Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will start in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team on Sunday night. Hurts has started the last three games after taking over for an ineffective Carson Wentz in Week 13. In his first three NFL starts, Hurts has gone 62-for-113 for 847 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions while running 38 times

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson doesn’t think his job is in jeopardy and “fully expects” to return as the head coach next season despite losing to the division-rival Cowboys in Week 16 to eliminate the team from postseason contention. As Pederson pointed out, the Eagles have won a championship and have made the playoffs in three of the five seasons that he’s been in

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he’s “probably leaning towards no” when it comes to running back Christian McCaffrey‘s (quadriceps, shoulder) availability for the regular season finale in Week 17 against the Saints, but the team will know more on Wednesday. McCaffrey hasn’t played since Week 9 and has only appeared in three games this season due to injuries. With nothing left to play

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is in a walking boot because of his high-ankle sprain, according to head coach Ron Rivera. McLaurin was kept out of the lineup in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers. Washington could really use the 25-year-old pass-catcher in the lineup for a must-win Week 17 game against the division-rival Eagles, but there’s a good chance he

The Washington Football Team released quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. on Monday. The rough week for Haskins continued on Monday. It comes after he was benched in favor of Taylor Heinicke in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers in which he went 14-for-28 for 154 yards, two interceptions and a lost fumble. The former 15th overall pick in the 2019 draft was also fined and

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II(finger) is on the right track towards coming off the Reserve/COVID list. This would put Jones in line to play against Atlanta, though it’s worth noting that he hasn’t practiced since having a procedure done on his broken finger to insert a pin. Wide receiverChris Godwin had the same issue earlier this season and played after missing just

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ankle) is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Seahawks, making it unlikely that he plays in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Cardinals, according to a source. Henderson is undergoing more tests on Monday to determine the severity. With rookie Cam Akers (ankle) also dealing with

Miami Dolphins wide receiver/kick returner Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 win over the Raiders on Saturday night, according to a source. Grant will not play in Week 17 against the division-rival Bills, and Injured Reserve is a possibility, meaning that he could miss some playoff games if the Dolphins advance. Grant could join Preston Williams on Injured Reserve,

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Taylor Heinicke will start in Week 17 against the Eagles if Alex Smith (calf) cannot play for the third straight game. It means that Dwayne Haskins Jr., who was benched in favor of Heinicke in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers, has been demoted to third-string QB. Heinicke went 12-for-19 for 137 yards and

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (elbow) plans to play in Week 17. Watson was taken off the field and looked at by the medical staff late in Sunday’s loss to the Bengals, though he has since said he’s healthy. The star quarterback has put together his best season as a pro, setting career-highs in yards, completion percentage, and touchdown passes, breaking a franchise record with

The Washington Football Team is optimistic that quarterback Alex Smith (calf) will be back for Week 17 against the Eagles on Sunday night. The team was also optimistic last week that he would play in Week 16 against the Panthers, but that ultimately did not happen, so we’ll have to see how much he can do in practice this week. Smith has missed the last

Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback John Wolford is likely to be the starter in Week 17 against the Cardinals after Jared Goff (thumb) suffered a potentially season-ending broken and dislocated thumb in the Week 16 loss to the Seahawks. Goff is waiting to see how his thumb is after the swelling goes down, but either way he’s unlikely to face Arizona next weekend despite being

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) suffered what is believed to be a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the Bengals and he is highly unlikely to play in Week 17 against the Titans, according to a source. Tunsil will finish up a Pro Bowl season as the blind-side protector for quarterback Deshaun Watson. His absence in Week 17 against the Titans

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. He will not travel or play in the Monday night game against the division-rival Patriots on Monday night. It doesn’t mean much for a fantasy standpoint, as Devin Singletary and rookie Zack Moss should continue to see most of the backfield touches on Monday night against

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 23 times for 98 yards in Sunday’s 40-14 loss to the Packers. He was not targeted in the passing game. Henry was held in check by Green Bay’s defense. Henry failed to top 100 yards but still was very active in the game script, despite the Titans playing from behind for the majority of the game. Look for

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) had four receptions (eight targets) for 43 yards in Sunday’s 40-14 loss to the Packers. Brown had to deal with a tough matchup against Jaire Alexander for most of the contest, and the snowy weather likely didn’t help the ankle injury he had been dealing with recently. The night didn’t play out well for the breakout receiver to

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 11 of 24 pass attempts for 121 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions Sunday. He rushed three times for 55 yards and another touchdown but also lost a fumble in a 40-14 loss to Green Bay. The Titans’ usually solid offensive line struggled mightily when asked to protect against the Packers’ athletic edge rushers. The snowy conditions at Lambeau

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith caught three passes (seven targets) for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 40-14 loss to Green Bay. Ryan Tannehill and the whole Tennessee passing attack struggled mightily in frigid conditions, but Smith was the lone beneficiary of the only passing touchdown of the game, allowing the tight end finish with a decent fantasy output. Smith is having the

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp played exactly as expected in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks with a safe but unspectacular performance. He caught eight of his nine targets for 66 yards on the day, which put him solidly in the WR2 category for the week. Kupp is one of the safest plays in fantasy on a weekly basis thanks to his consistent

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson‘s ankle injury came at a pretty unfortunate time during the team’s Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He had 12 carries for 62 yards on the day before he left the game with an injury, and the team’s game plan really shifted after he left. Teammate Cam Akers is likely going to be the starter for this
