The Giants are expecting to be without star RB Saquon Barkley for the next several weeks because of his high-ankle sprain, source said.

Fantasy Impact:

We reported Sunday owners will need to be prepared to be without Barkley for Week 4 and likely longer. High ankle sprains tend to take a few weeks and Barkley was already in a boot and crutches by the end of the game. Gallman will likely be a popular pickup this week and looks to be in store for a bigger workload with Barkley out.

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.
