Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas looked like a decent streaming play this week after impressing with Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) at quarterback in Week 16.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed (chest, toe) is off the final Week 17 injury report and will play on Sunday night versus the division-rival Minnesota Vikings.
