Johnson was added to the injury report late in the week with an illness and missed altogether Friday. The 24-year-old tight end won’t even travel with the team to Las Vegas this week. His absence thins out an already thin Giants tight end group, though it’s unlikely many fantasy managers were counting on Johnson after putting up a zero in Week 16.

Last week, London was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before getting a rest day Friday. That pattern looks to be repeating this week, although one day later in the week due to Atlanta’s Monday Night date with the Rams. If London practices tomorrow it’ll be good news, but regardless he’s almost a lock to be in your fantasy lineups in Week 17, even if last Sunday’s return wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Neither is Devonta Smith (illness), and both figure to remain involved borderline WR1 and borderline WR2 starters, respectively, in Week 17 fantasy championships. Brown practiced in full today and should be good to go.

He was limited in practice today, despite not being seen by reporters in the media access portion of the session. Olave has been listed with this back issue before and has said this week that he had “similar back issues dating back to high school.” We’d consider him on the optimistic side of questionable, but it’s never great to have a Friday downgrade on the injury report.

With the 49ers playing on Sunday night, Kittle being a game-time decision would create quite a conundrum for fantasy managers. Backup tight end Jake Tonges would make for a nice streaming option if Kittle were to be sidelined, but Tonges will be hard to trust if we have to wait up until inactive are announced to decided whether or not he can be played. Kittle has yet to practice this week but we have seen him play without practicing before. Fantasy managers will need to keep their options open and continue to monitor this situation throughout the weekend the longer Kittle’s status remains up in the air.

The soreness in Allen’s foot “has dissipated throughout the week,” according to McDermott. Allen has been dealing with a foot injury he suffered in Week 16’s win over the Browns, but this doesn’t seem like anything too serious. Allen did not miss a play after going down last week and has been limited throughout practice this week. The Bills have struggled to move the ball through the air as of late, but McDermott said on Friday he doesn’t expect Allen’s injury to slow him down this weekend. He will be in the QB1 mix despite a tough matchup.

Horrendous, down-bad play from Goff, and he was the best quarterback on the field. Max Brosmer was able to avoid the mistakes because the Vikings refused to allow them to happen, and Goff’s five turnovers were too much for Detroit to overcome. With the loss, Detroit is now eliminated from playoff contention. Goff will have a chance to compile some stats in a meaningless game against the Bears in Week 18. Fantasy managers who rostered Goff for this one are going to have to play catch up.

Both Love and Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) are listed as questionable for the Saturday night showdown against Baltimore. Signs seem to be pointing for Love to be the starter for that contest after being a limited participant estimate Thursday, but he’ll need to clear the protocol before that can happen. There should be more clarification on this situation Friday, and fantasy managers who “need” to use either should be prepared for alternate paths.

Jackson was listed as a non-participant for Thursday’s practice before getting the doubtful designation. The 28-year-old almost assuredly will be out for Saturday’s game against the Packers, meaning Tyler Huntley will get the start in that contest. Whether Jackson plays in Week 18 against the Steelers will depend on how the signal-caller heels, and also if that game has any meaning.

Kittle has has now not participated in back-to-back practices ahead of the 49ers’ critical Week 17 game against the Bears. The tight end still has a chance to play, but Friday’s practice will be critical. Fantasy managers should be prepared for an alternative.
