Zach Ertz has been cleared of his concussion.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said his tight end is “good to go” this week against the Giants, so he’ll return after missing one game with the concussion suffered in Week 13 against Seattle. Backup tight ends Trey Burton and Brent Celek caught a combined two touchdowns while filling in for Ertz last week, as the tight end position is a big key for the Eagles offense. However, it remains to be seen how Ertz plays without Carson Wentz at quarterback. The two had excellent chemistry that might not be matched by Nick Foles and Ertz, but you should still consider Ertz a very strong TE1 in fantasy lineups.

Brandon Williams is moving around after tonight’s game.

Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said Williams is in the training room doing “well,” but noted he does have a concussion. It’s very good to hear Williams is up and about after he was taken off on a stretcher earlier tonight, and hopefully he’s back to feeling 100% soon.

Robert Woods (shoulder) is set to return in Week 15.

Woods was limited in the first practice of the week, but it’s all according to plan. After missing the last three games, Woods will be back in the lineup this Sunday in a big NFC West matchup with the Seahawks. Woods was on fire before his injury, and he’s immediately a FLEX option in fantasy lineups for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Tyreek Hill catches 64-yard touchdown in win over the Chargers.

Hill finished with five receptions for 88 yards and the score, which was a deep ball down the right sideline in the first half against top corner Casey Hayward. The dynamic second-year pro is always a threat to take one to the house from anywhere, but he won’t be more than a volatile WR2 in Week 16 against the Dolphins, especially if cornerback Xavien Howard keeps up his hot play.

Nathan Peterman remains in concussion protocol.

While he’s in concussion protocol, Peterman is very close to getting cleared. Hopefully he’s feeling better, and he appears likely to get the full “OK” within the next couple of days. However, Tyrod Taylor will start this week against the Dolphins if healthy.

Jamaal Charles doesn’t get a touch in Week 15.

The veteran running back didn’t get much time against the Colts, and the Broncos are mainly going with C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker in the backfield right now. Given his current role, Charles is off the fantasy radar.

Robert Woods (shoulder) was limited in practice.

This week is the target for Woods’ return, and a limited participation to start the week has him off on the right foot. Woods has missed the last three games and would give the Rams an excellent boost in the passing game if he were to return. Keep an eye on his practice status tomorrow and Friday.
