Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) misses practice Wednesday
Rhamondre Stevenson missed practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Stevenson suffered the injury on Monday against the Cardinals. He seems unlikely to play on Sunday at this point in time, but he has a chance if he can practice by Friday.

Najee Harris (hip) misses practice Wednesday
Najee Harris did not practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Harris was on the injury report last week with an oblique injury, so this is seemingly a new injury. Harris also missed practice on Wednesday last week though before returning to practice on Thursday.

Brock Purdy (oblique) questionable for Thursday
Brock Purdy (oblique) is questionable to play in Thursday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
Purdy injured his oblique in Sunday’s blowout win over the 49ers, and it will leave him questionable to play on Thursday. It’s not considered a severe injury, but it could be enough to knock him out on the short week. If that’s the case, Josh Johnson would likely be the 49ers’ starting quarterback, which would be bad for the fantasy value of San Francisco pass-catchers.

Kenneth Walker III (ankle) doesn’t have injury designation for Thursday
Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is not listed on Seattle’s injury report for Week 15 and is expected to play on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Walker had to miss Week 14’s loss to the Panthers due to an ankle injury, but he is no longer listed on the injury report and should be good to go for Thursday night. He draws a tough matchup against a stellar 49ers defense, so fantasy managers may have to temper expectations for the rookie in his return.
