Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) expected to play Week 16

Dec 18, 2018

Now in his fourth NFL season, Melvin Gordon is expected to return from a sprained knee Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens in the Chargers’ next-to-last game before the playoffs.

“It’s going to be tough,” Gordon said. “But we’re going to go out there and knock off some rust and get myself ready for the playoffs.”

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon sat out the last three games after suffering a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee Nov. 25. Gordon was close to returning last Thursday against the Chiefs but was unable to convince coach Anthony Lynn of his readiness during a pregame workout. Lynn had told Gordon the previous night that he was leaning toward not playing him.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving, WR Mike Evans miss second straight practice

Today’s Bucs-Raiders injury report…Mike Evans and Bucky Irving still not practicing. Talked to Evans today though and he said, “I’m feeling good. Played close to 70 plays the last game. Felt…really good shape. I’m getting very close.”

Fantasy Impact:

We don't need to panic quite yet, but we're coming up against it if Evans and Irving don't practice on Friday. While the WR2s aren't particularly interesting, Rachaad White would be an easy click in Week 14 if Irving misses the game.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs off injury report ahead of TNF

These Packers are off the injury report and expected to play Thursday night: RB Josh Jacobs (calf), DL Kenny Clark (rest), TE John FitzPatrick (back), OL Elgton Jenkins (knee), C Josh Myers(pectoral), tackle Rasheed Walker (knee) and DL Colby Wooden(shoulder).

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson, Chris Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

The Packers are content to run the peak-years Josh Jacobs into the ground, and we should do the same in our Fake Football lineups. With 20-25 opportunities in the mix on any given week, there's no reason to consider Jacobs anything but an RB1.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith listed as full practice participant

The Eagles listed WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) as a full participant on today's estimated injury report.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Britain Covey

Fantasy Impact:

Fantastic news for the Eagles, who decided to simply lean on Saquon Barkley with their WR2 void in Week 13. This should hopefully add lump humph to Jalen Hurts' menial passing totals, with Smith considered a fringe WR2/3 in Week 14.
