Braden Smith Ruled Out For Week 16

Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Steelers after he was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo (ankle) was also downgraded to out. Head coach Frank Reich wouldn't say who would start at the bookends on the offensive line against a Pittsburgh […]

Greg Olsen Set To Play Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen (foot) and defensive lineman Bryan Mone (ankle) will be activated from Injured Reserve and are set to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Rams, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

The San Francisco 49ers will be without defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw (knee) for Week 16 against the Cardinals on Saturday. Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring), who was questionable, will play. Cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) also will not play for San Francisco's defense. The Niners defense hasn't been terrible this year, but they just haven't had a […]

Dontrelle Inman Being Released

The Washington Football Team is releasing wide receiver Dontrelle Inman on Saturday in order to activate rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden off of Injured Reserve, according to a source. Inman could be a nice veteran addition off waivers down the stretch for a contending club. After playing for the Colts and Chargers in 2019, Inman […]

Browns Flight Delayed Due To COVID-19

The Cleveland Browns closed their facility on Saturday and their flight to New Jersey to face the Jets in Week 16 on Sunday has been delayed while contact tracing is being conducted following a positive player test for COVID-19.

Blaine Gabbert Replaces Tom Brady In Second Half

Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert replaced Tom Brady under center to begin the second half of Saturday's game against the Lions with the Bucs already up 34-0 going into the second half. Gabbert promptly hit tight end Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown on his first attempt of the game to put Tampa up […]

Matthew Stafford Injured Saturday, Ruled Out

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (foot) has been downgraded to out after hobbling off early in Saturday's Week 16 game against the Buccaneers. The Lions are down 34 points to begin the second half, so the Lions understandably don't want to risk anything else with Stafford after he came into the game already dealing with […]

Ha-seong Kim Has Multiple Offers

Korean shortstop Ha-seong Kim could have multiple long-term offers on the table from MLB teams, according to sources. The Kiwoom Heroes star has several offers in the five-plus-year range. Kim's posting period will end on Jan. 1, which gives MLB teams one more week to work out a deal with him. The 25-year-old had a […]

Dodgers Could Be Lurking For Trevor Bauer, DJ LeMahieu

The Los Angeles Dodgers could be in play for free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer and second baseman DJ LeMahieu. If Bauer goes for the longest contract worth the most money, he's unlikely to land with the Dodgers. But if he would consider a short-term deal, the Dodgers could be a great fit, as long as […]

Rangers Reach Two-Year Deal With Kohei Arihara

The Texas Rangers signed Japanese right-hander Kohei Arihara to a two-year deal on Saturday worth $6-7 million, according to sources. The 28-year-old had a 3.74 ERA in six seasons with the Nippon Ham Fighters and went 8-9 with 106 strikeouts and a 3.46 ERA in 132 2/3 innings in 20 outings for the team in […]

Joe Burrow Walking After Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) sent out a 12-second video on Twitter on Friday that showed him walking for the first time since he underwent successful reconstructive knee surgery on Dec. 2.

Drew Brees Becomes First QB To 80,000 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees became the first player in NFL history to throw for 80,000 yards in the Week 16 win over the Vikings on Christmas Day on Friday. Brees, the league's all-time career passer, entered the game needing just 154 yards for the record. The future Hall of Famer finished the game […]

Saints Defense Loses Kwon Alexander To Torn Achilles

New Orleans Saints linebacker Kwon Alexander (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Christmas Day win over the Vikings on Friday and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Alexander was traded to New Orleans from San Francisco this year and recorded 27 total tackles, four passes defensed, a forced fumble […]

Saints Claim Jake Kumerow Off Waivers

The New Orleans Saints claimed wide receiver Jake Kumerow off waivers from the Bills, according to a source. Kumerow caught just one pass in six games with Buffalo before being waived, but that one catch was a 22-yard touchdown in the Week 15 win over the Broncos. Kumerow is unlikely to become a fantasy relevant […]

Whitney Mercilus Placed On COVID-19 List

The Houston Texans placed outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It's unknown if Mercilus tested positive for the virus himself or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who did. Either way, he won't be available to play in Week 16 against the Bengals. Mercilus has not […]

Golden Tate Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (calf) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Ravens. Tate hasn't really been on the fantasy radar this year in redraft leagues, as he's been buried on the depth chart behind Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and tight end Evan Engram in 2020. The 32-year-old has just […]

Terry McLaurin Listed As Doubtful

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the Panthers. McLaurin did not practice all week and likely won't be able to help fantasy managers win a championship this week. It's really bad timing, as McLaurin has become a must-start fantasy wideout in his second season. His […]

James Robinson Questionable Against Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (ankle) missed practice for the third straight day on Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Bears. Robinson was rested in practice this week but said he wants to play on Sunday. The impressive rookie was already nicked up before the Week 15 blowout […]

Julio Jones Ruled Out For Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), cornerback Darqueze Dennard (quadriceps), center Alex Mack (concussion) and guard James Carpenter (groin) were ruled out for Week 16 against the Chiefs. This will be Jones' third straight missed game, making it unlikely that we see the veteran All-Pro wideout the rest of the season. Calvin Ridley has […]

DJ LeMahieu Remains Likely To Stay In Bronx

The New York Mets have checked in with free-agent second baseman DJ LeMahieu after the suspension of Robinson Cano, but the New York Yankees' high interest level still makes it very likely that they re-sign LeMahieu. "I'd say there's an 80% or higher chance that DJ LeMahieu is going to be a New York Yankee," […]

Signs Pointing To Derek Carr Starting Against Dolphins

All signs are pointing toward Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) making the start in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday after he didn't show up on the team's final injury report on Thursday. However, head coach Jon Gruden said that he's "not going to let the cat out of the bag" regarding […]

Giants, Logan Ryan Agree To Three-Year Deal

The New York Giants agreed to a three-year deal for $31 million with star defensive back Logan Ryan on Friday, according to a source. The deal includes $20 million guaranteed. Ryan signed a one-year deal with the club in the offseason. The 29-year-old is one of the best defensive backs in the league and also […]

Marcus Semien Could Be A Fit With Red Sox

Free-agent shortstop Marcus Semien could be a fit with the Boston Red Sox, but at second base. Semien has played the most games of any shortstop from 2018-20 and was fifth among shortstops in WRC+ in 2018. He was the college roommate of current Red Sox scouting director Paul Toboni. Xander Bogaerts remains entrenched at […]

Raiders Defense To Be Without Three Starters

The Las Vegas Raiders defense will be without three starters in defensive end Clelin Ferrell (shoulder) and linebackers Nick Kwiatkoski and Nicholas Morrow in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday. Kwiatkoski and Morrow both went on the COVID-19 list this week. However, they will be getting safety Johnathan Abram (concussion), rookie cornerback Damon Arnette […]

Henry Ruggs III Good To Go For Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and will be available in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday. Ruggs was forced to sit out last Thursday's loss to the division-rival Chargers. The speedy rookie from Alabama has seen more than four targets in a game […]

Derek Carr Hasn't Been Named The Starter

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is "optimistic" that quarterback Derek Carr (groin) will be active in Week 16 against the Dolphins on Saturday, but Gruden wouldn't name the starting QB against Miami. Carr suffered a strained groin last Thursday and was removed from the final Week 16 injury report, but backup Marcus Mariota […]

Chase Edmonds, Larry Fitzgerald Questionable For Saturday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle, knee), wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin), linebacker Haason Reddick (shoulder) and tight end Maxx Williams (ankle) are questionable for Week 16 against the 49ers on Saturday. Edmonds was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out Tuesday and Wednesday. He was questionable last week before out-touching and out-producing […]

DeVante Parker, Jakeem Grant Sr., Mike Gesicki Questionable

Miami Dolphins wide receivers DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring), tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder), guard Ereck Flowers (ankle) and defensive end Shaq Lawson (shoulder) are questionable for Week 16 against the Raiders on Saturday. Parker and Grant are trending in the right direction after sitting out last week. Las Vegas' defense has […]
