Vikings RBs Cook, Mattison both limited Thursday

Dec 26, 2019

Vikings RBs Dalvin Cook (chest) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) were limited in Thursday's practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Thursday was the first full practice of the week after a walkthrough on Wednesday for the Vikings. There's a good chance neither plays, however. The Vikings are locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs, so the team is likely to let both backs rest and prepare for the Wild Card game, which could possibly be on Saturday. Mike Boone would be the lead back again but owners are likely to shy away from him after he disappointed many folks on Monday night with his disappearing act against the Packers.

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

yesterday · 11:39 AM EST

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.
