Evan Hull's Usage Difficult to Trust as Waiver Addition

New Orleans running back Evan Hull was a trending name heading into the Saints' Week 15 matchup with the Panthers, and with Devin Neal (hamstring) exiting the team's upset win with a hamstring issue, his name will likely pop up again this week.

Fantasy managers should no longer be ignoring Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson. The 26-year-old has been a bigger part of L.A.'s high-scoring offense ever since Tyler Higbee (ankle) landed on Injured Reserve, and he's not slowing down.

According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) was hampered by multiple injuries during Sunday's 37-24 win over the visiting Tennessee Titans.
