Christian McCaffrey Injury Update
McCaffrey (knee) remained limited for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. The talented 26-year-old is still on track to play Thursday night, which bodes well for fantasy managers considering the star running back has totaled 185 rushing yards, 114 receiving yards, and three touchdowns over his last two games.
Rhamondre Stevenson Injury Update
Stevenson (ankle) exited Monday's game against the Cardinals, briefly returned, and then exited again. For now, it seems like the second-year back's Week 15 status is truly up in the air. He told the media that he hopes to play versus Las Vegas, but fantasy managers should wait for more clarity when the Patriots release their practice reports.
Kenneth Walker III Injury Update
Walker (ankle) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice. While it's unfortunate that he hasn't upgraded to full quite yet, he is certainly trending in the right direction and appears to have a shot at playing on Thursday night. Fantasy managers should certainly keep an eye out for his practice status on Wednesday.
Dameon Pierce Injury Update
Pierce (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. While there is no structural damage, the talented rookie is expected to miss one to two games. Houston also waived Eno Benjamin on Tuesday, so they'll task Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale with leading the backfield for the duration of Pierce's absence.
Jeff Wilson Jr. Injury Update
Wilson (hip) injured himself on Sunday Night Football and isn't trending in the right direction ahead of Week 15. The 27-year-old was a non-participant during Tuesday's walkthrough. Fantasy managers invested in his availability should continue to monitor his status ahead of Saturday's game versus Buffalo.
Khalil Herbert Injury Update
Herbert (hip) injured himself in Week 10 and has been sidelined ever since. However, the Bears expect him to practice next week with the potential for him to play in Chicago's final three games. Even if Herbert is healthy, he'll operate behind David Montgomery and Justin Fields in the rushing game, dropping him to the low-end RB3 tier.
DeeJay Dallas Injury Update
Dallas (ankle) didn't participate in practice on Tuesday. At this rate, it looks like he's on track to miss his second consecutive contest. On a positive note, the Seahawks could have Kenneth Walker back for Thursday Night Football against the 49ers.
Mike Boone Injury Update
Boone (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve for the second time in 2022. This time, his season is over. Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack will lead Denver's backfield the rest of the way.
Dontrell Hilliard Injury Update
Hilliard (neck) injured himself during a scary special teams play on Sunday. He was quickly ruled out of the contest, and while reports say he "is doing much better," the team indicated he won't play in Week 15 versus the Chargers.
