La Canfora: Case Keenum expected to start for Texans in Week 16

Dec 18, 2014

Texans HC Bill O'Brien is delaying an official announcement as long as possible but every expectation Case Keenum starts vs. Ravens on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Andre Johnson averaged 6.9 catches for 100 yards and 0.6 TD (on nearly 12 targets) in the eight games in which Keenum played last season. DeAndre Hopkins' numbers were relatively unchanged with Keenum under center.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill misses second straight practice

Tyreek Hill (oblique) not in pads

Also not suited up here for Miami Dolphins

Mo Kamara (protocol) Alec Ingold (protocol) Austin Jackson, Andrew Meyer, Byron Matos, Ashtyn Davis, Cam Smith, Dante Trader

Fantasy Impact:

It's been quite the tumultuous calendar year for Tyreek, who has buried his running back at one point, his whole team at another, and has been called out by his quarterback on a third occasion. This all comes after arguably his least efficient season of his career. Hill should be considered a mid-tier WR2, even if he doesn't miss any time.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson dealing with back contusion; not considered serious

Jake Ferguson is dealing with a back contusion suffered Thursday, according to a source. Not considered serious so the Cowboys avoid a scare with their starting tight end.

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for Ferguson here. As a clear option to be the No. 3 pass-catcher in a pass-heavy offense, he should be considered as a fantasy asset in the fringe TE1/2 range.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (finger) "checked out fine", considered day-to-day

Colts QB Anthony Richardson, who dislocated his pinky last night, checked out fine and is considered day-to-day. Good news after a night cut short.

Related Players: Daniel Jones

Fantasy Impact:

Positive result for Richardson here, and the murky Colts QB situation gets even more murky. The initial pictures of his finger didn't look great, so we'll see how quickly he can return to practice. Both he and Jones can be safely avoided for now in all but the deepest of leagues, but Richardson has a lot of fantasy value if we ever get clearance that he's the Week 1 starter.
