Drake London WR | ATL
Falcons' Drake London: Playing through knee issue
London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London has attained clearance to play in the season finale after he was listed as questionable heading into Sunday following a trio of limited practices during the week. Though the Atlanta coaching staff hasn't specifically mentioned that London will be on a restricted snap count Sunday, fantasy managers should be cognizant that the star wideout could be more of a playing-time risk than usual since the 7-9 Falcons are eliminated from playoff contention and have little at stake in the season finale. Like London, wideout Darnell Mooney (knee) and tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) were also listed as questionable following Friday's practice but will be available to play in some capacity.

Giants' Ryan Miller: Not playing Sunday
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 matchup versus Dallas, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants claimed Miller off waivers from Tampa Bay on Dec. 11, but they won't end up deploying him for any game action. The third-year wideout will finish the campaign having played in 13 contests (all with the Buccaneers), tallying two catches on four targets for 34 yards and a touchdown. Of Miller's 14 career NFL catches, three have gone for a score.

Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: Cleared to play Week 18
Orhorhoro (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Orhorhoro was a late addition to Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but the second-year pro has shown enough during pregame warmups to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. He has accumulated 24 tackles (12 solo), including 3.4 sacks, and one pass defense across 16 regular-season games.

Josh Jacobs RB | GB
Packers' Josh Jacobs: Healthy scratch Sunday
Jacobs (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Jacobs was limited in practice during the entirety of Week 18 prep due to lingering knee and ankle injuries, but Green Bay didn't tag him with a designation on Friday's practice report. Despite technically being well enough to play, the team will rest him with the playoffs in mind. In Jacobs' stead, Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks will man the Packers backfield Sunday. Meanwhile, Jacobs' next chance for game action is poised to occur in the wild-card round next weekend.

Hooker will end the 2025 regular season with 81 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and eight pass defenses across 16 regular-season games.
