Miami Dolphins running backs Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) and Myles Gaskin (illness) are both listed as questionable to play on Christmas Day on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.

Ezekiel Elliott Hoping To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott may not have the fantasy upside of backfield mate Tony Pollard, but Elliott has nine rushing touchdowns in the last seven games for his fantasy managers. Scoring for an eighth straight game will be a tall task against a tough Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 16 on Saturday, but […]

Kendall Hinton To Miss Another Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Christmas Day game this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Hinton hasn't played since injuring his hamstring in Week 14, but he still has a chance to return for two meaningless games in Weeks 17 and 18 for the Broncos. The 25-year-old […]

Courtland Sutton, Latavius Murray Questionable For Week 16

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and running back Latavius Murray (foot) are both listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16.

Rob Gronkowski Considered Comeback With Bucs

Free-agent tight end Rob Gronkowski said he was "bored" and contacted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last month about a possible return.

Matt Ryan Unlikely To Play Again This Year

The Athletic's Zak Keefer writes that it's unlikely Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will play again this year after being benched for Nick Foles in Week 16 for the Monday night matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Ryan has gone from the team's unquestioned starter, to being benched, then back to being the starter, and […]

Jets Non-Committal On Zach Wilson

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh wouldn't answer if quarterback Zach Wilson would start in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks if Mike White (ribs) is unable to play. If White isn't ready to play, the Jets other options are veteran Joe Flacco and practice-squad quarterback Chris Streveler, who replaced the struggling Wilson in […]

Aaron Donald Ruled Out, Likely Done For The Year

The Los Angeles Rams ruled out defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle) for the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Royals Sign Mike Mayers To Minor-League Deal

The Kansas City Royals signed free-agent right-hander Mike Mayers to a minor-league deal on Thursday.

Giancarlo Stanton To Play The Outfield "In Spurts"

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that he sees Giancarlo Stanton playing the outfield "in spurts" next season. Boone prefers to use Stanton in right field at Yankee Stadium on days when Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter. Stanton could also play left field in other ballparks. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger has mostly […]

Padres, Marlins Interested In Johnny Cueto

The San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins are among the teams looking at free-agent starting pitcher Johnny Cueto, who pitched very well for the Chicago White Sox in 2022.

Wilmer Difo Agrees With Yankees

The New York Yankees and free-agent infielder Wilmer Difo agreed to a split contract on Friday that will pay him $1.2 million if he's in the majors in 2023, according to a source. The 30-year-old will receive a non-roster invite to major-league spring training. He'll be hoping to earn a roster spot on Opening Day […]

Braves Acquire Lewin Diaz From The Orioles

The Atlanta Braves acquired first baseman Lewin Diaz from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations. Diaz was designated for assignment by the Miami Marlins in November and has been passed around by the Pittsburgh Pirates and Orioles this offseason.

The San Francisco Giants and free-agent left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal, pending a physical, on Friday, according to a source.

The San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year, $36 million deal with free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto on Friday.

Instead, the Giants sign the last marquee free agent […]

Tyler Conklin Catches Four Passes In Loss To Jaguars

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught all four of his targets for 34 yards in the Thursday night loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. All things considered, it was a decent game for Conklin in rainy and windy conditions in New York on Thursday night. Quarterback Zach Wilson was also benched in the second […]

Noah Fant, Marquise Goodwin Expected To Play

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (ankle, wrist), who are both listed as questionable for Week 16, are expected to play on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Cardinals, Kliff Kingsbury Headed For A Breakup?

There is a very real possibility that Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who has a 28-34-1 record as a head coach in the NFL without a playoff win, will be fired by owner Michael Bidwell. However, multiple team sources see a path where Bidwell gives Kingsbury another year. Kingsbury's relationships with Bidwell, general manager […]

Dawuane Smoot Feared To Have Torn His Achilles

Jacksonville Jaguars standout defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot (Achilles) is feared to have torn his Achilles in the Thursday night win over the New York Jets, according to a source.

Browns Give Jack Conklin A Four-Year Extension

The Cleveland Browns and right tackle Jack Conklin agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract extension on Friday that includes $31 million fully guaranteed, according to his agents.

The Green Bay Packers and star offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $68 million in base value with a maximum value of $74 million on Friday, according to sources.

Taysom Hill Could Be Heavily Utilized Against Browns

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill could end up playing more than Andy Dalton in the Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday if the weather is as bad as its forecasted to be. It's expected to be extremely cold with high winds, which will make it difficult for both teams to […]

T.Y. Hilton To Be Active Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will be active in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. "He should impact us immediately.

Mets, Joey Lucchesi Avoid Aribtration

The New York Mets and left-hander Joey Lucchesi avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.15 million deal, according to a source. It's the exact same salary he made in 2022 while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Lucchesi went on a minor-league rehab assignment in September but didn't pitch at all in […]

Broncos Defense A Top-Five Unit For Week 16

The Denver Broncos defense was solid for fantasy managers in their Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals when they held them to 15 points and intercepted three passes. On Christmas Day against the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, they'll get another great matchup against a Baker Mayfield-led offense that is extremely banged up on […]

Brandon McManus An Unexciting Streamer Against Rams

Even though the Los Angeles Rams defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game (8.4) to kickers this year, Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus will have a low ceiling and low floor in the Christmas Day game between these two clubs on Sunday. The 31-year-old will be kicking indoors in Los Angeles this weekend, […]

Greg Dulcich Has More Upside With Russell Wilson Back

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Greg Dulcich really suffered with quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion) sidelined in last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals, as he caught just one of his two targets from backup Brett Rypien for a season-low-tying 11 yards. It was actually the third time in Dulcich's first nine NFL games that he's […]

Jerry Jeudy Could Have More Competition For Targets

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has seen 17 targets in the last two games, catching 15 of them for 149 yards and three touchdowns. All three of his touchdowns came in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs in the first of two games that teammate Courtland Sutton (hamstring) has missed due to injury. […]

Marlon Mack Only Playable If Latavius Murray Sits

Denver Broncos running back Marlon Mack has scored in back-to-back weeks now after previously not finding the end zone since 2019 with the Indianapolis Colts. However, unless lead back Latavius Murray (foot) is limited or unable to play entirely on Christmas Day against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16, Mack won't have standalone fantasy […]

Russell Wilson Back To Being A QB2 In Week 16

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion) is no longer on the team's injury report and will play in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams on the road on Christmas Day this Sunday.
