Saquon Barkley Good To Go For Season Finale

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was limited in practice all week and was removed from the final injury report for Week 18 against the Washington Football Team. Barkley and the entire Giants offense has had a season to forget, but they have a chance to go out on a high note in […]

No Injury Designation For Antonio Gibson

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (hip) put in a full practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants. Gibson missed the Week 17 game due to COVID-19, so it's possible that he doesn't see his usual large workload in a […]

Josh Reynolds Now Questionable For Sunday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (thigh) was added to the injury report on Friday when he put in a limited practice, and he's now questionable to face the Green Bay Packers in Week 18 on Sunday. Last-minute additions to the injury report usually aren't a great sign, but Reynolds could be a game-time decision […]

Jared Goff Given Questionable Tag

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Dan Campbell said he considered Goff probable to play on Sunday, so it sounds as though Goff will return after a two-game absence. […]

Aaron Jones Questionable For Week 18

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Detroit Lions. The Packers are planning to play their starters in a meaningless game on Sunday, but it remains to be seen how long the starters will actually stay […]

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (chest, ribs) was limited in practice all week but was removed from the final injury report for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Chubb curiously only had 12 carries, his fewest since Week 12, and ran for 58 yards against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL […]

Brandon McManus Activated From COVID-19 List

The Denver Broncos activated kicker Brandon McManus and punter Sam Martin from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, although both players must still be cleared from the league's protocols on Saturday in order to play against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) and defensive tackle D.J. Reader will not travel to Cleveland and are officially out for Sunday's game against the Browns in Week 18.

C.J. Uzomah, Evan McPherson Questionable For Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (hip, knee) and kicker Evan McPherson (groin) are both questionable to play in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns. Uzomah missed practice all week and is on the wrong side of questionable for the weekend, so he becomes one to avoid as a TE2 in a Bengals offense that […]

Joe Burrow Listed As Questionable For Week 18

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns. Despite the questionable tag, Burrow is fully expected to rest his knee on Sunday before heading into the playoffs next week. It's unclear if Burrow […]

J.J. Watt Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Robby Anderson To Be A Game-Time Decision

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson (quadriceps) is questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and head coach Matt Rhule said that Anderson will be a game-time decision. The fact that Anderson didn't practice all week puts him on the wrong side of questionable to close out the season. […]

Justin Fields Unlikely To Play Sunday

Even if Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) clears the league's COVID-19 protocols by Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, he's unlikely to play in Week 18 after missing practice Thursday and Friday. Head coach Matt Nagy announced on Friday that Andy Dalton will start under center, with Nick Foles backing him up. Fields' […]

Jets Put Braxton Berrios On Injured Reserve

The New York Jets placed wide receiver Braxton Berrios (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Friday, so he will not play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. In 16 games this year, Berrios had 46 catches for 431 yards and two touchdowns, also carrying the ball seven times for […]

Elijah Mitchell Good To Go For Week 18

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was on the injury report earlier in the week but won't carry an injury designation into the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Jimmy Garoppolo Officially Questionable Against Rams

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 18 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Garoppolo was able to practice on a limited basis all week, which puts him on the right side of questionable entering this must-win game for the […]

Darren Waller Questionable For Week 18

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers in the Week 18 regular season finale. Waller was limited in practice all week, but he was set back by COVID-19 last week and hasn't played since Thanksgiving. In a must-win game for […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable For Sunday Night

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ribs) is questionable to play against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night to close out the regular season. Jacobs was limited in practice all week, so he's on the right side of questionable heading into this must-win game. If active, Jacobs will be an RB1 for fantasy […]

Andy Dalton Named The Week 18 Starter

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy announced that quarterback Andy Dalton will start on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in the Week 18 regular season finale. Rookie Justin Fields was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list this week, and it was expected all along that Dalton would make the start if Fields wasn't cleared from the […]

Texans Sign Rex Burkhead To Contract Extension

The Houston Texans signed running back Rex Burkhead to a contract extension on Friday that will run through the 2022 season, according to sources. Financial terms of the extension were not disclosed.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Le'Veon Bell Could Split The Workload

The Athletic's Greg Auman thinks Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell could split the workload in the backfield in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers with Ronald Jones II (ankle) being ruled out. If Tampa needs a third back, Kenjon Barner could be available. Giovani Bernard (hip) […]

Kyle Pitts Questionable To Face The Saints

Atlanta Falcons rookie tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) put in another limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 18 against the New Orleans Saints. Pitts has an opportunity to break Mike Ditka's record for receiving yards by a rookie tight end, so there's a good chance that he'll suit up if […]

Questionable Tag For David Njoku In Week 18

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (shoulder) is listed as questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Njoku caught his fourth touchdown of the year on Monday night, but it came on four receptions for only 28 yards, and he's averaging a mere 2.3 receptions and […]

Kareem Hunt Questionable For Week 18

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) is listed as questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Hunt was limited in practice all week, but he hasn't played since Week 14, so even if he does return to action to close out the year, he could have his […]

Steelers Activate Diontae Johnson From COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated wide receiver Diontae Johnson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Johnson just went on the COVID list on Thursday, so it's a bit of a surprise, but fantasy managers with Johnson on their rosters will take it ahead of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Baltimore Ravens in a […]

Ja'Marr Chase Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said he thinks there's a chance that rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in the Week 18 regular season finale.
