Alexander Mattison (ankle) did not practice today.

Mattison not even logging a limited session for the second day in a row doesn’t bode well for his chances of suiting up on Monday night, and it’s possible he is ruled out tomorrow on Minnesota’s final injury report. With Dalvin Cook (shoulder) reportedly unlikely to play in the final two games, Mike Boone may lead the backfield in Week 16 and Week 17.

Taylor Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 16.

This is unfortunately Gabriel’s fourth consecutive missed game with his concussion. Hopefully the veteran receiver is feeling better soon, but he’s looking unlikely for the regular season finale next week.

JuJu Smith-Schuster is off the Week 16 injury report.

Smith-Schuster practiced fully, and while he told reporters that he’s still not at 100% and is unsure if he’ll face the Jets on Sunday, it looks like he’s officially back for the Steelers. JuJu is in the FLEX mix with fantasy titles on the line, but he carries risk in his first game since Week 11.

Vance McDonald cleared concussion protocol.

McDonald is good to go for Week 16 against the Jets, but he should probably considered more of a TE2 option for fantasy title games.

Adam Humphries (ankle) is officially out for Week 16.

This is Humphries third consecutive missed game with his ankle injury, and he’s probably on the doubtful side of things for Week 16 considering he’s been ruled out ahead of the weekend again.

D.J. Chark (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Week 16.

Chark is looking like a game-time decision for Sunday against the Falcons, but the Jaguars kickoff at 1:00 PM ET, so his status will be known in the morning. Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone does expect Chark to play, though, so he’s probably OK to insert into fantasy lineups if you’re between him and someone from one of the Saturday games.

Daniel Jones will officially start in Week 16.

This has been expected all week, and now it’s official. Jones will look to string together a couple of wins to conclude his rookie year, but ideally you’ll have a stronger fantasy option in championship matchups.
