Chris Ogbonnaya - RB - Browns

According to ESPN, Willis McGahee (concussion) seems "very doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Bears.

McGahee's likely absence leaves Chris Ogbonnaya as a potential starter against a Bears defense that has surrendered 100-yard rushing days to six consecutive opponents (Eddie lacy, Reggie Bush, Ray Rice, Benny Cunningham, Adrian Peterson and DeMarco Murray). Ogbonnaya isn't the runner that those guys are, but he's averaging 5.33 YPC on 42 carries this season and is a big part of the passing game (41 catches on the season). He'll get the Bears on a short week and at home. Owners in search of plug-n-play RB2 candidates could do much worse than gambling on Ogbonnaya.

Vincent Jackson - WR - Buccaneers

Vincent Jackson (hamstring) was not spotted at the beginning of Bucs practice Wednesday.

Jackson also rested last Wednesday and was slapped with a questionable tag on Friday before playing on 59-of-68 snaps against the Bills. We'd expect a similar routine this week, although the Bucs have a difficult matchup with the 49ers. V-Jax will be a WR2.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

Coach Chuck Pagano said T.Y. Hilton is still fighting a minor shoulder injury.

Hilton's shoulder got dinged up in Week 12, causing him to rest during some practice sessions. We don't think it's affected him terribly in games. Hilton's arrow is pointing back up this week thanks to Da'Rick Rogers/LaVon Brazill taking some attention away and a home matchup with the Texans on tap. Last time Hilton faced Houston, he went off for seven catches, 121 yards and three touchdowns.

Robert Griffin III - QB - Redskins

A Redskins player says that "prevention of franchise quarterback getting hurt" was the explanation given in a team meeting regarding Robert Griffin III's benching.

Coach Mike Shanahan allowed Griffin to play in snowy conditions on an awful field against the Chiefs' elite defense last week. This week, RG3 will be inactive when the Redskins play at Atlanta's dome. No matter how Shanny tries to rationalize it, his decision to sit Griffin out reeks of personal vendettas and a desire to be fired. He's scheduled to explain himself to the media later this afternoon.

Marshawn Lynch - RB - Seahawks

Marshawn Lynch's court date on his DUI case will likely be postponed until after the Super Bowl.

Lynch is planning on taking the case all the way to trial, as his lawyer is citing "some discrepancies" in the matter and a "very low blood-alcohol DUI." He runs the risk of an NFL suspension if convicted, but it's not going to happen this year. Although the arrest went down on July 14, 2012, the case has been repeatedly pushed back.

Aaron Dobson - WR - Patriots

Aaron Dobson (foot) is still not practicing.

The Patriots haven't revealed the specifics of Dobson's injury, but he hasn't practiced since going down in Week 12. It would be a major surprise if he was able to play against the Dolphins Sunday. That leaves either Kenbrell Thompkins (questionable, hip) or Josh Boyce to man the "X" spot.

Brandon Weeden - QB - Browns

Brandon Weeden (concussion) has been cleared to practice.

Weeden is on track to resume his role as Jason Campbell's backup.

Willis McGahee - RB - Browns

Willis McGahee (concussion) will not practice Wednesday.

The Browns running back situation is normally a fantasy black hole, but there's intrigue this week because they have a home game against the Bears. Chicago has given up at least 100 yards rushing to opposing running backs in six straight games. McGahee was sent home from the facility Wednesday, suggesting that he's not on track to get cleared in time for Sunday. Chris Ogbonnaya is in line to draw the start, with Fozzy Whittaker and newly signed Edwin Baker in supporting roles. Ogbonnaya would have some desperation RB2 appeal, especially in PPR formats.
