Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable and faced an uphill battle to play after missing three consecutive practices, but in the end, he'll be able to suit up. Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will continue to operate as the Titans' top two receivers, with Boyd set to be the No. 3 receiver. This week, he'll be catching passes from Mason Rudolph. Boyd and Rudolph connected for just two completions and 20 yards last Sunday. The 30-year-old receiver should be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the New York Jets. He had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice. The veteran pass-catcher has merely filled a depth role for Buffalo this season, consistently operating behind Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Keon Coleman, and Mack Hollins. Those four receivers will remain Josh Allen's top targets on Sunday afternoon, with Shakir the most intriguing fantasy option of the bunch.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) was not activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and is inactive for the Week 17 game on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Olave practiced in full from Wednesday through Friday and was deemed questionable to return this weekend, but the Saints are playing things safe and will hold the 24-year-old for another week. Olave, a former first-rounder, hasn't played since suffering his second concussion of the year back in Week 9. The good news for the Saints is that Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) is active against the Raiders, so it will be him, Kevin Austin Jr., Dante Pettis and Cedrick Wilson Jr. serving as New Orleans' top wideouts in a great matchup against the three-win Raiders. However, for fantasy purposes, none of the Saints' pass-catchers can be considered very reliable flex plays, even in deeper formats.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (ankle) underwent an MRI on Sunday morning and has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Schultz notes that Brown is "determined to try to play in Cincinnati's must-win Week 18 game against Pittsburgh, but his availability will depend on how he progresses throughout the week." The 24-year-old picked up the injury on a red-zone rush attempt during the fourth quarter of Saturday's win over the Denver Broncos. Brown is a low-end RB1 whenever he's healthy. If he can't suit up next week, Khalil Herbert would step up as the Bengals' starter, ranking as a high-end RB3.

San Francisco 49ers running back Patrick Taylor Jr. is expected to take a backseat to Isaac Guerendo (hamstring, foot) on Monday. Guerendo has been cleared to play after sitting out last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Taylor didn't do much with his start last week as he only managed 24 yards on the ground. He hauled in only one of his five targets as it was a bust of a day for Taylor. He might be worth holding given the amount of injuries in the 49ers backfield, but his fantasy outlook is bleak with Guerendo back in the mix in Week 17.

Baltimore Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey was fined $11,255 by the National Football League for committing an act of unsportsmanlike conduct in Week 16's game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Humphrey was fined for taunting when he held the ball in the direction of WR Calvin Austin while celebrating a pick-six during the fourth quarter.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell normally only sees a handful of carries each week. However, Gainwell could see more touches in Week 17 with the Eagles likely going with a run-heavy approach on offense. Gainwell has been held to 26 rushing yards or less in each of his last five games. Saquon Barkley continues to get the bulk of the carries and that's likely to continue in Week 17. Gainwell has seen more involvement in the receiving game lately, but he still remains a risky streaming choice for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown (ankle) was forced to exit late during Saturday's win over the Denver Broncos. He twisted his ankle and needed the help of the training staff to get off the field. Luckily, Brown appears to have avoided serious injury and has a chance to suit up for the Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a must-win game for the Bengals, so Brown is going to do everything he can to get back on the field. If he sits, Khalil Herbert figures to see a majority of the carries in the backfield, so he's worth keeping an eye on for fantasy managers who have games in Week 18.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey is expected to see an expanded role for the Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Fellow wideout Dyami Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for this game, which should push McCaffrey into a bigger role. McCaffrey hasn't done much on the field this season with two receptions or less in every game since Week 5. He figures to be the third passing option behind Terry McLaurin and Olamide Zaccheaus. That being said, McCaffrey could see a few more passes come his way, but he'll remain a shaky fantasy option for Week 17.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall hasn't made much of an impact on offense during the second half of the season. Last week, Pearsall hauled in all four of his targets for 37 yards in the loss to the Miami Dolphins. The rookie wideout has been held to 37 receiving yards or less in every game since Week 10. The good news is that Pearsall has seen four targets in each of his last two games. Sadly, Pearsall hasn't been able to do much with his catches. He'll be a risky flex choice for the Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

New York Jets WR Davante Adams (hip) appears likely to play in Week 17's game versus the Buffalo Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that Adams looked good in practice during the week.

Fantasy Spin: Adams had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging just one limited practice session during the week Friday, Dec. 27, although interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that he looked good. If he is active for the game, he should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty was perfect on his kicks during Saturday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Karty made two field goals, including one from 53 yards while connecting on his lone extra point attempt in the win over the Cardinals. The rookie kicker has been shaky at times with five missed field goals and four missed extra point attempts this season. Despite that, the Rams continue to ride with Karty and are hopeful he can be their kicker of the future. This offense moves the ball enough to give Karty plenty of work on a weekly basis.

Cleveland Browns QB Jameis Winston (shoulder) is expected to serve as the emergency third quarterback for Week 17's game versus the Miami Dolphins, according to a source.

Fantasy Spin: Winston had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. Dorian Thompson-Robinson will serve as the Browns' starting quarterback but can be avoided in all fantasy formats.

From TheHuddle

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has been on a hot streak over the last few weeks. On Saturday, Lutz knocked down all three of his extra point attempts and his lone field goal in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Lutz has now made all of his kicks over the last six games, which is an impressive streak for the 30-year-old. He'll look to keep it going in a must-win game for Denver against the Kansas City Chiefs next week. Lutz has been one of the better kickers this season and is worth starting in most fantasy formats for the final game of the regular season.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos wide receiver Devaughn Vele has failed to make much of an impact over the last few weeks. On Saturday, Vele hauled in both his targets for 27 yards in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Vele has now been held to two or less receptions and 27 receiving yards or fewer in each of his last four games. The rookie wideout is falling back on the depth chart, but is worth holding in dynasty leagues due to his long term potential.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, ankle) is expected to play in Week 17's game versus the Cleveland Browns, according to multiple sources.

Fantasy Spin: Hill had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging three consecutive limited practice sessions during the week. Assuming that Hill is active and QB Tua Tagovailoa is under center, he can be viewed as a WR2 option for fantasy lineups this afternoon. If Tagovailoa does not play, Hill should be considered a shaky flex option.

From TheHuddle

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams didn't see much action during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Williams failed to see a carry in the backfield with Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime getting the touches. The only thing Williams did on offense was catch two passes for zero yards, so a dud from the 24-year-old. Williams hasn't been much of a fantasy asset this season and is unlikely to bring much to the table in this three-back committee.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York has been a bit shaky during his brief time with the team. On Saturday, York looked solid until he missed a 33-yard field goal that would've won the Bengals the game in overtime. Luckily for him, the Bengals forced the Denver Broncos to punt again and Cincinnati ended up winning the contest. York has now missed at least one kick in each of his last three games. The 23-year-old does have potential, but he'll likely be seeking a new home soon with Evan McPherson (groin) possibly returning in Week 18.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime was unable to find much success on the ground during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie back rushed nine times for 24 yards while hauling in his lone target for 13 yards in the loss. This is now back-to-back games that Estime has seen nine touches in the backfield. However, Estime remains in a committee with Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin. That being said, Estime isn't going to offer much fantasy value right now, but is worth holding in most dynasty leagues.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland converted his lone field goal attempt but missed an extra point during Saturday's Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The second-year kicker wasn't able to build on last week's dominant showing against the Carolina Panthers. Ryland's missed kick brought him to 21-for-22 on extra points and 26-for-30 on field goals in 2024. He'll look to bounce back as a decent streamer next week, assuming Matt Prater (knee) doesn't return from injured reserve for the Cardinals' season finale.
