Report: Felix Jones will not play if Giants win

Dec 24, 2011

FoxSports Southwest's Matt Mosley: "If the Giants beat the Jets, Felix Jones will not play a snap vs Eagles. Jets win, he's 50-50."

ESPN Dallas's Bryan Broaddus: "Hearing the same info about Felix Jones playing as @mattmosley is. If NYG win, he will not play. If NYJ win, there is a better shot."

Fantasy Impact:

It never made sense that the Cowboys would rush Jones back if the game was meaningless, especially if they faced a must-win game the following week. It sounds as if he's likely to be active (assuming his hammy is good enough to play) and then his workload will be determined based on the outcome of the Jets/Giants game. There's always the chance that he's not healthy enough to play even if Dallas needs the win. Bottom line: Felix Jones is not a worthwhile fantasy play this week, while Sammy Morris looks like a fringe RB2 with considerable risk. He looked good last week, but he's still a 34-year-old who was sitting on his couch two weeks ago. Generally speaking, he has been able to produce when given the opportunity.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo, Nick Bosa, and Dre Greenlaw active for Week 15

In Week 15, the red and gold have defensive lineman Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw active and ready for the team's second meeting with their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams.

On the other side of the ball, the 49ers will have rookie running back Isaac Guerendo available against the Rams. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday on account of a foot sprain but was given the green light to play ahead of "Thursday Night Football."

Fantasy Impact:

We do expect Guerendo to handle the majority workload for TNF, but you do have to wonder if he gets the same type of workload he would have, had he avoided the injury report all week. Consider him closer to an RB3 than a locked-in RB2 he otherwise would have been.
