Rams Designate Cam Akers To Return From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams designated running back Cam Akers (Achilles) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday. The Rams were never ruling out the chance that Akers could return this year after tearing his Achilles in July, even if it seemed like a long shot. While the 22-year-old is now eligible to be activated from […]

Dodgers, Cody Bellinger Agree To One-Year Deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Cody Bellinger agreed to a one-year, $17 million deal to avoid salary arbitration before the league's Dec. 1 lockout, according to sources familiar with the agreement. The 26-year-old is coming off the worst season of his career, slashing .165/.240/.302 with 10 home runs in 95 games, but he played […]

D.J. Moore Misses Another Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury. Head coach Matt Rhule said on Wednesday that Moore is likely to be a game-time decision for the Week 16 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore's fantasy managers would rest a little easier if […]

A.J. Brown Coming Off Injured Reserve To Play Thursday

The Tennessee Titans are activating wide receiver A.J. Brown (chest) from Injured Reserve in order to play on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Brown was designated to return from IR earlier this week and didn't have any setbacks in practice. So the Titans will have both Brown and Julio Jones (hamstring) active in […]

Rondale Moore Set To Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Moore underwent an MRI exam on his ankle to begin the week and didn't practice at all, so we'd be surprised if he suits up on Christmas […]

James Conner To Be A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back James Conner (heel) will be a game-time decision on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. Conner missed practice all week, so he's on the wrong side of questionable, but it doesn't mean he won't be active on Christmas Day. The 26-year-old will officially be listed as […]

No Sign Of Jamison Crowder At Practice Thursday

There is no sign of New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) at the start of practice on Thursday. If Crowder is given a DNP, it will be his second missed practice of the week, which doesn't bode well for his status in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's a new injury for […]

Nelson Agholor Remains Sidelined At Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) missed practice for the second day of the week on Thursday. If Agholor cannot clear the league's concussion protocol, the Patriots could be pretty short-handed at the position in a big game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Kendrick Bourne, the team's leading receiver with 667 yards, remains […]

No Practice For Rhamondre Stevenson Thursday

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) wasn't at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Stevenson is in danger of missing the big divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday if he cannot get back on the field on Friday. Damien Harris (hamstring) has missed the last two games, but […]

Dalvin Cook Put On COVID-19 List, Out For Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Cook is unvaccinated, so he's not expected to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Unvaccinated players must quarantine for 10 days for a positive test and five days if they are a close contact. The hits just keep coming […]

Kadarius Toney Back From The COVID-19 List

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney, linebacker Oshane Ximines and safety J.R. Reed were cleared to return from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, according to head coach Joe Judge. Several more Giants players on the COVID list, including cornerback Adoree' Jackson, could be cleared on Friday. Toney hasn't played since Week 11 due […]

Elijah Moore Could Return Next Week

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is expected to be back for the final two games of the regular season. Moore was moved from Injured Reserve to the COVID-19 list on Wednesday, but as long as he clears the COVID protocols, he could be available to fantasy managers in Week 17. In […]

Antonio Gibson Not At Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is not at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Gibson injured his toe in Tuesday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, although he was able to return to finish out the contest. But on a short week, there's a chance Gibson won't be ready for […]

Leonard Fournette Out Again Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Fournette tweaked his hamstring in the Week 15 loss to the New Orleans Saints and was quickly ruled out. The Bucs are saying that he could miss one to two games, although they have yet to […]

Taysom Hill On COVID List, Ian Book To Start Monday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and will miss Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. Trevor Siemian also went on the COVID list on Thursday, so rookie Ian Book will start in Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins. It will be the fourth QB the […]

Mike Evans Not On The Right Track

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was not seen at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Evans injured his hamstring last Sunday night and was labeled as week-to-week for Week 16's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Unless Evans returns to the practice field on Friday, he'll likely be out this weekend […]

Tony Pollard Puts In A Limited Practice

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Pollard returned from a torn plantar fascia in his left foot in Week 15 against the New York Giants and had 12 carries for 74 yards while catching all three of his targets for an additional 13 yards in the victory. He […]

Curtis Samuel Listed As Limited Wednesday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Samuel didn't play in Week 15, so he'll likely need to actually practice later this week for the team to feel comfortable throwing him out there on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old has had a […]

Antonio Gibson Misses Practice Due To Toe Injury

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) didn't see the practice field on Wednesday due to a toe injury that he suffered in Tuesday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gibson left the game but returned, so hopefully that means he'll be able to play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday […]

Zay Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones (toe) was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury. We'll have a better idea in the coming days if his toe injury is serious enough to keep him out in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old had season-highs in catches (six), targets (nine) […]

Josh Jacobs Out Sick Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. Jacobs isn't on the COVID-19, but his status bears watching as the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos approaches on Sunday. As long as Jacobs gets on the practice field later this week, he should be considered likely […]

Darren Waller Remains Out Of Practice

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday. Waller hasn't practiced or played since Thanksgiving, so his fantasy managers must continue to have a backup plan in place in case he can't play this Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Whenever Waller gets back on the field, he'll immediately […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Limited Thursday

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) was limited in the team's first practice on Wednesday with a knee ailment. It doesn't seem like too serious of an injury for the 23-year-old, so unless he misses a practice later this week, Albert O should be active this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders. Okwuegbunam remains […]

Courtland Sutton Limited With Wrist Injury

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday. The fact that Sutton is practicing to begin the week is a good sign, but we'll continue to keep an eye on him as the team prepares for a divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. The 26-year-old wideout […]

Javonte Williams Remains On The Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Williams was limited all last week and was questionable, but he was never in any danger of missing the game. The near-even timeshare between Williams and Gordon should continue in a good matchup in Week 16 against […]

Melvin Gordon III Idle To Begin The Week

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) didn't practice to begin the practice week on Wednesday. As long as Gordon can get back on the practice field within the next few days, he should be able to play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. He and rookie Javonte Williams each saw 15 […]

Devin Bush Placed On COVID-19 List

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was the latest Steelers player to land on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Bush is the team's starting inside linebacker, so the Steelers atrocious run defense could be even more compromised in Week 16 against the powerful Kansas City Chiefs offense. The 10th overall pick of the 2019 draft had […]

Pat Freiermuth Out With Concussion Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Freiermuth is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for this Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. […]

Alex Collins Listed As Limited Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Collins should be healthy enough to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but there's no guarantee he'll see that much work behind Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas, who scored Seattle's lone […]

Is Mike Evans Playing This Week? Is Chris Godwin Out For The Season?

As we head into Week 16, which is the fantasy football semifinals in most leagues, we must first debrief on what was one of the most hectic weeks in NFL history due to injuries and COVID-19 outbreaks across the league. Fantasy managers that want to advance to their league's championship matchup in Week 17 must […]
