Fantasy News
Mike Evans | Buccaneers WR
Mike Evans has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Evans is dealing with a hamstring injury that we imagine would have kept him out for this week anyway, so the placement on the list actually comes at a good time to avoid any chance of being placed there in the playoffs. Tampa Bay will get Breshad Perriman back this week to likely start alongside Antonio Brown with others mixing in at wide receiver.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire | Chiefs RB
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (collarbone) has no structural damage, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The injury is not season ending, and while it sounds like CEH will miss some time, we would guess he’ll be back for the postseason (especially if Kansas City gets the No. 1 seed). Darrel Williams will start if Edwards-Helaire does indeed miss regular season games, and he’d be on the RB2 map with Derrick Gore seeing extended run to be a FLEX candidate.
Kareem Hunt | Chiefs RB
Kareem Hunt is being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Cleveland is getting big-time reinforcements back this week, and they are actually still in decent position to win the AFC North if they beat Pittsburgh and Cincinnati over the final two games (while having a little help). The team would be wise to give Nick Chubb at least 20-25 carries next Monday night, but Hunt will be an upside FLEX if he’s healthy.
Miles Sanders | Cowboys RB
Miles Sanders (hand) will not play in Week 17.
Sanders is dealing with a broken hand and won’t be able to play through it this week, but the Eagles hope he’ll be able to play again this season (whether for Week 18 or for a potential playoff appearance). It’s a tough break for Sanders, and Jordan Howard is set to lead the Eagles backfield this week assuming his shoulder is OK.
Allen Robinson II | Free Agent WR
The Bears activated Allen Robinson off the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Robinson missed the past two games while on the COVID list. It has been a very tough year for Robinson on the field, as he has just one touchdown and has not topped 70 yards in any game while playing on the franchise tag. A-Rob will look to get something going over the final two weeks heading into free agency.
