Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after an illness kept him sidelined on Wednesday. Rarely ever on the field, he has seen an uptick in his snap share in recent weeks but still has a season-high of 34% that came in Week 16. With Jonathan Mingo (foot) now on injured reserve, Smith-Marsette may see more work in Week 18 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have given up the most pass yards this season, but in Week 13 still were able to hold quarterback Bryce Young to just 178 yards through the air. Smith-Marsette does not need to be anywhere near fantasy rosters in Week 18.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (illness) did not participate in practice on Wednesday as his team began preparing to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. Smith-Marsette is dealing with an illness but will still have two more days of practice to get back on the field ahead of Sunday's game. If available on Sunday, the speedy wideout could see a larger role than usual with Jonathan Mingo (foot) placed on injured reserve earlier in the week.
Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary rushed for 80 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional six yards through the air. It's safe to say that Singletary has emerged as the Texans' best running back this season and has positioned himself quite well to earn a starting job during free agency. Until then, he'll remain the preferred backfield option in Houston, ranking as an RB2 in fantasy football with a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on tap.
