Carolina Panthers WR Ted Ginn Jr. (knee) missed practice for the second straight day Thursday, Dec. 31.

Chicago Bears TE Zach Miller (toe) and WR Eddie Royal (illness) both missed practice Thursday, Dec. 31.

Free-agent QB Pat Devlin (Browns) re-signed with the Cleveland Browns Thursday, Dec. 31.

Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte (back) was limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 31.

Footballguys View: Forte should be able to go, though he’ll split carries with Jeremy Langford. With Forte’s back hurting, we think Langford will get more of the carries and have Langford as an RB2 while sits at RB3 value.

Buffalo Bills DT Kyle Williams’ (knee) job is safe as long as he recovers from a season-ending left knee injury he suffered on Oct. 18. Williams is scheduled to make $12.3 million in base salary over the final two years of his deal.

New York Jets OT Breno Giacomini (ankle) said he plans to play in Week 17 against the Buffalo Bills despite not having practiced yet this week.

Denver Broncos TE Owen Daniels (rest) is receiving a veteran’s rest day during practice Thursday, Dec. 31.

Footballguys View: Daniels isn’t terribly productive in fantasy (or on the field) and is no more than a borderline TE2/TE3 against San Diego this weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles PK Caleb Sturgis (hamstring) practiced in full for the second straight day Thursday, Dec. 31.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Seyi Ajirotutu (ankle), DT Bennie Logan (calf) and CB Byron Maxwell (shoulder) did not practice Thursday, Dec. 31. CB Jaylen Watkins (shin) was limited, while OT Dennis Kelly (ankle) practiced in full.

New York Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (thumb, elbow, back) is practicing fully Thursday, Dec. 31.

Footballguys View: Fitzpatrick has been on a tear lately and we think he’s going to have a big day. Start him as a QB1 and feel confident he will produce.
