Jags QB Blake Bortles (shoulder) expected to play Week 12

Nov 21, 2016

The sprained right shoulder that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles suffered during Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions isn’t expected to keep him from playing against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Bortles will get treatment throughout the week and will appear on the team’s injury report, but coach Gus Bradley said Monday, "Just what I heard today, it sounds like he should be in good shape."

Fantasy Impact:

Bortles was hurt when he was hit by Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah and safety Miles Killebrew after a 2-yard gain late in the first quarter. He left the field early before halftime to get his shoulder evaluated -- Chad Henne took the Jaguars’ final snap, a kneel-down -- but played the entire second half.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
