Derek Carr Good To Go For Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) was not listed on the team's final injury report on Thursday for Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday night. This comes as a pretty big surprise after Carr suffered a significant groin strain in last Thursday's loss to the Chargers. He was expected to miss time, but […]

Allen Robinson II Misses Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Thursday. He was a full participant on Wednesday, so unless the Bears are just resting their top receiver, this will be something to watch heading into Friday. Wide receiver/running back/kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) also sat out of practice for the […]

A.J. Brown Sits Out Of Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) did not take part in practice on Thursday after being a limited participant on Wednesday. Brown has been banged up for most of the season, but the Titans are just giving him a little extra rest ahead of the Week 16 showdown against the Packers on Sunday night. […]

Tyreek Hill Gets In Limited Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Chiefs were just being cautious with their star receiver and held him out on Wednesday as a precaution after his hamstring tightened up in the Week 15 win over the Saints. In a favorable matchup […]

Bills Release Jake Kumerow

The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Jake Kumerow on Thursday. Kumerow signed with the Bills practice squad after spending the last two seasons in Green Bay. The 28-year-old caught his only pass in six games with Buffalo in the Week 15 win over the Broncos, and it went for 22 yards and a touchdown. In […]

Keenan Allen Likely A Game-Time Decision Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will likely be a game-time decision in Week 16 against the division-rival Broncos, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. Allen was active last Thursday against the Raiders but played just 24 of 66 offensive snaps, leading to just one catch on three targets for 17 yards. Making […]

George Kittle Will Play Saturday

San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle (foot) will play in Week 16 against the Cardinals on Saturday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan said that Kittle felt "great" and will be on somewhat of a pitch count in his first game back since Week 8 against the Seahawks. Hopefully those fantasy managers […]

Julio Jones Remains Out Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Jones received a platelet-rich plasma injection and wants to play again in 2020, but there's no guarantee that happens. Unless he can get in a limited practice on Friday, the All-Pro receiver is likely to miss the Week 16 […]

Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Questionable For Saturday

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb), kicker Matt Prater (back) and center Frank Ragnow (throat) are all questionable for Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday. All three players were limited in practice on Friday. Stafford was limited all week and should continue to play through the pain. He hasn't missed a single start […]

Hunter Henry Placed On COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end Hunter Henry on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, so he will be forced to miss the Week 16 game against the division-rival Broncos. Henry saw more looks in last Thursday's win over the Raiders with both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams limited with injuries, and he finished with […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Misses Practice Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice on Friday but was not on the team's final Week 16 injury report against the Lions. Pierre-Paul should be active on Saturday against Detroit and has a good chance of bouncing back after not recording a single tackle or sack in the Week 15 […]

Cardinals Talks With Yadier Molina Have Slowed

The St. Louis Cardinals would like to keep "legacy players" in catcher Yadier Molina and starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, but talks with both franchise icons have screeched to a halt lately. Molina is seeking a two-year deal and it's still likely that the Cardinals can bridge the current gap to re-sign the future Hall of […]

Nationals Trade For Josh Bell

The Washington Nationals acquired first baseman Josh Bell from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday in exchange for young pitchers Wil Crowe and Eddy Yean. Bell set career highs in almost every category when he made his first All-Star team in 2019 by hitting .277 with 37 home runs and 116 RBI, but he regressed in […]

Phillip Lindsay, Bradley Chubb Miss Another Practice

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (hip) and defensive end Bradley Chubb (ankle) are sitting out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Lindsay will be a game-time decision in Week 16 against the Chargers. He's been bothered by injuries for much of the year, and his performance has suffered in the second […]

Kyle Rudolph, Alexander Mattison, Eric Kendricks Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot), running back Alexander Mattison (concussion) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) have been ruled out for Friday's Christmas Day game against the Saints. Rudolph will miss his third straight game. Irv Smith Jr. has seven catches for 100 yards and one touchdown in the last two games with Rudolph […]

Carlton Davis To Be A Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) will be a game-time decision for Week 16 against the Lions on Saturday. Davis, a third-year starter, hasn't practiced this week after leaving the Week 15 game early with a groin injury. The 23-year-old is on the wrong side of questionable for […]

Broncos Defense Facing Chargers For Second Time

The Denver Broncos and their 21st-ranked defense will square off against the division-rival Chargers and their seventh-ranked offense under impressive rookie quarterback Justin Herbert for the second time in 2020 in Week 16. Denver allowed 30 points in the Week 8 last-second victory. Herbert went 29-for-43 for 278 yards passing, three touchdowns and two interceptions. […]

Brandon McManus To Return Against Chargers

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and will be available to kick in Week 16 against the Chargers after sitting out the Week 15 loss to the Bills. Taylor Russolino, who filled in for McManus last week, will head back to the practice squad. McManus made all four […]

Noah Fant On The Rise Entering Week 16

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had his best game of the season in Week 15 against the Bills, securing eight of a season-high 11 targets for 68 yards and his third touchdown of the year. The matchup against the Chargers this weekend isn't as promising, although they have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to […]

Antonio Gibson Has A Chance To Play

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) went through individual drills for the second day in a row on Thursday and has a chance to play in Week 16 against the Panthers. The 22-year-old has missed the last two games while dealing with a painful case of turf toe, but he could be […]

Alex Smith Trending In The Wrong Direction?

The sense from the Washington Football Team this week has been that it would be challenging for quarterback Alex Smith (calf) to return from his calf injury in Week 16 against the Panthers. As of Thursday, Dwayne Haskins Jr. is taking the starting repetitions at practice and is tracking to start on Sunday against Carolina. […]

K.J. Hamler Shouldn't Be Owned In Single-Year Formats

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler broke out for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 14 win over the Panthers. But he had just two catches on three targets, proving to be an outlier, especially after he caught just one of four targets last Saturday against the Bills for four yards. Hamler […]

Jerry Jeudy Trying To Break Out Of Slump

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy appears to have hit the proverbial rookie wall. He hasn't had more than three catches in a game since Week 10 against the Raiders and had only one reception on five targets for 19 yards in last week's loss to Buffalo. But he'll get a Chargers Defense in Week […]

Tim Patrick Must Find End Zone To Help Fantasy Managers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick leads the team's receivers in touchdowns this year with six, but the entire team's wide receiver corps is a dice roll given the unpredictable and inconsistent nature of the offense as a whole this year and second-year quarterback Drew Lock. Patrick has been the team's most consistent wideout and […]

Melvin Gordon III Facing Old Team Again This Weekend

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III will face his old team, the Chargers, for the second time this season in Week 16. He'll be hoping for a better performance after carrying the ball eight times for just 26 yards against them back in Week 8. He also had a season-high six receptions for 21 […]

Drew Lock Can't Be Trusted Against Chargers

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had one of his better games this year against the Chargers back in Week 8, throwing for 248 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the last-second win over their division rivals. Lock threw for a season-high four touchdowns and 280 yards against Carolina in Week 14, but he returned […]

Giants Optimistic On Daniel Jones In Week 16

The New York Giants are really optimistic that quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) can return to play in Week 16 against the Ravens after sitting out the Week 15 loss to the Browns. Head coach Joe Judge said he was "really encouraged" when asked how optimistic he was about Jones and added that the second-year […]

Ronald Jones II Officially Ruled Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (finger) has been officially ruled out for Week 16 against the Lions on Saturday. Jones also remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and was doubtful to play heading into this week after having surgery to put a pin into his broken finger before Week 15. Leonard Fournette took […]

Carlos Carrasco A Potential Trade Chip?

The Cleveland Indians could include right-hander Carlos Carrasco in a trade package with shortstop Francisco Lindor, much like the Red Sox did when they included starting pitcher David Price and All-Star outfielder Mookie Betts in a trade package to the Dodgers. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cleveland make a move like this, with Carrasco […]

Trevor Bauer Not Considering One-Year Deals

Free-agent starting pitcher and National League Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer is weighing multiple offers on the table, but he won't be considering one-year deals. It makes sense that the 29-year-old right-hander wouldn't forego the security and lucrative nature of the best multi-year deals he will likely ever command on the open market after the […]
