The Colts waived Erik Swoope.

There’s certainly a chance Swoope returns to the Colts very soon, but for now, he’ll hit waivers. For fantasy purposes, Swoope does not need to be owned.

Case Keenum throws one touchdown in Broncos’ loss.

Keenum was 24/42 for 186 yards and one touchdown along with four carries for 24 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Niners. The score was to DaeSean Hamilton in the flat for one yard to bring the team within one possession late in the fourth quarter, but the comeback attempt fell short. The offense didn’t play great to start the game, but the defense didn’t help by giving up 20 first-half points. Ideally, Keenum won’t have to throw 42 passes in a game moving forward, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option during the fantasy playoffs.

Spencer Ware (shoulder/hamstring) is officially out against the Chargers.

Ware was listed as doubtful on the official injury report, so this was expected. Damien Williams will lead Kansas City’s backfield and is immediately an RB2 option for the second week of the fantasy playoffs. Chracandrick West and Darrel Williams are also likely to chip in, but they are both just deep-league FLEX options.

Chase Edmonds rushed three times for 14 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Lions.

He wasn’t targeted in the passing game. Edmonds isn’t a recommended fantasy option behind David Johnson on the league’s worst offense.

The Lions placed Michael Roberts (shoulder) on injured reserve.

Roberts had an injury-riddled season, and he’s now being placed on injured reserve to end it. The second-year tight end had nine receptions for 100 yards and three touchdowns in eight games, flashing potential while still showing signs of inconsistency. The big six-foot-five 2017 fourth-round pick will look to have a breakout season in 2019, but he might go undrafted in most fantasy drafts next summer.

David Johnson handles 23 touches in loss to the Lions.

Johnson rushed 15 times for 49 yards and caught eight-of-ten targets for 12 yards. The game was a disaster for Arizona’s offense, and Josh Rosen held everyone back by making late decisions and inaccurate throws, many of which resulted in no room to breath for DJ with defenders bearing down. The matchup next week is excellent against the Falcons, but Johnson is just an RB1/RB2 on an underperforming offense. Hopefully he can at least get 190 rushing yards over the final three weeks to reach 1,000 yards.

Tyreek Hill (heel/wrist) is officially active for Thursday night.

Despite being listed as questionable, there wasn’t much doubt Hill would play against the Chargers. However, he’s probably at less than 100%, so expectations might have to be tempered slightly. Hill is too good not to have in fantasy lineups for the second week of the fantasy playoffs, though.
