Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Alexander Mattison (ankle) to work towards returning to practice
Alexander Mattison is expected to work towards returning to practice this week.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison was sidelined this past week in a game that Ty Chandler exploded in a feature role. Vikings’ coach Kevin O’Connell said Chandler “is absolutely a guy that is going to see a featured, featured role in our offense” so Mattison will be tough to trust if he does return.

Jets’ head coach Robert Saleh said Zach Wilson has been placed in concussion protocol.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson left Sunday’s game early with a head injury. He will have the next week to clear the protocols. Otherwise, it’ll be Trevor Siemian under center for the Jets against the Commanders.

Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) expected to return in Week 16
Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid said Isiah Pacheco is expected to return next week against the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
“He’ll be back this week,” Reid said. “He’ll be good to go this week, unless there’s further setbacks. But right now, everything’s positive for him to go.” Pacheco should return to his lead role in the Kansas City backfield after being sidelined the past couple of weeks.

Zack Moss (shoulder) hopeful to play Week 16
Zack Moss (shoulder) is hopeful to play in Week 16 vs the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
X-rays were negative after Moss injured his shoulder vs the Steelers, but it looks like the injury isn’t too serious. He is not guaranteed to play in Week 16 as the Colts will see how he progresses throughout the week, but it is still a good sign to see he has a chance to get back out there without missing a game.
