Vikings J.J. McCarthy has a right hand injury and will get an MRI.

Related players Max Brosmer

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said X-rays were negative, but he will get an MRI to see if there is any other damage, or if it might be just a bruise. If McCarthy can't go in Week 17, Brosmer would get his second start. Of course, we all remember his first start. But, Brosmer was 7 for 9 for 52 yards in relief of McCarthy in Week 16.

Jordan Love is in concussion protocol.
Malik Willis is dealing with a shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact:

As Rapoport said, all concussions are different, but the trend is for players to miss a game when entering protocol. Love owners will want to keep an eye on him this week to see if he can get back on the practice field. Meanwhile, Willis is dealing with a right shoulder injury, but did finish the game. However, this will also be worth monitoring. The Packers play another Saturday game in Week 17 so fantasy owners should have plenty of time to adjust lineups, but may want to start planning now.

League will review incident involving Steelers WR DK Metcalf, Lions fan

The league will review the incident with DK Metcalf and a Detroit Lion fan from Week 15's game.

Fantasy Impact:

CBS had a clip of Metcalf seemingly wandering over to the stands, grabbing a Lions fan and apparently taking a swing or swipe. Rapoport said a ruling could come Monday night. The fan said Metcalf got mad because he called Metcalf by his full name, and not DK, according to the video. It's very possible Metcalf could be looking at a suspension, which could possibly leave his fantasy owners without him for the finals in Week 17. We'll update as we find out more about this strange incident.
