Broncos sign RB Jonathan Williams to practice squad

Sep 05, 2017

The Denver Broncos were expected to fill their last practice squad spot Tuesday, and when the deal is signed, it will show just how badly they wanted running back Jonathan Williams to fill that spot.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams, who was a surprise cut by the Buffalo Bills this weekend after he appeared to be in position to be LeSean McCoy’s backup, agreed to terms to be the Broncos' 10th practice squad player. He also has the possibility of earning $510,000 for the season ($30,000 per week, given practice squad players are paid week to week) if he remains on the practice squad for all 17 weeks of the regular season.

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.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

Fantasy Impact:

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.
