Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Chris Olave (hamstring) returns to practice Wednesday
Chris Olave was seen at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Olave did not practice all of last week before he was ruled out, so even a limited practice on Wednesday puts him in line to have a chance to return this week. He will be a risky low-end WR2/high-end WR3 given the inconsistency of Andy Dalton if Olave does return this week.

Jalen Hurts (shoulder) misses practice Wednesday
Jalen Hurts did not practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Hurts said earlier in the week he is going to “push to play” this week. He will have two more days on Thursday and Friday to return to practice. Otherwise, it’ll be another week of Gardner Minshew starting on Sunday against the Saints.

Derrick Henry (hip) listed as doubtful for Week 17
Derrick Henry has been listed as doubtful for Thursday’s game against the Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
What a brutal break for fantasy managers with Henry in the fantasy championship. Henry was the only Titans running back to see a carry last week. It is Hassan Haskins on paper in line to lead the Titans backfield, but he is extremely risky to rely on this week.

Tony Pollard (thigh) listed as questionable for Week 17
Tony Pollard has been listed as questionable for Thursday’s game against the Titans.
Fantasy Impact
Pollard missed practice all week, but he will still travel with the Cowboys in hopes of playing. He will likely be a game-time decision. Ezekiel Elliott is an RB1 play if Pollard is sidelined.
