Tom Brady Set To Play In 300th Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will play in his 300th career NFL game in Week 16 against the Lions on Saturday in the very same NFL city where he made his NFL debut back in 2000. Counting the postseason, Brady will be playing in his 341st career game. He'll become only the 12th player […]

Jason Garrett Expected To Call Plays Sunday

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that the plan is to have offensive coordinator Jason Garrett calling the plays in Week 16 against the Ravens. There are still some logistical measures to be worked out, but Garrett is expected to be back in the fold after missing the Week 15 loss to the […]

Jedrick Wills Jr. Placed On COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns placed rookie offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and also added wide receiver Ryan Switzer to the practice-squad COVID-19 list. Wills, the 10th overall pick out of Alabama, will be forced to sit out in Week 16 against the Jets on Sunday, even if he was just […]

Carson Wentz Handling Benching Like A Pro

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson has been impressed with the way quarterback Carson Wentz has handled losing the starting job to rookie Jalen Hurts. ESPN reported last week that Wentz was unhappy with the current situation and that he was "not interested" in backing up Hurts. But Pederson said Wentz hasn't allowed the switch […]

Darrell Bevell Won't Coach On Saturday

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell, who was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19, will not coach the team in Week 16 on Saturday against the Buccaneers, according to sources. Bevell will be the first head coach to miss a game this year due to COVID-19 protocols. Wide […]

Alex Smith Has A Good Day At Practice

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday and had a "really good day." Smith was officially limited, but he has a chance to return in Week 16 against the Panthers after sitting out last weekend. Washington had hoped all along that Smith's absence was just a one-week thing, and it's […]

Tre'Quan Smith Misses Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) and offensive lineman Andrus Peat (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Smith injured his ankle in the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs and is not off to a good start to the week, especially on a short week against the Vikings on Christmas Day on Friday. […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Sits Out Of Practice

Chicago Bears kick returner/running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Patterson avoided a serious knee injury in the Week 15 win over the Vikings, but it doesn't mean that he'll be able to play in Week 16 against the Jaguars. Losing the 29-year-old for this weekend […]

Chris Carson, Carlos Dunlap Limited

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) and defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring setbacks later this week, both players should suit up in Week 16 against the Rams. Carson was the lead back last week against Washington but saw his three-game touchdown streak snapped when backup Carlos […]

Kyle Rudolph, Eric Kendricks Don't Practice

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Rudolph has missed the last two games and appears to be on track to miss his third straight contest on a short week against the Saints on Christmas Day this Friday. Irv Smith Jr. has caught seven passes […]

Aaron Jones, Allen Lazard Limited In Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (toe), wide receiver Allen Lazard (core, wrist) and linebacker Za'Darius Smith (ankle, neck, thumb) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Jones totaled 158 yards and a touchdown last week against the Panthers and will be a top-five fantasy running back against a Titans Defense that is allowing […]

Jamaal Williams, Jace Sternberger Miss Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (thigh) and tight end Jace Sternberger (concussion, illness) were among five players that did not practice on Wednesday. Williams was injured in the Week 15 win over the Panthers and could be in danger of sitting out in Week 16 against the Titans on Sunday night. He had […]

Chase Edmonds, Larry Fitzgerald Miss Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle, knee) and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. Edmonds was questionable to play in Week 15 but ended up with his best performance of the season, totaling 14 touches, 66 yards and a touchdown with more touches than Kenyan Drake. We can't expect to […]

Fletcher Cox Misses Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (neck), tight end Richard Rodgers (ankle) and defensive end Josh Sweat (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. On the flip side, cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) practiced in full for the first time since Week 12. Cox, a Pro Bowler each of the last six years, is a big part […]

Jeffery Simmons Misses Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (knee) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Simmons will need to get in some practice time later this week if he hopes to play in Week 16 against the Packers. While Tennessee's defense should be avoided for this matchup against Green Bay's high-powered offense under Aaron Rodgers, […]

A.J. Brown Limited In Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Brown has been playing through some nagging injuries, but he continues to be a stud on Sundays and should be locked into starting lineups for fantasy championship matchups as a WR1. The 23-year-old looked fine in the Week 15 win over the […]

Eric Ebron, Stephon Tuitt Out Of Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (back) and defensive end Stephon Tuitt (back) didn't take part in practice on Wednesday. Ebron avoided organ damage when he was injured in the Monday night loss to the Bengals, but he's in danger of missing a Week 16 matchup with the Colts. Fantasy managers need to monitor his […]

James Conner Returns To Full Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (quadriceps) and offensive guard Kevin Dotson (shoulder) were full participants in practice on Wednesday. Conner sat out of the Monday night loss to the Bengals in Week 15 but appears to be on track for a return in Week 16 against the Colts and their tough defense. Benny Snell […]

Dez Bryant, Calais Campbell Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant (thigh), defensive end Calais Campbell (calf) and cornerbacks Marcus Peters (calf) and Jimmy Smith (ribs, shoulder) were among the players that didn't practice on Wednesday. Bryant had just one catch on three targets in the blowout win over the Jaguars in Week 15, but the one grab went for […]

Derek Carr Practices In Full Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. This is a bit surprising after Carr suffered a significant groin strain in last Thursday's loss to the Chargers. Carr and backup Marcus Mariota have received repetitions in practice so far this week, so the Raiders likely won't make a […]

Red Sox Sign Matt Andriese

The Boston Red Sox agreed to a one-year deal with right-handed pitcher Matt Andriese on Wednesday. The deal includes a team option for the 2022 season. In addition, Boston claimed catcher Deivy Grullon off waivers from the Reds. Andriese made 16 appearances (one start) for the Angels in 2020 and had a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 […]

Myles Gaskin Returns From COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins activated running back Myles Gaskin from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Gaskin missed the last two games but should return as the team's lead back for an important Week 16 game against the Raiders on Saturday. The 23-year-old has been the Dolphins most productive back in 2020, but he's also played in […]

Ezekiel Elliott Thinks He'll Play Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) thinks he's on track to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Eagles despite a calf injury that has bothered him for the last three weeks and kept him on the sidelines in Week 15 against the 49ers for the first time in his career. Elliott did some […]

Giants Commit To Daniel Jones As Starter

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) is the team's quarterback moving forward. Judge said he's committed to Jones for Week 16 against the Ravens, the rest of the season and heading into 2021. The No. 6 overall pick in 2019 has had his ups and downs and […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Stripped Of Captainship

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. took part in the team's practice on Wednesday after publicly apologizing for violating the league's COVID-19 protocols. He attended a private party without a mask and was fined $40,000, the largest known fine for a COVID-19 protocol violation. Haskins was also stripped of his captainship, which he earned […]

Evan Engram, Golden Tate Limited Wednesday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf), wide receiver Golden Tate (calf), defensive back Darnay Holmes (knee) and offensive lineman Matt Peart (ankle) were limited in practice on Wednesday. Engram was questionable to play last week but suited up and caught four of his seven targets for 46 yards in the Week 15 loss […]

Tyreek Hill, Clyde Edwards-Helaire Don't Practice

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring), rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) and linebacker Damien Wilson didn't practice on Wednesday. Reid said that Hill's hamstring tightened up on him in the Week 15 win over the Saints and the team wants him to rest. It doesn't […]

Brian Burns Won't Need Surgery

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that pass-rusher Brian Burns (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday, but he will not require surgery. Offensive lineman Russell Okung (hip) and cornerback Troy Pride also missed practice Wednesday. Burns, 22, has been fantasy relevant this year with his 56 combined tackles (seven for loss), 20 QB hits, three […]

Browns Defense Getting Healthy Ahead Of Week 16

Cleveland Browns safety Andrew Sendejo (concussion) has been cleared to practice, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The team also expects defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson (neck) to play in Week 16 against the Jets. Safety Ronnie Harrison (concussion) has also been designated to return from Injured Reserve. Cleveland's defense held the Giants and backup quarterback […]

Tytus Howard Unlikely To Play Against Bengals

Houston Texans interim head coach Romeo Crennel said that it's "unlikely" that offensive lineman Tytus Howard (concussion) will play in Week 16 against the Bengals after suffering a concussion in the Week 15 loss to the Colts. The 24-year-old first-round pick in 2019 has started all 14 games for Houston's offensive line this year, so […]
