Sunday morning injury updates

It's Week 14, eve of the playoffs in a lot of leagues. There are a few updates this morning.

  • Jacksonville won't have Parker Washington (hip), according to Ian Rapoport. Washington wasn't a desired option, but his absence will probably mean a couple extra targets for Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas. Not a seismic move in the rankings (Jaguars will be using a player in that spot, Dyami Brown most likely), but a plus.

  • Weather: it's 30 degrees and snowing in Buffalo, winds of 10-11 mph. That was factored into the rankings update on Friday.

  • Chris Olave (back) will play for the Saints, as expected.

  • More of a long-term deal, Adam Schefter is saying that Trey Benson may not be activated from IR this week (meaning he'd be out for the season). We've been expecting that since his apparent setback in practice last week, so not a shock, but Schefter's report more or less confirms it.

  • One more from Schefter, Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) "plans to try to play." Not particularly encouraging, and some risk in using him even if active. Great matchup with the Bengals, but seems like he'd be limited.

  • Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) is expected to play for Green Bay. I have no interest in Reed this week, but seems to be worth stashing, maybe somebody else gets hurt or the Roulette wheel lands on him in Green Bay's unpredictable receiving corps.

  • Mike Evans (shoulder) won't play today, but might play next week (Thursday night).

So, not a ton of updates. I will post in the comments below if I see anything significant in the next couple of hours.
