David Montgomery, Khalil Herbert Out Sick

Chicago Bears running backs David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert both missed practice on Thursday due to non-COVID-19-related illnesses. It's something to watch with Chicago's backfield, but Montgomery and Herbert should both be available on Monday if they can get back on the practice field either Friday or Saturday. Montgomery had only 10 carries for 42 […]

Adam Thielen Still Not Practicing

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) missed practice on Thursday. Thielen is dealing with a high ankle sprain and could very well miss another game this Monday against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike Zimmer said that he's hopeful that Thielen will be able to play to close out Week 15 action, but fantasy […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Making Progress

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after he was held out on Wednesday. Humphrey was inactive in the Week 14 win over the New York Jets, but his limited practice on Thursday gives him a chance to return this Sunday against the Tampa […]

Sammy Watkins Practices In Full Thursday

After being limited in Wednesday's practice, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) was able to practice in full on Thursday. It means that, barring a Friday setback, he should be active in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers. Already not much of a fantasy option as the No. 3 receiver behind Marquise Brown […]

Travis Homer On Track To Play Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer (hamstring) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. Homer has been out two of the last three games due to injury, but he's been a full-go this week and should be available this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Alex Collins is now on the […]

DK Metcalf Missing Again Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (back, foot), Freddie Swain (ankle, personal) and Dee Eskridge (foot) all missed practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Metcalf has been resting his injured foot early in the week since Week 4, but his back injury is new, and fantasy managers should now be worried […]

George Kittle Gets Back On The Practice Field

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) was back on the practice field on Thursday, getting in a limited session. It comes on the heels of a DNP on Wednesday in which the Niners were likely just resting their start tight end. Barring some sort of setback with his sore knee, Kittle should be […]

Elijah Mitchell Still Not Practicing

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Mitchell hasn't practiced or played since he suffered a concussion in Week 13, and he's trending in the wrong direction so far this week. If he cannot get back on the field on Friday, the 23-year-old […]

Melvin Gordon III Limited Again Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) put in his second straight limited practice on Thursday. Gordon sprained his thumb in the Week 14 win over the Detroit Lions, but he returned to that contest and is fully expected to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 28-year-old was once again Denver's […]

Tee Higgins Looks Good To Go For Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle) was able to practice in full on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Higgins should be just fine to play in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos, barring a setback in Friday's practice. The 22-year-old second-year wideout has been absolutely amazing in the last three games, […]

Joe Burrow Returns To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (finger) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. The Bengals were giving Burrow a rest on Wednesday after he injured the pinkie finger on his right throwing hand in Week 13. The 25-year-old second-year signal-caller wasn't really bothered by his injured finger in the […]

James Robinson, Carlos Hyde Both Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running backs James Robinson (heel, knee) and Carlos Hyde (concussion) both missed practice on Thursday. Robinson was limited on Wednesday, but the Jaguars plan to rest him on Thursdays for the rest of the season. And now that Urban Meyer has been relieved of his head-coaching duties, the Jaguars could lean on the […]

Rex Burkhead Surprisingly Limited Thursday

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead (hip, quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Head coach David Culley also said on Wednesday that Burkhead wouldn't be active in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which is why it's a bit strange that he was on the […]

Donald Parham Jr. Carted Off With Head Injury

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (head) was immobilized and carted off the field early in the first quarter on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs and will not return to the field. Parham was targeted in the back of the end zone on a fourth-down play and laid motionless on the […]

T.J. Watt On Track To Play In Week 15

After putting in a limited practice on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was able to practice in full on Thursday. Watt injured his groin in the first half of last Thursday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and didn't return in the second half. However, the star pass-rusher is back on the practice field […]

Ben Roethlisberger Returns To Practice Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Roethlisberger has been rested early in the practice week for most of the year, only to return to practice later in the week and play on Sundays. The only game that Roethlisberger […]

Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard Limited Again

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Sanders aggravated his ankle in Week 13 before the bye, but he had 27 touches for 142 total yards and should be able to suit up this weekend against the Washington Football […]

Taylor Heinicke Practicing In Full

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke (elbow) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. Heinicke underwent an MRI exam on his injured knee earlier this week, but nothing came of it and his knee isn't even listed on the Week 15 injury report. He said his elbow was feeling much better on […]

Terry McLaurin Returns To Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (concussion) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after he was held out on Wednesday. McLaurin still hasn't been completely cleared from the concussion protocol, but it's a step in the right direction for him to play in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Scary […]

J.D. McKissic, Curtis Samuel Miss Another Practice

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic (concussion) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) both missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. McKissic remains in the league's concussion protocols and is on his way to missing his third straight game. Rookie Jonathan Williams and Wendell Smallwood have taken on some of his passing-game […]

Daniel Jones Still Putting In Limited Practices

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) was once again limited in practice on Thursday. Jones has been limited for every practice after straining his neck in Week 12, but he hasn't played since and isn't expected to be active this Sunday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. The Giants are optimistic that the 24-year-old will […]

Tevin Coleman Practicing In Full Again

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (concussion) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. Unless he suffers a setback on Friday, Coleman is in line to clear the league's concussion protocols and return to action in Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday after sitting out last week. The problem […]

Is Austin Ekeler Playing Tonight? Chargers RB Injury Update vs. Chiefs on Thursday Night Football

Week 15 is the start of the playoffs in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. Staying on top of the latest fantasy football injury news and NFL depth chart changes is key to setting those winning lineups.

Rams Place Von Miller, Eight More On COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Rams placed outside linebacker Von Miller and eight other players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The other players that will be joining Miller on the list include tackle Tremayne Anchrum Jr., defensive back Antoine Brooks Jr., guard Bobby Evans, defensive back Jake Gervase, linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, defensive back Kareem Orr, linebacker […]

Josh Reynolds Pops Up On Injury Report

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (thigh) was added to the Week 15 injury report on Thursday when he put in a limited practice. Mid-week additions to the injury report usually aren't a good sign, but as long as Reynolds is able to practice again on Friday, he should be able to play in Week […]

Emmanuel Sanders Misses Another Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday and is looking increasingly likely to miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The 34-year-old has been trending down in the second half of the season, so fantasy managers were probably already looking for other options in their starting […]

Jack Doyle Good To Go For Saturday's Game

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle) returned to a full practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Saturday's Week 15 game against the New England Patriots. Doyle landed on the injury report on Thursday when he got in a limited practice, but there's nothing to see here. He will play this […]

Nick Folk Slapped With Questionable Tag

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable on the final injury report for the Week 15 contest against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Folk has been listed as questionable before with his left knee injury, but he hasn't missed a game and should be […]

Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden Questionable

New England Patriots running backs Damien Harris (hamstring) and Brandon Bolden (knee) were both limited in practice all week and are listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Harris missed the entire second half except for one snap in Week 13 after tweaking his hamstring, but he had last week's […]

Austin Ekeler Will Be Active Thursday Night

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) will play on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Ekeler came into Thursday's game as questionable and a game-time decision, but all along the Chargers expected him to suit up. However, a report surfaced Thursday morning that the 26-year-old won't have a full workload after spraining […]
