Akiem Hicks Back From COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears removed defensive tackle Akiem Hicks from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, and he will be available to play in Week 17 against the New York Giants. Hicks went on the COVID list last Thursday and was forced to miss the Week 16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The Bears star defensive tackle […]

Noah Fant - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has become more of a TE2 for fantasy managers down the stretch in Denver's low-scoring offense, especially with quarterback Drew Lock set to make his second start in place of the injured Teddy Bridgewater (concussion). However, Fant could have some streaming appeal at his position in Week 17 against […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had one of his better games of late in the Week 16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, going for four catches on five targets for 33 yards. It just goes to show how bad Sutton has been in the second half of the season. In his last eight […]

Jerry Jeudy - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is an excellent route-runner, but the 22-year-old has seen his role diminish towards the end of his second season in the NFL. "It would mean a lot to the whole offense," quarterback Drew Lock said of Jeudy having a day. "You've got a playmaker like that, when you get […]

Antonio Brown Will Be A Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Buccaneers interim head coach Harold Goodwin said that wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) "tweaked" his ankle in practice this week but still has a chance to play in Week 17 against the New York Jets. The Bucs will decide on Brown's status on Sunday morning. It comes after Brown missed Thursday's practice. Fantasy […]

Jordan Howard Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that running back Jordan Howard (neck) is questionable for Week 17 against the Washington Football Team. "He's still got two more days," Sirianni said. The fact that Howard returned to practice on Thursday, albeit in a limited fashion, should mean that he's on the right side of questionable […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Activated From COVID-19 List

The Tennessee Titans activated wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. However, veteran Julio Jones, linebacker Jayon Brown, defensive lineman Denico Autry, tackle Kendall Lamm, defensive back Buster Skrine and outside linebacker Bud Dupree remain on the list heading into Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. If Jones isn't able to clear […]

Russell Wilson Vague On His Future In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is hoping that Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions won't be the last time he plays at Lumen Field as the team's QB. Wilson has been a franchise cornerstone since he was drafted in 2012 and helped the team win a Super Bowl title. Since returning from a finger injury […]

Cam Akers May Not Play Against Ravens

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (Achilles) has made a quick recovery from a torn Achilles in the summer, but his timetable for a return to games slowed on Thursday. "And so, I would say the Niners game, or the playoffs is what we've always kind of pinpointed as the potential spots," head coach […]

Tyler Huntley Trending Toward Starting In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley is trending toward starting in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. Lamar Jackson (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Friday after he was seen limping badly during a limited practice on Wednesday. Huntley returned from the COVID-19 list on Thursday and looks to be in line […]

Mike Evans Activated From COVID-19 List

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially activated wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It's a step in the right direction for Evans, but a hamstring injury suffered in Week 15 could still keep him out for a second straight game, especially since he hasn't been able to practice with the team […]

D'Andre Swift Ready To Go For Week 17

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is ready to go for Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks and looks fresh. Swift has practiced in full this week and is expected to be removed from the final injury report. He has been out since suffering a shoulder sprain on […]

Marlon Mack Activated From COVID-19 List

The Indianapolis Colts activated running back Marlon Mack and safety Jahleel Addae from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Mack has been a healthy scratch since Week 8, so there's a good chance he won't be active on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders despite being activated. The Colts have been running with MVP candidate Jonathan […]

Elijah Moore Won't Return This Week

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quadriceps) will not return in Week 17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but head coach Robert Saleh said the team is still hopeful that Moore can return for the regular season finale. Moore remains on Injured Reserve and will miss his fourth straight game. He's also on […]

Emmanuel Sanders Questionable For Sunday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) will be questionable to play in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons. Sanders was held out of practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, but the Bills were likely just resting the 34-year-old veteran. Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis are back […]

Sean Mannion Expected To Start Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings backup quarterback Sean Mannion is expected to come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list and start on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to a source. Starter Kirk Cousins, who is unvaccinated, tested positive for COVID on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 17. The Vikings also have Kellen Mond and […]

Jaguars Get Laviska Shenault Jr., Key Defenders Back

The Jacksonville Jaguars activated wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr., outside linebacker Josh Allen and linebacker Myles Jack, among others, from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Jacksonville will get some key players on both sides of the ball back for Week 17 against the New England Patriots. Shenault was dealing with foot and shoulder injuries before […]

Jared Goff Doubtful To Play In Week 17

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is "doubtful" to play on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. Goff missed last week's game due to COVID-19, but he's in line to miss his second straight game due to a knee injury that he suffered in the Week 15 […]

Antonio Gibson Placed On COVID-19 List

The Washington Football Team placed running back Antonio Gibson and left guard Ereck Flowers on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. There's a chance that Gibson and Flowers test out of the COVID protocols, but it's highly unlikely that will happen before Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers that were planning on starting Gibson […]

Kirk Cousins Tests Positive For COVID-19, Out Sunday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins tested positive for COVID-19, according to sources. As an unvaccinated player, he is out for Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. It's a huge blow for the Vikings chances of keeping their playoff hopes alive this week and for fantasy managers that were relying on Cousins […]

DK Metcalf Back To A Full Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (foot) was back to a full practice on Thursday after resting his foot on Wednesday. Metcalf has been managing a foot injury that he suffered way back in Week 4, but it hasn't caused him to miss any games. He will be active for the Week 17 game against […]

Another Limited Practice For Elijah Mitchell

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Mitchell has split the first-team repetitions with Jeff Wilson Jr. this week, so it's looking like the 23-year-old will return in Week 17 against the Houston Texans for the first time since Week […]

Marquise Brown Misses Practice With Illness

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) missed practice on Thursday with an illness. Wideout Devin Duvernay (ankle) was limited after missing Wednesday's practice. Brown is worth watching, as many players have missed practices in recent weeks with illnesses, only to be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list later on. If Brown were to be placed […]

Aaron Jones Limited Again This Week

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) has started off Week 17 with two straight limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Jones has been listed on the injury report since missing the Week 11 game due to a knee injury, but he hasn't missed any additional time. However, while he's been playing, he's been […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Yet To Practice This Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) hasn't practiced this week, but he should be just fine to suit up on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Rodgers hasn't been practicing much since suffering a broken pinkie toe, but he's played through the injury the last five games and has 16 touchdowns […]

Erik McCoy Placed On COVID-19 List

The New Orleans Saints added starting center Erik McCoy to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and activated defensive ends Carl Granderson and Jalyn Holmes from the list. McCoy is just another addition to the team's growing COVID-19 list, and he's unlikely to be active for Sunday's game against the division-rival Carolina Panthers. With McCoy likely […]

D'Andre Swift On Track To Return In Week 17

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) put in his second full practice of the week on Thursday. Head coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week that he expected Swift to return in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks, and Swift's two full practices so far backs up that statement. The 22-year-old suffered a shoulder […]

Another Missed Practice For Jared Goff

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is trending towards his second straight missed game after missing another day of practice on Thursday. Goff has yet to practice this week after missing last week's game due to COVID-19. Unless he gets back on the practice field on Friday, it'll likely be Tim Boyle leading the Detroit […]

Mark Ingram II Pops Up On Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday when he practiced on a limited basis. Ingram has dealt with knee issues this year -- he missed the Thanksgiving game with a knee injury -- and the fact that he was merely limited on Thursday […]

Tre'Quan Smith, Ty Montgomery Miss Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and Ty Montgomery (back) both missed practice on Thursday. It was Smith's second straight day on the sidelines, while Montgomery was added to the injury report on Thursday. Two straight missed practices for Smith doesn't bode well for his chances of playing on Sunday against the Carolina […]
