Dalvin Cook (Shoulder), Alexander Mattison (Ankle) Not Practicing Thursday
Both Cook and Mattison did not practice Thursday. Cook is not expected to play this week but hasn’t been ruled out yet. Mattison was out last week, and there is a good chance he will miss another game. If both RBs are out, Mike Boone is expected to be the lead back for the Vikings.

Rhett Ellison (Concussion) Limited in Practice Thursday

As reported by: Dan Salomone Chris Godwin, Tanner Hudson Ruled out for Saturday
The Bucs have ruled out Chris Godwin and Tanner Hudson for Saturday. Tampa Bay is already without Mike Evans and Scotty Miller, making Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson the top WRs for the Bucs Saturday.
As reported by: Greg Auman Other tagged players: Tanner Hudson, Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson Underpriced for Expected Role
John Gruden announced that Josh Jacobs will miss Week 16’s game against the Chargers which once again opens the door for DeAndre Washington to take over leadback duties for the Raiders. Washington replaced Jacobs as Oakland’s starting running back in Week 14 and saw heavy usage playing 39-of-62 snaps and parlaying 20 touches into 96 yards and a touchdown. Despite Washington’s strong Week 14 fantasy performance, his price tag failed to increase significantly resulting in a player that is completely underpriced for his expected role.
Robby Anderson (Illness) Not Practicing Thursday
Anderson was sent home from practice Thursday with an undisclosed illness. This puts his status for Sunday in question.

Cook is reportedly unlikely to play Monday night, and he may not play again in the regular season, with the hope that he can return if the Vikings make the playoffs. Coach Mike Zimmer is not conceding anything about Cook’s availability, continuing Thursday to make vague statements about Cook. We likely won’t get anything official until Saturday or later. Mike Boone or Alexander Mattison would get a significant boost if Cook is out.

The Jets have signed RB Kenneth Dixon to their active roster. Dixon last played in 2018 for the Ravens, and he should be at the bottom of the RB depth chart for the Jets.
As reported by: New York Jets Gerald Everett (Knee) Practices Fully Wednesday
Everett practiced fully Wednesday, putting him on track to play Saturday. He has missed the Rams’ last three games, during which time Tyler Higbee has thrived, breaking 100 yards three straight games and averaging 11 targets. Higbee’s role is not quite as clear if Everett is back healthy.

Kirk did not practice Wednesday, putting his status this week in question. He has emerged as the top receiver for the Cardinals, averaging nearly 60 yards per game.
As reported by: Darren Urban Luke Willson (Hamstring) Practices Fully Wednesday
Willson is expected to return to action this week, practicing fully Wednesday after missing the Seahawks’ last four games. He isn’t expected to see heavy usage, but his return could take a couple targets away from Jacob Hollister.

Renfrow was limited Wednesday and still appears on track to make his return this week. It was announced earlier this week that he is expected to play Sunday.
As reported by: Paul Gutierrez Damien Williams (Rib) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Williams was limited in practice Wednesday. He has not played since Week 11, and the Chiefs do not need to rush him back given their depth at RB.
As reported by: Matt Derrick Noah Fant (Shoulder) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Fant was limited Wednesday, but the TE is expected to play this week. He has shown big play potential, taking 6 catches for 169 yards over the past two weeks, an average of 28.2 yards per catch.
As reported by: Nicki Jhabvala Mike Williams (Knee), Justin Jackson (Hamstring) Limited in Practice Wednesday
Williams and Jackson are both expected to play this week despite being limited in practice Wednesday.
As reported by: Los Angeles Chargers Other tagged players: Justin Jackson DeAndre Hopkins (Illness) Does Not Practice Wednesday
Hopkins did not practice Wednesday due to an undisclosed illness. The Texans play on Saturday this week, so Hopkins has one fewer day to get healthy. The extent of the illness should be clear by the end of the week.
