Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Hunter Henry (knee) considered day-to-day
Hunter Henry is considered day-to-day after leaving Saturday’s game early against the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact
Rapoport reported that Henry “has a chance” to play this upcoming week against the Dolphins. He departed this past game in the first drive. Regardless of if he plays or not, it doesn’t mean too much for fantasy managers.

Jalen Hurts (shoulder) to ‘push to play’ in Week 17
Jalen Hurts is expected to “push to play” against the Saints in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
The Eagles hold a one game lead over the Vikings for the No. 1 seed in the NFC with two weeks to go. With the way Gardner Minshew played against the Cowboys, the Eagles may feel they have a good chance to beat New Orleans with Minshew undercenter. That is if Hurts still isn’t healthy enough to return. This will be a situation to monitor throughout next week for Hurts managers in the fantasy championship.

Mike White (ribs) cleared, will start in Week 17
Mike White has been cleared cleared by the doctors on Monday and will start on Sunday against the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
The Jets will get White back undercenter as they’re still alive in the wildcard race in the AFC. His return will benefit the entire Jets offense including Garrett Wilson and Zonovan Knight. Corey Davis also becomes a potential WR3/flex play. White will be worthy of consideration as a streamer himself as well.

Christian Watson (hip) considered day-to-day
Christian Watson is reportedly considered day-to-day after leaving Sunday’s game early.
Fantasy Impact
Watson had caught six passes in the first half before leaving and not returning. He has a very favorable matchup this week if he is healthy against the Vikings secondary. If he is sidelined, Allen Lazard figures to receive the biggest boost in value as a potential WR3/flex play.
