6:53 p.m. ET - Chris Johnson breaks loose for a long run but is tackled inside the 5-yard line.

6:30 p.m. ET - Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates hook up for a touchdown. 

6:26 p.m. ET - Marshawn Lynch walks in for a short touchdown. 

6:25 p.m. ET - Seven carries for just 12 yards in Chris Johnson's return to Nashville. 

6:15 p.m. ET - Peyton Manning might not be 100 percent, but it didn't prevent him from throwing a touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas. It's Manning first touchdown pass in 10 quarters (incredibly). 

6:06 p.m. ET - Eric Decker's long touchdown is called back upon review. He stepped out. 

6:03 p.m. ET - Frank Gore is ruled out with a concussion. 

6:01 p.m. ET - Eric Decker rips off a long catch-and-run down the sideline. 81 yards. Touchdown. 

5:56 p.m. ET - Keenan Allen is carted from the sideline to the locker room. It looks like his day is done. 

5:50 p.m. ET - Peyton Manning looks ready to re-enter the game. 

5:45 p.m. ET - Calvin Johnson finishes the first half with four yards on three targets. 

5:41 p.m. ET - Frank Gore is being evaluated for a head injury. 

5:33 p.m. ET - Peyton Manning's injury is announced as a thigh injury. He's probable to return.

5:30 p.m. ET - Matthew Stafford and Golden Tate hook up for a touchdown. 

5:22 p.m. ET - There are reports that Peyton Manning is getting treated for dehydration. Brock Osweiler is in the game.

5:16 p.m. ET - Peyton Manning just walked to the locker room. He's reportedly battling flu-like symptoms. 

5:15 p.m. ET - Calvin Johnson doesn't have a catch. 

5:12 p.m. ET - Emmanuel Sanders is tackled at the 1-yard line, setting up a C.J. Anderson touchdown. Anderson should have lost yardage, but made a great move in the backfield. 

5:09 p.m. ET - Frank Gore bowls over a defender to score a 10-yard touchdown. The 49ers are showing some life against the stout Seahawks defense. 

5:04 p.m. ET - C.J. Anderson takes a big hit to the head. He's down on the field. 

5:00 p.m. ET - Matt Asiata scores a short touchdown. Does he have another three-touchdown game in him? Don't count it out! He scores in spurts. 

4:52 p.m. ET - Keenan Allen limps off after getting twisted up on a catch. 

4:40 p.m. ET - Julius Thomas makes a long catch. Hey, he's actually playing this week!

4:21 p.m. ET - C.J. Anderson is off to a hot start. Early in the first quarter, he has seven carries for 37 yards. 

4:14 p.m. ET - Aaron Rodgers fumbles the ball into his own end zone. The Packers are going to lose. Rodgers will finish with 185 yards passing and two interceptions - and no touchdowns. Not many Rodgers owners will be advancing. 

4:08 p.m. ET - Le'Veon Bell finishes with 119 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. What a roll he's on. 

3:58 p.m. ET - Johnny Manziel finishes the game with 0.50 fantasy points in standard leagues. Yuck. 

3:55 p.m. ET - Julius Thomas is active, but Virgil Green is expected to start at tight end. Thomas was active last week but didn't play a snap. 

3:49 p.m. ET - And now Beckham is in for his third touchdown. He's so ridiculous.

3:47 p.m. ET - Odell Beckham Jr. is up to 10 catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets. He's the future. 

3:39 p.m. ET - Another interception for Aaron Rodgers. 

3:30 p.m. ET - Jordy Nelson flat-out drops what would have been a 94-yard touchdown. It's just not the Packers' day. 

3:29 p.m. ET - Knile Davis rips off a 70-yard touchdown reception. He's way outproducing Jamaal Charles on the day. Who saw that coming?

3:24 p.m. ET - Aaron Rodgers is picked off. Barring a major turnaround, Rodgers' owners won't be going to the fantasy finals. 

3:23 p.m. ET - Tom Brady to Julian Edelman for a touchdown. The Patriots are working on a blowout. 

3:19 p.m. ET - Travis Kelce touchdown! He'll be a player to watch next year. He looks so much like Rob Gronkowski on the field. 

3:17 p.m. ET - Odell Beckham Jr. turns on the jets and leaves the defense in his wake on a 35-yard touchdown catch.

3:16 p.m. ET - Le'Veon Bell scampers in for a 13-yard touchdown. 

3:15 p.m. ET - Gronk spike!

3:14 p.m. ET - Punt number six is coming for the Packers. Aaron Rodgers and company can't get anything going.

3:11 p.m. ET - Knile Davis vultures a short touchdown from Jamaal Charles. 

3:04 p.m. ET - Jonas Gray is out of Bill Belichick's doghouse! It probably isn't helping any fantasy owners, but Gray is up to four carries for 23 yards. 

3:02 p.m. ET - Joe Flacco finds Owen Daniels wide open in the end zone for a short touchdown. Somehow, Daniels is still fantasy-relevant.

3:00 p.m. ET - Jonathan Stewart fumbles away a goal-line carry. 

2:52 p.m. ET - LeGarrette Blount punches in a goal-line carry. Reminder: the Patriots signed him off the street in the middle of the season. 

2:49 p.m. ET - Gronk is on the board with a long catch. 

2:40 p.m. ET - As expected, Julius Thomas is active. 

2:33 p.m. ET - Derek Carr is back in the game. 

2:26 p.m. ET - Rob Gronkowski didn't have a catch in the first half. 

2:23 p.m. ET - Johnny Manziel throws his second interception of the half. He doesn't look ready to be a starting quarterback. 

2:20 p.m. ET - Derek Carr is hurt. Matt Schaub is warming up. That's great news for the Chiefs D/ST.

2:18 p.m. ET - Antonio Brown makes an insane catch to set the Steelers up on the 1-yard line. Le'Veon Bell punches it in. 

2:14 p.m. ET - Johnny Manziel is 2-of-6 passing for just one yard. One yard. His debut as starter isn't going great. 

2:11 p.m. ET - Andrew Luck and Dwayne Allen hook up for a short touchdown. The Colts have the chance to run up the score on the Ryan Fitzpatrick-less Texans. 

2:10 p.m. ET - Aaron Rodgers is now 4-of-13 for 30 yards. The Bills are shutting him down. 

1:54 p.m. ET - Ryan Fitzpatrick suffers an apparent leg injury. That could be very bad news for DeAndre Hopkins' owners. 

1:52 p.m. ET - Eddie Lacy punches in a one-yard touchdown after Randall Cobb sets the Packers up at the goal line. 

1:45 p.m. ET - Jeremy Hill scores his second touchdown of the day. He's over 90 yards already and out-touching Giovani Bernard 13-4.

1:42 p.m. ET - Aaron Rodgers starts the game 2-for-11 passing. Will he be the stud quarterback who posts a dud this week? Last week, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees were those guys. 

1:32 p.m. ET - Colt McCoy is out hurt and Robert Griffin III is in the game for the Redskins. That isn't necessarily fantasy-relevant, but it's something to watch if you like looking at train wrecks. 

1:31 p.m. ET - Andrew Luck throws a pick-six to the Texans D/ST.

1:29 p.m. ET - Odell Beckham Jr. scores a 10-yard touchdown. 

1:27 p.m. ET - Le'Veon Bell takes a short catch for a 44-yard gain. He's already over 70 yards from scrimmage.

1:23 p.m. ET - Mike Evans makes a ridiculous contested touchdown catch. It's the rookie's 11th touchdown of the season. He's so, so good. 

1:22 p.m. ET - Tom Brady just threw an interception at home. That doesn't happen often.

1:20 p.m. ET - Johnny Manziel is in the game. We're about to find out what he means for Josh Gordon's fantasy value. 

1:14 p.m. ET - Jeremy Hill scores the first offensive touchdown of the day. He and Giovani Bernard split carries on the drive, but it was Hill who got the goal-line carry. 

1:10 p.m. ET - Ravens D/ST scores the day's second touchdown on a blocked kick. Special teams!

1:06 p.m. ET - Patriots D/ST scores the day's first touchdown on a blocked kick.

12:58 p.m. ET - Here we go! Good luck, everyone.

12:50 p.m. ET - 10-minute warning! Send last-minute sit/start questions to @davidpwoods on Twitter.

12:30 p.m. ET - Half-hour warning! Set those lineups!

12:15 p.m. ET - Keep those questions coming on Twitter. 

11:40 a.m. ET - I know you have sit/start questions this week, so let's get an early start on the Q&A. Hit me up on Twitter @davidpwoods until 1 p.m. Also, let me know about what you liked or didn't like about Fantasy Pulse this season.

11:39 a.m. ET - DeSean Jackson is active. All Redskins players are risky considering how bad that team looks right now. 

11:36 a.m. ET - Ryan Mathews is highly doubtful to play. Donald Brown and Branden Oliver are both high-risk options as FLEX starters. 

11:36 a.m. ET - Torrey Smith is active, but he remains a very risky start. He's playing hurt. 

11:35 a.m. ET - Andre Johnson is inactive. Look for DeAndre Hopkins to have a huge day. 

11:32 a.m. ET - Eddie Lacy is active, but his snap count is expected to be limited. James Starks could make a decent FLEX starter. 

11:31 a.m. ET - Julio Jones is inactive with a hip injury. Boost Roddy White's value. Harry Douglas deserves starting consideration, too. 

11:30 a.m. ET - Welcome to the final Sunday edition of Fantasy Pulse of the season. Let's kick this off, as always, with the key inactives you need to set your lineups for this crucial semifinals week.
