Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) has cleared the league's protocol and will be available for the Week 18 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer will be the No. 1 wideout for this offense with Keenan Allen (heel) ruled out for this game. On paper, Palmer could be an interesting DFS option with the Chiefs likely resting most of their starters. However, Easton Stick will be under center for the Chargers, which doesn't bode well for their offense. Palmer has produced nine receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown in two games with Stick as the starter. Possibly, the two of them team up to have a good performance to close out the regular season.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has had a roller coaster of a season. He saw just one score in the first six weeks and then managed nine touchdowns in the five weeks following that span. He also scored three more times in the last three weeks, but since the Ravens have the top seed locked up in the AFC, he's likely to get some rest in their Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It hasn't been officially reported that he's going to miss the game, so he could still suit up and play for a little bit. He's better off left on the fantasy bench, though, because these rivalry games in the AFC North are usually grueling, smashmouth contests that take a toll on everyone.

The Atlanta Falcons have listed quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) as questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday in New Orleans against the Saints. Head coach Arthur Smith will put Heinicke through a workout prior to Sunday's game before deciding whether he'll be active. Heinicke injured his left ankle in the Week 17 loss to the Chicago Bears but was able to put in limited practices this week. If the 30-year-old doesn't feel good during pre-game workouts on Sunday, the Falcons will roll with Desmond Ridder in the regular season finale. Whoever starts under center for the Falcons will be a low-cost, low-upside DFS play at the QB position in a tough matchup on the road against the Saints defense.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) was once again a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This now back-to-back days that Heinicke was been limited during practice. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider Heinicke as questionable for Week 18 against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran signal-caller was horrendous last week. Heinicke threw three interceptions before being pulled out of the game. Desmond Ridder didn't do any better under center, so the Falcons don't have a good option for Sunday. Regardless of who starts, neither quarterback is worth a look in DFS contests or any fantasy championships.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day as he attempts to return from a concussion and play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer suffered a concussion in Week 16 and missed the Week 17 loss to the Denver Broncos, but he's making progress this week and could be cleared from the concussion protocol in time to play this Sunday. If the 24-year-old does return, he could be LA's top target for quarterback Easton Stick in the final game of the season. In Weeks 15 and 16, Palmer had nine catches for 160 yards and a touchdown with Keenan Allen (heel) out. Allen has yet to practice this week and seems unlikely to return in a meaningless game. If active, Palmer could be a sneaky DFS play this weekend.
