Mike Williams Injury Update

Mike Williams suffered a back injury last week in a meaningless game against the Denver Broncos. There was optimism from the coaching staff that the 28-year-old would be able to go this weekend, but after missing practice all week, he was officially ruled out for Saturday's game against Jacksonville on Friday.

Further testing revealed a small fracture in Willaims' back, all but confirming he will be out unless the Chargers make it to the Super Bowl. It is a massive blow for the LA offense, but his absence will make Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, and Joshua Palmer better options in DFS lineups.

Isaiah McKenzie Injury Update

Isaiah McKenzie suffered a hamstring injury during this past Wednesday's practice. The 27-year-old slot receiver has not found his way back to the practice field since and was officially labeled as questionable for Sunday's game against Miami on Friday.

Buffalo calling up veteran slot receiver Cole Beasley from the practice squad is telling. It does not seem that the seventh-year receiver has a real shot to suit up Sunday, leading to increase usage for Beasley and Khalil Shakir. Neither are rock-solid options for those playing DFS this weekend, but Shakir does offer high upside due to his explosiveness.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Injury Update

Cedrick Wilson Jr. missed the final week of the regular season due to a hip injury. The 27-year-old returned to practice in a limited fashion this past week and was a full participant on Friday. He is officially labeled as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Wilson Jr. did not do much this season as the No. 3 receiver for Miami and has lost the majority of his reps to Trent Sherfield. However, his absence would be a negative for the special team unit. Sherfield is the wide receiver to target if you are looking for a cheap option to throw into your DFS lineups this weekend.

Jamal Agnew Injury Update

Jamal Agnew popped up on Wednesday's injury report, listed with a shoulder injury. The 27-year-old practiced all week on a limited basis and was officially labeled as questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday.

Agnew has been a core special teamer this season and has rotated into the lineup minimally as the No. 3 wide receiver. While he has a good shot to suit up, Agnew will not be a recommended fantasy option for those playing DFS over the weekend, but his presence would be a positive for the special teams unit.

Tylan Wallace Injury Update

Tylan Wallace suffered a hamstring injury and was held out of practice this past week. The 23-year-old was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday.

Ravens declare three players out for Sunday's playoff game against Bengals: QB Lamar Jackson (knee), WR Tylan Wallace (hamstring) and CB Brandon Stephens (illness).
Tyler Huntley (wrist/shoulder) is questionable, but he practiced in full today so he should be good to go.

Wallace was a core special teamer that saw limited reps with the starting offense to spell wide receiver James Proche II. The Ravens' offense remains devoid of pass-catching talent, with the only viable options for those playing DFS this weekend being Demarcus Robinson and Mark Andrews.
