Colts beat writer Phillip B. Wilson on RB Joseph Addai:...

Nov 25, 2011

Colts beat writer Phillip B. Wilson on RB Joseph Addai: "Because the Colts shipped RB Darren Evans back to practice squad means they at least think Addai could be an emergency third back. I don’t think they go into the game with just two healthy RBs. While Addai was a full go in practice all week, he has said the right hammy is still sore. The hunch is he dresses, but I tend to doubt a full workload, if much. Expected to play."

Fantasy Impact:

The reason Addai's status is important is how it impacts Donald Brown, who headed into the Colts' bye as the team's RB1. The matchup against the Panthers is terrific, so whoever gets the bulk of the touches has a chance to post a solid fantasy line. The Colts play at 1:00 PM ET.

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.
