Atlanta Falcons CB Mike Hughes (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Jan. 1, and in a corresponding move, DE Khalid Kareem was signed to the 53-man roster.

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand, non-injury), RB Omarion Hampton (ankle), CB Nikko Reed (hamstring) and OG Jamaree Salyer (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Jan. 1. S Derwin James (non-injury), LB Khalil Mack (non-injury), CB Elijah Molden (hamstring), C Bradley Bozeman (concussion), WR Derius Davis (ankle), RB Hassan Haskins (concussion), S R.J. Mickens (shoulder), CB Benjamin St-Juste (shoulder) and LB Tuli Tuipulotu (non-injury) were limited participants, and RB Kimani Vidal (neck) and WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) were full participants.

From TheHuddle

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (non-injury) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Allen was back on the practice field after his usual day off to start the week, but it remains to be seen if he will see any action in the finale. The Chargers are opting to rest Justin Herbert, so Allen and other starters could also sit out Week 18.

Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum (ankle), OG Kevin Dotson (ankle) and CB Josh Wallace (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1. WR Davante Adams (hamstring), DE Braden Fiske (ankle), OT Alaric Jackson (knee), S Jaylen McCollough (hip), LB Omar Speights (ankle) and RB Kyren Williams (ankle) were limited during practice. WR Xavier Smith (chest), TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) and S Quentin Lake (elbow) fully participated in practice.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (illness), OG Trey Smith (ankle), WR Xavier Worthy (illness) and LS James Winchester (illness) did not practice Thursday, Jan. 1. DE George Karlaftis (non-injury), RB Isiah Pacheco (non-injury) and OT Jaylon Moore (knee) were limited participants, and TE Jake Briningstool (hamstring), CB Kristian Fulton (knee, wrist) and DT Derrick Nnadi (illness) practiced in full.

From TheHuddle

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Adams is making progress in his recovery but is still probably unlikely to play since the team will be playing next week in the Wild Card Round. Fantasy players can monitor the situation but will probably need other options to use in their lineups.

From TheHuddle

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (illness) did not practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Hunt has now missed a pair of practices due to illness, and with the little to play for in the season finale, the Chiefs may just decide to rest Hunt. If he plays, he is a low-end, touchdown-dependent flex option.

From TheHuddle

Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Higbee was cleared to return to practice this week, so it may be too early for him to return to the lineup. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation over the next few days to see if he is added to the 53-man roster before the game. He will see a few targets once he returns but can be avoided in most leagues.

Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (shoulder), RB Aaron Jones (hip) and WR Myles Price (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1. OT Brian O'Neill (heel) was limited during practice. LB Blake Cashman (elbow), RB Jordan Mason (ankle), QB J.J. McCarthy (hand), DT Levi Drake Rodriguez (rib) and TE Gavin Bartholomew (back) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal (neck) upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday. Vidal started the week with a limited showing in practice on Wednesday. A full session on Thursday suggests that he's ready to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday in Denver against the division-rival Broncos. Meanwhile, rookie Omarion Hampton (ankle) has yet to practice this week, and Hassan Haskins has been limited as he works his way through the NFL's concussion protocol. L.A.'s backfield is in flux entering the weekend, but if Hampton is held out, Vidal figures to be the team's lead back in Week 18. The 24-year-old would receive a volume boost, but expectations would need to be tempered in an offense led by backup quarterback Trey Lance against a stout Denver defense. Fantasy managers need to check back on Friday for more clarity on this backfield.

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. (groin), TE David Njoku (knee, non-injury) and LB Carson Schwesinger (quadriceps, ankle) did not practice Thursday, Jan. 1. DE Myles Garrett (hip), DT Michael Hall Jr. (knee), OG Teven Jenkins (concussion), C Kingsley Eguakun (knee, shoulder), OG Joel Bitonio (wrist), S Grant Delpit (Achilles), CB Myles Harden (shoulder), DT Shelby Harris (toe) and LB Winston Reid (back) were limited participants, and RB Dylan Sampson (hand), QB Shedeur Sanders (back, finger), TE Brenden Bates (shoulder), CB Tyson Campbell (shoulder), QB Dillon Gabriel (shoulder), DT Mason Graham (rib) and OT KT Leveston (shoulder) fully participated.

New Orleans Saints DT Bryan Bresee (knee), CB Michael Davis (shoulder), RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee), TE Zaire Mitchell-Paden (knee), WR Chris Olave (illness), QB Spencer Rattler (finger), DT Nathan Shepherd (ankle, knee), TE Jack Stoll (knee), WR Mason Tipton (groin) and DT Davon Godchaux (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1. OG Dillon Radunz (knee) and LB Demario Davis (calf) were limited during practice. OG Cesar Ruiz (ankle) and QB Tyler Shough (hip) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hip) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Jones' availability for Week 18 is uncertain at this point since he has not practice at this point this week. He is usually at least a flex option when healthy, but fantasy players may need other options ready in case he is ruled out.

From TheHuddle

Los Angeles Chargers rookie first-round running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Hampton spent time on Injured Reserve earlier this year after fracturing his ankle. The 22-year-old hasn't had a setback that we know of, so this could just be the Chargers being cautious as they look to get their players healthy going into the playoffs next week. The Chargers already announced that they will sit quarterback Justin Herbert for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Denver Broncos, and Hampton could join him on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Kimani Vidal (neck) upgraded to a full practice on Thursday. The Bolts' backfield is in flux, to say the least, with Hassan Haskins working his way through the concussion protocol. Check back on Friday, but all signs are pointing to Hampton being held out in Week 18.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: It seems like Kamara will miss another game unless he makes significant progress in the next day or two. Audric Estime probably will see a majority of the work in the running game if Kamara is ruled out and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

From TheHuddle

Atlanta Falcons CB Mike Hughes (ankle), CB Clark Phillips III (illness, triceps) and DT Brandon Dorlus (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1. WR Drake London (knee), WR Darnell Mooney (knee), TE Kyle Pitts (knee), S DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring) and DT Sam Roberts (ankle, knee) were limited during the session.

From TheHuddle

Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (illness) and LB Kyle Van Noy (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1. WR DeAndre Hopkins (non-injury) and LB Roquan Smith (hamstring) were limited during practice. DT Taven Bryan (knee), QB Lamar Jackson (back), TE Charlie Kolar (nose), FB Patrick Ricard (ankle), OT Ronnie Stanley (knee) and OG Andrew Vorhees (foot) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders WR Tyler Lockett (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Lockett was added to the injury report during the week but seems to be dealing with a minor injury. He will likely see a few targets in the passing game this week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Las Vegas Raiders DT Adam Butler (biceps), RB Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee), OG Dylan Parham (illness) and QB Geno Smith (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 1. WR Jack Bech (back) and WR Tyler Lockett (shoulder) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Baltimore Ravens WR DeAndre Hopkins (non-injury) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Hopkins should be available for the Week 18 game but has not seen many targets over the last few weeks even though head coach John Harbaugh said he wanted Hopkins more involved. He may see a few targets if he plays but can be avoided in leagues.
