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.

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

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and Ty Montgomery (back) were limited in practice all week and were removed from the final injury report for Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons.

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. Mitchell was rested on Wednesday but practiced the last two days and is good to go in […]

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.

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.

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot), cornerback Trevon Diggs (illness) and safety Jayron Kearse (hamstring) will not travel with the team to Philadelphia and have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Eagles.

Chase Edmonds Will Not Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back Chase Edmonds (ribs) will not play on Sunday in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. Edmonds has been the team's lead back the last two weeks with James Conner (heel) sidelined, but fantasy managers will be without Edmonds this weekend. Conner […]

Packers Plan To Start Aaron Rodgers Against Lions

The Green Bay Packers are planning on starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, and head coach Matt LaFleur will see how the game goes. "I don't think he needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going," LaFleur said. The Packers have already locked up the […]

Lamar Jackson Ruled Out For Week 18

After missing practice all week, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out of the Week 18 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens announced earlier on Friday that Tyler Huntley would make another start, sealing Jackson's fate in missing his fourth straight game to close out the year. It was a tough […]

Is Aaron Rodgers Playing This Week? Should I Start Aaron Rodgers in Week 18?

There's a reason why most fantasy football leagues end in Week 17 in the second-to-last week of the regular season. By the time the last week of the regular season rolls around (in Week 18 now), many NFL teams have already either locked up a playoff spot or been eliminated from postseason contention. In turn, […]

Is Jimmy Garoppolo Playing This Week? Should I Start Trey Lance In Week 18?

The San Francisco 49ers are facing a must-win situation in the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on the road, and the Rams won't be throwing backups out there. They, too, have something to play for -- the NFC West title. In a huge game for San Fran, they face […]

Is Derrick Henry Playing This Week? Should I Start Derrick Henry In Week 18?

Most fantasy football leagues came to an end in Week 17. But if your league is a little different and concludes in Week 18, the final week of the regular season, or if you are playing DFS, then you should still be monitoring player news and injury information across the NFL. The Tennessee Titans jumped […]

Ronald Jones II Not At Thursday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) was not seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Jones was seen wearing a walking boot after practice on Wednesday, so he's definitely on the wrong side of questionable heading into the Week 18 regular season finale against the Carolina Panthers. If you're […]
