Drew Brees Has A Ways To Go

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) was designated to return to practice on Wednesday, but head coach Sean Payton said that Brees has "a ways to go" in his recovery from 11 broken ribs and a punctured lung. "He's got a ways to go still, and he's someone we're not gonna just hurry […]

Ravens Defense Still Fighting Through Injuries

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell (calf) and cornerbacks Marcus Peters (calf) and Jimmy Smith (ribs, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Campbell returned from the COVID-19 list to play in Week 13 against the Cowboys, but he's been dealing with this calf injury since Week 9 against the Colts. He doesn't have a sack […]

No Practice For Robert Woods

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods (thigh) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on Woods' practice status the rest of the week, as he'll be a must-start wideout with obvious WR1 upside this weekend against the winless Jets and their woeful defense if he's […]

Jamison Crowder Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) didn't practice on Wednesday. Crowder battled through the injury in the Week 14 blowout loss to the Seahawks, but he was clearly not 100 percent and caught just two of five targets for a season-low seven yards. Against a Rams Defense in Week 15 that is allowing […]

Ezekiel Elliott Misses Practice Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Elliott didn't aggravate his calf in the Week 14 win over the Bengals, but the Cowboys are giving him a little extra rest late in the season. Barring a setback, we'd expect Elliott to be active this weekend. The 25-year-old, […]

Brandin Cooks, Duke Johnson Limited In Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (neck) and running back Duke Johnson (neck) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. This is really good news for Cooks after he sat out of the Week 14 loss to the Bears. The 27-year-old could still be considered questionable, though, so continue to track his progress through the […]

David Johnson Back From COVID-19 List

The Houston Texans activated running back David Johnson from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday after he was deemed a high-risk close contact and was forced to miss the Week 14 game. Johnson did not practice on Wednesday. The 29-year-old should be back in action this weekend against the Colts, but he'll be more of an […]

Jeff Driskel Activated From COVID-19 List

The Denver Broncos activated quarterback Jeff Driskel from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and they also signed cornerback Parnell Motley off the 49ers practice squad. Driskel was put on the list after testing positive for COVID-19 three weeks ago. It led to the debacle that was practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton taking snaps under center […]

Chase Edmonds, Zane Gonzalez Miss Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) and kicker Zane Gonzalez (back) didn't practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Edmonds would be a game-time decision in Week 15 against the Eagles on Sunday. Edmonds has had fantasy relevance behind Kenyan Drake this year with 751 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns, and he's […]

James Robinson On The Week 15 Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (knee) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. There's nothing to suggest that Robinson's injury is very serious, so he should remain a strong RB1 choice for fantasy managers in the fantasy semifinals this week. As long as the Jaguars aren't blown out again, which is […]

DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant Sr. Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receivers DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring), linebacker Kyle Van Noy (hip) and guard Ereck Flowers (ankle) were limited in practice Wednesday. Parker and Grant were at least able to practice some, but their statuses for Week 15 against the Patriots are very much up in the air. In a […]

Mike Gesicki Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and safety Bobby McCain (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday. Gesicki has scored four touchdowns in his last three games and has 14 catches on 17 targets for 153 yards and three touchdowns in the last two contests. He'll be a high-end TE2 if he can somehow get in […]

Matt Breida Activated From COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins activated running back Matt Breida from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Breida hasn't played since Week 12 and has just 47 carries for 168 yards (career-low 3.6 yards per carry) and no touchdowns in his nine games played in his first year in Miami. Even if Myles Gaskin and rookie Salvon Ahmed […]

Austin Hooper Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that tight end Austin Hooper (neck) and cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday. Both players were limited. Hooper was injured in practice last week and missed the Monday night game, while Ward has been out since Week 11. Unless he suffers a setback, Hooper should […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. Pierre-Paul had surgery on his knee this year, so the Buccaneers have taken it easy on him in practices early in the week. Despite dealing with the knee issue, JPP has been the top-scoring defensive lineman -- just above the Rams' […]

Kyle Rudolph, Alexander Mattison Miss Practice

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and running back Alexander Mattison (appendix) both missed practice on Wednesday. Rudolph and Mattison missed last week's game, and Mattison has missed the last two games after having his appendix removed. Neither player should be on the fantasy radar for a Week 15 meeting with the Bears. Chicago's […]

Trey Burton, Mo Alie-Cox Added To Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts tight ends Trey Burton (knee) and Mo Alie-Cox (knee) were both added to the injury report on Wednesday after they were unable to practice. It's unclear if either player is in serious danger of sitting out in Week 15 against the Texans, but it's something to watch as the week progresses. Burton is […]

Michael Thomas Misses Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was unable to practice on Wednesday, along with receiver Deonte Harris (neck). It's likely just an extra day of rest for Thomas after he's struggled with his ankle injury in 2020. The 27-year-old All-Pro caught all eight of his targets for 84 yards in the Week 14 […]

Calvin Ridley Limited Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Unless he suffers a setback later this week, Ridley should play against the Buccaneers in Week 15 and should be locked into all starting fantasy lineups, especially with Julio Jones (hamstring) looking unlikely to play for the second straight week. With […]

Julio Jones Does Not Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), safety Ricardo Allen (concussion), offensive lineman Kaleb McGary (personal) and cornerback Darqueze Dennard (quadriceps) didn't practice on Wednesday. Jones is being considered as week-to-week, so it's very possible that he could miss his second straight game in Week 15 against the Buccaneers. More nagging injuries continue to slow […]

Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams Questionable

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (quadriceps) and wide receiver Mike Williams (back) are both questionable for Thursday night against the division-rival Raiders. Both players were limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, so they both have a good shot at playing. Las Vegas is an excellent matchup for RBs -- they allow the […]

Nick Mullens Remains The Starter For Week 15

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Nick Mullens will remain the starter for the Week 15 game against the Cowboys. It'll be Mullens' eighth start of the year with Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) on Injured Reserve. It could be the 25-year-old's last shot, too, especially in a very favorable matchup against Dallas […]

Raheem Mostert Misses Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. It's not a good start to the week for a player that has already been on Injured Reserve this season. Mostert will need to at least get in a limited practice on Thursday or Friday in order to have […]

Alex Smith's Injury Not Related To Broken Leg

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) said his right calf strain is not at all related to his previous broken leg that almost ended his career and caused him to almost lose his leg. Smith said it was "a freak thing" that was minor the week before and became a bigger issue in the […]

Drew Brees Has Successful Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs), officially returned to practice on Wednesday, and it went well. The Saints have three weeks to place him on the active roster, so they won't rush him, but Wednesday's practice was a great sign for the veteran quarterback. It would be nice to see Brees battle Patrick […]

Raiders Defense To Be Without Four Starters Thursday

The Las Vegas Raiders will be without defensive end Clelin Ferrell (shoulder), safety Johnathan Abram (concussion, knee), rookie cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion, neck) and lineback Nicolas Morrow (concussion, neck) for Thursday night's game against the division-rival Chargers. The Raiders just fired their defensive coordinator after allowing 40-plus points in the loss to the Colts. Las […]

Greg Olsen Returning To Practice

The Seattle Seahawks are opening tight end Greg Olsen's (foot) 21-day window to return to practice after being put on Injured Reserve. Olsen now has a chance to reach his goal of returning before the end of the 2020 season in what could very well be his last year in the NFL. While the 35-year-old […]

Buccaneers Put Ronald Jones II On COVID-19 List

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed running back Ronald Jones II (finger) on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Jones' status for Week 15 against the Falcons was already in doubt after he underwent surgery on his fractured pinkie finger this week, so this news all but rules him out. Not only is Jones now doubtful to […]

Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin, James Proche On COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens placed wide receivers Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and rookie James Proche II on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Even if all three of the wideouts are just high-risk close contacts of someone that tested positive for the virus, all three of them are now in doubt to play in Week 15 against […]

Julian Edelman Returns To Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. It's a sign that the 34-year-old could return to action in Week 15 against the Dolphins after being out since Week 7 due to a knee injury and a positive COVID-19 test. Edelman would be a risky flex option for […]
