SEA Cornerback #34

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Packers declared CB Shemar Jean-Charles, C Jake Hanson, DL Jack Heflin, LB Isaiah McDuffie, and S Vernon Scott inactive for Week 1 against New Orleans.

The Packers go into Week 1 at full health against a Saints defense missing some key players. They’ll play an “away” game against the Saints in Jacksonville while New Orleans recovers from Hurricane Ida.

John Morton

DET Offensive Coordinator

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport believes that hiring a new offensive coordinator and play caller “could make a lot of sense” for the Lions.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell took play-calling duties from OC John Morton in Week 10. The offense averaged 5.8 yards per play in Weeks 1-9 and 6.1 from Weeks 10-17. Campbell could feasibly keep play-calling duties in 2026, though he may wish to hand that responsibility off to an up-and-coming offensive mind.

Kelce's future looms over Chiefs' fantasy WR corps

December 26, 2025 03:48 PM

With Travis Kelce potentially having played his final Chiefs home game in Week 17, Denny Carter looks at which pass catchers could be fantasy relevant in Week 18 and beyond, should the star tight end retire.

Jack Bech

LV Wide Receiver #18

Raiders WR Jack Bech (back) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Giants.

The Raiders’ second-round rookie has not had a good season. Bech has caught 20-of-26 targets for 224 scoreless yards, while averaging 1.27 yards per route run. Hopefully, Bech can return in time for Week 18, so he can put something decent on film before the team begins evaluating its pre-draft needs.

Raheem Mostert

LV Running Back #31

Raiders RB Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Giants.

Mostert has not been fantasy-relevant, but with the Raiders have shutting down TE Brock Bowers (knee) and EDGE Maxx Crosby (knee), we figure all skill position players are worth keeping an eye on. Mostert sits in second on the depth chart, with RB Zamir White and RB Dylan Laube behind him.

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.

Kimani Vidal

LAC Running Back #30

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) is questionable for Week 17 against the Texans.

The team put out an estimated practice report for Christmas Day, but gave players the day off. Vidal is surprisingly listed as a limited participant after sitting out the team’s first two practices. He would be a very risky FLEX option if active. We expect RB Omarion Hampton to hog touches against a stout Texans defense, regardless.

Luke Wattenberg

DEN Center #60
Broncos C Luke Wattenberg (shoulder) is expected to be sidelined for three weeks, “through the first two rounds of the playoffs.”

Wattenberg grades well as both a pass protector and run blocker, earning a 70.9 PFF offense grade. With Wattenberg sidelined, the Broncos signed C Sam Mustipher off the Chargers’ practice squad. Broncos C Alex Forsyth will operate as the starter with Wattenberg sidelined. Mustipher is his backup.

Ikem Ekwonu

CAR Tackle #79

Panthers LT Ikem Ekwonu (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 17 against the Seahawks.

The Panthers get their left tackle back after a one-game absence. The Panthers (8-7) astonishingly hold the NFC South’s top spot. Getting Ekwonu back in time to face the Seahawks’ top-tier defense is good news for QB Bryce Young, who has one year remaining on his contract and will continue to be evaluated closely by the coaching staff.
