Fantasy News

Todd Gurley (knee) officially did not practice today.

Gurley remains day-to-day with knee inflammation, but the good news is that Rams head coach Sean McVay says the star running back’s Week 17 status should be known ahead of Sunday, as they should have a better idea about how he’s feeling this week after he had a week of rest. Hopefully Gurley can participate on a limited basis tomorrow or Friday, but we’ll see.

Davante Adams (knee) has been officially listed as questionable for Week 17.

Adams didn’t practice all week for the Packers, and they’re going to see how he’s feeling tomorrow during Green Bay’s run-through practice. Obviously not having Adams would be a big blow to fantasy owners in title matchups, but the good news is the Packers play in the early games on Sunday. Adams’ status will be known by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

The Chiefs signed running back Damien Williams to a two-year contract extension.

Williams’ agent Ian Greengross announced the news, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says Williams can earn a max value of $8.1 million on the extension. That’s very good money for Williams, and it indicates he should have a large role in Kansas City’s backfield moving forward as they get past the Kareem Hunt situation. Williams has over 100 total yards in each of his last two games, and he has five total touchdowns the last three weeks. It’ll be interesting to see how the workload is split with Spencer Ware likely returning this Sunday against the Raiders, but Williams might be the team’s starter for the rest of this season and into the 2019 season. Things can change, but Williams’ dynasty-league value is as high as it’s ever been right now.

Carlos Hyde gets 12 touches against the Texans.

Hyde carried ten times for 13 yards and caught two passes for six yards in the Jaguars’ Week 17 loss. Obviously, Hyde’s season didn’t go the way he expected after he was traded from Cleveland to Jacksonville, as the Jags surprisingly didn’t pound the ball with him after acquiring him while Leonard Fournette was injured. Hyde’s 2018 campaign ends with 172 carries for 571 yards and five touchdowns along with ten receptions for 33 receiving yards. All five scores came with the Browns, where he was actually an excellent fantasy asset to open the year. The running back situation is in flux for Jacksonville, with the franchise clearly unhappy with 2017 fourth overall pick Leonard Fournette. The Jags might just move on from Hyde, who is still under contract, but don’t be surprised if he ends up the team’s 2019 starter (despite a disappointing stretch with them) depending on what happens with Fournette.

Jalen Richard scores against the Broncos in Week 16.

Richard carried four times for 11 yards and a touchdown along with four receptions for 40 yards in the Raiders’ Christmas Eve victory. The touchdown came on a carry by the goal line that Richard was able to power into the end zone. This was the first touchdown of the season for Richard, and it’ll probably be one he’ll remember in the Raiders’ last game at the Coliseum.

Tevin Coleman (groin) did not practice today.

It’s only Wednesday, so this missed practice isn’t a huge deal yet. The Falcons believe Coleman has a chance to play in the season finale this week against the Bucs, so we’ll track his status the next couple of days. At least a limited practice tomorrow would be a good sign for Coleman’s Week 17 status.

Brian Parker caught two passes for ten yards in Monday night’s loss to Oakland.

Parker was targeted three times, but he won’t be a recommended fantasy option next week against the Chargers.
