They're all talented players, and Pickens […]

Are Saquon Barkley, Geno Smith, Tony Pollard Hurt? Fantasy Football Injury Updates (Week 16)

We're headed into Week 16, which is the second round of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues, the championship in some, and the first round in yet others.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end T.J. Watt (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He went to the medical tent and eventually had to exit the game due to his injury.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) suffered a knee injury against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. It was serious enough that he exited the contest and was not able to return.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is dealing with a knee issue after a defender fell on his lower leg during a tackle in Week 15. He was pulled from the game and wasn't able to return after taking just 38% of the team's offensive snaps and failing to catch both of his targets. […]

Is Alvin Kamara Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) is dealing with a groin injury that he suffered in Week 15.

Is Nick Chubb Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot) has been through a lot these past two seasons. After suffering a devastating injury early in 2023 that caused him to miss just about all of the season, Chubb returned to a faltering Browns team that was losing far more games than it was winning. His play didn't […]

Is Patrick Mahomes Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is dealing with an ankle issue he acquired in his team's Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) continues to deal with injuries heading into Week 16. He wasn't able to suit up for his team's Week 14 and 15 contests and given how tricky hamstring problems are to deal with, it's worth questioning if he'll be able to play again on Saturday. Pickens had played […]

Is Diontae Johnson Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been un-startable, and un-rosterable since the Carolina Panthers traded him to his new team. There are a few reasons for this, but chiefly they revolve around character issues, which Johnson is ignominiously known for.  He was seen as a diva with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which shouldn't be a […]

Is Sincere McCormick Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick (ankle) looked like a legitimate starting option in a lot of fantasy football leagues heading into Week 15.

Is Dallas Goedert Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is dealing with a knee injury that's now sidelined him for two games.

He has effectively […]

Should I Pickup Alexander Mattison or Ameer Abdullah? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

After suffering an injury, Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick (ankle) will miss the rest of the season.

[…]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) was previously expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury he suffered in a preseason game, but he may now be returning for this season after all.

When Is Aidan O'Connell Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 16 (2024)

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) probably could have gotten his team over the hump and earned them a victory in their Week 15 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Instead, he had to watch from the sidelines as backup QB Desmond Ridder failed to get much offense going at all. The team came close […]

When Is George Pickens Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 16 (2024)

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) has shown his value to his team nearly as much being off the field as he has by being on it. The Steelers offense had no answers for the stingy defense of the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, as they lost, 13-27. It tied for the lowest point […]

When Is Will Dissly Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 16 (2024)

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was catapulted to fringe fantasy relevance by the absolute lack of other pass-catching weapons on the Chargers offense this season. Unfortunately, he's dealing with a shoulder injury that he picked up in Week 14. He wasn't able to play at all the subsequent week.  Now, his Week […]

Is Derek Carr Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (hand, concussion) is dealing with fractures in his non-throwing hand and a concussion at this time.

Is Evan Engram Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) missed his team's Week 15 game due to a shoulder injury.

Is Kenneth Walker III Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) has now missed two consecutive games in Weeks 14-15 with a calf injury. While he hasn't explicitly been ruled out for the season, fantasy managers only care about the next three weeks specifically, and most only care about the next two.  This is because the majority of […]

Are Patrick Mahomes, Alvin Kamara, Jaylen Waddle Hurt? Fantasy Football Injury Updates (Week 16)

We're on to the second round of the fantasy football playoffs, and now more than ever, it's crucial to stay updated on injury situations.

Should I Pickup Romeo Doubs or Jalen McMillan? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

It's never too late in the season for receivers to break out. Or for them to have anomalistically good production that's bound to regress. Or for them to break out a second time and for this breakout to be real. Or they could have a game that's not necessarily an outlier in terms of usage […]

Should I Pickup Craig Reynolds or Sione Vaki? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (knee) unfortunately suffered an MCL injury in his team's Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. His season is now over.

Brenton Strange (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange caught 11 of his 12 targets for 73 yards in the Jags' loss to the New York Jets in Week 15. Such high volume warrants an addition in PPR leagues. While he didn't make any big plays […]

Sincere McCormick Produces Little, Then Exits Contest With Injury

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick (ankle) carried the ball seven times for eight rushing yards and caught two passes for 17 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15 before having his leg trapped under a defender's tackle and awkwardly bending enough to cause an injury. He was initially said to be questionable, […]
