David Johnson In Danger Of Missing Week 16?

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (quadriceps) was listed as a non-practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday.

Houston's best offensive weapon, […]

Should I Start Jeff Wilson Jr.? Is Elijah Mitchell Playing Tonight?

Thursday night is here, which means Week 16 is about to kick off. And for most fantasy football managers, that means the start of semifinals week. COVID-19 outbreaks and injuries around the league continue to wreak havoc on fantasy lineups, so it's important to stay up to date on all player news. The first game […]

Donald Parham Jr. Still Sidelined

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday and doesn't look close to playing in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Anyone watching the play in which Parham was knocked out after hitting his head violently on the turf last Thursday would understand completely if […]

Kirk Cousins Practicing In Full

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins (ribs) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Cousins was seen wincing while tossing footballs around at practice on Wednesday, so his ribs injury is worth watching, although it doesn't look like it's a serious enough injury to keep him from playing on Sunday […]

Adam Thielen Limited Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) put in another day of limited practice on Thursday. Thielen has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain, but he's made real progress this week and could be available to return for a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. He was […]

James Conner Confident He'll Play In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) said he's confident he'll play in Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.

Jordan Howard Practicing In Full

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (knee) practiced in full at the team's Thursday walkthrough practice after being listed as limited in Wednesday's estimated session. Howard is getting healthier while Mile Sanders (quadriceps) has yet to practice this week. While Howard did see a healthy 15 carries for 69 yards in his return on Tuesday […]

Miles Sanders Idle Again Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP for the second straight practice on Thursday. Sanders suffered the quad injury on Tuesday in the win over the Washington Football Team, and on the short week, he should now be considered questionable to play on Sunday against the New York Giants. It […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Back On The Practice Field

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (foot, shoulder) put in a limited practice session on Thursday after he wasn't seen at all on Wednesday.

Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden Limited Again Thursday

New England Patriots running backs Damien Harris (hamstring) and Brandon Bolden (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day.

Joe Mixon Practices In Full Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday and is on track to play in Week 16 in a big divisional clash with the Baltimore Ravens. Mixon was limping at the end of the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos, but he's feeling fine now […]

Devin Duvernay Hasn't Practiced This Week

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (ankle) has missed both days of practice this week. Duvernay was rarely on the field in the Week 15 loss to the Green Bay Packers, so he could've been dealing with the injury last weekend. Even if the 24-year-old is active on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, he cannot […]

Is A.J. Brown Playing Tonight? WR Injury Update vs. 49ers on Thursday Night Football

Week 15 was about as wild as it gets for the NFL and fantasy football managers. But with significant injuries and COVID-19 still wreaking havoc on the league, Week 16 could be just as hectic. Fantasy managers that survived the first week of the playoffs must stay on top of the news in order to […]

Is Julio Jones Playing Tonight? Should I Start Julio Jones in Week 16?

After a long a crazy Week 15 finally wrapping up, Week 16 of the NFL season is here. Along with that comes that 2nd round of the fantasy football playoffs for most leagues. Injury and COVID situations will remain key in determining the right players to start or sit in fantasy lineups, and can be […]

Tajae Sharpe Isn't Back On The Practice Field

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (foot) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Sharpe was listed as day-to-day on Wednesday, but he's not on the right track to play in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions after he was injured in the Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even as […]

D'Andre Swift Limited Again Thursday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Swift is back at practice this week for the first time since spraining his shoulder on Thanksgiving, and while he could be available on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, it's not a guarantee, and the Lions […]

Zach Ertz Will Play Saturday

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Ertz was limited the other two days of practice, but he was never in any real danger of sitting out this weekend. With receiver DeAndre Hopkins […]

Lamar Jackson Misses Practice Again Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) missed practice yet again on Thursday, making it more likely that backup Tyler Huntley makes his second straight start in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Jackson suffered a sprained ankle in Week 14 and has yet to practice since. He still has one more day in […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Will Return In Week 16

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) practiced in full on Friday and will play in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Receiver Amari Rodgers (shoulder) also wasn't on the final injury report, while Malik Taylor (shoulder) was ruled out after not practicing all week. St. Brown's return is worth mentioning […]

Aaron Jones Good To Go Against The Browns

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week but was removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Jones has been listed on the injury report since injuring his knee in Week 10 and has yielded more work to AJ Dillon in […]

Aaron Rodgers Taken Off The Injury Report

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed practice all week for the second straight week but won't carry an injury designation into the Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

Leonard Fournette Placed On Injured Reserve

In a move that was expected, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will knock him out for the final three games of the regular season. Fantasy managers that have rode Fournette all this way sadly won't have him in the final push for a fantasy […]

Malik Hooker Tests Positive For COVID-19

Dallas Cowboys safety Malik Hooker tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, and his status is now in doubt for Sunday night's game against the Washington Football Team. It's terrible timing for Hooker, as he's coming off his best game of the season with six tackles (five solo), an interception and a pass defensed in 51% […]

Chris Jones Returns From COVID-19 List

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is back from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, according to a source. The Chiefs are also getting cornerback Charvarius Ward back for their Week 16 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chiefs have been a pretty neutral defense against the run, but Jones' return in the middle of KC's defensive […]

JC Tretter Goes On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that center JC Tretter was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Tretter isn't officially ruled out, but this late in the week, it's unlikely that he'll clear the COVID protocols in time to play on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. The 30-year-old's absence […]

Colts To Be Down Two Offensive Line Starters Saturday

Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly (personal) and safety Andrew Sendejo (concussion) have been ruled out for Saturday's Christmas Day game against the Arizona Cardinals. Offensive guard Mark Glowinski was also added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and will not be available on Saturday. Running back Jonathan Taylor, the NFL's leading rusher and the most […]

Kendall Lamm To Miss Thursday's Game

Tennessee Titans reserve offensive tackle Kendall Lamm announced on social media on Thursday that he tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Left tackle Taylor Lewan (back) and left guard Rodger Saffold were ruled out on Wednesday, so the Titans offensive line is going to be […]

Ravens Won't Give Extra Attention To Ja'Marr Chase

Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said that they will not double/triple team Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase in Week 16 like they did for Packers receiver Davante Adams in Week 15. "Adams is one of the top two receivers in the league and he's not No. 2. Aaron Rodgers is a Hall […]

Emmanuel Sanders Returns To Full Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Sanders is making good progress from a knee injury that kept him out of last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. Barring a setback on Friday, Sanders should be able to return in Week […]

Myles Garrett 50-50 To Play Saturday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he considers defensive end Myles Garrett (groin) to be 50-50 to play in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday on Christmas Day.
