NFL stories to inform your fantasy FINAL decisions … in two minutes or less.

🚨 Rams Likely to Sit Davante Adams in Week 17

Big news (but not surprising) out of Los Angeles: Davante Adams didn’t practice again and is trending toward sitting this week. The Rams already have a playoff spot locked up, and with Adams still dealing with that lingering hamstring issue, there’s little incentive to push him. Even if he somehow suits up, this feels like a risky spot where his workload could be managed. For fantasy managers, it’s probably safer to plan like he’s out.

🚦 Patriots Backfield Gets a Green Light

Good news out of New England as TreVeyon Henderson is officially cleared and ready to go for Week 17. He passed concussion protocol and is expected to suit up against the Jets with no restrictions. The Patriots are still leaning on a committee with Rhamondre Stevenson, but Henderson’s explosiveness keeps him firmly in the fantasy conversation. For championship week, he’s the kind of upside swing that can quietly tilt a matchup if he pops on limited touches.

⚜ Chris Olave Looks Set to Go for the Title Push

Saints wideout Chris Olave is trending in the right direction after traveling with the team and lining up to play in Week 17. He popped up late in the week with a back issue, but all signs point to him being active against the Titans. Coming off a massive 10-catch, 148-yard, two-touchdown performance, Olave looks locked in as a high-end fantasy option when it matters most. If you’re playing for a championship, this is the kind of green light you want to see.

💪 Drake London Trending Toward a Go in Championship Week

Drake London is officially listed as questionable, but the signs are pointing toward him suiting up on Monday night against the Rams. He returned last week after missing time and logged a healthy snap share, which is a great signal heading into Week 17. While the knee issue is still something to monitor, fantasy managers can reasonably plan on having him available for lineups—especially with so many teams needing every possible edge in the finals.

⚠️ Maxx Crosby Shut Down as Raiders Shift Focus

Not great vibes in Vegas right now. The Raiders have officially shut down Maxx Crosby, and all signs point to his season being over. He’s battled through pain all year, but with nothing left to play for, the team is protecting its cornerstone. From a fantasy angle, it’s another sign that this defense may not bring the same edge the rest of the way.

✅ A.J. Brown Cleared and Ready for Week 17

Good news for championship week… A.J. Brown practiced in full and doesn’t carry an injury designation. After some early-week concern, he looks set to roll as usual. In a slate full of uncertainty, Brown stands out as one of the safer high-end wide receiver plays you can trust.

So that’s the news. Keep your eyes on the updates as we head into NFL Sunday… as promised, in 2 minutes or less.
