Cardinals | Marvin Harrison may be available Tue Dec 30, 10:23 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (foot) suffered a foot injury during the Week 17 game but will be active for the Week 18 game if he is medically cleared to play, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
| Footballguys view: Harrison has been dealing with a heel issue in recent weeks, which caused him to miss multiple games. He was questionable entering this past Sunday but played on a limited snap count, appearing in just 19 plays throughout the course of the game. When asked about Harrison playing against Los Angeles in Week 18, Gannon said: "If he's healthy enough to play, he'll play." The Cardinals will begin practice on Wednesday, so that's when we'll get our first official injury report for Week 18 -- though it feels like a good possibility Harrison might not be healthy enough to make it to Sunday. |
Colts | Riley Leonard to start finale Tue Dec 30, 10:01 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Riley Leonard will start in Week 18 against the Houston Texans.
| Footballguys view: The move to Leonard ends Philip Rivers' run as a starter after coming out of a five-year retirement. Coach Shane Steichen, one of Rivers' closest friends, coaxed Rivers out of retirement because of his intimate knowledge of the offense and leadership capacity. But with the Colts eliminated from playoff contention last weekend, the team had to weigh whether it made sense to continue starting the 44-year-old Rivers. Asked about the prospect of Leonard starting on Sunday, Steichen said, "It will be good for his development." It will be less good for the fantasy outcomes of his supporting cast this week. |

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson ran the ball 22 times for 195 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. Robinson added a team-high five receptions (on eight targets) for 34 yards and a score.
| Footballguys view: A 93-yard touchdown added to another sensational night for Robinson, who had the Rams spinning to the tune of 229 scrimmage yards -- his second 200-plus scrimmage-yard outing on Monday Night Football this year. In Week 6, Robinson had a then-career-long 81-yard TD run as part of a 238-yard night against the Bills. Only Robinson and Jerry Rice have had back-to-back games with 200-plus scrimmage yards in Monday Night Football history. He's averaged 180.4 scrimmage yards per prime-time game this year. The resulting 39.9 fantasy points were second only to Derrick Henry's 45.5 in Week 17. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert will not be in Week 18 lineup Mon Dec 29, 04:38 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) will not start the Week 18 game, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: With the Chargers locked into a playoff spot and playing for nothing but seeding in their regular-season finale against the Broncos, Herbert will not take the field. His surgically-repaired left hand hasn't been a huge issue, but it's wise to give the QB a week off heading into the postseason. Trey Lance will get the start. It's also worth noting that Harbaugh said other starters with "the most bruises" and need "the most healing" won't play. We'll be watching for more on that, while reminding you that RB Kimani Vidal sat out last week with a neck injury. |

Commanders | Marcus Mariota unlikely for finale Mon Dec 29, 03:40 PM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) seems like a long shot to play in Week 18 but has not been ruled out at this point, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Josh Johnson, who started against the Cowboys, is likely to make another start against the Eagles this week. It's a tough matchup under normal circumstances, but the Eagles have yet to decide their approach with a playoff bye and homefield advantage no longer possible for them. The Eagles will be either the No. 2 seed or the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs. Their approach could make a difference for the Commanders' outlook in this one. We'll follow up on that -- and on Mariota -- as needed. |

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson not ruled out Mon Dec 29, 03:19 PM
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) has not been ruled out of the Week 18 game at this time, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: To be clear, Schottenheimer said if players are healthy, they will play Sunday. It remains to be seen if Ferguson will be healthy enough to hit the field against the Giants. Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford are next men up at the position if Ferguson isn't available. We'll monitor this one throughout the week. |
Cowboys | Javonte Williams may be available Mon Dec 29, 03:13 PM
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (shoulder) has not been ruled out of the Week 18 game at this time, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: Williams was able to max out all of his contract incentives for the year in Week 17, but he couldn't finish the game due to his nagging shoulder injury. By keeping him sidelined for the Week 18 finale against the Giants, Williams will be a free agent after the season, so getting a longer look at Malik Davis, who recorded 103 yards on Christmas Day, might be wise, especially after rookies Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah failed to make an impact. We'll be watching for more. |

Cowboys | Dak Prescott set to play Mon Dec 29, 02:58 PM
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will play in the Week 18 game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys enter Week 18 with nothing to play for but pride and NFL draft position. Still, Prescott has been adamant that he wants to finish out the season on the field. On Monday, Schottenheimer made it clear that the plan for Prescott is unchanged. Although the coach did not completely close the door on backup quarterback Joe Milton III suiting up against the Giants, Prescott will get the start. Entering the finale, Prescott leads the league in passing and has an opportunity to finish as the league's passing yards leader for the first time in his professional career. |
