James Conner (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday.

Conner was a full participant in practice again today, making it three straight days of full participation for the second-year running back. We expect he’ll be good to for in a must-win Week 17 matchup against the Bengals, so you should be able to insert him into fantasy championship lineups. However, you should try to have a backup plan from the later games (the Steelers play at 4:25 PM ET) in case Conner unexpectedly sits out again.

Devontae Booker handles six touches in Week 16 loss.

Booker rushed three times for 21 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards. The Broncos haven’t really given the Utah product many touches this season behind Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, but he will look to finish the year strong next week against the Chargers.

Brandon Bolden handles one touch in Week 17 loss.

It was a nine-yard reception. In his first year with the Dolphins, the star special teamer saw all his touches in December, rushing eight times for 91 yards and two touchdowns with three receptions for 13 yards and a score through the air. Bolden, who turns 29 next month, shouldn’t trouble to find a home (or return to Miami) as he enters unrestricted free agency.

Randall Cobb (concussion) was officially a limited participant in today’s practice.

This means Cobb is making progress through concussion protocol after he left Week 15 and missed Week 16 with a concussion. Hopefully Cobb is feeling better, and we’ll see how he’s listed on the final injury report for Green Bay’s final game of the season when it’s released sometime tomorrow.

Alvin Kamara is inactive for Week 17.

The Saints are ensuring their explosive second-year running back enters the postseason fully healthy, and he could be set for a bigger workload in January as the team looks to make a Super Bowl run. Kamara’s regular season ends with 194 carries for 883 yards and 14 touchdowns along with 81 receptions for 709 yards and four touchdowns. Those that selected Kamara with a high first-round pick in fantasy drafts were certainly happy with the results, and he’ll obviously remain a perennial high selection in most drafts moving forward.

Doug Martin plays great on Christmas Eve.

Martin carried 21 times for 107 yards and a touchdown along with one reception for nine yards against the Broncos. The former All-Pro ran the ball very hard throughout the night, breaking tackles and churning out positive yardage after contact. This was Martin’s first 100-yard game of the season, and the 21 rushing attempts were the most he’s had to this point. Look for Jon Gruden to want to feed Martin some more next week against the Chiefs to end the regular season. He’ll be a solid option in lineups with fantasy titles on the line in Week 17.

Austin Ekeler (neck) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that he expected Ekeler to be back for Week 17, and this full practice confirms that. Expect Ekeler to re-assume the backup role behind Melvin Gordon. He’ll be a FLEX option in deeper leagues with fantasy titles on the line.
