Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) misses another practice on Thursday
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) did not participate in Thursday’s practice.
Fantasy Impact
Stevenson seems unlikely to play this week, though Damien Harris could return. If Harris is back, the RB situation could be messy for fantasy managers, as Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris could also be involved.
Scott Youngson
Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) questionable for Saturday
Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) is questionable to play in Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson injured his hip in last Sunday’s loss to the Chargers, and that injury will threaten his status for Saturday. He’s listed as questionable to play, and the team will likely make a decision about his availability closer to game time. If he doesn’t play, Raheem Mostert will likely be the top guy in Miami’s backfield against a stout Buffalo run defense.

Treylon Burks (concussion) doesn’t practice Thursday
Treylon Burks (concussion) did not participate in Tennessee’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Burks is still in the league’s concussion protocols after taking a hard hit last week. He wasn’t able to practice on Thursday, and he has yet to log a practice session at all this week. His status for Sunday is getting more pessimistic by the day, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine would likely be in line for more work if the rookie is out on Sunday.

Tyler Lockett suffers broken bone in index finger
Tyler Lockett broke a bone in his index finger on Thursday against the 49ers and is likely to miss time.
Fantasy Impact
Lockett caught seven passes for 68 yards in the game against San Francisco. Lockett said he believes he can make it back in two weeks, so it sounds like he will at least miss Week 16. In his absence, Marquise Goodwin should fill-in and DK Metcalf could also take on a few more targets.
