Darnell Washington TE | PIT
Steelers' Darnell Washington: Suffers broken arm Sunday
Coach Mike Tomlin said that Washington suffered a broken arm during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Browns, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, Tomlin said he didn't know if Washington will be out for the Steelers' regular-season finale against the Ravens, with the AFC North title on the line; however, it seems very likely that Washington will miss that contest, at a minimum. If so, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith would pace Pittsburgh's TE corps in his absence.

Dawson Knox TE | BUF
Bills' Dawson Knox: Listed as active vs. Eagles
Knox (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Knox was deemed a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before being listed as limited Friday and questionable for Sunday. With Dalton Kincaid (knee) inactive, Knox is in a position to lead Buffalo's Week 17 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes and Keleki Latu available to mix in. Knox thus represents a possible pivot option for those who would normally rely on Kincaid in their fantasy lineups.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Inactive Sunday
Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Kincaid was listed as a non-participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday before being deemed limited Friday and questionable to face Philadelphia. Now that he's been made inactive, Dawson Knox will have an opportunity to lead the Bills' Week 17 TE corps, with Jackson Hawes and Keleki Latu also in the mix. Kincaid will thus target a return to action in Week 18 versus the Jets.
