DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) is listed as questionable to face the Eagles.

This would likely be a probable tag if the NFL still offered that as an injury designation. It would be a major surprise if Hopkins doesn’t suit up for Week 16, but his status will be official by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

Leonard Fournette handles 14 touches in Week 15 loss.

Fournette rushed 11 times for 46 yards, also adding three receptions for 18 yards. The LSU product barely saw touches in the second half despite a lead for the Jaguars, so his workload will be a big concern for fantasy owners over the final two weeks as Jacksonville looks ahead to 2019. For now, consider Fournette more of an RB2 than RB1 next week against the Dolphins.

Josh Johnson throws one touchdown in Redskins’ Week 16 loss.

Johnson was 13/23 for 153 yards, one touchdown, and one interception along with four carries for 22 yards in the Saturday afternoon loss to the Titans. While the numbers aren’t exceptional, Johnson played another strong game and played a lot better than the numbers indicate. The veteran quarterback showed poise throughout the game, making nice plays to keep drives going. The touchdown was in the second quarter on a seven-yard swing pass to Michael Floyd. And the interceptions weren’t really on him, as they both came at the end of the game; the first one was on a third-down pass down the field where Josh Doctson stopped running his route; and the second was on a last-second pass attempt down the field that was returned for a pick-six. Johnson finishes up the regular season next Sunday against the Eagles.

Cody Kessler, Jaguars lose a defensive battle to the Redskins, 16-13.

Kessler was 9/17 for 57 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception, also adding six carries for a team-high 68 yards. The rushing production was obviously a surprise, but Kessler deserves credit for trying to do what it takes to win despite not exactly being a dangerous runner. Unfortunately, an interception came on the final offensive drive of the game, but it was basically a punt on third-and-16 at around midfield. Kessler will look to get a victory next week against the Dolphins.

Keke Coutee (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Sunday.

Coutee was limited in practice all week and is likely headed for a game-time call against the Eagles. It’d be a good sign if he makes the trip to Philadelphia tomorrow.

Josh Doctson held without a catch in win over the Titans.

Doctson was targeted twice. Perhaps the big-bodied receiver can do damage against the smaller Tennessee cornerback group next Saturday, but fantasy owners should look elsewhere in Week 16.

Keenan Allen (hip) is officially active for tonight’s game.

Allen was thought to be ready to face the Ravens, and he indeed will be out there. This is a tough matchup, but fantasy owners can safely fire up Allen as a WR1 option with fantasy titles on the line. The presence of “Slayer” in the lineup, along with Melvin Gordon returning, is an obvious boost for Philip Rivers and the offense overall.
