Cardinals RBs James Conner and Trey Benson practice on Thursday

Dec 26, 2024

Make that another day of practice for Arizona Cardinals RBs James Conner and Trey Benson.

A good sign for their respective statuses this Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

If both are cleared ahead of kickoff, we should assume a pretty standard split, with Benson probably taking a slight uptick in work. Consider them respective RB2 and RB4s if that is the case.

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (ankle) to miss "a few weeks"

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 3:44 PM EDT

Ravens HC John Harbaugh told reporters that TE Isaiah Likely rolled his ankle and is now expected to miss a few weeks.

Related Players: Mark Andrews

Fantasy Impact:

This should put him on track to be ready for Week 1, which is a sigh of relief for deep-league managers and Ravens fans alike. He should remain firmly in TE2 territory, with Andrews missing time a requisite for him being a consistent fantasy option.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (calf) day-to-day

49ers OC Klay Kubiak on Jauan Jennings:

“His calf is bothering him. We're going to take it day-by-day and see where he's at."

Via: @957thegame

Fantasy Impact:

This appears to be the second time Jennings has dealt with a calf injury, including one back in OTAs. This doesn't bode well for his bid for a restructured contract (or trade) that he's been waiting on this summer, and could open the door for more Pearsall usage ahead of a season they will be missing Brandon Aiyuk for at least a portion of.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown leaves practice with an ankle injury

Chiefs coach Andy Reid says WR Hollywood Brown left practice with an ankle injury.

"I don't think it's too bad, but we'll see."

Reid says WR Xavier Worthy "banged his head."

Related Players: Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, Jalen Royals, JuJu Smith-Schuster

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a bad day at the office for the WR room. With Rice potentially missing a portion of the season due to suspension, the Chiefs can't afford to be missing either Brown or Worthy for any time. We'll keep an eye on things, but it's obviously a good sign that Reid doesn't seem overly concerned.
