Titans RB Derrick Henry in concussion protocol

Dec 04, 2023

Titans’ RB Derrick Henry, who left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter to be checked for a concussion, is in concussion protocol.

Fantasy Impact:

That will leave his status for this week's game in Miami in doubt. The trend this year is players tend to miss a week after entering protocol, but it isn't always the case. If Henry has to miss the game, Spears would seem to be a solid replacement option. He could benefit in the passing game if the Titans fall behind against a powerful Dolphin offense. Spears had 20 touches against the Colts, including 16 carries and four receptions.

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.
