw the bulk of the carries following Judkins' injury. He finished the day with 12 touches for 46 yards, while veteran Trayveon Williams was also mixed in to the tune of seven opportunities. If Sampson is able to suit up against the Steelers, he will likely be given starter's reps, but things could quickly devolve into a committee approach. Should Sampson miss another game, Sanders at least carries desperation flex appeal into an otherwise unfavorable matchup.
