January 2022 4for4 Player News Articles

49ers RB Jeff Wilson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Related Player: JaMycal Hasty, Trey Sermon

LT Trent Williams is also iffy with an ankle injury. If Wilson cannot play, Hasty would be the change-of-pace option for Mitchell with Sermon mainly on special teams.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) is questionable to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Related Players: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon

If we're being honest, Williams does not offer anything McKinnon and CEH don't. If sitting Sunday as touchdown favorites puts Williams in line to play past Sunday, it may benefit the Chiefs.

Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that WR Van Jefferson (knee) will be questionable to play Sunday against the Saan Francisco 49ers.

Related Player: Ben Skowronek

This is an important position for the Rams offense, as only three receivers tend to get targeted weekly. Skowronek would be the cheapest dart throw in DFS this week if Jefferson is unavailable.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams was limited during Thursday's practice.

Related Players: Clyde-Edwards Helaire, Jerick McKinnon

This is concerning after Williams was a full participant Wednesday. Expect Williams to be no better than questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Bengals.

QB Ben Roethlisberger officially announced his retirement on Twitter.

Roethlisberger retires as arguably the best quarterback in team history. The Steelers will now have to decide if Dwayne Haskins and/or Mason Rudolph is the future, or sign/draft Ben's heir apparent.

New Giants GM Joe Schoen spoke about QB Daniel Jones in his first press conference, saying that the team will build an offense around what Jones' strengths.

Those strengths are few and far between, but it seems as if Jones will have at least one last opportunity to show he can hang as a starting QB in the NFL.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) will not play Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills.

Related Players: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon

Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette has been activated from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Playoff Lenny is back and will lead a Bucs backfield that needed him.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (ankle) and WR Breshad Perriman (hip/abdomen) will not play Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Cyril Grayson (hamstring) is questionable.

Grayson could have a major role Sunday and would start if active. He was a late season darling in fantasy and is a sneaky play against a poor Rams secondary.

The Tennessee Titans have activated RB Derrick Henry (foot) from Injured Reserve.

Related Player: D'Onta Foreman

Henry should be the lead back for the Titans, but his workload is very much unclear.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) has no injury designation, while RB Darrel Williams (toe) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Related Player: Jerick McKinnon

A 50/50 backfield could be in order if Williams misses Sunday. If he does suit up, it could be another non-healthy healthy scratch, too. The K.C. backfield could be a DFS minefield this weekend.

The Los Angeles Rams have designated RB Darrell Henderson Jr. (knee) to return from Injured Reserve.

If the Rams advance to the NFC Championship, they could have a three-headed monster in the backfield.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians told reporters Friday that WR John Brown has looked good in practice and could be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Rams. WRs Cyril Grayson (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (hip/abdomen) are questionable for Sunday.

Smokey is back? Somewhere Matt Harmon is pounding an IPA for John Brown. His field-stretching abilities could give a weaker Rams secondary trouble.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (core muscle surgery) was activated from IR.

His return matters with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) doubtful for Saturday. Expect Cobb to run his routes closer to the line of scrimmage in his return with Allen Lazard stretching the field more in the MVS role.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (ankle) and WRs Breshad Perriman (hip/abdomen) and Cyril Grayson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday. RB Giovani Bernard (hip/knee) was limited.

Leonard Fournette is practicing and looks to be an option off IR this week, which means RoJo can sit out again and Bernard can be the receiving back. Perriman and Grayson not practicing thins an already small receiver room in Tampa that could see Mike Evans shadowed by Jalen Ramsey Sunday.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) did not practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

It is more than likely that Williams will not play Sunday. That puts the onus on Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire to lead the Chiefs backfield.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) is doubtful to play Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers.

MVS's status means Randall Cobb may have to play a bigger role than anticipated in his return. Aaron Jones also factors in.

Browns QB Baker Mayfield underwent successful surgery on his torn labrum and will be out 4-6 months.

That timeline lines up with training camps starting, which could/could not be an issue for Mayfield if he takes the full expected amount of time to recover. Case Keenum should be kept as the Browns' backup QB.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) did not practice Wednesday, while RB Aaron Jones (knee) was a full participant.

Related Players: Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard

Valdes-Scantling has been in-and-out of the lineup and the extra time has not helped his back issues. His health is important because it is unlikely that Randall Cobb plays a large chunk of this weekend's divisional game after having core muscle surgery.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (heel) was a full participant Wednesday.

Hill was not himself for parts of K.C.'s Super Wild Card win, so it is good to see him already a full participant.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters Wednesday that RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) "moved around well" Wednesday, but the real test for him is Thursday's practice.

A CEH return matters with Darrel Williams sitting out Wednesday. A CEH-Jerick McKinnon backfield should be expected this weekend.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) did not practice Wednesday.

Related Players: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon, Derrick Gore

CEH may have practiced Wednesday, which will be confirmed once K.C. puts out their first injury report for the week. His return is vital with Williams being a healthy non-scratch during their Super Wild Card win.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that he "would anticipate him (Randall Cobb) playing in this game.”

Related Players: Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling

We all know Cobb's chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, but there is concern with Cobb coming off core muscle surgery getting a lot of action immediately.

Cardinals RB James Conner (heel) and WR Rondale Moore (hamstring) are active for Super Wild Card Monday against the Los Angeles Rams.

Conner active means Chase Edmonds should be no worse than in a 50/50 split, but loses his lead dog role. Moore has been used sporadically and is a true boom/bust play against the Rams.

Rams WR Van Jefferson (shoulder) was limited Friday after practicing in full Thursday.

Not a great sign for Jefferson, but maybe he had time spent with the trainers that limited his practice instead of a setback.

Cardinals RB James Conner (heel) did not practice Friday, while RB Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) and WR Rondale Moore (ankle) were limited.

A second DNP is bad news for Conner, especially with Edmonds ailing as well.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters Friday that RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) will not play Super Wild Card Sunday against the Steelers. Reid expects RB Darrel Williams (toe) and Tyreek Hill (heel) to play.

Related Players: Jerick McKinnon, Derrick Gore

Once CEH could not give it a go Wednesday at practice, his fate appeared sealed. Look for a mixture of the three Chiefs backs Sunday against an okay Steelers rush defense.

Steelers RB Najee Harris (elbow) is questionable for Sunday night's Super Wild Card game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Harris is expected to play and be a focal point once again. He flirted with 100 rushing yards Week 16 against the Chiefs.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hand) is not on the final Eagles injury report and will play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Philly will have their full complement of backs for Tampa and will look to use them all in an attempt to find a way to beat one of the better rush defenses in the league.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (ankle) and WR Cyril Grayson (hamstring) will miss Sunday's Super Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. WR Justin Watson (quad) is questionable.

Related Players: Leonard Fournette, Giovani Bernard, Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Le'Veon Bell

Not ideal for the Bucs, especially if Fournette and/or Bernard is not activated from IR against the Eagles. Philly is very good against the run and Tampa will need one of their better options to suit up.

Cardinals RB James Conner (heel) did not practice Thursday, while RB Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) and WR Rondale Moore (ankle) were limited.

The assumption is all three play, but Conner has to practice Friday in some capacity to have any confidence he suits up Monday night.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (ankle) and WR Cyril Grayson (hamstring) remain out of practice. WRs Breshad Perriman (hip) and Tyler Johnson (quad) remain limited. WR Mike Evans (hamstring) practiced in full.

Buried the lede nicely, eh? The Grayson/Jones injuries loom fairly large are productive pieces of the an offense littered with injuries.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hand) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Expect the same Friday with a questionable tag for the back ahead of their Super Wild Card game against Tampa Bay.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) and WR Jakobi Meyers (thigh) are questionable for Saturday's Super Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills.

Related Player: Rhamondre Stevenson

Both are expected to play, so take these designations at face value.

Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds told reporters Thursday that he is playing Monday night despite rib and toe injuries. HC Kliff Kingsbury had previously said that Edmonds and RB James Conner (heel) would be game-day decisions.

Expect both to play their complementary roles against the Rams.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated WR James Washington from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday, opening his 21-day window to return from IR.

His return probably does little for this weekend, but if he can show that his shoulder is in a good spot, Smith-Schuster could play as soon as the Divisional round if the Steelers upset the Chiefs.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters that WR Tee Higgins (foot) will play Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Higgins was added to the injury report Wednesday but is good to go.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hand) was limited Wednesday, while QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) was a full participant.

The Eagles could have a healthy backfield and QB tandem when they play Tampa this weekend.

Buccaneers WR Cyril Grayson (hamstring) and RB Ronald Jones (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, while WRs Mike Evans (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (hip), and Tyler Johnson (quad) were limited Wednesday.

That is a lot of necessary names on the injury report. Most should play, and the Bucs did open the practice windows for Leonard Fournette and Gio Bernard.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (ribs) and TE Darren Waller (knee) were limited Wednesday.

Expect the same leading up to their game against Cincinnati, especially with cold weather expected.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (foot) was limited during Wednesday's practice.

He is new to the injury report, so this is an injury to monitor.

Chiefs RBs Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) and Darrel Williams (toe) were limited Wednesday.

Related Players: Derrick Gore, Jerick McKinnon

The Chiefs backfield could be a committee approach Super Wild Card Weekend with bumps and bruises limiting their top backs.

Steelers RB Najee Harris (elbow) did not practice Wednesday.

Related Player: Benny Snell

Not ideal for the Steelers, but Harris has been the unquestioned workhorse in the backfield and is probably taking as few reps as possible prior to their game in Kansas City.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) and WR Jakobi Meyers (thigh) were limited at Wednesday's practice.

This has been a recurring theme for the two over past weeks. As long as either do not log a DNP the next two days, expect both to play against the Bills.

Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) fully participated in Wednesday's practice ahead of Buffalo's Super Wild Card game against the New England Patriots.

The Patriots secondary could be without Jalen Mills, so the addition of Sanders to the talented Bills receiving group could go a long way.

Buccaneers RBs Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and Giovani Bernard (hip) returned to practice Wednesday ahead of this weekend's Super Wild Card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bucs HC Bruce Arians felt good about Fournette's chances to return this week. Expect both to slowly work into practice after being off for a minimum of three weeks each.

Saints QB Taysom Hill will undergo Lisfranc surgery and will need a second surgery to remove the hardware needed to complete the first surgery, according to Saints HC Sean Payton. There is no recovery timetable at this moment.

This is a major surgery for Hill, especially considering how important his running prowess is to his overall game. Best wishes in recovery.

The Cincinnati Bengals have removed RB Joe Mixon from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians told reporters Monday that WR Cyril Grayson's hamstring injury "isn't as bad as we thought" but "his availability this week will be in question."

Related Players: Tyler Johnson, Scott Miller, Jaelon Darden

Grayson has stepped up with an injury to Chris Godwin and whatever you want to call the situation with Antonio Brown. This could mean more work for Tyler Johnson with Scott Miller and Jaelon Darden serving as secondary receivers.

Eagles TE Tyree Jackson did not suffer a torn ACL Saturday night but will have further testing done to see the extent of his injury.

Hate to see Jackson hurt after a long injury battle to get to this point, but fingers-crossed he does not miss next week's playoff game.

The Indianapolis Colts have activated WR Parris Campbell from IR. He can play Week 18.

Nothing but the best for Campbell as he returns from another substantial injury. He has little value Week 18, but could be a playoff option in postseason leagues and DFS.

Steelers WR James Washington has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Related Player: Ray-Ray McCloud

That's a wrap on Washington's regular season.

Cardinals RB James Conner (heel) is questionable for Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Related Player: Eno Benjamin

If Conner were unable to play, Eno Benjamin would start with Chase Edmonds out.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (ribs) and TE Darren Waller (knee) are questionable for Week 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Related Players: Peyton Barber, Jalen Richard, Foster Moreau

The Raiders can play spoiler Sunday, especially if Waller returns to action. It is unknown how effective Jacobs and Waller would be if active.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is questionable for Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Related Player: Trey Lance

At this point the confusion between who is starting makes it difficult to figure out the role of Garoppolo and Lance. Lance is healthy, but Jimmy has more work with the first team offense.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) and WR Jakobi Meyers (thigh) are questionable for Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins.

Harris could miss this week with Rhamondre Stevenson healthy and the playoffs looming. Meyers, if active, would give the Patriots their first game with a healthy wide receiver trio in a month.

Patriots WR Nelson Agholor is out of concussion protocol and will play Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins.

He should figure into three-wide sets at the very least as the Patriots get ready for the playoffs.

Saints RB Mark Ingram (knee) is questionable for Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Ingram did not practice Thursday and Friday, so his status is truly questionable.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is questionable for Week 18 against the New Orleans Saints.

Pitts is on the verge of the rookie record for yards by a tight end, but his balky hamstring may prevent him from setting the record.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is questionable for Week 18 against the Detroit Lions.

Related Player: A.J. Dillon

There is no reason for Jones to risk more wear and tear on his knee and probably should take the week off.

Jets WR Braxton Berrios (quad) has been placed on IR.

Berrios has been a PPR end-of-season darling and not having him this week is another reason why you do not play 18 weeks of season-long fantasy football.

Lions WR Josh Reynolds (thigh) is questionable for Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.

Reynolds was added to the injury report Friday, which is not a good sign.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (foot) did not travel with the team to Philadelphia and will not play Week 18.

Related Players: Ezekiel Elliott, Corey Clement

Pollard is a big loss for the Cowboys. Clement will take on a passing role with the Cowboys in Pollard's place.

The Steelers have activated WR Diontae Johnson from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Packers HC Matt LeFleur told reporters Friday that QB Aaron Rodgers will start Week 18 and will see how the game plays out. “I don’t think he needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going.”

Related Player: Jordan Love

Rodgers starting takes he and Love out of consideration for season-long and DFS lineups.

With Justin Fields in COVID-19 protocols, QB Andy Dalton will start for the Chicago Bears Week 18 according to HC Matt Nagy.

Dalton has some upside in 2QB or Superflex leagues, but that is about it.

Giants WRs John Ross (knee) and Kadarius Toney (shoulder) will not play in the Giants season finale against the Washington Football Team.

Toney's injury-filled rookie season ends with a whimper.

Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is doubtful for Week 18 against the New York Jets.

Related Players: Gabriel Davis, Isaiah McKenzie

Sanders' regular season will end with a thud. He could be important for Buffalo's playoff run, but he needs to be healthy.

Browns RB Kareem Hunt (ankle) and TE David Njoku (shoulder) are questionable for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury told reporters Friday that RB Chase Edmonds (ribs/toe) will not play Week 18 against the Seahawks.

Related Players: James Conner, Eno Benjamin

With James Conner battling a heel injury, Eno Benjamin could be in line for more work Week 18.

Ravens QB Tyler Huntley will start Week 18 for the injured Lamar Jackson (ankle)

Jackson has logged one practiced since injuring his ankle one month ago. Baltimore's slim playoff hopes rest on Huntley's shoulders.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) and TE Ricky Seals-Jones (concussion) will not play Week 18 against the New York Giants.

Related Player: John Bates

Samuel was an injury bust this season, while RSJ showed signs of life backing up Logan Thomas for the WFT.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians told reporters Friday that RB Ronald Jones (ankle) will not play Week 18.

Related Player: Ke'Shawn Vaughn

It is the Ke'Shawn Vaughn show for the Bucs Week 18 with Le'Veon Bell working in.

Panthers HC Matt Rhule told reporters Friday that WR Robby Anderson (quad) is questionable, but a game-time decision for Week 18.

It has been a disappointing season for Anderson but the Buccaneers secondary is still vulnerable enough to where Anderson can surprise if he plays.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters Friday that WR Ja'Marr Chase has a chance to play Week 18.

Cool if Chase does, but it is okay if he does not with nothing to play for.

Lions HC Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that QB Jared Goff (knee) is probable to play Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.

Goff appears to be set to end his first season in Detroit starting and not injured. His fantasy value comes if the Packers are resting multiple defensive starters.

Saints RB Mark Ingram (knee) was downgraded to DNP Thursday after logging a limited practice Wednesday.

The Saints' slim playoff hopes rest on a healthy roster, and the loss of Ingram near the goal line is a boost for Alvin Kamara, but a negative for the offense.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) was limited Thursday after not practicing Wednesday.

It's an improvement and what fantasy and DFS players are looking for. Pitts is on the cusp of setting the rookie tight end receiving yards record.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) and RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn (ribs) practiced in full Thursday, while RB Ronald Jones (ankle) sat out again.

Evans could/should be the Bucs' top passing target Week 18, while Vaughn is a lock for the most running work.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) will not play Week 18 against the Denver Broncos.

Related Players: Darrel Williams, Jerick McKinnon

Williams have been a top 20 RB with CEH out, and will see the majority of the RB workload with the top seed in the AFC on the line.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have officially released WR Antonio Brown.

The Chicago Bears have placed QB Justin Fields on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Related Players: Andy Dalton, Nick Foles

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed WR Diontae Johnson on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Related Player: Tyler Huntley

Baltimore's fate is all but sealed for the 2021 season, making it seem unlikely Jackson plays Week 18.

The Las Vegas Raiders have activated TE Darren Waller from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Rams RB Cam Akers (Achilles) will be active Week 18, but HC Sean McVay is uncertain of his workload.

“Cam deserves a lot of credit. This is a special guy who is a special player and getting him back will definitely give us a boost,” McVay said. “What that workload looks like and how it works? I can’t answer that quite yet but I do expect him to be able to contribute in some form or fashion on Sunday against the 49ers.”

Related Player: Sony Michel

Sony Michel should be the lead back Week 18 as Akers works his way back in, but having a second trustworthy back with the NFC West on the line is invaluable.

The Los Angeles Chargers have activated TE Jared Cook off the reserve/COVID-19 list.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters Wednesday that QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) threw on the side and was listed as limited.

Related Player: Trey Lance

Jimmy G is expected to start if he is active Week 18, so make plans to have another QB on your roster if you intended on starting Lance.

The Denver Broncos have placed QB Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) on IR.

Related Player: Drew Lock

Drew Lock is locked in as the Week 18 starter for Denver.

The Denver Broncos have activated WRs Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick from the reserve/COVID list.

The Tennessee Titans have designated RB Derrick Henry to return from Injured Reserve. He now has 21 days to be added to the active roster.

Henry's potential return for the playoffs is huge, especially if the Titans get an extra week of rest if they secure the top seed in the AFC.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow told reporters Wednesday that he will not play Week 18 and will be the backup for Brandon Allen.

Burrow will be the first of many to not play for the Bengals. Joe Mixon (COVID protocols) is also not playing Week 18.

Jets RB Tevin Coleman and TE Tyler Kroft are expected to play Week 18.

Good for them as both dealt with injuries throughout 2021. Neither are fantasy considerations Week 18.

Vikings HC Mike Zimmer told reporters Wednesday that QB Kirk Cousins will start Week 18 against the Chicago Bears.

Cousins will get what could be his last start as a Viking at home against the Bears.

The WFT has activated RB Antonio Gibson from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Related Player: Jaret Patterson

The Carolina Panthers have placed WR Terrace Marshall Jr. on IR, ending his season.

A disappointing rookie campaign for Marshall, who will look to compete for the WR3 role in Carolina next season.

The Cincinnati Bengals have placed RB Joe Mixon on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He will reportedly miss Week 18.

Related Player: Samaje Perine

The Jacksonville Jaguars removed TE Dan Arnold from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott told reporters Tuesday that he is playing Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Yay? 20 rushes for 60 yards incoming!

Browns RB D'Ernest Johnson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters Tuesday that QB Baker Mayfield will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Case Keenum is likely to start.

The Browns season is over and there is no reason to delay Mayfield's surgery any longer. His offseason will be rehab and potentially picking a new place to play football.

The Detroit Lions have removed WR Josh Reynolds from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Giants QB Mike Glennon will have season-ending surgery on his non-throwing wrist. QB Jake Fromm will start for New York week 18.

Avoid the Giants Week 18.

Titans WR Julio Jones has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

The Philadelphia Eagles have placed RBs Jordan Howard and Boston Scott, as well as TE Dallas Goedert on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Jets HC Robert Saleh told reporters Monday that RB Michael Carter is dealing with a concussion, but has a chance to play Week 18.

Related Players: Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson

Concussions are never the same, but if you play in a Week 18 championship and need to replace/add a player for Carter, his backfield mates are not the worst options.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.

Obviously, his season is over and he won't be around for the Cowboys' playoff run, which could possibly begin against the same Arizona team they just lost to. Gallup had three catches for 36 yards and a touchdown and finishes the season with 35 catches for 445 yards and two touchdowns. Very unfortunate timing for him too as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He should be back for the start of next season. It will be interesting to see if that's back with Dallas or with someone else.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians announced WR Antonio Brown is done in Tampa.

Brown went out in flames, ripping his uniform off and walking off the field. Things started off so well in Tampa, Brown was doing well and was a key figure in the Super Bowl run last season. His 2021 will be remembered for his injuries, his suspension for use of a fake vaccination card and now this epic finale against the Jets. Tampa scored late to beat the Jets after trailing for almost the entire game. What a wild scene as the Buccaneers prepare to defend their Super Bowl title.

Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown took off his uniform and walked off the field and seemingly left the game on his own accord.

This is certainly not something you see everyday. Brown just seemed to straight up take his ball and go home as it were. No idea what the issue could be, but things certainly has been rocky since he returned from his suspension, including his beef with the media. Now he has left the field. Who knows at this point if and when he’ll return, if at all. Just another Sunday in the NFL.

Packers WR Davante Adams is likely set to receive the franchise tag this upcoming offseason.

For as great as Adams has been on the field, the Packers have been reluctant to give Adams a huge contract and likely make him the highest-paid wide receiver in football. As Rapoport notes, the Packers and Adams have not had contract talks since July and he is set to be a free agent in March. The franchise tag would at least give Green Bay more time to extend Adams. The tag is projected to be around $20 million for wide receivers.
