Vikings WR Adam Thielen (back) ruled questionable for NFC Championship

Jan 19, 2018

While Thielen was listed as questionable, there doesn't seem to be any indication of him missing this weekend's Conference Championship matchup versus the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

Vikings WRs have a fantastic matchup this week, as the Eagles rank 23rd in aFPA to the position. We have Thielen ranked as a top-three WR across the board, so feel confident starting him this week if he's active.

Cardinals Beat: Teams may be figuring out how to defend QB Kyler Murray

ESPN

6 minutes ago

During the past four games -- in which the Cardinals have gone 1-3 and nearly 0-4 were it not for a Hail Mary against the Bills -- teams have figured out how to defend the dynamic Kyler Murray using a combination of containment, blitzing and leaping defensive linemen. Coach Kliff Kingsbury has taken issue with the phrase "figuring out," and Murray says it's not an issue.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said teams are keying on Murray on almost all the run plays. According to the story, Murray has averaged 65.2 rushing yards during six Arizona victories. In losses, it's down to 51.8. He ran for 15 yards two weeks ago in a loss to the Seahawks, in which he injured his right throwing shoulder in the first quarter, and 31 against the Patriots.

Raven RBs J.K. Dobbins, Mark Ingram can play Wednesday

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram will now be eligible for Wednesday’s game against the Steelers.

Related players: Gus Edwards, Lamar Jackson, Robert Griffin III

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins and Ingram's 10-day isolation period after positive COVID-19 tests will be over on Wednesday, Pelissero said. Baltimore will still be down a dozen players, including Jackson so it will be a tough task against the Steelers. Dobbins will eat into Edwards' fantasy workload but without Jackson at QB, it could be a heavy dose of the run game with all three Raven RBs.

Texans WR Will Fuller announces he's been suspended

yesterday · 6:09 PM EST

Texans receiver Will Fuller announced via Instagram Monday that he's been suspended six games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Related players: Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, Kenny Stills, Keke Coutee

Fantasy Impact:

It's a huge blow to the Texan offense and a hit to QB Deshaun Waton's fantasy value. Fuller had 53 receptions for 879 yards for an average of 16.58 per catch. Fuller had eight touchdowns for the year. From Sept. 27 through Nov. 8, Fuller had a touchdown catch in each game, a streak of six. The story added Fuller, who's a pending free agent at the conclusion of this season, will miss Houston's five remaining games and the 2021 season opener, regardless of whether he stays put or signs with a different franchise. Cooks, Cobb, Stills and Coutee will move up a spot on the depth chart. Cobb is currently dealing with a toe injury.
