Q: What are the reasonable expectations for rookie receivers Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson?

A: The Jaguars used the 39th overall pick to select Lee from USC and then traded up to No. 60 to take Robinson from Penn State on the draft’s second night.

Lee and Robinson will get ample opportunities to play right away … they just have to get on the field. Lee (ankle) and Robinson (hamstring) both missed the last five OTAs and all three mini-camp practices.

Their absence allowed Allen Hurns, Kerry Taylor, Damian Copeland, etc., to show their talents, but make no mistake, the Jaguars’ depth chart is 1. Cecil Shorts and 2./3. Lee or Robinson.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like one of Lee or Robinson will win a job across from Shorts. Right now we have Lee ranked 59th vs. Robinson at 110. Neither are getting drafted in 10-team leagues, but obviously there could be some potential there and this is something to watch through camp.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker officially Out for Week 17

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.
