Jalen Hurts - Expected to play Week 18Hurts (shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ImpactPer Rapoport, Hurts would've played in Week 17 if it had been a playoff game, but the Eagles opted exercise the utmost caution to avoid a potential setback with the star quarterback's injured shoulder. Philadelphia has missed back-to-back games without Hurts and will look to get back on track against the Giants before postseason play begins. Despite Rapoport's encouraging update, fantasy managers should still monitor Hurts' participation at practice during Week 18 prep before locking him into lineups.

Why Tom Brady is more watchable than ever
Nobody knows what's coming in what will be Tom Brady's 20th playoff tilt, with all outcomes on the table and all things possible. And that's...JANUARY 2, 2023
Wil Lutz - Nails 54-yarder in winLutz connected on 2-for-2 field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 point-after tries during Sunday's 20-10 victory over Philadelphia.
ImpactLutz split the uprights on a 54-yard attempt to put the Saints up 10-0 midway through the second quarter. This marked the 28-year-old's first attempt of 50 yards or more since Week 5, and he's now gone 4-for-5 on such attempts this season. Lutz will enter the final week of the 2022 campaign converting a career-low 79 percent of his 29 field-goal attempts, though he's been perfect on all 32 of his extra-point tries over 16 games.

Adam Trautman - First catch in four weeksTrautman caught their only target for 16 yards during Sunday's 20-10 victory versus Philadelphia.
ImpactTrautman logged his first reception and just his second target since the Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay. The 25-year-old tight end finished as one of five Saints players to haul in their lone target behind the team's clear-cut top receiving trio of Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave and fellow tight end Juwan Johnson. Trautman's primary role as a run-blocker has only been reinforced by Johnson's continued production in the passing game over the second half of the season. Barring injuries or a plan to rest starters with the playoffs now out of reach, expect the Saints to continue feeding the ball to receivers other than Trautman during next week's regular-season finale.
