Jets QB Bryce Petty (shoulder) to IR

Dec 26, 2016

As expected, Bryce Petty’s audition as the Jets quarterback ended after Saturday’s 41-3 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

The Jets revealed Monday Petty suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder during the game when he tried to make a tackle after a fumble by Jets running back Khiry Robinson.

The team announced it had placed the second-year quarterback on injured reserve and added linebacker Corey Lemonier to the roster in his place.

Fantasy Impact:

Unfortunately for Petty, it doesn’t appear he answered any questions definitively about whether he should be the starter in 2017. As for Sunday’s game against the Bills, Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to start with rookie second-round draft pick Christian Hackenberg likely to be dressed as the backup for the first time in his career.

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.

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.
