The Broncos are going to get their first serious look at rookie QB Tim Tebow, who makes his first NFL start with Kyle Orton’s ribs too sore to play. The Broncos have won six of their last seven games here, but the Raiders are still alive in the playoff race and figure to make amends. Raiders RB Darren McFadden is coming off a 123-yard rushing game. He ran for three TDs and 165 yards when the Raiders won at Denver, 59-14. McFadden needs seven rushing yards to become Oakland’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Justin Fargas in 2007. The Broncos are still on track to hire John Elway for a front-office position once the season ends.

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

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.
