Miles Sanders Questionable To Return With Hand Injury

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) is questionable to return to the Week 16 game against the New York Giants due to a hand injury. Before leaving the contest, Sanders led the team with seven carries while gaining 45 yards (6.4 yards per carry). He also caught one of his three targets in the […]

Jaguars Interested In Byron Leftwich As Next Head Coach

The Jacksonville Jaguars are interested in several candidates to fill their head-coaching vacancy heading into next season. Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich could be the ideal candidate to help mold young quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Along with Leftwich, the Jags are interested in interviewing former head coaches Jim Caldwell and Doug Pederson. Leftwich was […]

Adam Thielen Questionable To Return Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams after aggravating his ankle injury. Thielen was injured after catching a pass and looked pretty upset as he limped off the field under his own power. Considering that Thielen missed the previous two games with a […]

Mike Evans Has A Chance To Return Before Playoffs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), who is out in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, has a chance to return in the regular season, according to a source. Evans' hamstring injury isn't considered too serious and he was listed as week-to-week earlier in the week, so there's a chance that he could […]

Dak Prescott Working To Get Back On Track

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott hasn't been very good since he returned from a calf injury, but he's been spending extra time working with his receivers in recent weeks to get the Dallas offense back on track heading into the postseason. Prescott and his receivers have put in extra time outside of practice on specific […]

Not Much Optimism For Curtis Samuel

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring), who is a game-time decision for Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, doesn't look likely to play in Week 16. Samuel sat out in Week 15 and is on the wrong side of questionable heading into the Sunday night game. Fantasy managers shouldn't have been considering Samuel […]

Bryan Edwards, Marcus Mariota Placed On COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders placed wide receiver Bryan Edwards and quarterback Marcus Mariota on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Sunday, which means they will be inactive for Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Nathan Peterman and wide receiver Dillon Stoner were activated from the COVID list in a corresponding move. Edwards caught his third touchdown […]

Sam Darnold Takes Over For Cam Newton Against Bucs

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is taking over under center for Cam Newton in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. A report surfaced Sunday morning that Darnold would play this weekend, setting him up to retake the starting QB job for the final two weeks of the season. Newton clearly isn't the […]

James Robinson Tears Achilles Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in Week 16 against the New York Jets on Sunday and was carted off the field. It's a tough way for Robinson to end his 2021 season, and it's also a tough break for fantasy managers that were relying on Robinson to put up […]

Is Tyreek Hill Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

Buckle up for Week 16, folks. The fantasy football landscape has been tough to navigate during the playoffs with injuries and COVID-19 running rampant throughout the league. Fantasy managers are just hoping that their teams don't deliver a lump of coal when it matters most. These last two weeks, there have been some pretty big […]

Is Austin Ekeler Playing This Week? Is Justin Jackson Worth Picking Up?

Week 16 is here. Will it be just as wild as Week 15 was? We shall see, but big-name players continue to land on the COVID-19 list, while others are injury question marks. Fantasy football managers would love nothing more than to be gifted a win in the fantasy semifinals during Christmas weekend, but you'll […]

Broncos Defense An Attractive Option Against Raiders

The Denver Broncos defense allowed a season-high 34 points in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders. But since then, they've stiffened up considerably and have allowed 22 or more points only twice in the eight games since that loss to the Raiders. In the other six games, they haven't allowed more than 17 points. […]

Brandon McManus - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has finished most weeks outside of the top 12 at his position, and he enters the Week 16 game against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders as the No. 18 kicker in overall fantasy points. It's just hard to trust McManus from a fantasy perspective in an offense that scores only […]

Noah Fant - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant is due, and that's an understatement. Perhaps it'll come with quarterback Drew Lock making his first start of the season in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Lock does have an affinity for throwing to his tight ends, but the problem is that Albert Okwuegbunam might be Lock's […]

Tim Patrick - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick has five touchdowns on the year, which is only one shy of his career-high set last season. He's also one of the most reliable and trustworthy pass-catchers in the NFL and has caught 63.4% of the passes thrown his way on 71 targets. Patrick was the recipient of quarterback […]

Jerry Jeudy - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy picked the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues in Week 15 to have his worst game of the season when he failed to catch any of his four targets in the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. None of Denver's pass-catchers have been reliable in starting lineups […]

Drew Lock - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will make his first start of the season in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders with Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) ruled out. He'll have an opportunity to prove that he still has a future in Denver, although he hasn't looked very good in three relief appearances this year, going 22-for-40 […]

Ryan Ramczyk, Demario Davis Land On COVID-19 List

After placing nine players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, the New Orleans Saints added offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk, All-Pro linebacker Demario Davis, linebacker Dwayne Washington and safety J.T. Gray to the list on Friday. Davis currently leads all non-specialists in consecutive games played (158), but that's about to end in Week 16 unless he […]

Jourdan Lewis, Simi Fehoko Placed On COVID-19 List

The Dallas Cowboys added rookie wide receiver Simi Fehoko and nickel cornerback Jourdan Lewis to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. They will join safety Malik Hooker and defensive tackle Trysten Hill as Cowboys players on the COVID list ahead of the Week 16 game against the Washington Football Team on Sunday night. Because of their […]

Zay Jones Good To Go For Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones (toe) was limited in practice again on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the division-rival Denver Broncos. Jones had season-highs in receptions (six), receiving yards (67) and targets (nine) in Monday's win over the Cleveland Browns. Both Jones and tight end […]

Albert Okwuegbunam - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) has been cleared to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. Believe it or not, Okwuegbunam led the Broncos with his 58 receiving yards in the Week 15 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Both he and Noah Fant led the Broncos pass-catchers last weekend. Okwuegbunam has two […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (wrist) has been cleared to play in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Perhaps quarterback Drew Lock getting a start will jump start Sutton on offense. It's wishful thinking, but fantasy managers should probably stay away from Denver's passing attack against a Raiders secondary that has held its […]

Melvin Gordon III - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) has been cleared to play in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Gordon has produced more fantasy points than impressive rookie Javonte Williams because he's scored more touchdowns (seven rushing, two receiving), but Williams has gained more yards on the ground on four fewer carries. […]

Javonte Williams - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) has been cleared to play in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The second-rounder leads the team in rushing (815 yards), is second in carries (170) behind Melvin Gordon and has six total touchdowns (three rushing, three receiving). He's also fourth on the team with 38 […]

Pat Freiermuth Ruled Out Against Chiefs

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) was unable to clear the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Freiermuth will miss the first game of his career after suffering a concussion in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old has had an […]

Justin Watson Comes Off The PUP List

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers activated wide receiver Justin Watson (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list and cornerback Rashard Robinson (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Friday. Watson has been out all year, but he was on the field for more than 50% of the team's kick and coverage plays on special teams in each […]

Travis Homer Activated From COVID-19 List

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Rashaad Penny, who has been Seattle's lead back each of the last two weeks, is the only Seahawks running back worth considering for starting fantasy lineups this weekend. In his last game in Week 13, Homer caught four of his season-high […]

Alex Collins Will Be Available In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears after putting in limited practices all week. Collins missed the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams while on the COVID-19 list and is no longer the lead RB in this backfield. Rashaad […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Out, Marquise Goodwin Questionable

Chicago Bears wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (concussion) has been ruled out with a concussion, while receiver Marquise Goodwin (foot) is questionable to play in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. Grant suffered his concussion in the Monday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but the seldom-used gadget player on offense had scored touchdowns the […]

David Johnson Questionable To Play Sunday

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (quadriceps) missed practice all week but is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16. Because of the fact that Johnson wasn't able to get in any work during the week, he's expected to be inactive on Sunday. The 30-year-old has been […]
