Packers QB Jordan Love left Sunday‘s game against the Bears with a concussion.

Love suffered the hit in the second quarter. He went 8/13 for 77 yards. Malik Willis came on in relief. He’ll have a standard week to clear protocol to play in Week 17, as the Packers have another Saturday game next week against the Ravens.

The 49ers ruled out WR Ricky Pearsall for Monday night’s game against the Colts with an ankle injury.

Pearsall is dealing with the ankle and knee injuries suffered in Week 15, the knee injury being a reaggravation of his Week 4 knee injury. The 49ers will hope to get Pearsall back for Week 17 against the Bears.

Raiders QB Geno Smith (right shoulder/back) fully participated in practice all week and is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game vs. Houston.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

This doesn't do a whole lot for fantasy, but we can give a slight boost to both Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty. Geno can be left on waiver wires.

Sean McVay said he doesn't anticipate WR Davante Adams (hamstring) playing against the Falcons.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington

It looks like Nacua will be in place to continue his historic run, and just in time for us to cash in on a fantasy championship. The rest of the WR room is a little too thin to be playing in these pivotal matchups.

Chiefs ruled out Rashee Rice, Trent McDuffie, Leo Chenal, Jaylon Moore, Jawaan Taylor, Tyquan Thornton, Jake Briningstool, Nazeeh Johnson, and Derrick Nnadi for Sunday's game agains the Titans.

Related Players: Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, Travis Kelce

Geez. Worhty is likely the biggest beneficiary here, but his floor and ceiling are still very much capped with Garnder Minshew at the helm. Consider him and Brown WR4 options, while Kelce is in the low-end TE1 conversation.

The Falcons are listing WR Drake London (knee) as questionable, but coach Raheem Morris told reporters he expects London to return to action on Sunday vs. Arizona.

Related Players: David Sills, Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts

This would be some fantastic timing for fantasy managers who made it out of the first round of the fantasy playoffs without London. If he is cleared by the weekend, he should be locked into fantasy lineups. The player who may see the biggest hit could be Pitts, who is coming off a career game in Week 15. He'd still be very much on the fantasy radar, but his ceiling would be relatively capped.

Browns injury designations for Sunday's game against the Bills:

QUESTIONABLE:
Sam Kamara
Wyatt Teller

OUT:
Jack Conklin
David Njoku
Winston Reid
Dylan Sampson
Denzel Ward
Deshaun Watson

Related Players: Quinshon Judkins, Harold Fannin

It should be another "rookie showcase" for Judkins and Fannin, but even with their heightened usages, they're not necessarily slam dunks in this offense. Consider them both as solid options due to volume.

Zac Taylor says Joseph Ossai and Kris Jenkins won't play, and Tee Higgins is questionable, still has one more hurddle to clear in concussion protocol

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Mike Gesicki, Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley

Gesicki was in a smash spot as a TE streamer last week and ended up putting up a TE50 dud. We would hope he has a better performance here if Higgins is a no-go, but there's no guarantee. Ja'Marr should be considered a high-end WR1 whether or not his teammate is on the field.

TE Mason Taylor, who will miss his second game in a row with a neck injury, is expected back next week, Glenn says.

Related Players: Jeremy Ruckert

Taylor has been on the cusp of fantasy relevance as a TE streamer, but his floor is very low. Ruckert doesn't need to be started in his steed.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters that WR Garrett Wilson, who has bad a knee injury, will not play again this season.

Related Players: Adonai Mitchell, John Metchie, Isaiah Williams

We look toward 2026 for basically the entire Jets offense. Mitchell can be considered a low-end WR3 for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.
