Mike Williams has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Williams is unvaccinated, so he will unfortunately be out tomorrow and also Week 17. The Chargers also won’t have Austin Ekeler tomorrow, but the key losses come at a good time for a matchup versus Houston. Look for Josh Palmer to have a significant role over the next two games, and Jalen Guyton should be activated from the list next week.

Cam Akers has been activated from injured reserve.

Akers has made a remarkable recovery from his torn Achilles suffered in July, and the Rams will now have him back tomorrow to gear up for a playoff run. We’d still expect Los Angeles to use Sony Michel as the feature back, but Akers is worth picking up in all formats because of his talent level on an explosive offense. For this week, we’d say Michel remains an RB2, while Darrell Henderson should be downgraded as a FLEX play.

Lamar Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 16.

Baltimore placed Tyler Huntley on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier today, so veteran Josh Johnson will draw the start for a battle against the Bengals for first place in the AFC North. Jackson not even being a game-time decision might not bode well for his Week 17 status.

Tyreek Hill has been cleared from the COVID list, according to multiple reports.

Hill will play in tomorrow’s Week 16 matchup with the Steelers. He didn’t practice all week, but Hill is obviously a must-start for the fantasy playoffs.

Tyler Huntley is being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, according to NFL Network.

Huntley missed practice yesterday with what was deemed a non-COVID illness, but that’s apparently not the case, and he’s out for Sunday. If Lamar Jackson (ankle) can’t go, Josh Johnson would draw the start versus Cincinnati with fist place in the AFC North on the line.

Damien Harris (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 16.

Harris was limited in practice all week, but it seems like he’ll be good to go for Sunday against the Bills. With Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) ruled out, Harris could be set for a heavy workload if active for Week 16.

Rhamondre Stevenson has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Stevenson has missed practice all week with an illness, and now he’s being placed on the COVID list. Hopefully Stevenson is feeling OK and can rejoin his teammates soon, but he’s out for Sunday’s Week 16 matchup versus the Bills.
