Pats WR Danny Amendola (ankle) on crutches

Dec 05, 2016

Patriots WR Danny Amendola suffered an ankle injury that forced him out of Sunday’s 26-10 win over the Rams in the second half.

Then after the game, Amendola left the locker room on crutches and with a walking boot on his right foot.

Fantasy Impact:

Amendola suffered the injury on a punt return. He came up lame after the play and limped off the field. Before the injury, Amendola caught three passes for 30 yards. He took over the punt returning duties after rookie Cyrus Jones fumbled an attempt in the first quarter. With the Pats seemingly going back to more three WR sets, any loss of time by Amendola could open up more snaps for Malcolm Mitchell or Chris Hogan.

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.

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.
