Melvin Gordon III - Week 18 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) practiced in full on Friday and has been cleared to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. Gordon was removed from the final injury report. Although he had four fewer carries than rookie Javonte Williams in the Week […]

Javonte Williams - Week 18 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 18 against the Kansas City Chiefs. For one last game this season, Williams will likely split the backfield workload with teammate Melvin Gordon III. The last time Denver faced KC, Williams had […]

DK Metcalf Doesn't Want To Leave Seattle

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf said he wants to sign a contract extension this offseason and remain in Seattle. "Of course. I'm not trying to leave. But we've got the Cardinals to focus on now," Metcalf said. Metcalf went through a cold spell from Weeks 10 to 15 after quarterback Russell Wilson returned from […]

James O'Shaughnessy On Track To Miss Another Game

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. After sitting out the Week 17 blowout loss to the New England Patriots, O'Shaughnessy looks primed to finish out the season on the sidelines in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts. The good […]

Ricky Seals-Jones, Curtis Samuel Absent Thursday

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (concussion) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) were both sidelined at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. It would be a surprise at this point if either player were to suit up on Sunday for the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants […]

C.J. Uzomah Out Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (hip, knee) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Uzomah's injuries may not be all that serious, but the Bengals won't take any chances if they don't have to and could rest the 28-year-old in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. […]

Kyle Pitts Thinks He'll Play Sunday

Atlanta Falcons rookie tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) said he thinks he will play on Sunday in the Week 18 regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Pitts needs 50 yards to set the NFL's record for receiving yards as a rookie. After missing practice on Wednesday, Pitts was back on the field for […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Officially Ruled Out

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Denver Broncos on Saturday. Darrel Williams, who had 14 carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns while adding three receptions for 19 yards last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, is in line […]

Kadarius Toney Downgraded On Thursday

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) was listed as not practicing on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Mid-week downgrades are not a good thing, especially for a player that missed last week. And with a meaningless game coming in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Washington Football Team, […]

D'Andre Swift Expects Similar Role To Last Week

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift said he doesn't expect his role to change much in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers, and he also said he won't need shoulder surgery this offseason. Swift saw the same number of carries (four) as Craig Reynolds in his return last week in […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Likely Out In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) didn't practice on Thursday and is "most likely out" for the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against the Denver Broncos, according to head coach Andy Reid. Edwards-Helaire suffered a bruised shoulder in Week 16 and sat out last week, so he's in line to miss […]

Aaron Rodgers Getting Some Work In Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) is getting some practice work in on Thursday, which has been a rare occurrence for him since suffering a fractured pinkie toe. Rodgers hasn't been practicing at all in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any games and hasn't seen his play suffer at all, so it looks […]

Elijah Moore Working On Side Field Thursday

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is working on a side field with trainers on Thursday. However, the New York Post's Brian Costello thinks it's unlikely that Moore will come off Injured Reserve to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday after not practicing for […]

Michael Carter Donning No-Contact Jersey Thursday

New York Jets rookie running back Michael Carter (concussion) had a no-contact jersey on during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, so it looks as though he might be a limited participant. Carter didn't practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, […]

Austin Hooper Has Six Dropped Passes This Year

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper has dropped six passes this year, which is tied for the most among tight ends, according to Pro Football Focus. Hooper has really struggled with quarterback Baker Mayfield, and he's dropped around 10% of his 61 targets. Hooper's 38 catches for 345 yards and three touchdowns are roughly half […]

Browns Looking To Upgrade Over Baker Mayfield?

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot says it's likely that the Cleveland Browns will decide to upgrade over quarterback Baker Mayfield this offseason, even if the QB resolves his differences with head coach Kevin Stefanski. According to sources, Mayfield felt like Stefanski's play-calling didn't always put him in a position to succeed or play […]

Another Missed Practice For Robby Anderson

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson (quadriceps) is missing his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Anderson will need to get back on the practice field on Friday to have a chance at playing in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers could be thin […]

Chase Edmonds Not Seen At Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ribs, toe) was not at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Edmonds also missed the first practice of the week on Wednesday, so he's in real danger of missing the Week 18 regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday. Meanwhile, teammate James Conner […]

Buccaneers Officially Release Antonio Brown

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially releasing wide receiver Antonio Brown on Thursday, according to a league sources. Last week, Brown and his agent requested that the remaining $2 million in incentives in his contract for this season be guaranteed, according to general manager Jason Licht. However, the team declined to guarantee those incentives. Brown […]

Bears Place Justin Fields On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed rookie quarterback Justin Fields on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Fields tested positive for the virus but is vaccinated, so there's a chance he could clear the league's COVID protocols and play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. However, with his positive test coming […]

Baker Mayfield To Have Surgery Jan. 19

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) will have surgery to fix the torn labrum in his left shoulder on Jan. 19 in Los Angeles, according to a source. With Mayfield shutting it down with one game remaining in the regular season and electing to undergo surgery as soon as possible, he will have plenty of […]

Robby Anderson Listed As DNP Wednesday

Carolina Panthers wide receivers Robby Anderson (quadriceps) and Shi Smith (illness) were not able to practice on Wednesday. Anderson came just short of playing every single offensive snap in the Week 17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, so it's likely that his quad injury isn't too serious. As long as he's back on the […]

Chase Edmonds Dealing With Multiple Injuries

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ribs, toe) missed practice on Wednesday. This is certainly something to watch, as Edmonds has carried the ball 34 times for 109 yards (3.21 yards per carry) and a touchdown while adding 13 receptions on 15 targets for an additional 100 yards through the air with James Conner (heel) […]

Nelson Agholor Could Return This Week

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) managed a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out the last two games with a concussion. Agholor appears to be progressing through the league's concussion protocol, though, and he could have a chance at playing in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. However, […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was held out of practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if this is just the 49ers resting Mitchell ahead of a must-win game in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams or if he suffered a setback in the Week 17 win over the Houston Texans. We'll […]

Emmanuel Sanders Misses Practice On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) missed the team's practice on Wednesday. Sanders was unable to play in the Week 17 win over the Atlanta Falcons and might be held out again in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New York Jets so that he can be ready to go […]

Antonio Brown To Have Ankle Surgery

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) said in a statement that an MRI last week "shows broken bone fragments" and a "ligament torn from the bone." He plans to have surgery on his ankle and claims that head coach Bruce Arians essentially cut him in Week 17 against the New York Jets when […]

Michael Carter Unable To Return To Practice

New York Jets rookie running back Michael Carter (concussion) was unable to return to practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the missed practice, the Jets are optimistic that he can clear the league's concussion protocol and play in the Week 18 regular season […]

No Practice For Braxton Berrios On Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report. The Jets don't appear to be very worried that Berrios' injury will keep him from playing in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills, so we'd expect Berrios to return to practice in the coming […]

Tre'Quan Smith, Mark Ingram II Limited Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and running back Mark Ingram II (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday after sitting out the Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers. It looks as though the Saints could be getting both players back in a Week 18 must-win regular season finale against the […]
