Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Antonio Gibson Should Have Sizable Role Against Panthers

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is back for Week 16 against the Panthers and should have a sizable role after sitting out the team's last two games with a painful turf-toe injury.

Terry McLaurin Officially Out In Week 16

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is officially out for Week 16 against the Panthers. McLaurin was previously listed as doubtful, so his fantasy managers should have already benched him and made alternate plans for championship week.

Christian McCaffrey Officially Out In Week 16

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Washington Football Team.

At this point with just one meaningless game in Week […]

Duke Johnson To Miss Another Game

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (neck) has been officially ruled out for Week 16 against the Bengals.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Texans.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) will play in Week 16 against the division-rival Eagles, according to a source.

Nationals Not Ruling Out Ryan Zimmerman

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said that he's not ruling out a reunion with first baseman Ryan Zimmerman despite the fact that the team just traded for first baseman Josh Bell on Christmas Eve.

James Robinson Won't Play Against Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (ankle), who ranks third in rushing yards this year, missed the entire week of practice and will not play in Week 16 against the Bears, according to a source. The 22-year-old has been a revelation for the Jaguars and fantasy managers this year, but it looks like he […]

Royce Freeman Questionable For Week 16

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and will be questionable for Week 16 against the division-rival Chargers.
