Theo Johnson

NYG Tight End #84

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Giants TE Theo Johnson (illness) is out for Week 17’s game against the Raiders.

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.
Davante Adams

LA Wide Receiver #17

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) was not seen practicing on Friday.

We do not expect Adams to play this week. The 33-year-old wide receiver has already aggravated the multi-week injury once, and the Rams (11-4) have secured a playoff spot. On the off chance he plays, he would be a candidate to score a touchdown, operating in his featured red zone role, but he makes for a dicey play overall. Just two days ago, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Rams may “shut down” Adams for the final two games of the regular season.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle/knee) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Bears.

Pearsall has been practicing in a limited capacity this week, though we do not yet know his official participation level for Friday. If he can suit up against the Bears this weekend, he can only be viewed as a boom-bust FLEX option. Pearsall has demonstrated intriguing route running abilities this season, but knee and ankle injuries continue to slow him down.
George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Bears.

Kittle did not practice this week, and reportedly told head coach Kyle Shanahan that he “should have a better answer by tomorrow” regarding his Week 17 availability. Kittle is no stranger to playing through injury, and although he is clearly less than 100.0 percent, he warrants TE1 treatment if active.
Maxx Crosby

LV Defensive End #98

Raiders head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that EDGE Maxx Crosby (knee) is being “shut down.”

Crosby is not going to like this. Hours ago, after the team ruled Crosby out for Week 17, FOX’s Jay Glazer reported that Crosby, disgruntled, had “left the building,” calling into question “his future in Vegas.” It seems likely that the decision to shut Crosby down, ostensibly for Week 18 as well, will be formalized with a move to injured reserve. Crosby leads the team with 53 quarterback pressures and 10 sacks.
Kyle Pitts

ATL Tight End #8

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (knee) was limited in Friday’s practice.

He actually wasn’t listed on the injury report yesterday, but given how Pitts has been playing of late this is likely just managing through a minor concern. There’s no reason to doubt his status for Week 17 and he belongs on the TE1 line against the Rams.
Drake London

ATL Wide Receiver #5

Falcons WR Drake London (knee) was limited in Friday’s practice.

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.
Malik Willis

GB Quarterback #2

Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) is expected to start in Week 17 against the Ravens.

Willis has an injury in his throwing shoulder and is currently sick, but the Packers evidently feel good about his ability to play this weekend. The backup quarterback has completed 12-of-14 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns while rushing 13 times for 63 yards, appearing in three games this season. Earlier today, ESPN’s Dan Graziano said he believes “several [teams] have their eyes on” Willis as a “potential solution” at quarterback in 2026. Consider this an audition. He is officially questionable to play and can be treated as a viable QB2 starter, if active.
Jordan Love

GB Quarterback #10

Packers ruled out QB Jordan Love (concussion) for Week 17 against the Ravens.

Love remained limited in practice all week and was labeled him questionable to play yesterday. He was evidently unable to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol. Packers No. 2 QB Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) is expected to start in Love’s stead. Willis is not without risk, given his current state of being, but he is a viable QB2 starter.
A.J. Brown

PHI Wide Receiver #11

Eagles WR A.J. Brown (teeth) is not on Philadelphia’s final Week 17 injury report.

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.
