Minneapolis Star Tribune: Tarvaris Jackson will get another start
at QB this Sunday against Atlanta at the Metrodome and veteran Gus Frerotte will serve as the backup. Frerotte suffered a broken bone
in his lower back against Detroit on Dec. 7 enabling Jackson to
play for the first time since he was benched after Week 2. Jackson
helped the Vikings rally for a victory over the Lions and then
threw a career-high 4 TD passes last Sunday in a 35-14 victory at
Arizona. HC Childress declined to say who would start on Wednesday
but today OC Darrell Bevell made the announcement during his
weekly news conference. Frerotte was the #3 QB last Sunday but the
fact he's going to be the backup means that the Vikings consider
him healthy enough to play. Bevell said the decision to start
Jackson "is what we're doing for this week" and declined to say if
Jackson might keep the job long term. "We're still continuing to
let him heal up," Bevell said of Frerotte. "Obviously we don't
want to get him in there and knocked around and knock that thing
loose or cause him anymore problems. He was out here in practice
yesterday, he moved around well so we just continue to bring it
along the way we have it."

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.
