Kadarius Toney Doesn't Practice On Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) missed practice again on Thursday, making it seem highly unlikely that the rookie will play on Sunday.

Kirk Cousins - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins enters his Week 17 matchup against the division-rival Green Bay Packers ranked as the QB8 on the season.
