NFL reports: It's no surprise given his performance the last
several weeks, but Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson will start the
regular sesaon finale against the Giants. Vikings coach Brad
Childress confirmed the non-move during his Monday press
conference. The Vikings can clinch the NFC North on Monday night
with a win by the Packers over the Bears, but Childress said the
results won't dictate his strategy in terms of resting players
against the Giants. He expects Giants coach Tom Coughlin to do the
same. "That's how Tom's (Coughlin) wired," said Childress. "You
saw them play all those guys last year against New England. He has
a couple weeks off. He's not going to give them three weeks off.
You want to go into the playoffs, not unlike us, you want to go
up, be an ascending group. You want to win, (and) you want to play
your best so that when you do take that little time off you leave
with a good taste in your mouth."

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
