New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) logged his second straight full practice of the week. Olave has been on the injured reserve since suffering his second concussion of the season during Week 9. Olave returned to practice last week but was only a limited participant. However, seeing him open the week as a full participant in back-to-back sessions puts him in a good position to return to action on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during Friday's session, as he may be able to avoid an injury designation. Despite battling numerous injuries this season, Olave tallied at least 80.0 receiving yards in four of the eight games he played in. If he can suit up, he should be viewed as a decent flex option, given that he will be the lone proven pass-catching option in a depleted New Orleans offense.

Tennessee Titans WR Tyler Boyd (foot), PK Nick Folk (abdomen), S Amani Hooker (shoulder), RB Tony Pollard (ankle), OL Dillon Radunz (shoulder) and LB Otis Reese (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 26. Also, WR Colton Dowell (knee) and WR Bryce Oliver (knee) were limited and LB Luke Gifford (concussion) practiced in full.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (groin) did not take part in practice once again on Thursday, Dec. 26.

Fantasy Spin: At this point, it would make no sense for the Saints to bring Kamara back at the end of what is a lost season. At very least, it looks like he'll miss another game, which means more work for Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims and Jamaal Williams, none of whom are suggested lineup options in Week 17, especially if Spencer Rattler starts again.

Arizona Cardinals S Joey Blount (ribs) and CB Elijah Jones (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 26, and have been ruled out for Week 17. PK Matt Prater (knee) was limited during practice but has been ruled out. RB Trey Benson (ankle), OG Evan Brown (neck), LB Baron Browning (neck) and RB James Conner (knee) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. DE Darius Robinson (calf) was limited during practice but is not on the injury report. P Michael Palardy (illness), OT Kelvin Beachum (non-injury) and LB Mack Wilson (concussion) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

New Orleans Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) was a limited participant in practice once again on Thursday, Dec. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Valdes-Scantling turned in limited practices last week before being ruled out, so he remains up in the air. Even if he does play, Valdes-Scantling won't be a lineup option if Derek Carr doesn't play. If Carr does suit up, the veteran wideout would be a flex option after showing a good connection with the veteran signal-caller weeks back.

According to David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in case he cannot update to full participation on Friday. Tagovailoa has been dealing with this hip injury for a few weeks but has yet to miss any time due to it. After throwing for 300+ yards in each game during Weeks 12 through 14, Tagovailoa has struggled over his past two games, averaging just 205.5 yards per game. Given his current struggles, fantasy managers should consider finding an alternative option, especially during the fantasy championships. He has a tough matchup ahead of him on Sunday afternoon against the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs.

New York Jets WR Davante Adams (hip), CB Sauce Gardner (hamstring), OT Morgan Moses (knee) and OG Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 26. S Tony Adams (ankle), CB Michael Carter II (back), DE Braiden McGregor (ankle), DE Haason Reddick (neck), OG John Simpson (calf) and DT Quinnen Williams (hamstring) were limited during practice. QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) fully participated in practice.

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (hand), RB Alvin Kamara (groin), C Erik McCoy (elbow) and OG Lucas Patrick (knee) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 26. Also, TE Juwan Johnson (foot), DT Nathan Shepherd (eye), DE Payton Turner (ankle) and WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) were limited and WR Chris Olave (head) practiced in full.

From TheHuddle

New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr (hand) did not practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday, Dec. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Carr looks set to miss another game, which means another week of Spencer Rattler and a warning to stay as far away as possible from all Saints offensive players not named Alvin Kamara, who is uncertain to play.

From TheHuddle

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 26, and is listed as questionable for Week 17.

Fantasy Spin: Conner may be a game-time decision, so fantasy players should monitor the situation over the next few days. He is a starting option in all leagues if he is able to play, but players should have a backup plan ready in case he is ruled out.

From TheHuddle

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The lead back sustained the injury during last weekend's game against the Carolina Panthers. Conner remained a limited participant during practice, which is a promising sign. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status leading up to kickoff as No.2 running back Trey Benson (ankle) is also listed as questionable. Over his past three games, Conner has averaged an impressive 26.5 PPR points per game and found the end zone four times over this stretch. If Conner is active, fantasy managers should feel confident starting him in all formats as an RB2. If both Conner and Benson cannot play, Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas would operate in a committee and are viable flex options.

According to Turron Davenport of ESPN, Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk (abdomen) did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Folk did not suit up last weekend and is in danger of missing his second-straight contest. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status on Friday in case he is able to practice in some capacity. However, the 40-year-old will likely face an uphill battle to return to action this weekend. Across 14 games this season, Folk has posted an impressive 95.5% FG conversion rate and has gone a perfect 25-for-25 on extra points. Brayden Narveson will get the starting nod if Folk cannot play on Sunday. However, given the inconsistencies of the Tennessee offense, both kickers should not be in your starting lineup in the fantasy playoffs.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets WR Davante Adams (hip) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Adams has missed the first two practices of the week but still has a chance to play in Week 17 since he does not need much practice time to prepare. He should be a starting option in all leagues if he is cleared to play.

From TheHuddle

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, rest) was a limited participant in practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday, Dec. 26.

Fantasy Spin: The Dolphins have been managing Hill's practice reps for a while now, so there's no real concern here. What is a concern is Hill's continued lackluster production. He remains a WR2 play entering Week 17.

From TheHuddle

New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers has posted solid numbers during the second half of the season and has thrown at least two touchdowns in five of his last eight games. He is no longer a starting option in standard leagues but could be used in two-quarterback leagues.

From TheHuddle

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Broncos. Higgins remained a limited participant throughout the week but was unable to avoid an injury designation. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Saturday's tilt. Over the past three weeks, Higgins has found the end zone three times and averaged a strong 15.4 PPR points per game. He has seen 8.5 targets per game during this span and tallied 59.5 yards per contest. Despite battling numerous injuries throughout the season, Higgins has scored an impressive seven touchdowns across ten games. Fantasy managers should start him in all formats if he can play despite facing a tough Denver secondary that has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals DE Sam Hubbard (knee) and DT Sheldon Rankins (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 26, and have been ruled out for Week 17. TE Tanner Hudson (knee) did not practice and is listed as doubtful. DE Joseph Ossai (illness) and S Geno Stone (illness) did not practice and are listed as questionable. WR Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) and WR Charlie Jones (groin) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. OT Amarius Mims (ankle, hand) fully participated in practice but is listed as questionable. QB Joe Burrow (knee, wrist) was limited during practice but is not on the injury report. S Jordan Battle (hand) and OT Orlando Brown (leg) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Miami Dolphins OT Terron Armstead (knee), CB Kendall Fuller (knee), S Jordan Poyer (knee, finger) and LB Anthony Walker (knee) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 26. Also, WR Jaylen Waddle (knee), LB Jordyn Brooks (knee, quadriceps), WR Dee Eskridge (knee), WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, rest), CB Alec Ingold (ankle) and QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) were limited and WR Malik Washington (knee) practiced in full.

From TheHuddle

According to Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons, wide receiver Drake London (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. However, the top wideout noted that he expects to be ready for Sunday night's tilt against the Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers should monitor his status on Friday in case he faces a setback, but they should plan on starting him this weekend. Last weekend, with rookie Michael Penix Jr. under center, London saw eight targets but could only bring in five of them for 59 yards before exiting early with this hamstring injury. Over his past six contests, London has seen 9.5 targets per game and averaged 71.0 yards per game. He should be considered a solid WR2 in all formats facing the Commanders, who have allowed the 15th-most PPR points to opposing wide receivers this season.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku did not practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday, Dec. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku followed the same path last week before turning in a limited session on Friday and suiting up on Sunday, so he's definitely got a chance to play. Njoku was the only Browns pass-catcher to thrive with Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center, which keeps him in the TE1 conversation.
