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 […]

Cardinals Defense Loses Dennis Gardeck To Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals placed linebacker Dennis Gardeck (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday with a knee injury, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Gardeck will miss the final two regular season games and the first postseason game, if Arizona qualifies. The undrafted 26-year-old has been one of the team's best defensive playmakers in 2020 and […]

Tre'Quan Smith Lands On Injured Reserve

The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury on Thursday after he suffered the injury in the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs. Smith will miss at least three games, meaning he won't be available for the first game of the postseason. With Michael Thomas (ankle) […]

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 […]
