Sunday morning injury updates

McCoy, Lee active; Rapoport say AB to be healthy

Bills-Jaguars kicks off in about 90 minutes. LeSean McCoy (ankle) is officially active, and so is Marqise Lee (ankle). But maybe even bigger news is the possibility that those who gambled on Antonio Brown in leagues where playoff rosters locked yesterday will be rewarded with a healthy player.

Brown missed the last two games of the season with a calf injury, but Ian Rapoport says he'll be 100 percent when the Steelers take the field against the Jaguars or Titans (if Buffalo wins) next weekend. At the risk of being a skeptic, I'm going to take a wait and see approach, but it's better than Rapoport getting nothing from his sources. This at least indicates it's possible that AB will be fine and his usual self. He could tear up Tennessee's secondary if the Bills happen to win today. He also caught 10 balls for 157 yards when Pittsburgh lost to Jacksonville earlier this season.

With McCoy, there wasn't much doubt he'd be active. The question is how healthy or effective he'll be. I don't particularly want to use him in any daily leagues (but I don't really want to use other Bills either). Charles Clay; that's the player I'm using in a couple of PPR lineups.

With Lee, he's facing a defense that was a lot better against the pass than the run in the regular season. And it allowed only 14 TD passes; 8 to wide receivers. Jacksonville should emphasize the run. But Lee still looks like the best bet among the team's various wideouts.
