Team news: Minnesota Vikings | Page 8

Commanders’ QB Jacoby Brissett is being added to the injury report due to hamstring tightness and will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. If he can’t start, Sam Howell would.

Quite the curveball here ahead of Week 17. Howell would return to fantasy relevance due to his legs, but will ding the skill position groups, namely, Terry McLaurin.

WR Hollywood Brown will go on IR with heel injury. Ends Brown’s season.

QB Kyler Murray will be back at practice today and should be fine to play Sunday.

With Brown out here in Week 17, the best way to use the Cardinals receiving group is to just stick with Trey McBride and ignore the rest.

The Commanders are making a QB change with two games left. Following his impressive performance on Sunday, Jacoby Brissett will start against the 49ers, coach Ron Rivera is announcing.

Sam Howell to the bench.

Howell offered us a lot of fantasy points with his legs, but in terms of real-life football, his decision-making and processing were lacking, leading to an astronomical 60 sacks taken and 24 turnover-worthy passes that led to 17 interceptions. Brissett offers a Superflex QB2 option against a tough 49ers defense.

Ron Rivera said they're still "working through a couple things" in deciding who will be the Commanders' starting QB going forward.

The post went on to say the players are off today, so an announcement likely will come Wednesday. It will be a tough task no matter who gets the call as they host a 49ers team fresh off a loss to Baltimore. Howell threw two INTs and was just 6 for 22 with 56 yards before Brissett entered and went 10 for 13 for 100 yards and a TD.

Via Alec Lewis of TheAthletic.com, O’Connell also mentioned that receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) and cornerback Mekhi Blackmon (shoulder) are both day-to-day.

Addison left last week's game and didn't return. With T.J. Hockenson lost for the season at TE, the Vikings will need all hands on deck as they sit at 7-8 on the season. There is also a report that any of their three QBs could get the start in Week 17. If Addison can't go, Osborn could be in line for more targets. There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this offense right now.

The Vikings won’t have tight end T.J. Hockenson for the rest of the season.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed in his Tuesday press conference that Hockenson suffered a torn ACL and MCL during Sunday’s loss to the Lions.

It’s a significant blow to the Vikings’ offense, as Hockenson leads the team with 95 catches and 960 yards in his first full season with the club. While Hockenson will finish with 15 games played, both are career highs for the 26-year-old tight end. Hockenson also has five touchdowns, the story all said. The worry now, of course, is how much time could Hockenson miss to start the 2024 season.

Initial outlook is ‘not good’ on Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson’s knee injury, per source.

The post went on to say the team is hoping to be surprised by today’s MRI but bracing for damage. Hockenson put together another Pro Bowl-type season with 95 catches for 960 yards and five TDs, the story added. The hope at this point is that Hock's injury doesn't carry over into next season but that certainly is possible based on this report.

The Vikings ruled out TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) and WR Jordan Addison (ankle) for the rest of Sunday’s game against the Lions.

In a short period of time, the Vikings have lost two of their top offensive weapons as they try to hang around with the Lions and keep their playoff and division hopes alive. Justin Jefferson is still around which is always a positive but the offense certainly takes a hit. We’ll see if the Vikings can overcome these injuries in a big moment.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown will not play Sunday in Chicago, coach Jonathan Gannon said.

He also said CB Garrett Williams and CB Bobby Price won’t play, as well.

Hollywood Brown popped for 12 targets and 88 yards back in Week 12 but has combined for a total of 60 snaps, three targets, and zero receptions in the two following games. It will be difficult to trust him for the rest of the season in fantasy.

Jets’ QB Trevor Siemian will start Sunday vs. the Commanders.

Related Players: Zach Wilson, Brett Rypien

Zach Wilson has been declared out with a concussion for Sunday, so Siemian and Rypien will be the options for the Jets in Week 16. Garrett Wilson continues to play in quarterback purgatory, but his talent still makes him a WR2 option.
