Fantasy News

Adrian Peterson (shoulder) is officially active for the Redskins.

Peterson was listed as questionable coming into tonight, but he was 100% expected to play against the Eagles. Chris Thompson (ribs) returns to the lineup to work in tandem with Peterson, which could help keep the future Hall of Famer fresh. Peterson is more of a FLEX option for tonight’s game.

Jamison Crowder (ankle) is officially active against the Eagles.

After missing the last seven games, Crowder is back in the lineup for the Redskins. Crowder has some upside against an injured Eagles cornerback group, but he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option in his first game back.

Darren Sproles (hamstring) is officially active for Monday night.

After missing the last ten games with the hamstring injury suffered in the season-opener again the Falcons, Sproles is back in the lineup for the Eagles. The veteran running back is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups in his first game back, but he could be a difference-maker down the stretch in both real life and some fantasy leagues.

Kareem Hunt went unclaimed on waivers, according to multiple reports.

This isn’t surprising, as no team wanted to claim Hunt after his actions. Hunt must prove to NFL teams he deserves a second chance, so it’s not likely to come until the offseason. Hunt’s forthcoming suspension quite honestly made it an easier decision for teams not to claim him. Now the league’s leading rusher from the 2017 season is free to sign with any team, and he has to hope someone will give him a second chance. It’s up in the air whether it’ll actually happen at some point.

The Chargers signed Dylan Cantrell to their active roster.

The sixth-round rookie receiver is getting a crack on the 53-man roster after spending all season on the practice squad. It’s unclear if this has anything to do with Tyrell Williams’ (quadricep) health, but the Chargers might just think it’s time to get Cantrell up as a potential contributor on game days.

The Chiefs have officially signed Charcandrick West, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.

NFL Network reported earlier that this was expected to happen, and now it’s apparently official. West spent the last four seasons with Kansas City, so he has obvious familiarity with the offense and should fit right in as more depth now that Kareem Hunt is no longer on the team. We expect Spencer Ware and Damien Williams will remain the top two running backs for the Chiefs, but it’s possible West carves out a sizable role on third downs.

The Cardinals are placing Christian Kirk (foot) on injured reserve.

Kirk suffered a foot injury in yesterday’s win against the Packers, and it’ll knock him out for the final four games of the year. The second-round rookie receiver from Texas A&M had a very good rookie season on a subpar offense, catching 43 passes for 590 yards and three touchdowns along with three carries for 35 yards. He also had two 20+ yard punt returns including on 40+ yard punt return. Kirk showed the great athletic ability and capability to play both inside and outside as a versatile receiver that made us believe he should have been an obvious first-round pick. He looks like a potential steal for the Cardinals, and he should push for 1,000 yards in 2019. If Larry Fitzgerald retires, Kirk would become Arizona’s No. 1 wide receiver moving forward.
