We run down all the notable injuries in Week 16 that could impact your fantasy football team.

It’s a pretty thin injury report on championship Sunday in terms of fantasy relevance, but there are some notable names. Rex Burkhead is out with a knee injury, while DeSean Jackson and Marqise Lee are both out with ankle injuries.
There are zero players listed as doubtful, and not a ton of relevant players are questionable.
The most intriguing name is New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas. he was added to the injury report on Saturday with a hamstring injury. The Saints play at 1:00 p.m. so you will know quickly if he is playing. Other questionable wide receivers of note include Kelvin Benjamin, Chris Hogan, Emmanuel Sanders, and Devin Funchess.
At running back, Kerwynn Williams has quad and rib injuries, James White is battling an ankle issue, and Samaje Perine is also questionable.
Other than that, it should (hopefully) be smooth sailing in your championship game.
