Duke Johnson To Miss Another Game

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (neck) has been officially ruled out for Week 16 against the Bengals. Johnson also missed last week and has fallen out of fantasy favor now that David Johnson is back as the team's lead back. C.J. Prosise should serve as Johnson's backup this Sunday, but he has very little […]

Tyler Boyd Ruled Out Against Texans

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Texans. Boyd suffered a concussion on Monday night against the Steelers and couldn't get cleared from the league's protocols in order to play this Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) will play in Week 16 against the division-rival Eagles, according to a source.

Nationals Not Ruling Out Ryan Zimmerman

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said that he's not ruling out a reunion with first baseman Ryan Zimmerman despite the fact that the team just traded for first baseman Josh Bell on Christmas Eve.

James Robinson Won't Play Against Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (ankle), who ranks third in rushing yards this year, missed the entire week of practice and will not play in Week 16 against the Bears, according to a source. The 22-year-old has been a revelation for the Jaguars and fantasy managers this year, but it looks like he […]

Royce Freeman Questionable For Week 16

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and will be questionable for Week 16 against the division-rival Chargers.

Dontrelle Inman Being Released

The Washington Football Team is releasing wide receiver Dontrelle Inman on Saturday in order to activate rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden off of Injured Reserve, according to a source.

Matthew Stafford Injured Saturday, Ruled Out

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (foot) has been downgraded to out after hobbling off early in Saturday's Week 16 game against the Buccaneers.

Korean shortstop Ha-seong Kim could have multiple long-term offers on the table from MLB teams, according to sources. The Kiwoom Heroes star has several offers in the five-plus-year range.

Dodgers Could Be Lurking For Trevor Bauer, DJ LeMahieu

The Los Angeles Dodgers could be in play for free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer and second baseman DJ LeMahieu.

Saints Claim Jake Kumerow Off Waivers

The New Orleans Saints claimed wide receiver Jake Kumerow off waivers from the Bills, according to a source. Kumerow caught just one pass in six games with Buffalo before being waived, but that one catch was a 22-yard touchdown in the Week 15 win over the Broncos. Kumerow is unlikely to become a fantasy relevant […]

Whitney Mercilus Placed On COVID-19 List

The Houston Texans placed outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It's unknown if Mercilus tested positive for the virus himself or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who did.
