D.J. Moore (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17.

Moore’s fantastic second NFL season ends with 87 receptions for 1,175 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns along with six carries for 40 rushing yards in 15 games. Moore would have had a shot at 100 receptions if he didn’t leave last week’s game early with his concussion, but he could be in the mix to hit that mark next season. It’ll be interesting to see Carolina’s new coaching staff and offense (and potentially quarterback) in 2020, but Moore figures to be a high-floor fantasy selection with upside in fantasy drafts next summer.

Scott Simonson (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17.

Simonson had two receptions for 11 yards in ten games this season, and he’ll be a free agent this offseason.

Rhett Ellison (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17.

Ellison’s season ends with 18 receptions for 167 yards and one touchdown in ten games. The veteran tight end is entering the final year of his contract in 2020.

The Redskins have ruled out Terry McLaurin (concussion) for Week 17.

McLaurin would have been targeting a 1,000-yard season if he was able to suit up this weekend, but his rookie campaign still ends with a very impressive 58/919/7 line in 14 games. The 23-year-old deep threat showed underrated toughness as an all-around receiver for Washington this season, and he should have a case to be drafted as a borderline top-20 wideout in fantasy drafts over the summer. McLaurin struggled to put up numbers with college teammate Dwayne Haskins for the most part, but the duo started to get on the same page over their final three games together.

Jordan Howard will play in Week 17.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson says that Howard has been cleared for contact and is good to go for the regular season finale this Sunday against the Giants. Pederson says the team game planned for Miles Sanders and Boston Scott this week, though, indicating that Howard will be the third running back as he gets back into the swing of things. Howard is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups for his first game since Week 9, but the powerful running back could be a huge boost for the Eagles in real life if they make it to the postseason.

Antonio Brown is apparently working out for the Saints.

Brown posted a picture of a free agent waiver on social media, which is probably so that he can not take action against the team if he is injured in a workout. The NFL’s investigation into Brown probably needs to be settled before he can play, but it looks like New Orleans wants to add reinforcements for a Super Bowl run. AB is still extremely unlikely to play in Week 17 even if he signs today, but we would not be surprised if the Saints take a chance on him.

Kyler Murray (hamstring) was officially limited in today’s practice.

Murray certainly wants to finish his rookie year by playing in the season finale, but we’ll see how he’s listed on the final Week 17 injury report when it’s released tomorrow. The Cardinals might ultimately decide to play things safe with their franchise quarterback.
