Dexter McCluster

FA Running Back

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
According to Nick Wright of 610 Sports in Kansas City, Dexter McCluster (ankle) not only will play Sunday but will also start at split end against the Broncos.

Wright was the first to nail down McCluster’s high ankle sprain five weeks ago, so he appears to have a go-to source close to the rookie. McCluster practiced fully all week and has been taken off the injury report. Verran Tucker has averaged just one catch per game as the split end while McCluster was sidelined. It’s an upgrade for Matt Cassel. McCluster shouldn’t be trusted even in PPR leagues in his first week back.

Charles Cross

SEA Tackle #67

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
The Seahawks ruled out LT Charles Cross (hamstring) for Week 18 against the 49ers.

Cross was unable to resume practicing this week, theoretically leaving OL Josh Jones (knee/ankle) as the team’s fill-in starter. Unfortunately, Jones is questionable to play this week, though he reportedly “just got banged up” in Week 17 and is expected to play.

Matthew Berry, Jay Croucher and Connor Rogers share if Trey McBride should be a first-round pick in fantasy next year, how Malik Nabers could play with Jaxson Dart and why Justin Jefferson can still be a weapon in 2026.

Trent Williams

SF OFFENSIVE TACKLE (SUB) #71

49ers LT Trent Williams (hamstring) is questionable to play in Week 18 against the Seahawks.

The 37-year-old Williams suffered his first career hamstring injury, running 17.6 miles per hour on the 49ers’ first play from scrimmage last week. He was entirely unable to practice, but we expect him to give it a go in pre-game warmups.

Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) is questionable to play in Week 18 against the Seahawks.

Pearsall is on track after logging three consecutive limited practice sessions this week. He played through the pain last week, meeting with team trainers at times along the sideline. Despite the injuries, he caught 5-of-8 targets for 85 yards. Pearsall is a WR3 with big-play upside against the Seahawks’ top-tier defense this week.

Rashid Shaheed

SEA Wide Receiver #22

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (concussion) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 18 against the 49ers.

Shaheed suffered a concussion in Week 17, but kicked off Week 18 practices with a limited session on Tuesday. He upgraded to full on Wednesday and continued practicing fully today. The Seahawks’ speedy receiver and return specialist could rip off a few long gains this week against the 49ers’ fantasy-friendly defense.

George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 18 against the Seahawks.

Kittle remained limited throughout all three practices this week. We expect him to play through the ankle injury in a winner-take-all matchup against the Seahawks. While both teams are playoff-bound, the winner claims the NFC West title and the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed. Kittle is an elite TE1.

Jake Ferguson

DAL Tight End #87

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) was limited on Thursday.

Ferguson aggravated his old calf injury during his team’s Week 17 game and was unable to practice yesterday. He now has a chance to play in Week 18. Whether the Cowboys allow him to play is a separate issue. The 26-year-old tight end is under contract through 2029.

Javonte Williams

DAL Running Back #33
Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) did not practice on Thursday.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters early on Wednesday that both Williams and RB Malik Davis (calf/eye) would be limited. Instead, the team listed both players with DNPs yesterday and today. Rookie RB Jaydon Blue could see a fantasy-friendly workload this week against the Giants.

Jaylen Waddle

MIA Wide Receiver #17

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) was limited on Thursday.

Waddle injured his ribs early in Week 17 and could not return. The 27-year-old wide receiver typically plays through injury, though. He has a chance to retake the field this week against the Patriots, though the coaching staff could choose to shut him down, preserving his health for next season.

Darren Waller

MIA Tight End #83
Dolphins TE Darren Waller (groin) did not practice on Thursday.

The Dolphins have let TE Greg Dulcich play ahead of Waller recently. If Waller is unable to play in Week 18 against the Patriots, the coaching staff will only be further incentivized to see what they have in Dulcich. Stay tuned.

De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28
Dolphins RB De’Von Achane (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday.

Achane has now missed this week’s first two practices. The diminutive running back often toughs it out on game day, though the Dolphins have been eliminated from playoff contention. Tomorrow’s practice participation should clarify his status. Dolphins No. 2 RB Jaylen Wright would start in his stead if he cannot play.
