Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Courtland Sutton (hamstring) hopeful to return in Week 16
The Broncos and Nathaniel Hackett are hopeful for Courtland Sutton to be able to return to the field against the Rams in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
“We’re definitely hoping for Courtland … he’s potentially available this week,” Hackett said. Sutton has now missed the past two games for the Broncos due to a hamstring injury. He will be a mid-to-low-end WR2 if he can return. Jerry Jeudy has thrived the past couple of weeks with Sutton sidelined. He would likely move back to being a WR3 if Sutton returns.

Mike White (ribs) estimated as limited participant Monday
Mike White (ribs) was estimated as a limited participant if the Jets were to have practiced on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
White had to miss Week 15’s game due to an injury to his ribs, and he was also limited in practice on Monday because of that. New York has a short turnaround to the Thursday night game, and it’s already been reported that he’s trending towards not playing. Things could change in the coming days, but it looks like Zach Wilson may be set up to get another start in Week 16.

AJ Dillon evaluated for concussion on Monday night
Green Bay RB AJ Dillon left the field against the Rams on Monday night to be evaluated for a concussion.
Fantasy Impact
Dillon exited the game late in the second half and did not return. He was seen jogging to the locker room in an oriented-fashion despite the quick rule out. Dillon had been playing well prior to going down, rushing for a couple of touchdowns on the night. Expect more updates from the Packers’ coaching staff on his status in the next day or so.

Zonovan Knight (ankle) not on injury report Monday
Zonovan Knight (ankle) was not listed on New York’s first injury report of the week on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Knight injured his ankle during Sunday’s loss to the Lions, but it doesn’t seem to be that severe, as he is off the injury report and seemingly a full participant at practice. The Jets play the Jaguars on Thursday night this week, and he could be a solid streaming option if he is 100% healthy.
