Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) is officially active for Week 17.

Westbrook has continued to play through this neck/shoulder issue, and he’ll finish out the season today against the Colts. Westbrook is not a highly recommended fantasy option for Week 17.

DeAndre Hopkins (illness) is officially active for Week 17.

While Hopkins is active, he is not expected to play much in a game that might not influence Houston’s playoff seed in the AFC. Hopkins should probably just be considered a risky FLEX option today.

Deshaun Watson (back) is officially active for the Texans.

However, Watson is reportedly set to serve as the team’s backup quarterback against the Titans, so he should not be in Week 17 fantasy lineups. Owners with championships on the line need to go in another direction at their quarterback spot.

Anthony Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of today.

Miller’s second NFL season ends with 52 receptions for 656 yards and two touchdowns, but he came on strong toward the end to the season with a couple of 100-yard performances since Thanksgiving. Miller has the ability to be a bigger part of Chicago’s offense moving forward, but it might help if the team happens to part ways with veteran receiver Taylor Gabriel, which could make Miller more of a clear No. 2 option behind Allen Robinson.

Kenny Golladay is being evaluated for a concussion.

Hopefully Golladay can get cleared and return to today’s game against the Packers, but we’ll update you when more information becomes available on his status.

Cordarrelle Patterson (concussion) is out for the rest of today’s game.

Patterson’s season ends with 825 kick return yards (29.5 average) and one kickoff return touchdown, as the former first-round pick remains a big difference-maker on special teams. Patterson had 11 receptions for 83 yards along with 15 carries for 89 yards on offense this season. We would think the Bears will want to bring Patterson back in 2020.

Anthony Miller (shoulder) is questionable to return for the Bears.

Miller has dealt with some shoulder issues through two NFL seasons, but hopefully he’s able to get back on the field today against the Vikings. We’ll update you when more information becomes available on his status.
