Zero surprise regarding Higbee's status. His potential absence would open the door for Kendall Blanton and create a way to save salary in DFS.

Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters that the only injury status that concerns him heading into Super Bowl week is that of TE Tyler Higbee (MCL). RB Cam Akers has not practiced this week, but it was planned.

If Higbee does not play, Kendall Blanton becomes the salary relief play on the Rams side for DFS. It is also somewhat reassuring to see McVay open and honest about injuries heading into the season finale.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is doubtful for Week 17, while RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) is questionable to play against the Houston Texans.

It is Trey Lance time by the bay. His rushing floor makes him an interesting DFS play and iffy season-long start.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo missed Thursday's practice due to a thumb injury.

Jimmy G is dealing with a UCL sprain in his right thumb and has now missed two straight practices. Despite the injury, JImmy G sounds confident that he can play through it against the Houston Texans on Sunday. The quarterback insisted that he played through the injury for most of Week 16 and should be able to suit up as the 49ers attempt to clinch a postseason berth. With that said, he did admit that he and the coaching staff will remain in lockstep in looking out for the team's best interests. Trey Lance has taken all the first-team reps with Garoppolo sidelined and is currently our 14th ranked quarterback for Week 17.
