Eagles QB Jalen Hurts in concussion protocol after injury against Commanders

Sun Dec 22 1:56pm ET
Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts left the game against the Washington Commanders in the first quarter and was being evaluated for a concussion.

Hurts was injured by a tackle from Washington's Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner at the end of an 11-yard run to the Washington 21. He later briefly appeared about to return but is now in the locker room.

Back-up Kenny Pickett came on and completed the drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown.

The Eagles, 12-2, are in pursuit of the top seed in the NFC, alongside the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, who are likewise 12-2.

Bender's Starts/Sits: Week 16

Player Notes
Brian Robinson Jr. Dec 22 4:00pm CT
Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied only 24 yards on 10 attempts during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught two of his three targets for 17 yards. While Robinson dominated the work in the backfield, he was not given as many attempts as he usually sees with the Commanders trailing throughout the afternoon. This caused quarterback Jayden Daniels to attempt a hefty 39 passing attempts. His 24 rushing yards was his lowest total in a single game this season. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Robinson heading into Week 17, as the No. 2 option behind him, Jeremy McNichols, logged only two rushing attempts. The Alabama product will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Falcons, who have allowed the 10th-fewest PPR points to the position this season.

James Conner Dec 22 4:00pm CT
James Conner

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) didn't return to Sunday's overtime loss to the Panthers. The veteran had another fantastic showing, amassing 117 yards and a touchdown off 15 carries. He also had four catches for 49 yards. Conner likely would have been more productive in Week 16. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury and didn't return. The 29-year-old will likely undergo testing in the coming days. However, the Cardinals can't make the playoffs, so the team may not put him out there against the Rams in Week 17. If that's the case, Michael Carter, who had 18 yards off five attempts, will presumably remain the No. 1 option out of the backfield.

Terry McLaurin Dec 22 4:00pm CT
Terry McLaurin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin extended his scoring streak to four games on Sunday afternoon. Facing the Eagles, McLaurin brought in five of his six targets for 60 yards and a score. McLaurin found the back of the end zone on a 32-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. McLaurin finished the afternoon with the second-most yards and targets, in which he trailed Olamide Zaccheaus in both statistics. Over his past four contests, McLaurin has tallied six touchdowns while tallying at least 70 receiving yards in all but one game. The 29-year-old should be set up well for another productive showing next weekend against the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Anders Carlson Dec 22 4:00pm CT
Anders Carlson

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson made one of his two field goals and missed his lone extra-point try in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Carlson struggled with his accuracy in the close loss to LA, missing on a 49-yard attempt and also misfiring after the Jets' lone touchdown of the contest. Carlson has now hit 13 of his 15 field goals while appearing in games for the Jets and the San Francisco 49ers this season. He will take on the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 17.

Matthew Stafford

The New York Jets defense allowed 19 points while picking up one interception in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. The Jets turned in a solid effort against LA as they held the Rams to just six points through the first three quarters. They were led by Tony Adams, who intercepted Matthew Stafford in the contest. New York will have a tough matchup ahead of them as they will head on the road to take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 17.

Jayden Daniels Dec 22 3:50pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 24-for-39 with 258 yards and five scores during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Daniels added 81 yards on the ground on nine attempts. He also threw two interceptions. In the first half, Daniels and the Commanders had trouble finding much consistency but were able to score 14 points. Daniels found Jamison Crowder on a six-yard TD strike and Terry McLaurin on a 32-yard pass. However, Daniels put the team on his back in the fourth quarter as he led the Commanders to a victory by putting 22 points on the board. In this quarter, Daniels found Olamide Zaccheaus twice, once from four yards out, and the other from 49 yards out. Then, the LSU product would go one to throw his fifth TD pass of the afternoon in the final seconds to clinch the victory. He found Crowder for the second time from nine yards out. This was his first five-touchdown performance of his career and he was able to do it against one of the league's top defensive units. Daniels remains a must-start QB1 heading into a Week 17 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tyler Conklin Dec 22 3:50pm CT
Tyler Conklin

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught five of his seven targets for 59 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Conklin surprisingly finished second on the Jets in receiving yards, just nine behind leader Davante Adams in the low-scoring loss. The veteran tight end has shown a nice floor in PPR leagues of late, catching 12 passes on 17 targets over his past three games. While he only has two touchdowns on the season, Conklin may be worth a look as a deep-league streaming option against the Buffalo Bills if desperate in Week 17.

Davante Adams Dec 22 3:40pm CT
Davante Adams

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of his 13 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Adams extended his touchdown streak to four straight games with an 11-yard grab in the first quarter. Unfortunately for the Jets that would be the only touchdown they would score in the low-scoring loss to LA. Adams has been on fire of late with double-digit targets in six of his seven contests while scoring six touchdowns over that span. He will be a no-brainer WR1 in fantasy heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Garrett Wilson Dec 22 3:40pm CT
Garrett Wilson

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of his seven targets for 54 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. As has been the case for much of the past month, Wilson was outproduced by Davante Adams. While not a disastrous fantasy performance, Wilson was held to 60 yards or fewer for the third straight game and fourth time over his past five contests. He has turned in just one 100-yard receiving performance since Adams was acquired in a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders back on October 15. Wilson is shaping up as a low-end WR2 heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Bills.

Breece Hall Dec 22 3:30pm CT
Breece Hall

New York Jets running back Breece Hall carried the ball 14 times for 52 yards and caught five of his six targets for 38 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Hall led the way on the ground for the Jets as Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis combined to see just six touches in the low-scoring loss. The veteran running back has been playing through a knee issue over the past few weeks but the Jets appear comfortable enough with it that they have continued to use Hall as their lead back over the past two weeks. Hall is looking like an RB2 in fantasy heading into Week 17's road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Aaron Rodgers Dec 22 3:10pm CT
Aaron Rodgers

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 28 of his 42 passes for 256 yards and one touchdown while losing a fumble and rushing for six yards on one carry in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. It was a rough day for the Jets offense as they managed just one touchdown against a weak LA defensive unit. Rodgers' lone touchdown pass went to Davante Adams on an 11-yard completion in the first quarter. Rodgers' lost fumble proved to be a costly one as he lost the ball on a Kam Curl sack at New York's 21-yard line in the fourth quarter, leading to a Rams touchdown pass three plays later. Rodgers will look to bounce back against the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 17.

Isaiah Oliver Dec 22 2:50pm CT
Isaiah Oliver

According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) and safety Tony Adams (ankle) are questionable to return to Sunday's game. Adams tallied an interception before leaving while Gardner tallied two tackles. Fantasy managers should expect Brandin Echols and Isaiah Oliver to have an increased role for the remainder of the game.

Tua Tagovailoa Dec 22 2:40pm CT
Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Armstead suffered this injury during their Week 14 victory against the Jets and was unable to play last weekend in Houston. Armstead will bring a much-needed boost to this offensive unit that struggled last weekend. While this will help Tua Tagovailoa, fantasy managers show view him as a risky low-end QB1 as he will be without his No.2 wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee).

James Conner Dec 22 2:40pm CT
James Conner

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game with a knee injury. Conner sustained this injury in the third quarter. Before exiting, Conner was enjoying a nice game as he tallied 117 yards and a score on 15 attempts. He also caught all four of his targets for 49 yards. DeeJay Dallas and Michael Carter should handle most of the rushing work while Conner remains sidelined. Dallas has already found the end zone today on a one-yard reception.

Drake London Dec 22 2:40pm CT
Drake London

According to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game. The top wideout left in the fourth quarter. Before exiting, London caught five of his eight targets for 58 yards. His yardage total was the second-most on the team, behind Darnell Mooney. Fantasy managers should expect Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III to see most of the targets for the remainder of the afternoon.

Jaylen Waddle Dec 22 2:30pm CT
Jaylen Waddle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Waddle sustained this knee injury during last weekend's loss to the Houston Texans. The Alabama product was unable to practice all week and will set his sights on returning in Week 17 to face the Cleveland Browns. Fantasy managers should expect Tyreek Hill to see an increased target share while Malik Washington will move up to the No.2 spot. Washington is worth a look as a high-upside play in DFS on the late slate.

Tyreek Hill Dec 22 2:30pm CT
Tyreek Hill

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Hill opened the week as a non-participant in practice but was able to finish the week in a limited capacity. With Jaylen Waddle (knee) inactive, fantasy managers should view Hill as a WR1 in all formats as he should see a substantial target share this afternoon. He should be locked into all lineups and is a solid play in DFS formats.

Dorian Williams Dec 22 2:20pm CT
Dorian Williams

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (biceps, groin) is inactive for Sunday's divisional tilt against the New England Patriots. Milano suffered a groin injury during last weekend's victory in Detroit. Milano made his season debut in Week 13 due to a bicep strain that kept him out during the first 12 games of the season. Across his first three games of the season, Milano averaged 3.7 tackles per game with one fumble recovery. Fantasy managers should expect Dorian Williams to have an increased role this afternoon.

Nick Bosa Dec 22 2:20pm CT
Nick Bosa

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles, knee) and defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) are both active for Sunday's match against the Miami Dolphins. Both defenders were limited throughout the week but are able to suit up. Greenlaw made his season debut last Thursday and was very involved with eight tackles. Bosa returned from his three-game absence on Thursday evening and tallied four tackles. Fantasy managers should expect both defenders to see their typical workload this afternoon.

From RotoBaller

Kyle Dugger Dec 22 2:10pm CT
Kyle Dugger

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) is active, while safety Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Buffalo Bills. Dugger opened the week as a non-participant but was able to log two limited sessions to conclude the week. Peppers popped up on the injury report on Friday and will set his sights on returning in Week 17. Dugger should be expected to operate in his typical starting role, while Dell Pettus will likely take over Peppers' role at free safety. The Patriots defense should not be viewed as a streaming option facing a potent Buffalo offense.
