Colts optimistic RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will practice

Oct 21, 2024

Shane Steichen said he’s optimistic that DeForest Buckner and Jonathan Taylor could practice this week.

Related players: Trey Sermon, Tyler Goodson

Fantasy Impact:

Taylor has been out since Week 4 and it would be a good sign if he can get back on the practice field leading up to a big game against the Texans. Goodson led the team in RB carries over Sermon 14-8, although Sermon was a bit more productive and also added a catch for 13 yards. Taylor's return would be a welcome addition to the offense and we'll hopefully know more as the week goes on. The Texans-Colts game is an early Sunday game so owners will have time to adjust lineups.

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.

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

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.
