Rotoworld Player News Headlines

All Player News

Javonte Williams

DAL Running Back #33

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Javonte Williams (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Williams went down with a shoulder injury in Week 17 against the Commanders. He left in the second quarter and was listed as questionable to return but never did so. Malik Davis would be an option for the Cowboys, but his availability for Week 18 is also in doubt because of an eye issue. Jaydon Blue would be the next man up if both backs are ruled out for Week 18.
Harold Fannin

CLE Tight End #44

Harold Fannin (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

As expected, David Njoku also remained out of practice. Njoku is likely out for Week 18, while head coach Kevin Stefanski is leaving the light on for Fannin. With the Browns only playing for a better draft pick, there isn’t much reason to push either player to suit up on Sunday. Backup tight ends Blake Whiteheart and Sal Cannella would be in line for more work if both starting options are ruled out.
Drake Maye

NE Quarterback #10

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said the team’s starters will play in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

The Patriots are still fighting for the No. 1 seed in the AFC and the bye that comes with it. They need to win versus Miami and the Broncos need to lose to the Chargers. With Justin Herbert out for Week 18, the second leg of that parlay is looking rather unlikely. Still, Drake Maye and company will be out there on Sunday, though we suspect he will be on a shorter leash than usual. If the game isn’t close at halftime or the end of the third quarter, expect Vrabel to be quick to pull some of the team’s big names.
Stefon Diggs

NE Wide Receiver #8

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said he “has not heard anything” that would keep Stefon Diggs or Christian Barmore from playing in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

Diggs is facing felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges. His arraignment is set for January 23rd. Barmore has an arraignment in February that stems from an alleged domestic incident in August. Things could change with both players as these stories develop, but the legal process is slow and the NFL may ultimately wait to step in until that process plays out. For now, both players appear to be available for NFL’s postseason.
Brady Cook

NYJ Quarterback #4

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters QB Brady Cook will start against the Bills in Week 18.

Cook has done very little to elevate the Jets’ offense in his three starts so far. He’s had less than 200 passing yards in all three games and has one touchdown to seven interceptions. He’ll get one more chance to make a lasting impression on the new Jets’ regime in Week 18 against the Bills.
Jordan Love

GB Quarterback #10

Packers coach Matt LaFluer told reporters QB Jordan Love (concussion) will practice on Wednesday, though he remains in the league’s concussion protocol.

LaFluer also confirmed that the Packers plan on resting some of their starters in Week 18 against the Vikings. It makes plenty of sense with Green Bay already locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC Playoffs. Love would seem to be a prime candidate to get the week off even if he clears concussion protocol in time this week.
Luther Burden

CHI Wide Receiver #10

Bears coach Ben Johnson told reporters he’s “hopeful” WR Luther Burden (quad) can play against the Lions in Week 18.

Burden was carted off the field after injuring his quad on the last play of the Bears’ Week 17 loss to the 49ers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier this week that the injury isn’t thought to be serious. Johnson’s comments Wednesday seem to confirm that report. With the Bears hopeful Burden can play against the Lions this week, he’ll likely be available for the playoffs even if he’s ultimately held out this week.
Josh Allen

BUF Quarterback #17

Bills coach Sean McDermott told reporters that while QB Josh Allen (foot) won’t practice Wednesday, he’s trending in the right direction ahead of Week 18’s matchup with the Jets.

The Bills will hold a walkthrough Wednesday, though their quarterback won’t participate. McDermott reiterated that Allen is moving in the right direction. It’s good news, though Buffalo can probably get by the Jets with Allen only playing some of the game. He’s certainly at risk to get benched late, which is worth considering for those still in active fantasy leagues.
Marvin Harrison Jr.

ARI Wide Receiver #18

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out for Week 18 against the Rams.

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Harrison would continue to play through his heel injury this week if he was healthy enough. It turns out that the 23-year-old receiver isn’t healthy enough after hurting his other foot in the Week 17 loss to the Bengals. Harrison wasn’t having much of an impact with one catch in the last two games since returning to the lineup. With Harrison out, Michael Wilson is a must-start option for fantasy managers. Wilson is the WR3 over the last seven weeks behind only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He needs 93 yards in Week 18 to have his first 1,000-yard season.
Christian McCaffrey

SF Running Back #23

49ers GM John Lynch told reporters RB Christian McCaffrey (back) is trending towards playing in Week 18 against the Seahawks.

The 49ers had a walkthrough Tuesday and McCaffrey was listed as out with a back injury. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reports the 29-year-old running back’s back is “a little stiff.” Trainers tended to CMC’s back in the fourth quarter of the win over the Bears in Week 17, with McCaffrey returning to finish the game. With Lynch saying that he’s trending towards playing, fantasy managers can expect McCaffrey to be available in Week 18. Brian Robinson is the clear handcuff to roster if anything changes.
